Rolles Gracie Jr. was born into the world’s first family of fighting on July 14, 1978 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is the grandson of Carlos Gracie Sr., the founder of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and son of Rolls Gracie, who is widely considered to be the Gracie family’s most legendary Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. Rolles is physically the largest in the history of the Gracie clan, standing at 6′ 4″ and weighing 250 pounds. He is a second-degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a multi-title holding champion, not only BJJ, but also in Judo and submission wrestling.
Rolles began his Jiu-Jitsu training around the same time that he learned to crawl. Working out on the mats with his father, Rolls, was an everyday part of life. Rolles trained with his father through his younger years until Rolls’ tragic and accidental death in 1982.
At the age of six, he began training with his uncle,Rilion Gracie, one of the most technical BJJ practicionaers and coaches. During his early teenage years, Rolles trained at the world-famous Carlos Gracie Jr. Gracie Barra Schoolin Rio de Janeiro. The Gracie Barra School holds the most major titles in the world in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. During this time at Gracie Barra, Rolles also trained with his cousin, Renzo Gracie, world-renowned MMA and BJJ fighter, who has defeated five UFC champions.
