No they didn't. Guard already existed in Judo, only that it wasn't used with often.

 

Gracies modified Ju-Jitsu from Maeda to make it work for weak persons (Helio is a weak man), and focuses it more in ground fighting, they developed some new techniques from all positions, but positions like itself almost all were already created.

But you said:

 

"nothing is new it is just modified. Unless you have 3 arms and three legs."

 

"so basically out of the whole art you are saying only the spider guard and the sweeps that you can do from it, are the only thing that the gracies invented."

 

you're contradicting yourself :D

 

Gracies took Ju-Jitsu from Maeda and adapted it to weak persons can use it, and it can be usefull to Brazil's street fights, and, like it's always evolutioning, each time more people invent more things.

no I was trying to understand what you were saying. In my opinion they took the guard that you said was from judo and tweeked it and came up with the spider guard. So the original guard was looked at as a basic technique and they applied some modifications and created a different technique. in a way it is new but it still came from something old.

 

People do this all the time and say they invinted something never seen before, but I say once you reach a certain level you can tweek a move on the spot to apply it many ways, even if it looks different that the original move.
