That part of the city was also home for several fighters and instructors of the Gracie Family. The Gracie family members who lived in Barra da Tijuca were Carlos Gracie Jr., Renzo Gracie, Ralph Gracie and Ryan Gracie. Marcio was only 12 years old when he began studying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Carlos Gracie Jr just 2 years after the first Gracie Barra School was founded. Marcio trained extensively and when he reached 15, his master Carlos Gracie Junior invited him to be an assistant instructor at the gym. His hard training paid off and, with an incredible competition record already established, he received his black belt at the age of 19. Within just two years after receiving the black belt Marcio wrote his name in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sport history by winning the first Pan American BJJ games and the Brazilian National Jiu-Jitsu Championship. Feitosa is one of the strongest competitors of his generation winning against fighters like Urijah Faber (currently fighting as a bantamweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship organization), Leonardo Vieira, Vitor Ribeiro, Royler Gracie, Leonardo Santos, Caol Uno, Rumina Sato, Pablo Popovitch, Matt Serra, João Roque and Marcus Aurélio Martins. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Márcio Feitosa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
