The Gracie family revolutionized the world of martial arts and self-defense when they exposed the world to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the first Ultimate Fighting Championship event in 1993. Royce Gracie shocked audiences, submitting a series of larger, stronger opponents by using leverage and position to submit challenger with minimal strikes and physical damage.

Working with Rilion Gracie, I recently filmed the first episode in the Gracie Legacy Series – a video series that exclusively features 2nd generation members of the world famous Gracie family.

In this short private lesson, Rilion Gracie demonstrates positional control and submission techniques that arise from common street fight and MMA situations.

Upcoming episodes will feature techniques, philosophy, diet & fitness tips, and insights from the 2nd generation of the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Family – sons of Carlos and Helio.
