Waldemar Santana I spend a lot of time on this site referencing the “Gracie Version” of BJJ history. It is the story (based upon facts) crafted by Rorion to promote the particular variant of BJJ that he was selling at the time. The established heroes of his story were Maeda. https://simonbjj.com/waldemar #bjjstandsforbrazilianjiujitsu #historybjj #historybrazilianjiujitsu #graciebjjhistory #graciefamilyhistory

Gracie Family History While the common version of the history of BJJ simplifies the timeline and consolidates the story around a few key players, it is important to understand that the complete history is more nuanced, contains many contributors and is filled with its own ups and downs. http://bjjhistory.org/ #historybjj #historybrazilianjiujitsu #graciebjjhistory #graciefamilyhistory
