Chuck Norris and the Gracie family in the USA / Publicity photo
Chuck Norris paid a visit to the Gracie family in Rio de Janeiro back in 1980, and after a training session was impressed by Jiu-Jitsu. The star of “Braddock” liked the gentle art so much that he encouraged his students to learn the system.
In the following video-relic, shot in 1988, Chuck Norris introduces the family with the most Jiu-Jitsu tradition to the world. Watch this historic piece of documentation and appreciate the moves.
