    PROJETO DE LEI Nº , de 2010. (Do Sr. Dr. Marcelo Itagiba) Declara “O Jiu Jitsu Brasileiro” Patrimônio Esportivo e Cultural Imaterial do Brasil. O Congresso Nacional decreta: Art. 1º Esta Lei tem como objetivo reconhecer a importância cultural e esportiva do “Jiu Jitsu Brasileiro”, originado da arte marcial trazida ao Brasil pelo mestre Mitsuyo Meada e passado a Carlos Gracie, em 1916, que o transmitiu, por meio da família Gracie, ao povo brasileiro. Art. 2º Fica o “Jiu Jitsu Brasileiro” constituído como Patrimônio Esportivo e Cultural Imaterial do Brasil, para todos os efeitos legais. Art. 3º Esta lei entra em vigor na data de sua publicação. JUSTIFICAÇÃO Todo o prestígio do “Jiu Jitsu Brasileiro”, começou quando, no século XIX, mestres de artes marciais japonesas migraram do Japão para outros continentes, vivendo do ensino dessas artes e de lutas que realizavam. Mitsuo Maeda Koma, conhecido como Conde Koma, foi um grande mestre de jiu jutsu e judô da Kodokan, nos primórdios deste, quando ainda era próxima a ligação destas duas artes 1. Depois de percorrer vários países com seu grupo, chegou ao Brasil em 1915 e fixou residência 1 http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiu-Jitsu_brasileiro em Belém do Pará, existindo até hoje nessa cidade a Academia Conde Coma. Um ano depois, conheceu Gastão Gracie. Gastão, que era pai de oito filhos, sendo cinco homens, tornou-se entusiasta da luta e levou seu filho Carlos Gracie para aprender a luta japonesa. Pequeno e frágil por natureza, Carlos encontrou no Jiu-Jitsu o meio de realização pessoal que lhe faltava. Com dezenove anos de idade, transferiu-se para o Rio de Janeiro com a família, sendo professor dessa arte marcial e lutador.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENTS OF HISTORY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES PROGRAM AND LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU IN SALVADOR DE BAHIA, BRAZIL NATHANAEL P. MURPHY Spring 2012 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in HISTORY with interdisciplinary honors in HISTORY and LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES Reviewed and approved* by the following: Solsiree Del Moral Assistant Professor of History Thesis Supervisor Catherine Wanner Professor of History, Anthropology, and Religious Studies Honors Adviser Matthew Restall Professor of Colonial Latin American History, Anthropology, and Women’s Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is both simultaneously a martial art and a competitive sport activity. In historical terms the activity is young, having existed for less than one hundred years. There exists very little in regards to published academic research concerning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This study analyzes the evolution of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into a popular mainstream competitive combat sport and the implications of this on the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community in Salvador de Bahia Brazil. A formal interview with Eduardo dos Santos, a native Bahian black belt, combined with informal interviews with the greater Salvadorian Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community and the author’s own experiences in the spring and summer of 2011 make up much of primary research. In addition the study examines oral and written history of the beginnings of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the early twentieth century and the formation of Team Gracie Barra. It also demonstrates the relationship between Bahian culture, and the popular martial art/dance, capoeira, in relation to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Abstract The author reserves other publication rights, and neither the dissertation nor extensive extracts from it may be printed or otherwise reproduced without the author’s written permission. ii iii Abstract This dissertation examines the transformation of a modernized Japanese school of martial arts, alternatively known as jiu-jitsu or Kodokan judo, into a Brazilian combat sport. It encompasses jiu-jitsu’s introduction in the early 1900s, the creation of a native style in the following decades and its globalization under the hybrid form known as “Brazilian jiu-jitsu.” The adoption of jiu-jitsu in the military is part of a larger project of modernization conceived by the Brazilian elite aiming to provide the emergent middle-classes with innovative fitness trends. Around the World War I, however, a branch of the Gracies, a Scottish cum Rio de Janeiro family with genteel pretensions, joined a troupe of Japanese martial artists and adopted jiu-jitsu as part of their circus act.

  • “The Gracie Legend”: an Analysis of Nelson Rodrigues's Chronicle
    “The Gracie Legend”: an analysis of Nelson Rodrigues’s chronicle Riqueldi Straub Lise* Natasha Santos** André Mendes Capraro*** Abstract: This research aims to analyze one of the first sports chronicles written by Nelson Rodrigues and published in the newspaper Ultima Hora. The author speaks about a “challenge” between Jiu-jitsu athletes Carlson Gracie and Waldemar Santana in 1955. That chronicle – marked by literary aesthetics and language typical of Rodriguean theater – stresses a discourse on the Gracies family’s tradition as creators and disseminators of Jiu-jitsu in Brazil. In order to analyze the work, we will use some concepts of literary analysis, based on Antonio Candido and Carlo Ginzburg. Keywords: Jiu-jitsu. Literature. Sports chronicle. 1 INTRODUCTION Rio de Janeiro, Saturday, October 8, 1955, Ultima Hora ran the following headline on its front page: “Juscelino Kubitschek consolidates his victory”. It referred to the final moments of vote counting for that year’s presidential election. Below, another headline of similar size showed pictures of three athletes with the following words: Three fighters; three fates – These are three famous figures of Brazilian “Jiu-jitsu”. Super champion Hélio bears on his face the marks of the defeat that rocked Brazil’s sports. __________________ *PhD candidate in Physical Education. Federal University of Paraná. Curitiba, PR.
