The History of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu                                                                               

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Fort Collins, Gracie Jiu Jitsu Loveland, Brazilain Jiu Jitsu Fort Collins, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu LovelandIn 1914, a Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Judo master named Mitsuyo Maeda, (AKA Count Koma) stopped in Brazil during his World Judo tour. Maeda decided to prolong his stay and help a Japanese colony settle in the North of Brazil. A Brazilian diplomat named Gastão Gracie helped the colony with land and cattle. In return Koma, went against the Japanese tradition and volunteered to teach real Jiu-Jitsu to a non-Japanese, Gastão's son Carlos. Carlos, who was the oldest of five brothers, became so fascinated with Maeda’s techniques that in 1925 he opened the first Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Riode Janeiro, Brazil. Helio, Carlos’ youngest brother, in spite of his small frame and weight of only 140 pounds, he became the mastermind behind the development of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, adapting the techniques of Japanese Jiu-Jitsu so that they depended entirely upon leverage, rather than strength. That is how he developed this style of Jiu-Jitsu. Though Gracie Jiu-Jitsu descended from the ancient Japanese style, the differences are quite apparent. Many of the Japanese facets of the art, which depend on physical prowess and stiff motion, were tossed aside, leaving only pure technique.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was made famous by Royce Gracie when he won the first 3 UFC's, defeating opponents of that were masters of various martial arts that routinely outweighed him by over 50lbs- using solely the techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Since that time, it has come to be known that training in Jiu Jitsu is absolutely essential to succeeding in MMA competition.
