Thank you Helio Gracie for inventing leverage and creating the first and best way for the small and weak such as Royce to win fights.

They didn't invent grappling but if they didn't invent vale tudo/mma, I would probably think that judo is an overcomplicated bullshido and wrestling is just a rough and tumble play

Gene levell choked out Milo savage in 1963 he proved judo’s capability against strikers and competed in a mixed martial arts match before Royce was even born. Quit being retarded.

Damn near every high school in America already had a wrestling team and judo was already the national sport of Japan. Get Helios cock out of your mouth.
