The Reason Why Grandmaster Hélio Gracie Wore A Blue Belt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- This question was asked to Grandmaster Hélio by Professor Pedro Valente when he visited the Miami Jiu-jitsu Academy. He replied that originally, the Gracie Academy did not use belt colors to denote fighting ability. Different colored belts were only used to differentiate students from instructors. Black belts were avoided because this was what Judo instructors wore. The Gracies regarded Judo as a restrictive sport, instead of a comprehensive fighting system. Back then, instructors in the Gracie Academy wore light blue belts, and head instructors wore belts that were dark blue. Head instructors had to complete a special course, taught by the Grandmaster personally.

Because it was his favourite colour, and it was his school, so he could do what he wanted.
he even could wear a white belt and he'd still being Grand Master Helio Gracie, the belt is just for tie the GI
Also, when they started out, they thought the term 'master' was ridiculous. Fast forward a few decades and now we have grandmasters. Soon there will be infinity masters.
It sounds like some kkk shit to me
They adopted the Judo titles. Master at 7th Dan, Grandmaster at 9th.
I just wanna know what degree i need to get for ppl to call me "Lord"
Money
Grandmaster in Brazilian Jiujitsu
I was fortunate enough to hear it from Helio himself. Ryron translated. Q & A after a seminar at the Torrance academy. It was a lifetime ago. Beautiful memories.
Videos like this are the best! Do more 👏🏻
Yup more coming!!!!!
It’s crazy how sport BJJ simultaneously watered down BJJ (or GJJ) while also driving innovation in techniques and style.
Wait this isn't the infographics channel lol. Great video
It’s not but we will have some videos like this every month
Makes sense because Maeda never gave the 1st rank (shodan) to carlos gracie nor to pire dos reis or george, only to jacyntho ferro who was their instructor in belem. So they could not use a maeda jiu jitsu black belt neither a judo black belt. Maeda was more into wrestling and prize fighting, and lately when he made peace with jigoro kano focused only on kano judo. I always felt like carlos was trying to learn but all his masters went away travelling or died, in 1929 ferro died so when he opened the pire dos reis academy they hired geo omori as teacher for a short time, pire was the head of the academy george and carlos the instructors but pire was always away as he was a tax collector and self defence instructor of police forces across the country.
Belts are used to hold your pants up.
helio wore a red belt
This is awesome history.
Thanks!!!
Do more vids like this pls.
more to come!! just the beginning
Why did he end up with a red belt ------------------ cause he wanted too
Is this system still used or can we use
True Jiujitsu is a self defense art not a sports recreational game taught now a days in many schools.
Oh y’all doin infographics now??
Yup!!!
Helio was never a black belt either,he went straight from navy to red beltt in 1967.
ye judo a restrectiv sport still Helio got defeated by a judoka Kimura .
Good
What does it mean that Judo is restrictive?
originally judo fighters were forbidden from fighting for money, dangerous moved were illegal, stuff like that
Judo is restrictive but the 🐐 helio lost to one really think about that f9r a second
Let’s not forget the context to this statement as this fight :
1) Kimura made Helio fight his #1 student and desciple in order to “prove” he was good enough to face the best Judo warrior Japan has ever produced.
2) Helio used his favorite “strangle”= the X strangle from the guard to render his opponent unconscious.
3) Kimura was a young Heavyweight: who stated if Helio could last a minute he should consider himself the victor. Helio lasted many minutes (but succumbed to the now infamous KIMURA LOCK) Noting here not due to a tap but from his older brother throwing the towel.
Helio was invited (the only non-Japanese) to be invited to teach at the Kodokan. (Think about that for a second). Think about the state of Japanese “judo” would be in today if Helio went to Japan and implemented HIS TEACHING TECHNIQUES (from which I believe are the foundation of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Their select teaching style is so effective and radical that the older heads in Japan wouldn’t have sat well. I firmly believe Helio Gracie’s teaching style is what SEPARATES JIU JITSU FROM JUDO!!

1st. No he didn't a newspaper invited the japanese to compete with helio. The first match between helio and yukio or the #1 student as you like to call it led to a draw, in the rematch helio won. After words the other judoka wanted to challenge but kimura took his place.
2nd. The weight difference between helio and kimura was 20 pounds. Even if kimura was a heavyweight why would that matter don't bjj people always say a smaller person can beat a stronger bigger person. Except this time right.
3rd. There's no proof kimura said helio should be declared the winner within 3min(citation needed). If you read the helio biography he clearly states he was bested and had his arm broken therefore could not continue and was forfeited. You also need a citation for helio being invited to teach at the kodokan because kimura never said that.
4th bjj is nothing more but kosen judo (which emphasise ground fighting) with different rules.
Think about that for a second.
P.s. you may wanna see the yoshida vs gracie match. Maybe it'll knock some sense into you
Go read "opening closed guard" by Robert Drysdale
@@laxusboulvard7229Well it was necessary the goat of judokas to beat Helio, well he is very legendary at this point.
@@sliderx1897 I love drysdale man but his book is not a journal or an academic work. For me it is just his personnel opinion.
In an art where effectiveness is more important than pure memorisation of syllabus, belts aren't really needed even. You don't have them in Boxing unless you hold a proper title, so it would make modern Jiujitsu easier to manage if belts weren't even a thing anymore. Just make it like MMA, just practice it, no need for belt rankings.
The Gracies tell alot of BS. Carlos was only given a blue belt. No one promoted the Gracies with color belts above blue
Thief.
Gracie bought Toyota (Judo) add some mods and called it Goyota (Bjj) 😂
1 dislike from the guy who feel like he REALLY earned his blackbelt.
quiet white belt
Neophyte vs Grandmaster
