RIP Grandmaster Helio Gracie

Helio Gracie not only live a nice long life but changed the world of martial arts forever. Very few of us will live as long or impact as much...well done!

RIP

wow, sad day indeed.
RIP Helio.

WOW, sad day in the MMA world.

I know that he has impacted my life a great deal. The way I live, the things I do and the hobbies I have can all be traced back to something I learned because Helio did what he did.

It's a sad day indeed, RIP. May his contributions and accomplishments be remembered by his family and many students and student's students to train in GJJ how he wanted it.

A quote by Helio I read a few months back:
"Why fear death? I don’t need anything, I don’t have anything, I don’t want anything. I think it’s silly for somebody to be scared of dying. One should be afraid of being born. I have already told my children when I die I want a party, with no alcohol, no hell raising [general laughter]. But I want a party with music, food… I don’t know if you guys believe in reincarnation, but we all go and come back until the day we no longer have to return. My brother [Carlos Gracie, already deceased] used to say the fellow only stops returning to Earth when he mingles with the Whole. Even when you’re thinking just a little bit wrongly, you come back to continue evolving. Hell, my friends, is right here on Earth."

I think Helio truly lived by "actions, not words" and say this with the most respect. RIP

Rest in peace Helio...
