Keeping Helio Gracie's Philosophy alive with Pedro Sauer!

When you go to a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school nowadays, You will notice they focus more on the competition side of Jiu Jitsu instead of self defense. Helio Grace didn't invent Jiu Jitsu but he modified it so that a smaller individual could defend himself against a larger person as self defense, which is now known as Gracie Jiu Jitsu. BJJ has grown into a great sport however, everyone has their own reason to study the art and not everyone is doing it to be a world class athlete. I heard Rener Gracie once say, "My grandfather's philosophy for Jiu Jitsu was to survive and keep from being defeated, while capitalizing on your opponent's mistake". In competition, you only have 4-10 minutes to fight so everyone's attacking. In the streets, it may last longer and if your attacks don't end the fight quickly, you can risk getting tired and being in a worse situation. Also in competition, a lot of people like to "Pull Guard" but Pulling Guard in the streets might be a very very bad chose.

I love both sides of Jiu Jitsu that's why I train under Professor Pedro Sauer. He keeps everything like Helio taught it. When I train with my BJJ Coach Cesar and Professor Sauer, we focus on both sides and I think that's how it should be.  I noticed now, some competitions like the Metamoris Pro Oct. 14th, is 20 minutes/ submission only. That means no points and if no one taps then it's a draw. That forces athletes to be calmer and show more technique. That's how you would be in a real fight, not going crazy, getting tired and getting stomped out.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu also known as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great self defense and sport and I look forward to seeing it grow even more.
