SPECIAL THANKS

We have as contributors to this new version Master Alvaro Barreto, Master Mansor, Master Carlos Robson Gracie, Master Osvaldo Alves, Master Flavio Behering, Prof. Jose Herique Leao Teixeira, Assed Naked Hadad, Master Royler Gracie, Fernando Guimaraes, Mr. President of the LERJJI Silvio Pereira, Prof. Carlos Gracie Jr. and Professor Alvaro Mansor Guarconi.
