Gracie Gift: Legit or BS

Gracie Gift: Legit or BS

From Mastery Jiu-Jitsu

Is the Gracie gift a terrible idea? Are you going to get triangled if you attempt to pass the guard this way? Is it useful only against people who don't know Jiu-Jitsu?

In this video I go over the popular Gracie gift technique and will show you some details to use it even against a trained Jiu-Jitsu person without getting triangled.

Let me know if you use it or if you don't because you always end up getting choked with the triangle.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
