Groundgame

outcast by the Gracie family, Fadda opened his own academy on the outskirts of Rio on January 27, 1950. Fadda and his students specialized in foot locks and a year later he issued a challenge to the Gracies in the media. Hellio Gracie and his students accepted the challenge and lost badly! Fadda was the first man to ever have beaten Helio Gracie yet few people know this information. Fadda's linaege continues today in schools like Ground Fight Team, Nova União, Deo Jiu-Jitsu (Deoclecio Paulo) and Equipe Mestre Wilson Jiu-Jitsu (Wilson Pereira Mattos). Groundgame's prime mission is to capture and bring to you the secret techniques and training methodologies from that are used by schools, athletes and associations from around the world that are the descendants of the forgotten BJJ lineage of Luiz Franca and Oswaldo Fadda.
