ABOUT US
OUR HISTORY
First in line was Mitsuyo Maeda, the Japanese master whose unmatched skill brought the gentle art of Jiu-Jitsu to Brazil. Then came Carlos Gracie Sr., Maeda’s first student in Brazil and the very first Gracie to embrace the art. Next was Hélio Gracie, Carlos’ younger brother and the most formidable Gracie fighter of his generation. Following him was Rolls Gracie, a true innovator who reshaped Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and embodied its evolving philosophy. And finally, Carlos Gracie Jr., founder of Gracie Barra and the visionary behind the JIU-JITSU FOR EVERYONE® movement. This tradition of honoring our great Masters and practitioners is more than a tribute it’s a reflection of our gratitude and a wellspring of inspiration, from which we continue to learn and grow.
