The UFC was seen as an event for fighters to promote their fighting style ands show the world what martial art is truly dominant. The first UFC event was in the year 1993, and Rorion's younger brother Royce Gracie took part. Royce had been much smaller than all the other competitors, but despite his frame he was able to dominate all three fights that night. Royce's victorious performance then attracted many martial artists, especially in America, and eventually the whole world. The Gracie triangle is considered by some to be the symbol of Jiu-Jitsu, and can be traced back to the very first Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) academies which were operated by Carlos and Hélio Gracie. The triangle symbol came into existence when the two brothers Carlos and Hélio were photographed demonstrating a specific technique. The way their bodies were shaped during the demonstration formed a perfect triangle. This same photograph was later used as the cover of the very first book written by Carlos Gracie, and featured detailed information about fundamental attacks and defenses in BJJ. The triangle then became much more than just a symbol of the Gracie family. Each side of the triangle symbolized an element of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Those elements are mind, body, and spirit, the components that a BJJ athlete should adopt. Notable members of the Brazilian Gracie family include:
