<br></br>Dr. Erik "Eazy" Shimane at Diamond Head Chiropractic has been taking care of me for the past few months with great results and I promised to give him a plug to see if anyone else on the team needed chiropractic care.

He used to grapple a bit so he understands the stress we put our bodies through from jiu-jitsu. He also has package deals and student discounts. He's located next to Punchbowl Fender on Waialae Ave. in Kaimuki.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.dhchi.com/">http://www.dhchi.com</a><br/><br/>P.S. - I also go to Team HK brown belt Brian Wong for my massages.

It is with deep sadness that I have to announce that the Master of Masters, the founder of gracie Jiu-Jitsu Grandmaster Helio Gracie<br />
has passed. The Grandmaster is survived by his wife Vera, sons Rorion, Relson, Rickson, Royler, Royce and Robin and daughters Rherika<br />
and Ricci his grandkids and the Gracie family and a family of disciples all practitioners of the art he loved .<br />
<br />
at this time I am at a loss of words as words are not enough to describe the greatness of this man who not only developed a martial art<br />
but along with his family fought to spread the word of its efficiency to the 4 corners of the World. As a disciple, fan and someone who<br />
has had the priviledge of sharing the wisdom of the Grandmaster I can only say that we will all miss him dearly and he will live in<br />
spirit forever in all who practice and love this art.<br />
<br />
A somber Royler put it perfectly: "He influenced all of us for the better, continues to affect and will continue to affect so many forever!"<br />

Helio Gracie, the father of Gracie jiu-jitsu, is dead at the age of 95. Gracie passed in his sleep early Thursday in Itaipaiva, Rio de Janeiro, after he had been admitted to a local hospital a few days prior for stomach problems.<br />
<br />
“He passed the way he always wanted to –- quick and fast,” said an immediate relative, who asked not to be identified. The relative said Gracie’s body would be buried on Thursday.<br />
<br />
The youngest of Cesalina and Gastao Gracie’s eight children, he learned traditional jiu-jitsu by watching his brother, Carlos, teach it, but his small frame made it difficult for him to execute the moves. As a result, he adapted techniques to fit his limited physical ability and gave rise to modern-day Brazilian jiu-jitsu.<br />
<br />
Gracie was involved in two legendary fights. He lost to Masahiko Kimura -- a man who outweighed him by some 40 pounds -- in 1951 when Carlos threw in the towel after Kimura broke Gracie’s arm with the shoulder lock that now bears his name. Four years later, Gracie fought former student Valdemar Santana for nearly four hours before losing.<br />
<br />
His impact on the sport of mixed martial arts was profound. His son, Rorion, was credited with developing the concept that became the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and another of his sons, Royce, won the first two UFC tournaments in 1993 and 1994. Two other sons, Rickson and Royler, also competed in MMA.<br />
<br />
Gracie is survived by his wife Vera; his sons Rickson, Royler, Rolker, Royce, Relson, Robin and Rorion; his daughters Rerika and Ricci, as well as numerous siblings, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.
