“At the heart of the Gracie Barra Family’s extraordinary success over the years is our strong philosophy and mission as a group, a foundation which our masters laid many years ago, but is constantly being reinforced by the great people that make our community. Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful art, and we have a vision of how it should be taught as a means for individual development going beyond the competitive realm. To achieve this vision, we must remember to come together as a family, always putting the team in front of (the) individual. For that, we will fight to the end for what we believe is right” GracieMag Jan 2010
Jiu-Jitsu offers a unique opportunity to progress as individuals on many levels. Physical training alone affords us a number of transformational qualities, among them are sheer athleticism, confidence in facing fear, and an intimate relationship to our own movements to name a few. However, in jiu-jitsu these personal feats are not accomplished alone.
In Brazilian jiu-jitsu training, we hold the principle of unity as our constant intention. As individuals we are challenged and many times succeed far beyond expectation. More importantly, we develop as a group, school, team, sport as a whole. This experience of unity that we learn in our training is something to treasure dearly in our era. It is rare and a much needed quality in our modern families, communities, governments, and businesses.
We do not always put these experiences into words but as practitioners, we carry them with us. Training teaches us how to fight with ourselves and each other. It translates well as a metaphor for the daily grappling we encounter in the experience of being human. When we have felt the unity that Master Carlos speaks about, we understand the ultimate in community leadership and have a clear sense of what the original masters hoped for us.
