Rolls Gracie Homage

On June 6th, 1982 the Gracie family lost one of its most talented fighters and a leader to an entire generation: Rolls Gracie.

His legacy is as big as the great influence he had on all those around him. His open mind allowed significant improvements on our art as many techniques from other styles like Judo, Wrestling, and Sambo became used more often in BJJ.

On 1982 Rolls Gracie died during a hang gliding accident in the mountains of Maua. After his death, his studens called upon Carlos Gracie Jr. to continue Rolls work at the schools an the seed of Gracie Barra was planted.

We all miss you Master Rolls. Although most of us have never met you, your legacy lives with us.
