Nominated for: BEST Martial Arts
In the early 1900's, a Japanese jiu-jitsu instructor by the name of Esai Maeda went to the state of Para in Northern Brazil. There he befriended Gastao Gracie, an influential businessman, who helped the Japanese get established. To show his gratitude, Maeda, also known as "Count Koma", offered to teach the traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu to Gastao's oldest son, Carlos.
