At the time, Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Brazil. In 1925, after moving to Rio de Janeiro, Carlos and his brothers opened the first Academy of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in the Flamengo area of the city. Maeda in return for the help offered to teach Gastão’s son Carlos the art of Jiu-Jitsu in return for all the help from Gastão. Gastão was a political figure in the State and used his influence to help Maeda and the Japanese colony. He became close friends with Gastão Gracie, the grandson of George Gracie. In addition to his political skills, Maeda happened to be a former champion in the Japanese art of Jiu-Jitsu, and he began teaching lessons in Brazil, hoping to pass on the tradition. The Japanese government was eager to form a colony in Brazil, and Maeda was there to help the colony prosper. In the early 1900s a Japanese man named Mitsuyo Maeda moved to the same area. There he and his family lived for many years. He would need an entire staff with a training camp, and a different nutrional plan that would probably better him.īut if you take him the exact same way he was yesterday ? He'd probably lose to a top 10 of his weight class (143 lbs) who are actually Holloway, Caceres and Aldo, or the lower weight class of 135 lbs with Dillishaw, Barao and Dobson.In 1801 a Scottish immigrant by the name of George Gracie moved to the state of Para in northeastern Brazil. To get closer to your point, if you take Helio Gracie with the shape, height and weight he had, imagine him in the octadon or in Bellator. Would today's fighter do well during Helio's time considering that 99% of fighters had no knowledge of jiu jitsu ?

But since his purpose was to survive any much bigger opponent, Helio considered a win any fight where he just stalled, defended or escape without having to submit.Īs of today, I dont know how to answer your point since the ruleset system for mma has completely changed compared to Helio's era. He had his losses and wins, but reading from his biography and watching documentaries, most fighters who met with him stated basically about the same thing: hard to sub, or knockout.
