Com chocolate, Vol.. 2 (Link de afiliado da Amazon), Roberto Pedreira retoma a história do Jiu-Jitsu brasileiro naquele que considera seu apogeu no Brasil, 1950 – 1960.

Li recentemente Choque: A história não contada do Jiu-Jitsu no Brasil, Volume 1 by Roberto Pedreira (Link de afiliado da Amazon), que conta uma história alternativa do início do Jiu-Jitsu que já foi contada em diversas entrevistas com membros da Família Gracie. “Choque” traduz para “chocante” em português brasileiro.

My daughter asked me the other day if I had seen any of the Olympic Judo. She was surprised when I told her I had not. Besides being a black belt in Taekwondo, I’m a brown belt in Judo. Like both my sons, Caity trained in both TKD and Judo as well. However, Não gosto das considerações políticas feitas
When I earned my 1st Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo during December 2005 at Willow Martial Arts, I had already studied Judo for three months. My instructor, Master Pat Weseman, is a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Judo as well as a 6th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo. With this background, a number of our self-defenses were Judo based, so I
