This week, two Jiu-Jitsu teachers from the famous Gracie family and devoted to self-defense studies had birthdays.
Creator of the UFC Rorion Gracie, the eldest son of Grandmaster Helio, turned 60 last Wednesday.
JIU-JITSU, THE ART OF SURVIVING THE FIGHT
Now this Monday, Grandmaster Carlos Robson Gracie turned 77 years old with plenty left in the old tank.
As a tribute to the two of them, GRACIEMAG.com looks back on the first fundamental Jiu-Jitsu class Royce Gracie taught the planet, in the wake of the first UFCs.
All basic but effective, as you can see in the following video.
