What’s the difference between Gracie Jiu-Jitsu & Gracie Jiu-Jitsu?

A viewer wants to know what’s the difference between two BJJ academies in his town. One sign says “Gracie Jiu-Jitsu” the other says “Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu”.

Ramsey answering the most important question of all I see

[VitalityGracieGarage]

There are two kinds of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu - one for sport, and one for self defense. The self defense linage is under Helio Gracie, but the sport linage is under his brother Carlos Gracie. Carlos and his sons felt that making it a sport would cause the art to be more widespread, so they focused on sport, created the global federation of sport jiu-jitsu, and created rules and time limits and tournaments, and eliminated the parts of the art that address strikes and other self defense elements of it. Helio, as the main creator of the Art, wanted to stay focused purely on Self Defense so he and his sons split from Carlos. if you want GJJ for self defense, go for Helio's linage, if you want to go for sport then go for Carlos's linage. Each of these branches are in fact VERY different from each other.

Royce Gracie competed in the first 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘳 UFC tournaments, retiring from one of them and winning 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 of them.
He also fought at UFC 5, but in a superfight, not the tournament.

Ramsey: what's the difference between gracie jiu jitsu and gracie jiu jitsu

Me: *visible confusion*

I personally train at a Gracie Jiu jitsu academy and the only difference i see between our gym and others in my city is the white belt curriculum. Our white belt curriculum is organized with more strike, weapon, and hold defenses for the casual practitioner but less actual application for the sport of BJJ whereas other jiu jitsu schools teach more techniques that can be applied during rolling/sparring but after blue belt it’s all pretty much the same as far as more advanced techniques go in my opinion

[surajshaw]

The difference between Gracie Jiu Jitsu and any other BJJ schools is that back when Rorion Gracie started his school, he copyrighted the name "Gracie Jiu Jitsu" so that only he and his sons could use the name "Gracie Jiu Jitsu" and no else can... Not even his siblings. But his other siblings can use their full name like "Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu" Or "Rickson Gracie Jiu Jitsu".

What do you think about Master wong Jiu Jitsu aka the Jiu jitsu of the streetz

[matthewluna]

I have learned techniques from both gracey, and 10th planet. Theu both have there purposes. They both have great set ups, and escapes. The more you know the better.

So speaking of Gracie's Jiu-Jitsu schools four schools from the lineage, I have found three schools reasonably close to me physically speaking.
One of them studied under Carlson Gracie and he seems to have a fun energy family oriented type of school. He actually happens to be my ex girlfriends friend.
Then I found another school that is if you look them up Gracie Barra very tournament orientating like extraordinary tournament oriented. And then of course I found a Gracie's University certified Training Center which is where I go. All three of these different places have an extraordinary different feel to them the reason I chose the certified Training Center is because it follows the exact curriculum that I signed up for and it focuses first and foremost on self-defense. It's also rather affordable compared to most jiu-jitsu classes

True but you forgot to mention the difference between helio gracie jj and carlos gracie jj. Helios decendants focus more on the self defense whilst carlos' dial in on the sport aspect. Just my 2 cents.

[McDojoLife]

Thanks for the shout out homie!!! Appreciate the hell out of that

[joatanpereira]

Hey, Ramsey, could you talk about the differences between Fadda Jiu Jitsu and Gracie Jiu Jitsu and do you think about Fadda JJ?

[lane]

My understanding is Royce Gracie line of schools has decided to focus on the self defence aspects rather than competition.

[scottmarlow]

I went to a Royce school and got my blue belt from him. Royce lives in California and travels to do promotions and seminars, so it is not a name drop as Ramsey is suggesting. It is no different than what Royler or Rickson does. Royce's black belts have the blue bar on their belt in honor of Helio. Eli Knight is a Royce Gracie Black Belt, if you want to see an example. There is the Helio's lineage and his brother Carlos' lineage for Gracie Jiu-jitsu; both who studied under Judoka Mitsuyo Maeda.

I want to make sure I understand what you said, the Machados can trace their lineage back to the Gracies even if they did modify and cultivate their own JJ style. I did read that Oswaldo Fadda can trace his leaneage directly to Carlos Gracie.

[chenzenzo]

As a Gracie Jiu-jitsu practicioner for 35 years. (Royce) didn't teach for a very long time after 1993. Ask him. Between 93 and 98 he was a different person. Almost nobody studied under Royce.

Hey coach Ramsey, what is your take on semen retention(no ejaculation) and combat sports?

[legbreaker]

Maeda's Japanese friends Sataki, Shimitsu, Laku and Omori were also the fathers of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, since GJJ came directory from Maeda->Carlos Gracie->... The whole world is talking about the 2 Gracie brothers as the real founders of BJJ. That is wrong, the Gracies were the founders of GJJ. Let us all never forget Luiz Franca (The same class where Carlos Gracie was a student of Maeda) and his student Oswaldo Fadda... Fadda continued Fraca's philosophy by teaching BJJ to the poor, instead of only the middle or upperclass of society. The Gracies were for the wealthy Rio's City Centre, while Franca worked in the favela's and the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. BJJ was created for all people from their fathers Maeda -> Sataki -> Omori, Franca-> Fadda. Never forget the root differences between BJJ en GJJ!! Osu!
