Summary Renzo Gracie Academy is one of the top ju-jitsu clubs in North America - if not the world. Peter earned his belts there, and wants the Cubes to to see first-hand how elite fighters train, and to learn from them. With eight weeks to go, six of them make the trip. Boyd mulls his impending first fight during the 15-hour drive. His opponent, Robin Black, a pro with 9 fights to his name, is trying to get into Boyd's head with bullying blog posts. Rick is rejuvenated by the trip to New York, calling it a highlight of his life. Steve can't make the trip, but he is top of mind after he sends the Cubes a funny gift in the Big Apple. On a stroll through Times Square, Rick, Boyd and Sebastian reflect on how the program has upset their prior complacency, and changed them deeply. The three-day training session with some of Renzo Gracie's best coaches is a confidence booster. Back in Halifax, Boyd demonstrates a new level of focus that is blurred somewhat during an extra-tough training session in which Peter hits him with a barrage of shark-baiting sparring opponents. He must keep in mind Igor Gracie's advice: Train hard, fight easy.
