The Gracies, to be honest, had disagreements within the family to begin with, when it came to teaching and opening gyms up.
However, they did band together in proclaiming young Eddie Bravo, a Jean Jacques Machado black belt was completely going against the idea of Jiu-Jitsu. He really did poke them, first discarding the Gi, and then starting to name things his own way. The fact that he enjoyed smoking weed and later on, introducing completely new positions mostly based on wrestling had the Gracies livid.
Eddie Bravo, though, handled things perfectly. He did his thing, presenting lots of evidence on why the stuff he was experimenting with made sense. From the rubber guard to the Twister , Bravo demonstrated that the old school ways are not the only ways of training and learning Jiu-Jitsu. In fact, he was one of the most important creative sparks that launched the evolution of BJJ, something that has never stopped and will keep going strong.
That and he did open the door for No-Gi in more ways than one throughout the years. The inception of 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu was never something that came about with lots of thought beforehand.
A young musician trying to make it onto the music scene, Bravo stumbled across BJJ as many people did in the 90s — after watching the UFC. Already a fan of martial arts some experience in wrestling and of course, the mandatory Karate for the time , his curiosity about Jiu-Jitsu was sparked. Himself a very creative and innovative instructor, Machado fueled Bravo to experiment with Jiu-Jitsu and question the established techniques and protocols.
Yet, he thrived in BJJ, finding a way around the traditional Gi grips and making it work for himself.
