The MOST IMPORTANT Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu demonstration EVER

[Benny B]

This is a classic demonstration of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu performed by Hélio, Carlos and Carlson Gracie (among other less famous practitioners)! They did that demonstration in order to get Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sanctioned by one of the most important presidents in Brazil's history: Getúlio Vargas (you can see him sitting in the front line)! Look at how smooth the techniques were even back then and how Hélio Gracie really focused on Self-Defense techniques! This is why we can say that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a different branch of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu because it focuses on the effectiveness of the techniques while Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is sadly becoming more and more a sport! The ending is very funny!
