Posted in Sports on August 6th, 2010 by Dr. Michael Pritsker, DC – 4 CommentsEveryone wants to know a good secret. This is especially true when it comes to a back ache relief secret. But the question is can you keep a secret? I hope not, because the secret I’m about to reveal should be shouted from the mountaintops. Here’s why. Have you ever heard of ultimate fighter?” With its sudden rise in popularity, you probably have. And I bet many still think it’s some ultraviolent bar-room brawl with sadistic, blood-thirsty fans.
That opinion may have been justified many years ago when the legendary Gracie family first started The Ultimate Fighting Championship in the United States. At that time, the Gracie family believed their brand of martial arts dubbed Gracie Jiu-jitsu to be unbeatable. They were well known in Brazil for The Gracie Challenge. As the legend has it, one of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu’s originators, Hellio Gracie, often ran newspaper ads in Rio De Janeiro requesting anyone who wanted broken arms, legs and ribs to simply show up at his marital arts academy! They were obviously trying to prove a point.
Shortly after coming to America, one of Hellio’s many sons’, Rorion, sent shock waves through the martial arts world by announcing he would fight any person to the death for $100,000 in an early 90’s magazine dialogue. Rorion was also the mastermind behind the original Ultimate Fighting Championship that rutted fighters from many different fighting styles against each other with basically no rules in a fenced-in cage called the octagon. The Graicies wanted to prove to the world their fighting style was the best. And after Rorion’s skinny little brother, Royce, quickly dismantled all his opponents. Some of them outweighed him by over 100 pounds. They had proven their point.
