1920s Quote by Rickson Gracie
“A Japanese diplomat and jujitsu expert, Konde Maeda Kome, came to Brazil in the 1920s and there he met my grandfather, Gaston Gracie, who was also a diplomat. My grandfather then became a student of Kome. He passed the jujitsu on to his sons, and my father Helio, the most creative of the Gracies, took it and made it very effective.”
