By now, you probably know about my father's style of Jiu-Jitsu. If not, you can find a full description of my family's history and martial art at roycegracie.tv. Right now though, you are on the website of my friend and student, Jim Hughes. Jim is doing a great job sharing my father's jiu jitsu all over the map in Connecticut and Mass. You might be wondering about how to get started in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. You begin the same way I did . . . just show up and then keep showing up and training. It is that simple. It's a way of life for me and my family, its in my blood, I love it, and I am happy to share it with the help of Jim and our students in CT, MA. I highly recommend that you go down to one of our schools in Connecticut or Massachusetts. Meet Jim and the guys and you will see what I am talking about. Connecticut is a great place to train, and I travel there as often as I can. Jim is always cooking up something new to help our students. Check out the expanding class schedule. I will look forward to seeing you on the mat next time I am in New England. If what you are doing anywhere in life makes sense, keep at it and dont give up. When things get harder they will eventually get easyier if you just stick with it! " -Royce Gracie
