"The biography of Rickson Gracie, of the famous Gracie clan. If nothing else, his story is surprising peak into how the Gracie’s became to be. Known for creating Gracie Jui-Jitsu, their family was very unorthodox. In a lot of ways, they were modern day Spartans. Certainly not a story or life without its blemishes but we are just not the far removed from the days in which true Martial Arts were a way of living and in a lot of ways, we could use that mindset more than ever."
