4.0 out of 5 stars Proof, September 18, 2005

This review is from: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu In-Action Vol. I (DVD)

Gracie in Action is a great dvd for the disbeliever of the fact that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is effective against any discipline of martial arts. This is definitly a must have for anyone who is training or interested in training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It's entertaining, although it is not an instructional dvd.

Though by todays standards this film may seem very dated within the world of MMA and BJJ,it's heavy weighted history still carries a plethora of merit in todays world of combat.
You will be delighted to archived footage of master Helio Gracie taking on Japanese masters in the arts of grappling.
You will see Rorion Gracie and company dispatch strikers,wrestlers,and every other type of martial artist in-between.
Though BJJ may not be the dominant force it once was,this film brillantly shows the impact and influence the Gracie family has had within the world of martial arts.
