Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is not just ground fighting. That is sport Jiu-Jitsu. What the narrator is talking about is "self defense" Gracie Jiu-Jitsu which includes stand up grappling, strikes, throws, kicks and weapons defense. Thank you Art of Manliness for posting this and for helping to spread the original message of Jiu-Jitsu!!

Thank you for offering this. Your family has helped a lot of people over the last 80+ years.

I know I'm gonna love this series of videos, but jiu-jitsu's something that I firmly believe can only be truly learned on the mat. You can learn and drill certain techniques at home, but it's vital to have at the VERY LEAST a partner to practice on

In 1914 Mitsuyo Maeda. Maeda was fundamental to the development of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, including through his teaching of Carlos Gracie and others of the Gracie family. Maeda won more than 2,000 professional fights in his career. His accomplishments led to him being called the "toughest man who ever lived" and being referred to as the father of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu kzread.info/dash/bejne/oWp3z5eTmdezm5c.html

I signed up last week in Vista with Locksley and I'm loving the small wins of confidence I'm feeling already. Yes, it's 3:34 in the morning in San Diego and I couldn't sleep, so of course I'm taking in what I'm learning. What a great story! Thank you Gracie family!

Good video, but this should be called “Intro to the Gracie family” or “Intro to Gracie jiu-jitsu”. I say that because people keep forgetting that there were other Brazilians who also trained under Mitsuyo Maeda and other Japanese judoka; Brazilians such as Luiz Franca, Francisco Sa, Ivan Gomes, and many others. About a year after the Masahiko Kimura match Oswaldo Fadda (a student of Franca) challenged the Gracie Academy. His students basically destroyed all of the Gracies’ students. Rener basically makes it sound like all of his great-uncles didn’t really contribute anything, and that Helio was the one testing out his skills, when it fact all of the older brothers competed in challenge matches. George Gracie was considered the best fighter out of all of the brothers, and was the family champion until he and Carlos had a falling out, and was replaced by Helio. Yes, the Gracies are responsible for the spread of “Brazilian jiu-jitsu”, but they are not the only founders or historical figures.

Interesting that Bruce Lee had moved on in his martial arts journey to incorporate grappling and ground fighting. You can see that in Enter the Dragon at the beginning. I think now MMA has moved on as well with all sorts of techniques but I still think Bruce Lee laid the groundwork for much of it. The Gracies definitely followed this same philosophy by incorporating what worked ...discard what didn't.

Maeda Sensei was a Kodokan judoka not a jujutsuka. This is why in 1937 emissaries from the Kodokan offered the Gracie Brothers a black belt in judo. The Kodokan couldn't offer them a black belt in jujutsu. Gracie Combatives provides ground techniques for those who have stand up skills. The Rangers have good stand up skills, so Gracie Combatives was created for them.

That’s a great history and knowledge that you have in your sport. Worth looking into

Beautiful sir. Your family has an amazing history.

Funny how Gracie says "Bruce Lee mode", Bruce Lee and his contemporaries fought challenge matches on roof tops, hard real surfaces not mats or in a ring. Kung Fu utilizes "Chin Na" (interlocking hands), Tai Chi also is a close quarter fighting technique, a lot of these challenge matches were with people that did not know how to fight and could not utilize their style effectively...Bruce Lee recognized this flaw in the 60's and introduced protective gear to engage in full contact fighting. The first UFC matches were exciting because it was more true to life...there were no weight classifications, rounds or time limits...it showed the weaknesses of the practitioners rather than the style they represented. This is before it became a money hungry business. Finally I believe Bruce Lee was the most well rounded fighter because he did not allow himself to be trapped by one style, he saw the universal reality of all styles and schools of thought of every Martial Art..if you look at all of his films even the episodes of "Longstreet" he explains his philosophy for training and the fighting arts. Bruce Lee was unique and everyone wanted to be like him.

Thank you; I'm 81 year old DUI attorney , still run mile a night and loved my 5 years training with Fabio Santos in San Diego. One funny story if you allow it: Some 30+ years ago we were sitting in the class waiting for it to start , all in a row. Fabio on the far end furthest from the door. In walks a smiling,... huge,... tall but wash board stomach Russian Kid. Very strong. I was a green belt, but not one to attend the per-motions very often and 20 years before that trained very hard in other disciplines. _________________________________________________________This young man, I'm guessing 29ish years old... solid mussel Som-Bo (Russian Judo) player. He points at Fabio sitting on his knees and says ..." I challenge your instructor.".... We all looked at each other. Now Fabio is an older short-ish guy, but competes, and a Surfer, even at his age... and he just looked straight ahead. The protocol is that this guy had to beat Fabio's black belts first,... but unfortunately for Fabio, only 2 of his new very small black belts were there and this giant (who definitely knew B- Ji-jitsu ) towered over them and beat them rather handily;...…. for a minute (seemed like a thousand years ) when this giant looked at Fabio again and no one raised their hand,.... so I raised my hand "very sheepishly" and nervous, because I was only a green belt, 5-11 tall, and not a body builder type so I barely raised my hand,... and not very hi...half hoping Fabio would not see it._________________________________________________________________________________To my amazement Fabio nodded his head,... so I jumped up, smiled at this giant, who towered over me, and tried some of the basics which he quickly countered,... still smiling I remembered reading an old Japanese out of print Ji-jitsu book (I'm a DUI legal researcher so I read all day long & every thing,) to throw him off ... with my intentions... I grabbed his right shoulder side gee by his right side of his neck, deep, and tried to get a cross chock with my other hand,... which he quickly blocked my left hand,... so I immediately grabbed his right side of his neck gee with my left hand,... deep behind his neck,... and with my righthand grabbed his right side of his gee deep back around his neck and then...________________________________________________________________________Threw my body over twisting under him,... (my legs were powerful: 1/2 squatted 160 lbs and my submitting hold is my scissor hold around players waists) but this time I double wrapped my legs around my cross chock with my hands and his head turned bright red and tapped out.________________________________________________________________________________Fabio yelled "Ellis...that no B. jijitsu!!!!!! True story.

