Jiu-Jitsu History
BJJ became known worldwide after the Gracie family proved the effectiveness of BJJ in real street fights at the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) in the 90s. UFC is the most famous Free Fight or MMA (Mixed-Martial-Art) organisation in the world. Since then, BJJ has become compulsory for the army and the executive in different countries, such as the USA, Canada, Brazil, Arab Emirates or Australia etc., and the trend is increasing.
Back to the Roots
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the variant of Kôdôkan Jûdô and was developed by the brothers Carlos and Hélio Gracie in Brazil. Carlos Gracie learned Judo from Mitsuyo Maeda, a student of Kanô Jigorô , and passed it on to his younger brother Hélio. Hélio was physically rather lanky and could not use many of the traditional judo techniques. For this reason, he changed the mechanics and leverage of many techniques, making them more effective and applicable to physically weaker people. Hélio and Carlos taught their children Judo, creating the next generation of fighters and teachers who continued to spread Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and proved the effectiveness of the style time and again in many Vale Tudo challenge matches. In the 1970s, one of Hélio’s sons, Rorion Gracie came to the USA, to pursue a career. He taught the family style in his Garage, and slowly more and more people in the USA became interested in this martial art (Source)
