Royce Gracie vs. Akebono K-1 (2004)
2008-03-26 19:06:00 Hey, a Royce fight of this decade that wasn't too embarrassing for the aging Gracie-The reason I put this fight up is for two reasons:1) How he manged to get the fight on the ground without a takedown.When a guy is big, when he overcommits to a strike, it doesn't take much to make him fall. Notice at 1:13 how Royce uses his signature "I look like I have cerebral palsy" leg kick combined with dropping down and back to make the grossly overweight Akebono drop like a mishandled stack of cinder blocks into his guard (just tossing this in, but good use of the knee to block the punch near the end). You don't see non-low tolerance throws and takedowns all that often anymore, but so many people forget one of the major points of a throw during execution: unbalance your opponent, then help him fall. Granted, this was an extreme example, but it'll do just fine to illustrate my point.2) The Omoplata WristlockA less complicated manuever than the "Omoplatarmbar" I featured a little while back...

I was feeling nostalgic - Royce Gracie vs. Kung Fu
2007-11-01 20:19:00 No, the kung fu guy is not Jason Delucia... I think.It's pretty demonstrative of what happened to just about everyone who dismissed grappling as an important component of fighting, you know, before everyone and their mother saw the UFC and now thinks of BJJ as the anti-christ of TMA.A short and sweet clip- enjoy. -y
Which Schools Dominate The UFC?
2007-09-14 21:22:00 As with any sport, the way to win has developed over time. In baseball, good pitching used to rule the day whereas now, teams rely on sluggers to pound the ball to victory. In basketball, quick passes and good defense used to win championships. Now, deadly shooting and high-flying moves do the trick. The same goes for a sport like Mixed Martial Arts. I've defined the sport into three main categories during its short history, with a different school of fighting dominating the game, eventually ending at the hybridized style we see from almost every fighter today.It doesn't take an expert to figure out that Gracie Jiu Jitsu (a slight variation on classic Jiu Jitsu), as utilized by Royce Gracie, was the single most imposing force in early UFC. This style, based on joint locks and body control, was perfect for smaller fighters facing much larger and stronger opponents. Royce highlighted the style's strengths during a fight with Dan Severn, in which he submitted the man 70 pounds his h...

Relson Gracie on Allegations of Royce Gracie Using Steroids
2007-06-19 18:16:00 Relson Gracie stopped in San Diego, California for a seminar on June 17, 2007 at Fabio Santos‘ academy. In this video, we sat down with Relson to discuss his thoughts on the California State Athletic Commission’s recent report that Relson’s brother Royce Gracie tested positive for steroids. The report, if accurate, is particularly unfortunate given that Gracie jiu-jitsu is based around the idea that it is technique, not strength which wins fights. This would be the first known example of a Gracie using performance enhancing drugs in competition.
