[@mosey69]

You should make this a series. Making videos talking about the history of jiu jitsu over the years

[@kamilion100]

What a gift to bjj fans! Thanks so much Robert!

[@paulopinheiro9137]

There's another big moment for jiu jitsu, when Carlson start to have group classes, witch is the way we do today. Carlson in my opinion is the greatest gracie of all time

[@scarred10]

any sign of this documentary ever being released,its over a year since the book came out.

[@olimaye]

Excellent, thanks!

[@JablesMullet]

What is the latest on the movie Closed Guard? Is that still going to happen or is this series in lieu of?

[@gmel1084]

As far as Helios 1935-36 matches Do you think they were being stood up by the ref after every takedown? Probably judo rules. I doubt Helio would be wanting to stand up constantly on his own doing

[@Rollsgracie4]

I think what Robert is saying is that at first Hélio Gracie was loving the judo and learned about Kosen send you down slowly it went to the ground more more. I was the same way she does a beautiful, classy art and I used to try to fight in tournaments Brazilian jujitsu tournament standing with an erect back Juda style. I like to mix both together before we realized the importance of wrestling so I understand how Helio Gracie might’ve been doing kind of the same thing not that he got into wrestling but more into the ground knowing that he’ll never catch them at stand up

@@Rollsgracie4 thanks for the reply!

[@mauriciosanchez6190]

Great job Robert, it brings a lot to those of us who are interested in history , Muchas gracias

[@josefraguas2768]

Oh well i am not the only one saying Kano and UFC are two of the three biggest/important turning points in history of Martial Arts! I thought i was the only one “crazy” out there!

[@Rollsgracie4]

And also probably falling in love with the ground, grappling, and the usefulness on the street, and for the smaller guy

[@frankiecal3186]

No mention of how the Gracie's just stole catch wrestling moves and relabeled them.👎

[@AGONCombatJiuJitsu]

Like which one?

[@teovu5557]

yeah which one...still waiting for your answer lol

[@Rollsgracie4]

There is no stealing there’s just putting the right Martial Arts Moves togather Growing a Martial art combination needs to rest that’s all . The Gold Mine is still inside. The belly of the Jiujitsu, don’t kid yourself and they pave the way multiple levels so calm down step away from your insecurity. Everything has a piece of truth but Jiujitsu,’s got a Lotta truth for the street for sure and class.

[@JEFFMAN90]

Frank thats like saying Kano stole moves from multiple Ju Jutsu styles to create Judo. Shut up and go get educated

[@JEFFMAN90]
