Hélio Gracie's Shocking 11th-Floor Trust Story 🤯

Hélio Gracie's Shocking 11th-Floor Trust Story 🤯

From CMJJ Headquarters

October 21, 2026

“Tell me to jump… and I'll jump.” 😳

An unforgettable Gracie family story about trust, loyalty, and the bond between father and son.

In Episode 32 of Coffee Time with Carlos Machado, UFC legend Royce Gracie and Carlos Machado discuss an extraordinary story involving someone putting a leg outside an 11th-floor window to demonstrate just how deeply they trusted another person.

Carlos reacts with disbelief as they imagine the response: “Hold on! Come back here. Let's talk about it!” 😂

The conversation leads Royce to reflect on the profound trust he shared with his father, Hélio Gracie.

Beyond the shocking story is a deeper conversation about family bonds, confidence, and the influence of the people who shape our lives.

This is a story about trust, not an example to imitate.

☕ Episode 32 with Royce Gracie is OUT NOW!

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
