How the Gracie Family Shaped Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as We Know It

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s story is one of family, innovation, and self-improvement. It all began with a young Carlos Gracie, who learned Jiu-Jitsu from a visiting Japanese master, Mitsuyo Maeda. Carlos, along with his brothers, adapted the techniques to their physiques, focusing on ground fighting and submissions. Their success in overcoming larger opponents established their Gracie Jiu-Jitsu as a distinct style, emphasizing leverage and technique over strength. The Gracies not only revolutionized self-defense but also built a legacy of sharing their knowledge and fostering a community built on respect and growth. Today, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu thrives worldwide, a testament to the Gracie family’s dedication and the empowering nature of the “gentle art.
