In the early 1990s several members of the Gracie family, the sons of Helio Gracie, propelled Brazilian jiu-jitsu to worldwide fame as the result of their many victories in different no-holds-barred (NHB) contests (in NHB competition, basically any part of the opponent's body may be attacked except the groin and the back of the head).
一九九○年代初期，艾里奧格雷西的幾個兒子，在幾次「無限制格鬥大賽」（NHB，一種比賽方式，除了下陰和後腦外，基本上可以任何方式攻擊對方身體的任何部分）中獲得勝利，巴西柔術因此聞名世界。
