About this instructor:

Relson Gracie is a member of the legendary Gracie family. He currently lives in Hawaii where he still teaches Gracie Jiu-Jitsu at his academy in Honolulu.

Master Gracie is the second oldest son of Helio Gracie, who along with Carlos Gracie, is credited for innovating the Jiu-Jitsu taught by Mitsuyo “Count Koma” Maeda into what is now known as Gracie or "Brazilian" Jiu Jitsu. After beginning his studies in the art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu at the age of two, he began competing at the age of ten, and earned his black belt when he was 18. He went 22 years undefeated as the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu National Champion.

Master Gracie has over 40 associations that he regularly visits across the US and internationally and the list is growing rapidly. As a result, 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.

Although Relson’s techniques are deeply rooted in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, as taught to him by his father, his personal style has focused on “street effective” techniques. As such, he has developed a Jiu-Jitsu designed for defending yourself in a survival situation where there are no rules.
