Gracie Humaita

Highly influential in the development of Gracie Jiu Jitsu was Helio Gracie. All the Gracie's were slight of frame, but Helio was particularly small and frail. Because of his small stature, Helio could not use many of the Japanese moves that were based on power and speed, so he developed new leverages and new ways of doing moves. Helio turned out to be a brilliant innovator, and the style he developed proved to be victorious against all others, regardless of size. For the next seventy-five years, the Gracie family dedicated themselves to the preservation and dissemination of this great fighting style - Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
