Introduction
Fighting is woven into the blood of the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu dynasty.
Rickson Gracie is an undefeated Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts legend who descends from a long line of Brazilian and Scottish warriors.
From ancestor Archibald Gracie III, who served under Robert E. Lee in the American Civil War, to Rickson's grandfather Gastao Gracie, who introduced his sons Carlos and Helio to combat, the Gracies were born to fight.
The Gracie brothers, Rickson's father and uncle, paved the way for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the middle of the 20th century.
With such a strong family history of fighting, Rickson Gracie was born to be a fighter.
