Rolls Gracie left us nearly three decades ago, but his legacy remains in practically all the big Jiu-Jitsu academies around the world.
The young master – son of Carlos reared by Helio – was fundamental in the apprenticeship of Carlos Gracie Jr, Rickson and Royler Gracie, Romero Jacaré, Maurição Gomes, Alvaro Romano, among others who still live and breathe Jiu-Jitsu to this day.
Check out the Gracie’s style in this vale-tudo bout against karate stylist in the 1970s. It’s not just an homage to Rolls, but to you practitioners.
Awesome! Rolls Gracie is one of the best ever!
My uncle Rolls Gracie had a great personality!!
