A Brief History of Jiu-Jitsu
Grappling has been practiced since ancient times, but the foundation of modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was laid by Mitsuyo Maeda in the early 20th century. After traveling the world to demonstrate his martial art, Maeda eventually settled in Brazil and taught Jiu-Jitsu to the Gracie family.
Carlos and Helio Gracie adapted the techniques to suit their physiques, creating the foundation for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu we know today. Read more about the history of Jiu-Jitsu here.
Why Jiu-Jitsu Stands Out
Unlike many striking-based martial arts, Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes leverage, control, and technique over brute strength. The effectiveness of Jiu-Jitsu was proven when Royce Gracie, representing his family’s system, defeated much larger opponents in the early UFC events.
This demonstrated to the world that size isn’t everything in a real fight—and that a well-trained Jiu-Jitsu practitioner can control and submit stronger, heavier opponents.

“I’ve been coming here for about ~6 months now. I’ve had no prior training, and this the first gym I’ve been to. I was hesitant to start BJJ in general because I was intimidated and nervous of the preconceived notion I had about gyms goers with egos or something to prove. A good friend recommended Silanoe and said it was such a welcoming and safe environment to train at. He said there was lots of camaraderie and genuine desire to improve themselves and collaboratively help others improve too.
I cannot stress how right my friend was. Professor Gino is an excellent instructor and the environment he fosters in the gym is truly authentic and welcoming. A stark contrast from some of the corporate style gyms.”
