In the early 1900’s, a Japanese prizefighter by the name of Mitsuyo Maeda came to Brazil to try to set up a Japanese community.<\/p>\n
He was helped out by a prominent local businessman, named Gast\u0103o Gracie and, as the story goes, to show his gratitude, he began to teach Jiu-Jitsu\u00a0 Carlos, who then began to teach and practice the art with his brothers, including H\u00e9lio Gracie.<\/p>\n
Then, through the years, the brothers developed their own variations and styles, which came to be known as ‘Brazilian Jiu Jitsu’.<\/p>\n
H\u00e9lio Gracie (October 1, 1913 – ) started training Jiu Jitsu when he was 14 years old and moved into a house shared by his older brothers who taught it.<\/p>\n
He is the founder and a master of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, later known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ.<\/p>\n
