Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Basics During the early 1930s Helio Gracie, the mastermind of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, became Brazils first fighting legend. His first-born son, Rorion, began practicing this method of self-defense at the age of 2. In the late 70s, after graduating Law School at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rorion decided to bring his familys techniques to the United States. In 1993, Rorion Gracie created the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) with the objective of answering the age old question: Which martial art was the most effective for a real street fight ? Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was the answer when his brother Royce defeated representatives of Karate, Kung Fu, Savate, Wrestling, Boxing, Kick-boxing, among others in the no-holds-barred arena.
