Brazilian wrestling style created by Helio Gracie and his brothers in 1925.
Originally Helio was training Judo in 1917, sadly he was unable to perform many Judo throws well due to his small size and weak physical strength. Later Helio created special grappling techniques which can be used by smaller practitioners to defeat larger opponents, developed from Koppojutsu and Catch Wrestling.
