Do you know the story of how the Gracies came to the USA and the whole UFC, MMA and Gracie Ju-jitsu got rolling here. Chuck and Bob Wall visted the Gracie family and family in Rio, Brazil and experienced the training first hand and were impressed so much that Chuck wanted his Black Belts in the UFAF to learn the system. In 1988 they flew to Las Vegas and taught us for the first time. That was the begginin. Hope you enjoy this histiric video clip I took of the intro and some of the training, Keep in mind the camera quality back then wasn’t as great as now.

Royce Gracie is currently in Kuwait right now for a two day training session at Sidekick Academy. [YouTube]
