Below a picture with a few GB Black Belts and the Trophy that will be sent to our head quarter in Irvine.

It is with great sadness that Gracie Barra announces the passing of Grandmaster Helio Gracie. At 95 years of age, the great icon and one of those most responsible for Jiu-Jitsu’s success in Brazil and the world died on Jan 29th, at Beneficencia Portuguesa Hospital, in Petropolis, mountain region of Rio de Janeiro.

We are sure his spirit will live in the hearts of all BJJ lovers and practitioners.

The Gracie Barra School leaves here an homage to a the Great Grand Master and our gratitude for all he has done for this incredible and noble art.

Our hearts go out to his family.
