Ralph Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) - Bend

Ralph Gracie Jiu Jitsu - Bend is a martial arts school owned by Paul Moresi, a black belt under Ralph Gracie in San Francisco. The school teaches Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a martial art that originated in Brazil and is based on the techniques of Japanese Jiu Jitsu. The school's history dates back to when Carlos Gracie Sr. traveled to Japan to train with Misuyo Maeda, and later adapted the martial art for smaller practitioners as a self-defense technique. Ralph Gracie, Great Grandson of Carlos, is teaching in San Francisco, and Paul Moresi received his black belt directly from Ralph, and is the first and only Gracie Black Belt in Oregon.
