there is deep loss here. deep. this was a great great man, very wise beyond this world. i believe if you choose to try to live a full, healthy, good life, it would be best to follow the gracies. especially helio's teachings. and his brothers. they are wise, wise people. very genuine, good family. we should all wish to be half the person he was.

R.I.P. helio gracie, grandfather, father, son, brother, and a great man.

i seriously like how when he refers to fake black belts he says those people "use" their black belts. because fake balck belts have to wield that belt to intimidate people. on the otherhand, real black belts don't even speak of their rank or skill. they merely use their knowledge when the time comes. a black belt is the result of hard training, not the goal.

Jui-Jutsu Brasileiro! Simplesmente, o melhor do mundo particado pelos melhores do mundo.

Saudades do grande mestre HÉLIO GRACIE,

caemorera, engraçado você observar isso, também reparei..... prova de que os americanos estão dando mais valor aos ensinamentos do samurai.

[caemorera]

é um absurdo os comentários serem quase que em sua totalidade em inglês. Isso prova mais uma vez que os brasileiros não conhecem quem representa nosso país la fora. Não só no meio das artes marciais, mas em qualquer área.

Yeah, the greatest of all time, period. Not even worthy of discussion. I respect Bruce Lee but Im sorry Helio Gracie developed a system that worked in a real fight that could be effective for anyone. It really is a system where the small guy can beat the big guy in a fight.

Helio you are a legend and thank you for creating this incredible self defence system

[Calfullanas]

greatest of all time
