Gracie jiu jitsu is supposed to be a more defensive style geared towards real fights with no time limits. In order to be able to carry out the mandate, Monson had to give up his American citizenship in accordance with Russian law. Even though he taught classes regularly at the Torrence academy when growing up, Ryron Gracie still managed to compete oftenin jiu-jitsu, including against his own cousin, Crosley Gracie, in 2001 as a brown belt, a fight that lasted 90 minutes and ended with Crosley giving up due to a knee injury. It was impressive. /*
