THE BEGINNINGS OF BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU IN SALVADOR
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the process of formation of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu modality in the city of Salvador, capital of Bahia, between the mid-1980s and 1990s. To this end, we based ourselves on the methodology of Comparative History. We used as main sources interviews with Judo and Jiu-Jitsu masters and senseis from the city of Salvador, as well as articles from the Correio da Bahia newspaper. As a conclusion, we point out that the city had previous experiences with the sport, but it was with the arrival of Charles Gracie and his association with local Judo senseis, that a ballast was built that enabled the development of the sport and the creation of the first Bahian Federation of Jiu-Jitsu.
