In a statement made to GRACIEMAG.com, Dr. Pedro Valente commented on his friend’s passing.
“Helio Gracie was a man who dedicated his life to fighting for the weak, a true moral principle for human beings. He is an example of a man for life, I always said that. And he managed to prove through Jiu-Jitsu, the Jiu-Jitsu of the weak, that the rule of the strong can be overcome with intelligence. I feel one of the greatest warriors, on of the greatest human beings I’ve even known has just died.”
