Zauriel Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Maddwraph, yes, Gracie Family are the ones who created Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. They are pretty important and influential. tufrthanu, I agree about Dan Innosanto. More martial artists to list. Itosu Anko- focused on developing a "safer" brand of Karate. He re-tooled several forms (kata) and eliminated lethal techniques. He also emphasized physical and mental conditioning and promoted the non-corporal benefits of training. Hitsui Maedakama- the Jiu-jitsu instructor and mentor of Gracies. Musashi Miyamato- creator of the Niten Ichi-ryu (two sword style) and the most famous swordmaster of all time. Okuyama Yoshiji- created Hakko-ryu style of Jiu-jitsu. Jean-Joseph Renard and Guy de Montgrillard- the world's first non-Japanese Judo teachers who opened Judo's first Western school in Marseilles, France in 1889. Su In Hyouk- creator of Kuk Sool Won, a Korean martial art which combines external and internal techniques.Source: A book called "The Complete Idiot's to Martial arts."

pineapple Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Royce Gracies' dominance of the first UFCs certainly influenced me to seek out a BJJ school to add groundfighting to my training. What works works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Warlock Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 The UFCs, as a whole, were affirmation for me, after having argued for at least a decade prior about the errors of test tube training and the lack of respect stand-up arts had to groundbased systems such as wrestling.
