What we must not forget is that the Brazilians did all sorts of rude things to Kimura and his friends. Gracie prepared a coffin for Kimura and provoked him, while the crowd pelted him with raw eggs.
Never forget that Kimura is the Michel jordan of Judo. He was the smallest person (1.70cm)that ver won the openweight all Japan championship. He won those 4 times. We also lost like with Ali a lot of his prime years because the war begann when he was 24. The difference between him and his opponent was so large that people ask how many minutes it would take Kimura to beat his opponent. The Kimura that fought helio was not even 1/10 of prime Kimura and he still was dominanting on a Supreme level.
Helio was 134 lbs at the time of the fight and Kimura weighed in at 187. That’s 53 lbs. how much does he need to weigh to have a size advantage? Damn dude, have you ever rolled with someone who is super good at judo or jiu jitsu? Those pounds add up in a big way.
@@Jiu-Jitsu-Robot Gracie’s brought out coffin for kimura and threw eggs at him. Kimura weighed more around 22-33 pounds heavier than helio not 53 my dude.
@@Jiu-Jitsu-Robot Other than the newspapers in regards to the Gracie’s activities of inflating things and performing acts such as beating Rufino? I love bjj and Judo but the Gracie’s have always had a shady history especially seen with UFC 1 and prior.
So called BJJ is not a martial art it is a brand. It was marketed to America in UFC 1, 2, 3, and 4. They hand picked sub par fighters to go against Royce. With the exception of Ken shamrock . None of the opponents except shamrock knew grappling.
He say he was arrogant but that is cap hellio literally brought a coffin and forced him to make stupid ass rule changes like the mats were to be soft more like crash pads then ufc regulated ones they have claim a big weight difference Kimura wrote in book he was 85 kg hellio was 80 the Gracie family as a whole talks mad shit about judo btw kimura was a judoka not a ju Jitsu fighter hellio grandson also said he couldn’t finish his grand father that’s also cap he put hellio to sleep with a triangle hellio even admitted it in an interview
You know, considering the whole marketing of BJJ is that it's designed for the smaller, weaker person, they don't half use strength and weight difference as an excuse for losing all the time. BJJ is a great style, but the constant re-telling of history and the BS excuses from a lot of the Gracie machine put me off.
Size matters when the skill levels are equal, and this applies across all skill levels. It takes an awful lot of balls to fight a fight you know you're going to lose. Regardless of the variations in the storytelling, what happened, happened.
@@GreenDistantStar when did Helio ever say he knew he was going to lose? The whole marketing for/from the Gracie's was 'size isn't an issue, this was designed for the smaller person.' The Gracie's more often than not will come up with the excuse of, 'he was 300 pounds heavier, and was on 'roids, and had 3 bowls of Weetabix that morning, so we take this as a victory,' when they lose fairly. They can never just acknowledge that the better fighter won, and that their style of JJ isn't unbeatable, they always have to tag-on a little excuse. I like BJJ, I like some of the Gracies, would love to spend time with Rickson, but as a family they have twisted the truth so many times that the people who were there don't even remember for certain what actually happened.
At that time they were like true warriors. No ego, not for money and absolutely not for fame but just fought for a good cause. A big bow to both the Sensei's..😊🙏
How about telling the story about the catch wrestler who beat Carlos. Well Carlos quit. Later that year the three Gracie brothers jump the guy, beat him with a pipe and hyperextended his extremities while being held down. They were convicted and spent time in jail but was let out because of the family’s political ties. I would like to hear the Gracie perspective on that.
Thats manuel rufino dos santos . Dont expect him to tell the truth he made a video with same bs. Funny they dont mention rufino's student , mestre/ master tatu founder of brazilian lucha libre that beaten gracie also. Many other dirty stuff
This guys channel reminds me of that cartoon segment on the bullwinkle and rockey the squirrel show with old english colonel who would sit in his library and tell a bunch of embellished stories about his past to his friend. It was BS fishing stories about how badass he was. How is this guy ever leave his ego at the door?
Did Kimura ever tell his side of the story? Anybody know why there are American books about jiujitsu, written as early as 1925, and probably earlier, but Helio would have just been born around then, and he claims that he learned jiujitsu in his 20-30's, and invented bjj. Helio claims that him and his brother learned Japanese jiujitsu, and then turned it into mainly a ground combat. Why can we find books from many years before the Gracies that teaches jiujitsu in America, and the books show ground jiujitsu moves?
I love judo but this is not true lol. Both martial arts compliment each other greatly and I feel they are one in the same. Of course they have differences and bjj is more similar to kosen judo.
Kimura threw Helio all over the place and reading his book took it easy on him before the kimura, kudos to Helio for such courage and for once, a Gracie that told the truth, (about 70% of it anyway,) at least he has some honour, Kimura threw him like a Judoka would, ,,,,what was that? Ohhhh, he was a Judoka, then tell it as it was, there's no shame in it. The others call him a Jujitsu champion, he was a JUDOKA, that's it. No problems.
I guess their logic is that the Judo of the 40s and 50s was much closer to old school Jiu Jitsu. Kimura for example had such good ground skills that he completely dominated Helio in his own game. A modern day Judoka champ would not be able to do that to a world champ BJJ of today.

No he does not. In fact he compliments Helio Gracie for his bravery and says how important that fight was for making him remember the importamce of ne-waza.
@glowindark64 sorry let me give a much more deeper reply, yes he was Judoka but he was also a catch wrestler who trained out of the snake pit, it is my belief that at this phase in his life he was practicing catch more than judo, which mean he more than likely blended both to improve tge other..
Thank you for telling the TRUTH. Not like the other gracie says it otherwise and so many alibi's/reasons but you on the other hand, tells exactly what happened. I give to the rest of the gracie family truly are a warrior, they never give in, they just rather went cold then to surrender. Again, a warrior spirit. I saw this when the family fought Sakuraba.
Kimura beat him with a double wrist lock. That he learned while training with catch as catch can wrestlers. At least that what I read he learned it from.
It’s a pretty universal technique, ude garami in Japanese, double wrist lock in English, and present in a number of other grappling disciplines around the world too. I think we should move towards just calling it “grappling” in the end instead of “Judo”, “jiu jitsu”, “Catch Wrestling”, “Shooto”, etc
been 30 years since UFC 1 , that resistance is needed in judo when they drop down and throw them over . yes rorion if you go limp ( rag doll ) half way through the move ,you will land on top of them . throws the judo guy off ,, and for a split second he doesnt know what happened , your suppose to be at my head not on top of me ,, your father did an excellent move there by going limp .

Every time The Gracies tells this story. Helio gets 10 kgs smaller and Kimura gets 100kgs bigger lol
