Ever wondered how martial arts like Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu came to be? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle steps away from his usual sobriety tales to dive into the rich history of these combat sports. Boyle begins with a captivating story about a young Japanese boy during the samurai era, whose journey led to the birth of Kodokan Judo.
Trained by various samurai warriors, Kano developed a unique fighting system that combined archery, sword fighting, and hand-to-hand combat. This system eventually made its way to the United States through Carlo Gracie, who taught Jiu Jitsu and spread its popularity. Boyle also explores the story of Helio Gracie, who after being defeated by Kimura, refined the art into what we now know as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
The episode wraps up with a look at Hoist Gracie's victory in the first UFC tournament, which catapulted Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into the limelight in the US. Boyle's engaging storytelling not only entertains but also offers a fresh perspective on the evolution of martial arts. If you're curious about the origins of these fighting styles or just love a good story, this episode is a must-listen.
