Today, we remember Richard Bresler, a jiu-jitsu pioneer and our father's first student in California. His legacy extends far beyond his achievements in the art.
During one of our hospital visits, Richard shared this story of a chance encounter at Whole Foods with our mother. He explained that after commenting on the Gracie hoodie she was wearing, our mom took the hoodie off and gave it to him without hesitation, a gesture that resonated deeply with him. This heartfelt moment reflected her eternal gratitude for his tireless support of our family.
In this spirit, Richard was allowed any merch from GU, any time, at no cost, and we never knew how much that meant to him until this day.
We love you Richard. Your sacrifice and support will be cherished and remembered forever.
