Helio Gracie is a unique and fascinating practitioner who by unexpected circumstances began teaching students and ultimately created his own school that produced some of the best fighters in the world. Including his son Rorion who is featured in this book (I'll let you dive deeper into their story).Gracie Jiu-Jitsu turned the martial arts world upside down when Royce Gracie won the first two Ultimate Fighting Championships (openweight, single-elimination, no time limit, no rules) by defeating martial artists from Kenpo, Kickboxing, Karate, Western boxing, Shoot fighting, Wrestling, etc. And with many outweighing him by up to 60+ pounds. And shocking to so many, including the defeated, winning many fights from his back.These eye-opening victories ultimately moved martial arts forward by creating 'mixed martial arts', the combination of stand-up and ground-fighting techniques. This was a quantum leap in the evolution of hand-to-hand combat.Royce was the first Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner that America had ever seen and was the first inductee to the UFC Hall of Fame in 2003.Yet most of you know that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu produced (who many experts believe to be) the greatest pound for pound martial artist ever, Royce's older brother Rickson.
