A little bit
of history
:
The Gracie style of Jiu-Jitsu
was created in Brazil in the
early part of this century by
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pioneer
Carlos Gracie, who studied
traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu
as a teenager under the great
Japanese champion, Mitsuyo
Maeda, known in Brazil as Conde
Koma- the "Count of
Combat".
Carlos Gracie was also
interested in street fighting
and boxing and quickly modified
many of the classical
techniques he learned from
Count Koma to meet the demands
of "no-rules" fighting in the
streets of
Brazil.
The young Carlos Gracie started
testing and refining his system
through constant matches, open
to all comers, continually
working to make it more
effective and lethal. At one
point, he even began
advertising in newspapers and
on street corners fornew
opponents upon whom to practice
and further refine his
art.
Carlos Gracie fought anyone and
everyone who was willing,
regardless of size, weight or
fighting style. Although he was
a mere 135 pounds, his style
was so effective that Carlos
Gracie was never defeated and
became legendary in
Brazil.
Carlos Gracie taught his style
of Jiu-Jitsu to his four
younger brothers (Oswaldo,
Gastão, Jorge, and Helio) and
to his older sons (including
Carlson and Carley), and they
in turn taught their brothers,
sons, nephews and
cousins.
After Carlos retired from the
ring, he managed the fight
careers of his brothers and
sons, continuing to challenge
fighters of all styles
throughout the world. This
tradition of open challenge has
been continued by his sons,
grandsons, brothers, nephews,
and students who have
consistently demonstrated the
superiority of the Gracie style
in real fights and no-rules
matches in rings throughout the
world.
