The first is a clip of a young Kron making his father “tap out” via an armbar from the movie "Choke," [5] a documentary about his father Rickson during the 1995 Vale Tudo World Fighting Championship in Tokyo.[6] The second is of them practicing backstage at the 2009 European Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships.[7]
