Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, luta livre and Vale Tudo:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu originated in Brazil in the 1910s, and emphasizes ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and chokeholds. Gracie Jiu Jitsu became known internationally in the 1990s, due to the very skilled fighters in the Gracie family, namely Helio Gracie, Royce Gracie and Rickson Gracie, which are also responsible for spreading the practice of Vale tudo, meaning "anything goes", seen today in mixed martial arts tournaments such as PRIDE, DREAM and the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Many Brazilian fighters have became significant figures in various mixed martial art tournaments abroad, including these three, and caused "Wimbledon effects" with their domination. Some notable Brazilian fighters in these tournaments include Anderson Silva, Wanderlei Silva, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Vitor Belfort, Mauricio Rua, Ricardo Arona, and Lyoto Machida. Helio Gracie had a rather small build and changed Jiu-Jitsu (that came from Japan) to be used by anyone in a real fight situation. The belt progression goes in the following order: White, Blue, Purple, Brown, Black, Red-black, Red.
