Yes you’re right there; for me to maintain training, I go to the States twice and year and Brazil twice a year with Royler and when ever Royce is in town I train with him and he’s over in the UK in May and will be the first Gracie to teach in Romania. I always try and stay ahead of my game, hard work and dedication is the key.


CF: Where’s David Adiv teaching now?

EK: He’s in Jersey right now; if you look on our site you will see the network is expanding, with more clubs opening up around the world. Last year we arranged the first summer camp in Europe, in Romania, it was incredible and we have another one this year in July and every year we try and maintain links out there. We had the Romanian Cup with the RGDA, who put together their version of SENI, the Gracie Invitational. I am back and forth out there, making sure they are kept up to date with the latest training techniques.

David will be over in September and maybe Royler before, I’m not sure, as with Royler, if he accepts a fight, David is part of his training team and so I lose two guys instead of one.


CF: Eddie, the coffees are here, time to end the interview and get back to chilling out with the other guys, thanks for the interview.

EK: My pleasure.
