Gracie Jiu-Jitsu gained great notoriety when the Gracie family started the Ultimate Fighting Championships in 1993 as a means of showcasing to the world that their grappling style of martial art was superior to all of the traditional and modern martial arts being practiced at that time. As a result of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu's success in reality fighting matches, it has become a “must have” art for preparing individuals for personal self defense, MMA competition, and military hand-to-hand combat. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is traditionally taught with a gi and has seven adult belt ranks (white, blue, purple, brown, black, red & black, and red) and 4 youth ranks (white, yellow, orange, and green).
