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.
