Relson Gracie
Instructor
Relson Gracie, 8th degree Red-Black belt, and was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil into the largest family involved in sports, the Gracie Family.
The second oldest son of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Grandmaster Helio Gracie, was aptly named as he was quickly became known in and out of the family as a fierce competitor and ferocious fighter.
Professor Helio directed his never ending energy into competition at the age of 10 and Relson became and remained a champion for 22 years! After feeling that he had nothing more to prove in competition, Relson handed the reigns over to his brother Rickson to maintain the Gracie family's championship streak. Relson then focused on building champions. After staying briefly in Monterey, California, Relson traveled to Hawaii, which reminded him so much of Brazil that he made Hawaii his home back in 1987. Since that time, Relson has accomplished his goal by creating numerous Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world and state champions through his vast network of Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Associations across the world. However, there is no rest for Relson as he is constantly building the next generation of champions!
