Grandmaster Helio Gracie Passed Away Today



The definitive inverview of Grandmaster Helio found on Graciemag.com



In this world of evil and darkness, there is this singular activity created by the Gracie Family that shines as a beacon of light - guiding people to live honest, humble lives while exercising a warrior's heart to never give up.
The first time I heard "leave your ego at the door" - I knew that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was more than sport or martial art.
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu = Right over Might. The best system of self-defense. The ordinary man’s solution to serious life or death situations.
I thank God for Grandmaster Helio Gracie and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
I am forever grateful.

Philippians 1:27-30 (New Living Translation)
27 Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News. 28 Don’t be intimidated in any way by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself. 29 For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him. 30 We are in this struggle together.
