Gracie Barra Company is a global organization formed by more than 100 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools that has the mission of training body, mind and spirit through the highest level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction as a means for individual development and the strengthening of the family spirit, going beyond the competitive realm. Headed by Carlos Gracie Jnr. Schools in the UK headed by Black Belts Roger Gracie, Braulio Estima and Lucio Rodrigues among others.

Carlos Gracie Jr. is the founder and head instructor of the Gracie Barra Academy, the largest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in the world, located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Gracie Barra's black belts include numerous world class instructors and athletes.

At the heart of the Gracie Barra mission statement is the goal of training both the body and spirit, going beyond the 'winning-losing' or 'contest' philosophy present in other martial arts. Instead, Carlos Gracie Jr. emphasizes what he calls the fundamental principle of Jiu-Jitsu: "Minimum effort for maximum efficiency," a method of utilizing strength through gentleness, an expression exemplifying both the mental and physical aspects of Jiu-Jitsu. In Carlos' opinion, Jiu-Jitsu is a method of education that can be used to foster one's personal development. Carlos considered the goals of Jiu-Jitsu to revolve around three aspects: physical education, personal achievement, and ethical growth. In other words, through the practice of Jiu-Jitsu, one would complete their personal development through the training of body and mind, becoming a person better able to contribute to society and the world. Recognizing the never-ending quest for self-perfection, even today Carlos Gracie continues to study these techniques and principles with his students. The constant development of techniques demonstrates his adherence to these principles, continuously striving for further progress and knowledge.

Gracie Barra Sheffield is under Lucio "Lagarto" Rodrigues, and classes are taken by John Goldson, BROWN belt under Lagarto. With Black Belt instructors such as Gabriel Kitobar and Lucio Sergio and Ben Poppleton.

mullet vs huge bloke

thats how ninjas fight..... they come out of nowhere and destroy everything.... ninja style

remember people ninjitsu won ufc 3.....

ninjas rule

only for staff and students

you'll be ok, craigs a good guy.

having not watched the fight and haveing no kickboxing background i think (as with most martial arts based topics) i am more than qualified to say that thia fight is a draw... cant we all just be friends.

Simply shouting "STOP, I'm GETTING ANGRY" often stops would be muggers.

* then turn green

its ok you have more important things to do on sundays

yes you did, well done

well done tracy and dunk, well deserved

oh and you forgot the stripe on my purple

brazilian is better

I also work in a school - and I am constantly tested by the dinner staff. There aren't many defences against whisks, cutlery, hot chip fat and baking trays.

 

I take a pack up, instead of running the gauntlet each day

you'lll have to take a course in kit-chen-fu, its style i just invented, we work with real everyday items,

at stage one you will learn about attacks and defence using the knife and fork, upon completing this you will do an advanced short course in spoons

level two is whisks, large spoons, rolling pins and so on...

at level 3 you will move to the exotics such as cheese graters, sauce pans and the dreaded frying pan, with an option to take wok if you pass the above.

there is no bowing, just hardcore kit-chen-fu.