This "history" ignores many things. One, Helio Gracie's brother George was a better competitor; two, the same style of Jiu-Jitsu, the Kansai newaza heavy style developed by Mataemon Tanabe, was used by Oswaldo Fadda's gym to out technique the Gracie Academy, easily defeating them with leg locks; three, Helio Gracie did not develop leverage for our style of Jiu-Jitsu, it had already been there, this can be seen as the father of our Jiu-Jitsu, Mataemon Tanabe, developed ground technique he used to beat many other larger and stronger Jiu-Jitsu competitors, Sumo, and Judoka using superior ground technique. Some of his student's, who had a slight build like him, won hundreds of challenge matches by submission, defeating people often 25 to 100 pounds heavier, including strongmen and catch wrestlers.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Basically Just Judo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu looks just like Judo, because it is Basically Just Judo. When Mitsuyo Maeda, a.k.a. "Conde Koma", began teaching Carlos Gracie in Belem do Para, Brazil in 1917, he was teaching Jigoro Kano's Jiu-Jitsu direct from the Kodokan in Japan. The name "Judo" was not popularized until 1925. Mitsuyo Maeda was a Kodokan Judo instructor whose specialty was ground fighting (newaza). This type of ground-only fighting is often referred to as Kosen Judo, or High School Judo, because it was popularized in Japanese High Schools as a form of interscholastic wrestling. Kosen Judo rules allowed direct transition to newaza, enabling scenarios where one less skilled competitor could drag the other down to the ground (a tactic now known as "pulling-guard" in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu). There is absolutely no question that the Gracie family demonstrated great skill and marketing acumen by promoting "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu" or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the masses. Helio Gracie's loss to Kodokan Judoka Masahiko Kimura was advertised as a "moral victory". More importantly, the Gracies sponsored the original Ultimate Fighting Championships when the world was begging for a professional combat sport with more depth than Boxing and more realism than the WWF. However, there is now a generation of Jiu-Jitsu students who only know half the story. Worse yet, they are often paying enormous prices for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu name only to learn a subset of Jigoro Kano's original Jiu-Jitsu techniques and teaching methods. The Judo world has not been without fault too. High ranking judoka often looked down on the new popular MMA world due to Judo's Olympic status. As a result, most Judo schools have been over-emphasizing the throwing techniques within Judo due to pressure from the International Olympic Comittee to increase ratings on TV for the brief moments when Olympic Judo would receive air time. Similarly, there is a generation of Jiu-Jitsu students, and now instructors, who incorrectly think Judo is nothing but a standing sport. Fortunately, the phenomenal success of Ronda Rousey, 2008 Olympic Judo Bronze Medalist and UFC / MMA Champion has brought attention back to the accurate history of Judo and its rightful place in the Jiu-Jitsu grappling world.

Absolutely love this

VERY informative! Thank you so much for making this video!! 😁✌🏽

Google "non-Gracie lineage." Maeda taught many more than Carlos Gracie, and never taught Helio. Just sayin'. Gracie does not equal all of BJJ, they just are the most prominent because they did more to spread the art and sell it to the world.

If you're the giant it just makes it that much easier for you. You can also diffuse fights without the violence.

You prepare to sit on a lot of people. Big guy BJJ consists entirely of crushing the breath out of people.

It's good to be strong though because you'll go against stronger opponents with good technique

I think the ultimate fighter will have a combination of deadly standup fighting techniques (Muay Thai/Wing Chun/Boxing) and groundbased submission like BJJ

Wing Chun hahahaha get the fuck out

It's really gotten around! I'm from Ireland and taking classes ✌

Very good approach to getting me interested. Yeah, and I took Army Combatives. Pretty amazing techniques.

Helio also go destroyed by a name Masahiko Kimura, and now bjj has added the kimura into their martial art

You can only fight one man at a time on the ground

Fighting is a last resource against creeps in the night and troublemakers in bars and all. Thats why guns and law exist.

Wow Carlos Gracie hate here. I thought it was the Carlos line that took BJJ to the US?

Bless up very inspiring story n history goin to take In as much as I can 🙏

great story...thanks for sharing

All this re - wording is ridiculous, Jijaro Kano had already invented all those techniques. Count Koma has old self defense videos demonstrating the same stuff Helio claimed to "invent".

Kano took what he had learned from 2 jujitsu schools and put them together to form judo

If you are one guy in a bar practicing BBJ good luck when his friends jump in.

Throw in some Muay Thai for multiple opponents

I'm going to be 65 a week from tomorrow. I'm looking into taking Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I have no martial arts experience. I work out 35 minutes every day by doing what I think is moderate cardiovascular exercise on a skier machine. I don't take it easy until the last 5 minutes when I cool down. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu make a great addition to my workout. I would appreciate any imput you have in my situation. Thanks for this video.

Art of Manliness, Especially Captain/Master/Instructor Rener Gracie I just joined Jiu-Jitsu. Tomorrow will be my first day.

The truth about '93 UFC you can find on You Tube in a interview with Bill Walace

Who was "that japanese guy"? Just some dude at the bar who happened to start Jiu Jitsu on a drunken night out?

Such a great history

I'm doing Jui Jitsu and this video helped a lot
