What do retired boxing champion Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, Actor Ed O’Neill, and Redbelt director and Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet have in common? You might find these four friends, who all study Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, banging around town together. Ray works out with Rorian Gracie. O’Neill (a.k.a. Al Bundy) got his black belt in BJJ in 2007. Mamet got his purple belt from Renato Magno.
This group needs no bodyguards when they go out for beers. Especially if they bring along Dave’s old friend Ricky Jay, magician/actor and author of Cards as Weapons.
Truth is officially stranger than fiction.
