Donna, could you give us a breakdown on who the various schools are that the fighters belong to? Most know Gracie and BTT, but the others might not be familiar. Also, is there any rivalry between the schools that makes it even more interesting?

I don´t follow it very close, but I`ll do my best.

Nova União and Ruas Vale-Tudo are now officialy training together. There is, no rivalry there.

Alliance, Nova União, are competing in bjj under the new confederation CBJJO, and are considered "creontes" by the most traditional Gracies. There are divisions under the Gracie name, and some of them are pro CBJJO, while others stick with the old CBJJ.

There are teams that I´ve never heard about either, like Golden Team or UGF.

Denis Gomes(AtaÃ*de JR) has been training with João Roque too. He is from the same team of Rany Yahra, who fought at ADCC 2003.

The names I recognize at the absolute division make me think that all of them are bjj black belts.
