Helio Gracie Interview - 24 Oct 2005
In the world of martial arts there is no doubt that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
owes a lot to the name of Helio Gracie. Trying to draw a genealogical
tree of his family is a big work.. Counting the number of children,
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great nephews and nieces, who
have inherited the name "Gracie", it is estimated that the enormous
clan of Helio Gracie, the sole living patriarch of the family, today
with 88 years old, reaches the mark of 150 people. "I don't know even
half of them." He himself attributes to the creation of the techniques
that revolutionized jiu-jitsu and brought his family not only a lot of
money, but also success and fame too.

Helio Gracie Interview by Nishi Yoshinori - 14 Oct 2005
Helio Gracie reveals the true story behind his epic battle with Kimura Masahiko.
Interview by Nishi Yoshinori
Nishi Yoshinori participated in a seminar held one day before UFC 3 in Charlotte. What drew an attention there was Helio Gracie who was teaching Nishi with care. On September, 15, 1994, four days later since then, Nishi visited Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy owned by Rorion in Los Angeles. Helio, who postponed his return to Brazil in expectation of his visit, was waiting for him there.
Nishi took a private lesson on the advice of Rorion. When the one-hour training was finished, Helio came to Nishi saying "there is something I want to show you." What was put in front of Nishi were rare pictures of his legendary fight with Kimura Masahiko, the master.
