Jiu-Jitsu history

Grappling has a rich history that dates back to ancient Greece, and in the late 19th century, a remarkable figure named Mitsuyo Maeda traveled the world, showcasing the effectiveness of his fighting art. Maeda eventually settled in Brazil, where he taught Jiu-Jitsu to the Gracie family. Carlos and Helio Gracie, in turn, refined and adapted the techniques to suit their own bodies, establishing the Jiu-Jitsu we know today. Read more about the history of Jiu-Jitsu here.

Jiu-Jitsu vs. other martial arts

The Gracie family was determined to demonstrate the superiority of Jiu-Jitsu as a fighting art. Royce Gracie, son of Helio Gracie, entered the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), defeating opponents significantly larger than himself. This impressive achievement solidified the effectiveness of Jiu-Jitsu, proving that size and strength are not the only determining factors in combat.
