Gracie Jiu Jitsu for life. I praise the road Helio has walked and lead. This man and his theories has changed my life forever. I continue to teach kids and my nephews and nieces self defense part-time to honour him and Bruce Lee's legacies. I believe it's every human's right to feel comfortable anywhere he or she wishes to walk through or into knowing they can defend themselves without having to prove it. Thank you Grandmaster Helio. You will never be forgotten.
Que família incrível... Muito raro no mundo até hoje, existir outra família tão numerosa, treinando e ensinando a arte da família e melhor ainda , uma família trabalhando todos no mesmo como empresários , transformando o jiujitsu Gracie numa marca gigante e em várias empresas ... Fazendo com que todos os Gracie tivessem uma oportunidade de puder ter ( boa vida ) ... Puxa isso sim , é ser visionário na época e um excelente líder de família...
Assisti ao vídeo na íntegra. Um exemplo de abnegação, respeito, legado e persistência para provar a superioridade de sua arte. Brazilian Gracie Jiu-Jitsu motivo de honra à nós brasileiros. R.I.P. Hélio Gracie.
It seems that no one (not even in this documentary) recognizes the three middle brothers; Oswaldo, Gastao Jr., and George's contributions to the family, except for the site BJJ Heroes. All of the brothers fought, and George was considered the best fighter out of all the brothers. There's a video from a Gracie seminar from 1990, where Rorion Gracie gives credit to all five brothers for the development of Gracie jiu-jitsu, but it seems that after the creation of the UFC the middle brothers all but faded from the family's history.
I don't speak Portuguese or understand them, but from what I see it's all about passion. Helio Gracie is very passionate man and he loves on what he does. Grappling art which is called Jujitsu from Japan and landed in Brazil, now knows as Brazilian Jiu-jitsu( or sometimes refer as Gracie Jiu-jitsu) after a little bit of modification. He lives with the art, promoting the art in every competition he goes. Now it's a global phenomenal and it's an essence in MMA. Helio Gracie lives as a Legend.
Watching him roll with Rorion at the end, and then Rorion kiss him on the cheek brought a tear to my eye. To have such a long and fruitful relationship with your father must be priceless!!
Toda a homenagem ao grande mestre Hélio Gracie é pouca. Tenho 44 anos, nunca fui lutador, mas ele é um grande exemplo para mim. Quem sabe ainda não treino Jiu-jitsu Gracie e assim lhe presto uma humilde homenagem. Saudações e parabéns para toda essa nobre família.
Several years ago an adjunct professor from some college in either Alabama or Georgia did an article for Black Belt Magazine. He was a brown belt in both judo & BJJ & wanted to find out what percentage of street altercations do indeed end up on the ground. He & several assistants looked at 300 videos of street fights, & made note of several statistics. Ex: % of fights where both went to the ground, % of fights where only one went to the ground, % of KOs, % of submissions, etc. Very good article.
I love this sport. It really is the ultimate ground fighting system. Thanks Helio for being such a badass that you inspired people all over the world to be badass too. And thanks Relson for your academy in AZ where I learned so much.
I never understood the photograph of the flying double side kick that is so often used in stories illustrating the Gracie history. Does anyone have an explanation for this?
ESSSAS PARTES EM QUE ELE FALA NUMA ENTREVISTA SÃO DO PROGRAMA FEEL GOOD DO SPORTV DE 1997 - ESSA ENTREVISTA FICOU UNS TEMPOS NO RU-vid MAS SUMIU...ALGUÉM PODIA REPOSTÁ-LA NA ÍNTEGRA!
Even though I dont speak Portugese, I still liked the biography none of the less, also I've gotten to understand what this great man did for ju-jitsu, its incredible how he kept up with the times, I wish I could've met him.
Honestly, I think that Gracie jiu jitsu is the coolest art ever i always loved it so long as I can remember. I don't like mma so much but i love the art of Gracie jiu jitsu.
Very inspiring. Gracie Jiu Jitsu will always be my favourite martial art and I still believe, contrary to popular belief that wrestling is the best, Jiu Jitsu was and is the best.
If you cried. You have a warrior in you. So don't let all the deterrents may it be in human forms or situations back you down. Have a winning spirit and always a loving spirit.
Actually, Judo is the "modern version" of Jiu Jitsu. BJJ is in fact derived from the Jiu Jitsu Count Koma brought with him to Brazil, which was developed by Grandmasters Carlos and Hélio Gracie. Jujitsu is actually another branch of Jiu Jitsu, a variant of some sort.
...because he was the first one to advocate the individual over style of martial arts, because he saw the inherent weakness in dedicating yourself to one style, promoted ground grappling as necessary to any fighter's arsenal...and he had a good knowledge of it when the only other people doing it were the japanese and the gracies were just starting. Pioneer doesn't mean fully-fleshed out and complete.
Engraçado como eles não falam nada dos Faddas e o Hélio Faddas. O Jiu Jitsu no Brasil tem apenas 104 anos...Muito pouco tempo de história, porém os grandes gêneos da história do Ju-Jutsu sem dúvida é o Jigoro Kano, que fez a reforma de mobilização que logo depois deu influência a Mitsu Maeda no Belém do Pará no Brasil. Que o Jiu jitsu no Brasil seja um esporte de não violência em q o maior desafio é vencer à própria ignorância.
Helio realmente foi um grande lutador. Documentário muito bom, apesar das forçadinhas de barra em relação ao peso do Kimura e do hélio, quem faz uma pesquisa seria e imparcial vai descobrir isso, inclusive sobre as declarações do Kimura.
