About me:
GRACIEACADEMY.COM

The Official Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy is located at 3515 Artesia Blvd., Torrance Ca, 90504

When Rorion Gracie and his brothers first began revealing the secrets of their family art of Jiu-Jitsu, they taught anywhere they could throw down a mat. Known as the "garage days" by those early students who fondly remember grappling in makeshift classrooms cobbled together in spare bedrooms and empty car garages, it was a period of growth and experimentation for Rorion and his family. During this intial phase, the Gracies established their curriculum and teaching methods, adapting them to best meet the needs of their students. It Wasn't long, however, before the demand for Jiu-Jitsu instruction by Rorion mushroomed beyond his cottage-industry facilities. In order to accommodate the expanding list of applicants pleading for instruction, he began to design what was to be the first American Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy. So it was August of 1990, Rorion officially opened the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy at 1951 West Carson Street in Torrance California. The world of martial arts would never be the same again. Today the Gracie Academy is more than 15,000+ square foot training center, featuring spacious, well designed instruction rooms, complete dressing facilities for men and women.

Could you guys do like a video on how to sink the rear naked choke on a resisting person? One of the most symbolic submissions of BJJ yet I can't seem to sink it on a resisting opponent.

who said gracie jiu-jitsu doesn't work on multiple attackers. just the other night,i was ambushed by 300 "brazilian jiu-jitsu" guys. As they closed in to seal my doom,the leader asked me - "Do you have any last words?" Without hesitation I replied "What would Grand master Helio do?". In an instant,all 300 of em found one excuse after another as to why jumping me would not be such a great idea.

Hello Grandmaster Rorion.I'm stopping by to give credit where it is due!

Take note haters- For all you "brazilian jiu-jitsu" men out there-If you somehow get lucky during training and pull off a submission that works..You're not using "brazilian jiu-jitsu" dummy! You've just won using Gracie jiu-jitsu.
You better recognize the difference or i'll patiently sit parked across the street from your house,wait for you to step off your porch and when you think its safe to look in my direction,thats when I'll take you down Ralek style and slap you silly til you scream "Rorion for president!"
