Fact: 90% of all attacks end up on the ground. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a submission grappling art that was designed to ensure that students could defend themselves in a real attack.
It is without question,
the worlds most tested,
and effective martial
art. No matter what your age or physical condition, you will learn how to use leverage and technique to successfully defend yourself. You don’t have to be in great shape, and you don’t have to be big and strong to expect any benefits. That is why Jiu-Jitsu is so effective; it is designed to give you immediate results, even after your first lesson!

In 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.
