News: Ralph Gracie fires Kurt Osiander from the San Francisco academy.

TIL that Ralph Gracie sold his San Francisco academy to Gracie Barra. According to my friend, a top guy from GB, Joao Filipe "Jerry" Oliveira, walked in one day and without any warning fired long time instructor Jake Scovel (sp?) and then began implementing a bunch of rule--no swearing, no music, shirts always, which the members were not used to. Joao Filipe would not let Kurt teach classes in the afternoons or evenings and hired another guy to teach them. So I guess Joao Filipe replaced Jake Scovel and Kurt with himself and another guy to make the academy into a GB. Kurt definitely does not fit the GB mold, got pissed and left or was fired. That is all I've heard and it makes some sense given the Podcast.
