There is a Jiu-Jitsu lineage in Brazil that did not come from the Gracie Family.

Oswaldo Fadda (deceased) learned it from Luis França Filho, who learned directly from Mitsuo Maeda (Count Koma). In 1954 Fadda took his students to Helio Gracie's Academy for an open competition.

In the end, Helio was impressed with their techniques and declared that Jiu-Jitsu was "nobody's property".

Fadda's top student is Deoclecio Paulo (Master Deo), who is active in teaching in Brasilia, the country's capital. Deo's team, although small in numbers, is famous for winning many competitions around the country.

Shouldn't this have been posted under the Martial Arts History thread? Or did you not have a non-portugese source? Here's one:

According to this he was taught by Luiz Franco who was taught by Carlos Gracie Sr.

Luiz França Filho (Oswaldo Fadda's Instructor), was taught directly by Mitsuo Maeda and not by Carlos Gracie Sr.

I found a website with this information in English :

Yeah I read that in that gigantic Master Text book by Simco.
But thats all before Rorian went insane, trademarked Gracie Jiu Jitsu and cut everyone out of history not named Helio.

From the link:

"Vivo do Jiu-Jitsu, o qual, para mim, é uma religião, mas admiro o Judô. Só não admiro seus maus
praticantes, como os maus praticantes de qualquer outro esporte, porque todo esporte é bom, útil e bonito
quando praticado por atletas verdadeiros. Quanto a Judô e Jiu-Jitsu, só vejo diferença nas regras."

Translation:
I live jiu-jitsu, which, for me, is a religion, nut I admire Judo.
I just don't admire their bad practioners, just like any bad practioner of any sport, because every sport is good, useful and beautiful, when its practised by true athletes.
As for Judo and jiu-jitsu, I see the only diference being the rules.

what's that?

Oswaldo Fadda, isn't that the guy who said that Brazilian Ju Jitsu should be called Brazillian Judo. And is Portugese just spanish with wierd spelling and characters? Also I can +1 all the people I've heard of with Oswaldo as a 1st name I think the count is up to 8.
Edit: I'm wrong it was this guy, Kastriot “George” Mehdi, it was in this thread though.
