Mada Jiu-Jitsu’s lineage starts from the very top with one of the founders of Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Carlos Gracie. Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was developed in Brazil in the early 1900s where Carlos learned from the great Japanese Judo champion, Mitsuyo Maeda. Carlos Gracie claimed to have fought anyone who was willing, regardless of size, weight, or fighting style.
Carlos Gracie Jr is the founder International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF), which runs multiple jiu-jitsu tournaments around the world, including the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship, Pan American Championship and European Championship. He is a co-founder of the Gracie Barra team. He would have Papa John Gorman become Executive Director of the Gracie Barra organization.
Adam would eventually reach Papa John Gorman who would move from Gracie Barra and become a founding member of USA Jiu-Jitsu. Papa John Gorman will eventually team up with Gilson Fernandes who would assist in Adam’s development.
After founding Mada Krav Maga and Jiu-Jitsu, Adam would be promoted to black belt under Papa John Gorman. Now under the lineage of Carlos Gracie, Carlos Gracie Jr, Papa John Gorman, and Now Adam Munzing. Adam now is looking forward to helping continue the lineage with Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
