Terere: "Let Them Know I'm Coming Back!"

When a voice sounded over the Nextel radio of Professor Elan Santiago (Alliance), he couldn’t believe what who it was.

- Hey, man! How’re you doing?

So Elan answered. It was the lively voice of the old Fernando Tererê, the Jiu-Jitsu champion who has been hospitalized in a rehabilitation clinic in Sorocaba, Sao Paulo state, for the last two months. So they had a conversation like they hadn’t had in years.

I've contributed to the fund to help defray the costs of Terere's rehab - and am likely to do so again over the next few days. There's a Paypal link at the bottom of the Gracie Magazine article. If nothing else, please send a few positive thoughts southward today.

Here is a peek at the "old" Terere if you need a little inspiration.
