People can hate all day, but the Gracie family opened the eyes of the entire world. Yes BJJ comes from Judo. Yes there is wrestling in BJJ. But no one put it all together like the Gracie family for fighting and self defense. They changed the wide world of martial arts, for the better. And it’s still evolving. Train hard
As Gracie's student in real life this works. I got into a fight last year, not aggressor but victim, and used elbow blocks and arms out to block punches. Grabbed the guys and sat down as I got to his back and landed on him flattened him out with hooks and he was done, didn't want to fight anymore. Not a punch thrown from me, as choke was also available at end. He got charged with simple assault. Also started fight by sucker punching me and grabbed by tank top with Gracie's logo😅. I guess he just didn't know.
