Jiu-Jitsu was developed after a dispute between a thief and a billfold owner could not be decided by a fair three-round bout of rock, paper, scissors. Protect yourself and your pocketbook with today's Groupon. For $60, you get a one-month pass to Gracie Combatives classes (a $180 value) at [Gracie Jiu-Jitsu]( located at their headquarters in Northwest Torrance.

Since 1935, over 40 members of the Gracy family, beginning with Grand Master Helio Gracie, have dedicated their lives and their musculature to developing an effective system of street self-defense. Today, the method is preserved and taught to students by the Grand Master's grandsons, instructors Ryron, Raner, and Ralek. Although Grace Jiu-Jitsu consists of over 600 techniques, careful study has revealed that a more manageable 46 of them are the most frequently effective. Originally developed for the Marine Corps, the [Gracie Combatives](

) course is dedicated to these most-popular moves. Consisting of twenty-three one-hour [classes]( the combatives course, like a robotic manservant, starts a new cycle at the beginning of every month, allowing new students to take the classes in the correct order. Since the Grand Master believed that each instructor's effectiveness should be gauged by the progress of his most athletic student, instead of the achievements of his most resilient houseplant, the instructors welcome Groupon subscribers of any age, even without previous experience or Olympic medals.

Unable to convince anyone who had taken high school physics that smaller opponents could repeatedly defeat larger, more athletic challengers, Grand Master Helio's youngest son Rorian created the [Ultimate Fighting Championship]( to show any pay-per-viewer the effectiveness of the method. The sleek entrance, locker room, and cushy red mat of the training floor at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu provide the infrastructure for developing needed for developing road-ready defense tactics before returning be-jeaned to the outside world.
