The 2nd oldest son of Helio Gracie, Relson Gracie moved to Hawaii in 1988. He began competing at the tender age of 10 and learning jiu-jitsu at even a younger age of 2 years old. He was the Brazilian National Jiu-Jitsu Champion for 22 years straight, undefeated. During this time he became so popular with the crowds that he attained the nickname "Campeao" or "Champion", among his friends and fans. Upon his arrival to Honolulu, it was with great pleasure that Relson got to introduce the art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to the aloha state. Now retired from competing, Relson continues to enjoy teaching classes in Hawaii and has become quite fond of the island life.
