The primary focus of Carlson Gracie London is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This highly effective martial art was created by Carlos Gracie in the early 20th century from the teaching of Judo master Mitsuo Maeda and was developed into a fighting style that stands head and shoulders above all others.The effectiveness of BJJ was demonstrated in the early 1990s when the ultimate fighting championship pitted fighters from different styles against each other with virtually no rules. Time and again it was the grappling style of BJJ that proved to be superior and to this day remains the primary focus for the majority of mixed martial arts champions.
