Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
For generations, dedicated practitioners of the marital arts believed their individual system was the best form of combat.
In 1993, Rorion Gracie created the "Ultimate Fighting Championship," a no-holds-barred tournament that pitted one style against another. The revolutionary concept promoted fights with no rules and no time limit. It immediately became the most controversial event in martial arts history. Not only did this event destroy the illusion of effectiveness that surrounded the martial arts community, but also, more importantly, it established the undeniable superiority of one style- GRACIE JIU-JITSU.
