History
Jiu Jitsu arrived in Brazil with the Japanese immigrants who moved to Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century. The Brazilian connection happened when some of the immigrants were helped by Carlos and Helio Gracie's father to acclimatize themselves to life in Brazil. In repayment for this kindness Carlos Gracie was taught Jiu Jjitsu by one of these new arrivals a Jiu Jitsu master. Carlos in turn taught his brother Helio. Together they created the roots of what eventually became known as Gracie Jiu Jitsu. |
