I asked the nice young lady working the floor if she knows who they are. She stared...blankly...obviously clueless. I asked another two young gents who were working nearby. Similarly clueless. One asked if I know who they are. I said yes, of course. One is a legend and the other, his son, is on his way to being a legend. Still...blank stares... Then I said they are Gracies (father-son) and the photo is from a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament. They nodded and said, "Oh yeah." Then the gal spoke up and said, "That makes sense because that company is from Brazil." SMH... no it's not.
Still... I was shocked. I know Kron is part of the Moskova family, but that doesn't explain how a photo of him with Rickson wound up on the end cap display at a very trendy surf shop in San Diego. Has BJJ become that mainstream that Moskova figured the Gracie's could help sell their choners? Or was this the work of a rogue Moskova distributor who moonlights as a jitsuka?
