[ramrod20042000]

Helio Gracie what a incredible man! To develop your own Martial Art from watching for 2 years. Then teaching his sons(Rorion). Who brought the art to America. With the UFC and teaching out of his garage. Rorion then teaching his sons Rener and Ryron. Who are fantastic instructors of the art. At a great gym in Califonia.

[doctorstoppage]

THE 4 OF YOU WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO WILL GET CHOKED TO SLEEP.

[mrdubcrazy]

@doctorstoppage Change the record man! Choke this choke that - like Gracie BJJ has a monopoly on the word or something!

Go choke the chicken!

[doctorstoppage]

@mrdubcrazy your wife likes to be choked. if you dont like GJJ videos, dont watch. Go back to playing with your barbies. If you're feeling tough im in Northern California. cupcake!

[murphypaz]

@doctorstoppage I'm in Northern Cali.. Where do you train? I'm looking for places to train in the area.. I'm from Lodi.

[doctorstoppage]

IF THEY HAD A COMPETITION TO SEE WHO HAS THE MOST PERFECT JIU JITSU SCHOOL IN THE WORLD, THE GRACIE ACADEMY WOULD GET 1ST, 2ND, & 3RD PLACE.

[gabeisdamncool]

Kinda sad how they refuse to give judo any credit

[doctorstoppage]

@gabeisdamncool jiu jitsu comes from judo so it does get some respect.

[Tobelli]

@gabeisdamncool indeed

[mforcedale]

love that pokemon music in the background

[dunnboyt]

awesome video

[The2ladybug]

Would you guys mind making a video or some kind of list that has quotes and phrases that you find insperational? you guys say AMAZING insperational things on every video but i would love to hear where yall find insperation and the will 2 keep trying. I write insperational quotes down because i tend to get down and out sometimes when im having trouble learning something because i am a slow learner, so thank you guys for all you say and do. YOU GUYS ROCK!!

[Basszilla2002]

4 people got their ass handed to them by Gracie Jiu Jitsu

[beatjugglez]

4 people dont train jiu jitsu...

[takidabossen]

awsome details!!!!! alot of interesting things around helio vs kimura fight i didn't know :) 

[SurferKenTV3]

Watch the entire video! Yes, it's nearly 15 minutes long...but you'll thank me later. Thx Gracie Academy.

[NetLookCARTV]

They should make a movie with all these great stories.

[VoluptuousB]

Wow those are some interesting stories.

[Hurtn4aSquirtn11]

Fantastic great to see someone so passionate about there family history, Kind of reminds me of how much I start talking when I get asked about Gracie Jiu Jitsu from someone who knows nothing about it.

[jnguyen06]

Is Rorion wearing shoes in this video?

[weian87]

the kimura story was really captivating!

[nmr20067]

Rorion Gracie is the man. I remember back in the early 90s he was the first Gracie to come out and challenge ANYONE who wanted to fight him to the death head up, no rules. And he even got Royce to challenge Mike Tyson who never dared to respond.

[420headband]

I dont know who to believe about the weight difference.

Kimura describes the event as follows:

"20,000 people came to see the bout including President of Brazil. Helio was 180cm and 80 kg." Thats from Helio's wiki and on Masahiko Kimura's wiki it says he is 85kg. 11 lbs is not that big of a difference.

[Bonnie121209]

@420headband This is coming from Rorion Gracie.....DUH...not some person who thinks they know the facts on wiki...jeez!

[Bonnie121209]

@420headband This is coming from Rorion Gracie.....DUH...not some person who thinks they know the facts on wiki...jeez!

[420headband]

@Bonnie121209 yea but the gracies are well... not liars... but they have so much pride they exaggerate the facts a bit... dont act so condescending, you sound so nieve.

[carlsongracieteam]

@420headband kimura was 220, and helio was 140, that is an 80 pound difference, look up the old newspaper articles.

[chilidog1001]

@carlsongracieteam have you seen the video! at that size helio could not have been 140 in fact they actually look the same size with a slight weight difference and helio was much taller than him. the size difference is nothing

[marineguy4eva]

@420headband I dont know man, its really hard for me to believe that Helio was almost 5'11 and 176 lbs. That would mean that he is almost 4 inches taller than Kimura which is obviously not true.

[chilidog1001]

@marineguy4eva kimura was shorter than helio! watch their fight, it is so clear that their size is nothing like the gracie's said it was

[JMoore4291]

@chilidog1001 who cares who was taller/shorter, thats why they have weight classes not height classes

[mortylad]

@420headband .... 11lbs .... sooo you think helio was a heavyweight then do you ....... if helio was 140lbs then he couldnt be any where near the 200lbs mark ,., fucknuggart

[420headband]

@mortylad Haha What. Are you arguing with Kimura?

[evilkiller65]

SCOTLAND SCOTLAND SCOTLAND FTW!!!!

[mossman94086]

In my speech class, I gave a ten minute speech on the history of Gracie Jiu Jitsu...Dead On, almost verbatim!!

