This limited edition book is the original PORTUGEUSE version of the very popular Carlos Gracie Sr biography written by Reila Gracie (mother of Roger). This book was only available for one year before selling out and is now extremely rare to find on the secondhand market.

When released, this publication created quite a stir in the BJJ community for all of the family stories that Reila shared. Some stories were favorable for the Gracies, and some not!
