He is the son of Hélio Gracie, one of the founders of BJJ. • UFC Pioneer: Royce won UFC 1, 2, and 4, defeating much larger and stronger opponents using technique, leverage, and submissions. His victories shocked the martial arts world and proved the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in real fights. • Style: He uses Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, a self-defense focused system of BJJ that emphasizes leverage, positioning, and submissions over brute strength or striking. • Impact: Royce’s performances helped spark the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) boom and made BJJ an essential discipline in modern MMA training. • Instructor & Legacy: Today, Royce continues to teach, promote Gracie Jiu-Jitsu worldwide, and represent the original self-defense roots of the art, emphasizing real-world application over sport competition.
