The On line Jiu Jitsu community is rallying behind Rener Gracie at the minute
I never would have thought I would be asking you to
Usually My Gracie Insider makes me want to spend my cash on yet another Gracie T Shirt design but this week's I found myself following their link to Orpah's site and I have been there every day this week - sharing with as many people as I can. But Why?
Oprah is leaving ABC later this year and just announced a contest where you can win your own reality TV Show for her 'Oprah Network TV Channel'
Now I was going to submit my ideas for 'Sewing with Scott' or 'How to Spoon the elderly'
But I have decided to put those on the back burner for a while so instead I have been casting my Vote for Rener Gracie who is putting forward his own concept for 'BullyProof'
WATCH RENER'S AUDITION & Vote
As it says:
Bullyproof Featuring the Gracie Brothers
The concept for the show is simple. Every day, hundreds of thousands of kids are terrified to go to school out of fear of bullies. These kids are depressed, have no self-confidence, and unfortunately, many of them are borderline suicidal. On our TV show, the Gracie Brothers will sweep the nation's schools to find the children who are most victimized by bullies. These children will be brought to the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy where, over the period of several weeks, they will be "bullyproofed" from the inside out. By empowering the children - physically, mentally, and emotionally - we will give them the confidence to take a stand against bullies so they can take control of their lives. Without confidence, a child has no chance at success, and on this show we are going to make sure that every child gets a fair chance. We have successfully "bullyproofed" thousands of kids over the years and having this show on the air would enable us to share our methods with millions of people.
The online Jiu Jitsu community is aswering the call to get on line and vote and Rener is currently in the lead. The cool thing is you're allowed to vote multiple times. The deadline is July 3, 2010, and only the top 5 candidates will go on to the next level.
The fightworks Podcast will also be featuring Rener this weekend to get more information. If The Gracies were to get a show on the Oprah Network there's no telling how many kids they could help.
