Carlos Gracie Jr. taught his younger brother traditional Japanese
jiu jitsu which he learned from Mitsuyo Maeda, a Japanese Judo
fighter. But since Helio Gracie was small and weak, he couldnt
effectively execute the Judo moves that required a lot of strength.
But since Helio Gracie was small and weak, he couldnt effectively
execute the Judo moves that required a lot of strength.
Consequently, he began adapting judo for his particular physical
attributes, and through trial and error learned to maximize
leverage, thus minimizing the force needed to be exerted to execute
a technique, thus inventing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or Gracie Jiu

BASED ON POWER AND RESOURCES Jiu jitsu practitioners fight for
better technique in order to be successful on the mats, in
competition, or in a fight for survival. They achieve improvement
in technique through training consisting of drilling and sparring.
A lot of times jiu jitsu fighters will not only practice in their
own school, but will travel to different schools to understand
techniques. Slide 8 CONFLICT THEORY COMPETITIVE SOCIETY BASED ON
POWER AND RESOURCES Jiu jitsu fighters who practice and train
primarily on their techniques have been proven to be the winners.
Roger Gracie is a 10x World Champion in sport jiu jitsu and is
known for using only a few basic techniques, but because he is so
well trained in those techniques he is one of the greatest. Slide 9
CONFLICT THEORY COMPETITIVE SOCIETY BASED ON POWER AND RESOURCES
The people who are able to control their minds and prevent
adrenaline from over powering their ability to apply their
intelligence have patience. Every fighter wants patience because it
provides clarity in some of the most frustrating instances that may
occur during a fight. Jiu jitsu fighters train their patience not
only by trying to remain calm during intense sparring at the gym,
but because patience is a mentality, it is also trained during
their everyday situations. Patience is important in jiu jitsu
because sometimes you are put in unbelievably uncomfortable
positions. For example, many times you can be exhausted to the
point where you cannot breathe, and instinctively you want to
explode and scramble out of a bad position but 95 percent of the
time that will put you in a worse position against a calmer
calculative opponent. Slide 10 CONFLICT THEORY COMPETITIVE SOCIETY
BASED ON POWER AND RESOURCES Because patience helps mental focus on
a jiu jitsu fighters game and allows them to have total control of
when they act, they are always the ones to be victorious. For 5
rounds, jiu jitsu fighter, Anderson Silva was being taken down and
battered by the elite wrestler Chael Sonnen. Throughout the whole
match Silva remained calm despite the fact that he was being
manhandled and beaten up. With three minutes left in the final
round of the fight, the calm Silva slapped on an arm-triangle choke
on the over confident Sonnen and defended his middleweight title.
Anderson Silvas display of patience and victory proves patience to
be resourceful in the world of jiu jitsu and mixed martial arts.
Slide 11 FUNCTIONAL THEORY A Mechanical Society Slide 12 FUNCTIONAL
THEORY A Mechanical Society Jiu Jitsu practitioners train to be
better fighters. They train themselves and each other in an effort
to get better with a collective effort. Slide 13 FUNCTIONAL THEORY
A Mechanical Society Eddie Bravo was a student under Jean Jacques
Machado and earned a black belt in traditional BJJ. Afterwards, he
started his own school teaching his own innovative jiu jitsu style
which includes his own moves such as the Rubber Guard (left) and
The Twister (right). Slide 14 FUNCTIONAL THEORY A Mechanical
Society Slide 15 FUNCTIONAL THEORY A Mechanical Society Professors
teach their students to be better fighters by guiding them in their
training, paying attention to their weaknesses and strengths, and
providing a family environment at the gym by being almost like a
father figure. Professors also benefit from teaching by learning
new moves and styles that their students come up with. Slide 16

Jitsus belt systems purpose is much like belt systems in other
martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do and Karate. They symbolize the
amount of ones experience, knowledge, and superiority just as
different badges indicate different ranks in the army or police
force. Each new belt is like finishing one grade to another.
Achieving the black belt is like graduating college and finally
beginning to actually work and learn maneuver in the real world. As
grandmaster Helio Gracie once said, You only begin learning jiu
jitsu as a black belt. Because the belt system is universal,
holding a black belt in the mixed martial arts world is like
holding a college degree going in to a job sector. Jiu Jitsus belt
