That really was awesome. I really enjoyed it. It is amazing how many lives were affected by this man. Imagine if instead of making his way to another country rather than Brazil what might have happened? No Carlos Gracie teaching, no Helio to adapt the techniques to assist him in his weakened state, no need to issue the Gracie challenge, no need for Rorion to design the UFC to prove the effectiveness of the art. No MMA as we know it!

How different all our lives would be not just the famous BJJ competitors. Think of all the people across the world who have used BJJ to help change their lifestyle, fitness habits, used the Gracie Diet, used BJJ in a self defence situation, made a living from teaching BJJ?

I find that kind of thing Facinating. Like how one little decision one man makes can affect the course of the worlds history just by where he decides to visit. I heard one time talking about life like a golf swing, when the club hits the ball it'll go one direction bit if you make the tiniest adjustment and strike the ball at a slight change of angle you can end up in a completely different place.

Amazing!

A sixteenth of an inch at the muzzle can mean 10 feet of difference down range.  Very true how the slightest difference can change a whole lot down the road.
