Category: Martial Arts (60 listings)

In the early 1900's, a Japanese jiu-jitsu instructor by the name of Esai Maeda went to the state of Para in Northern Brazil. There he befriended Gastao Gracie, an influential businessman, who helped the Japanese get established. To show his gratitude, Maeda, also known as "Count Koma", offered to teach the traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu to Gastao's oldest son, Carlos.

I think their internet information and demonstrative teaching program are very extensive and beneficial for me since, I can't personally attend their training programs.

Outstanding instruction and a friendly environment. No egos here; everyone is just trying to improve their game and the senior students don't think twice about helping out newer students.
