As previously announced by GRACIEMAG, television talk show host Oprah Winfrey launched a competition to pick a new reality show for her channel Oprah Network TV. Brothers Ryron and Rener Gracie put together a pilot for a program that could popularize Jiu-Jitsu even more and are close to winning the dispute against other proposals being voted on over the internet.

The Gracies’ idea leads the voting with 737,000.

“Every day, hundreds of thousands of kids are terrified to go to school out of fear of bullies. These kids are depressed, have no self-confidence, and unfortunately, many of them are borderline suicidal.

“On our TV show, the Gracie Brothers will sweep the nation’s schools to find the children who are most victimized by bullies. These children will be brought to the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy where, over the period of several weeks, they will be “bullyproofed” from the inside out, and have a greater chance of being successful adults. With our show on the air, we’ll also have a chance to share our methods with thousands of people,” says the teacher.

Talkshow host Oprah Winfrey launched her contest to choose a reality show for her channel, the Oprah Network TV Channel. And Jiu-Jitsu could be the winner.

Brothers Ryron and Rener put together a model for the program that could popularize Jiu-Jitsu even more.

Rener tells it: “Every day, hundreds of thousands of kids are terrified to go to school out of fear of bullies. These kids are depressed, have no self-confidence, and unfortunately, many of them are borderline suicidal. On our TV show, the Gracie Brothers will sweep the nation’s schools to find the children who are most victimized by bullies. These children will be brought to the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy where, over the period of several weeks, they will be “bullyproofed” from the inside out. By empowering the children – physically, mentally, and emotionally – we will give them the confidence to take a stand against bullies so they can take control of their lives. Without confidence, a child has no chance at success, and on this show we are going to make sure that every child gets a fair chance. We have successfully “bullyproofed” thousands of kids over the years and having this show on the air would enable us to share our methods with millions of people.”
