About
The Ultima, Tucson
The Jiu-Jitsu style has been around for centuries. Originating in India more than 2,000 years ago, it spread through China and eventually settled in Japan. In 1914, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu champions, Esai Maeda and Inomata arrived in Brazil to assist the Japanese immigration colony. They were aided by Gastao Gracie, a scholar and politician of Scottish decent. To show Maeda’s gratitude, the oriental master taught secrets of that ancient fighting style to Gastao’s son, Carlos Gracie. Jiu-Jitsu which translates into "gentle art", shows to be the most efficient in realistic combat. Based on leverages, choke holds and various sweeps, it combines the effectiveness of training with true knowledge of self-defense.
