For those of you who don't know, the Gracie family took an art known as Jiu Jitsu from the east (Japan, China) and made it their own. Called it Gracie Jiu Jitsu, better known as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This is two of them sparring. Might wanna skip the boring "self defense" part, they spar at about half way though.
that looks like a great martial art because you can protect yourself without necessarily hurting the opponent
ReplyDeleteThey're so talented! I wish I had the dedication to become so good at a martial art.
ReplyDeleteThat's gotta take a bit of talent. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends is following Sumo. This is also interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat video, I've pretty much grown up around mixed martial arts, and can appreciate some quality jiu jitsu.
ReplyDeleteJiu jitsu, in particular GJJ, is something I've wanted to try for a while. I prefer Isshinryu karate, though.
ReplyDeleteI had a white belt with two stripes, when I was in high school. Stopped attending later though.
ReplyDeletestill think judo is cooler
ReplyDeletethe Gracie family are all legit
ReplyDeleteNeed vid, I have always been greatly interested in various martial arts styles.
ReplyDeleteI love Jiu Jitsu...that's one thing UFC has done, really brought it into the limelight for the general public. The actual Jiu Jitsu tournaments still might be small fare, but it's good to see JJ fighters in MMA events