[chilidog1001]

let meee tell you something about "gracie jiu-jitsu" what they teach is already in judo and helio gracie did not modify any technique he only teaches what he knows...disagree? please tell me a technique from judo that was modified because you cant nothing was modified for a smaller person

[oregonghostwave]

@chilidog1001 Totally, uh d u d e, it was not great technique that let a 145lb guy hold off a world champion heavyweight for 13 minutes. And you are also right he only taught what he knew. You should go teach people what you don't know. Wait for it. Yes, you just did!

[chilidog1001]

@oregonghostwave great technique doesnt save you from submissions its defending and knowing when its coming, good technique only finishes the fight...and my point is helio did not modify and techniques of judo btw kimura already won that fight when he had the triangle and helio passed out but unfortunately nobody noticed

[Bonnie121209]

@chilidog1001 it shows you obvious don't know anything about Gracie Jiu Jitsu ...why do you ask one of the Gracie's directly?

[chilidog1001]

@Bonnie121209 what the hell are they guna say? there just guna say that there grandfather is a hero and deserves credit for such an effective fighting system when the fighting system they teach is judo

[SamuraiTankyuusha]

DAAAARN!!!!!! HAHAAAA! WWow... That is some crazy stuff! When this back pain is over I am gonna have so much insperation to train on! THank You!!!!

[SamuraiTankyuusha]

@SamuraiTankyuusha inspiration*

[brozac1011]

Did kimura do judo or traditional jiu jitsu

[uckushtar]

@brozac1011

Judo, and a few different styles of Karate

[chilidog1001]

@brozac1011 no no just judo and sumo..no karate

[barrettokarate]

@brozac1011 Kimura never trained traditional ju-jitsu, only judo, just like Mitsuyo Maeda the man who taught Carlos Gracie. Maeda was a 4th degree black belt in judo at the time he taught Gracie and all his other Brazilian students.

Prior to 1925 many judoka used to refer to judo as ju-jitsu (or jiu-jitsu) or Kano ju-jitsu (after judo's founder Jigoro Kano). That's more than likely why its called Gracie jiu-jitsu and not Gracie judo.

[KJGould]

@barrettokarate Except it was yet to be called Judo at that time (even though that's what it was), and was known as Kano Jujitsu instead. Maeda also learned Catch Wrestling in America and Europe as well as bits of Savate and Boxing before settling in Brazil to teach his grappling system to Carlos Gracie. Renzo Gracie writes about this in his book. Also Rorion didn't mention that Kimura broke his father Helio's arm with the bent armlock now known as a Kimura, or Ude Garami in Judo.

[GuruBreed]

cool history lesson

[phillfamous]

sooo cool. i feel like i just finished a good book...i feel fufilled and peaceful. very, very cool

[svtshorty]

Awesome stuff!

[kommisar]

This was nice. Seems incomplete though. Is there more?

Also, did Helio ever go to Japan to teach after Kimura invited him?

[Nola213]

Great Stuff! Thank you very much for making and uploading this video.

Respect to Rorion and his father, and the entire Gracie Family. Wish I could visit.

[disturbed1316]

Great video! The museum has a lot of interesting items in there, including a Royce Gracie UFC action figure that was mis-labeled as "Kimbo Slice" LOL!!

It truly is a great place to see in person , highly recommended!!!

[jt7887]

Helio was frail?

[iamgodan]

Fantastic piece Rorion!

[nubemuffin]

[xhectichectorx]

*love

[xhectichectorx]

this was amazing...i would to see this tour in person

[websslinger]

What an awesome and legendary family to a part of. If I did a "historical" presentation like that, it go something like this:

"This here was my Uncle Larry who worked part time at the Jiffy Lube. Now his third wife, Betty, she was arrested back in 82 for given $5.00 hand-jobs behind Shacker's Bar & Grill. My Cousin Willy, he became a bit of a celebrity down in Montgomery when he got caught molestin' a cat at the local church...."

[JULIOKILLZ]

@websslinger Is Betty still giving $5 hand jobs? What a deal!

[SlugDropsonheads]

@websslinger AHAHAHH epic comment!

[JMoore4291]

@websslinger ha, damn man, thats some pretty historic people you have in your family

[TheGuanche88]

@websslinger

Nice one dude :D

[holydiver420]

@websslinger Betty was a legend in her own right

[waldomarek]

so the gracies originally were scottish O_O never expected that.

[rhdadrian]

WOW that was alot of great info i've never heard before, better not see any dislikes for this truthful history lesson :)

[sn1kzZe]

truly amazing the history of gracie and he presents it so well, i really love the gracie family, so down to earth.

[GroundFighterMMA]

Respect!

[MrMZaccone]

I was lucky enough, many years ago to hear Helio tell many of these same stories in person. It's nice to hear them again and told exactly the same way by his eldest

son.

[EPR89]

That must have been the qickest 14 minutes and 33 seconds off my life. Truly fascinating stories.

[Slaylimpbizkit]

I would love to see the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy museum wow
