Gracie Jiu-Jitsu gives students the best possible chance when facing an attack by one or more opponents. The overwhelming superiority demonstrated by Royce Gracie in the Ultimate Fighting Championship created a misconception, Jiu-Jitsu is a complete fighting system and not an exclusively ground grappling art. A Traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner learns strikes, which include techniques with the elbows, hands, feet, head, and knees. Students learn that the optimum self-defense strategy is to maintain a safe distance from the attacker. This battle tested method teaches defenses against the most common street attacks, the majority standing, which quickly neutralize aggressors. The practice of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu clarifies a long lasting myth, real life fights are not like scenes from Martial Arts movies where protagonists KO dozens of “bad guys” one after the other. Consequently, a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner possesses the most realistic chances of safely overcoming a multiple opponents attack.
