Proven the most effective style of martial arts in the world, BJJ was developed in Brazil by the Gracie Family in the early 1900's.

MMA or "vale tudo" as it is called in it's birth country of Brazil, was created to compare the effectiveness of martial arts against one another in the closest setting to a real street fight.
The Gracie family and it's devastating style of Jiu Jitsu brought the sport to America in the early 90's and revolutionized the martial arts world by showing the importance of ground fighting and how infective the more traditional martial arts styles such as Karate, Kung Fu, Tae Know Do and many others were against a trained Jiu Jitsu fighter in a real case scenario where they were no or very little rules.
