Founder

​

The Gracie’s are confident that they have created the best form of self defense in the world, and as a result they have been constantly tested by countless individuals ranging from martial arts masters to street fighters in the mean streets of Brazil. Relson was more than happy to not only defend the family name, but also prove the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

​

Relson’s ferocious fighting style quickly garnered him the reputation that, of all the Gracie’s, he was the last one you wanted to test yourself against. 

​

​

Today, Relson Gracie has over 40 associations that he regularly visits across the US and internationally and is growing rapidly.

​

 

​Because of this, he has traveled the world and taught his style of Jiu-Jitsu to a wide range of students, including local law enforcement, the U.S. Military, Secret Service, D.E.A., and F.B.I., in addition to individuals who simply sought mental and physical improvement.
