A life long dedication to the development of healthy habits physically, mentally and socially, through the training of Jiu-jitsu.
“At the heart of the Gracie Jiu-jitsu is the goal of training both the body and spirit, going beyond the ‘winning-losing’ or ‘contest’ philosophy present in other martial arts. Instead, emphasizes 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. Jiu-Jitsu is in fact a method of education, which could be used to foster one’s personal development. Consider 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. Through Jiu-jitsu, recognize the never-ending quest for self-perfection, continuously striving for further progress and knowledge.” – Professor Carlos Gracie Jr.
