If you want you can drive to torrance and train with the Gracies. Bas Rutten and Randy Couture are opening a gym in Hollywood and I'm sure they'll take as many students as they can get.
It's like when Van Halen came out everyone was blown away by Eddie's guitar playing. Doing hammer ons, and pull offs. Now you walk into any Guitar Center and there's guys playing better. Musican's Institute churns them out.
Nothing stays a mystery forever, and the next generation always builds on the previous.
