Helio Gracie has passed on to the big tatami mat in the sky. The man who has been the driving force behind BJJ / Gracie Jiujitsu for as long as I can remember passed away today. His family spawned a revolution in the martial arts, and I offer my condolences to his family, students, friends and fans. Thank you for reintroducing us to the importance of the ground game, and rest in peace.
