Rener and Ryron Gracie have sent an email  statement last week to Gracie Certified Training Center (GCTC) Owners warning them not to do business with their brother Ralek.

One such email was seen by Flograppling. In it the the two brothers issue a statement distancing themselves from Ralek Gracie’s business practices following his less than savory business practices in regards to Metamoris.

Ryron and Rener Gracie affirmed they have nothing to do with Metamoris, no involvement or stakes. And they’ve used strongly worded warnings for GCTC instructors not to engage with Ralek or Metamoris.

“We have no stake in Metamoris, but we have always supported our brother, Ralek,” the email reads.

Happy Birthday Grandpa! In the beginning, I thought jiu-jitsu mastery was the final objective, but in the end, you taught me that jiu-jitsu mastery was just the beginning. Thank you for all the life lessons and for always leading by example. #heliogracieday

“Although we haven’t always agreed with the Metamoris business practices, we never felt it was our place to publicly express our concerns with the operation… until now.”

Ralek was under fire for promising to pay off his debts (toward workers, competitors and other involved with Metamoris) and then backtracking.

Rener and Ryron email sent on Wednesday October 19th says they’ve severed their business relationship with him.

“Ralek has engaged in dishonest and fraudulent activity, and continues to do so despite our repeated efforts to guide him,” the email reads. “We have decided to terminate all business relations with Ralek and Metamoris.”

Rener confirmed the authenticity of the email to flograppling earlier yesterday.

The email concludes with a warning saying that the two feel obligated to caution against doing business with Ralek:

“We feel obligated to caution anyone who is considering doing business with [Ralek] or Metamoris on any level. ”
