Helio Gracie instructional

Lesson One
That should be familiar with anyone who practices JJJ. All of the same techniques are there. Heh, there used to be a member here that said that BJJ didn't use kata.
Heh.
Lesson Two
Again, more judo and jujutsu techniques. This stuff is coming straight from various kata lists I've practiced. Is Helio claiming to have invented this? I've nothing against Helio or the Gracies. I love the art. However, that claim is a tad disingenuous isn't it?
I'll watch more of this when I have more time, but thus far 3, 4, and 5 have been more of the same.

Nice clip!
BJJ has never claimed to be anything but A offshoot of Judo.
If you look at the star wars-esque beginning of this video, they claim that Helio developed these techniques.
On a second look, I didn't see it either, so I was mistaken.

I have a few of the tapes from the Gracie's Basics Intermediates and Advanced series, and what I enjoy watching is this 80ish year old man do that stuff. It says a lot about BJJ training. Especially considering Helio admits he is not majorly athletic. I have a lot of respect for Helio.
Me too, I hope to still be able to train when I am into my 90's
