It’s awesome when the worlds of BJJ and Hardcore music meet. BJJ legend Vinicus Draculino, one of the top instructors of Gracie Barra based in Texas, was a guest singer at a recent Cro Mags concert in Texas.
Draculino described the experience:
Life bucket list: sing in a live show with one of your favorite bands and people at all times ( @harleyfflanagan ), the original Cromag and one of my favorite songs ever ( “hard times”)… CHECKED! 👍🏻 thank you, Brother for the opportunity and sorry for the mistake on the timing on the beginning 😂! TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN HOUSTON! HARLEY IS PLAYING IN THERE TONIGHT! DONT MISS IT! The best hardcore show EVER!
