Hélio Gracie was the first (and only) Gracie to actually use the letter 'H' to pronounce the 'H sound' at the beginning of his name. Somewhere along the Gracie family line, everyone started to use 'R' as the first letter of their name, yet insists that the beginning of their name begin with that infamous silent 'H'. It makes you wonder if Hélio Gracie could be written as 'Rélio Gracie' and still have that 'Ha' sound. I woke up today with that epiphany and the only thing I can think of is the day when someone names their kid 'Randsome Gracie'. Ramburger Gracie would be a good name also.

Rener Gracie thought it would be funny to replace his grappling dummy with a human being, set up a hidden camera in a dark office and record people's reaction when they discovered it was an actual person -- and you know what, Rener was absolutely right. Check out this video of Rener punking everyone inside the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu academy with this elaborate prank. [Source]

Hah this is funny the video i mean and the fact that i actually thought about getting a SVL and then to see Rener with one in the header seems like he knows his guns.
For those who dont know... its a pretty badass rifle maybe the best today but its custom made by rather small russian manufacturer, who mainly supply russian special forces and sports-shooters , and not very well known outside of russia (or at least what i thought)
I guess even gracies have to come up with jitsu for a distance of 2.3 km yet

Zeus, Helio is pronounced without the 'H', like "ehlio".

Almost every time someone got pranked, all's you hear is a scream and a big bleep! Also, they should have put a camera on the far right corner so they would have captured the face reactions! Oh well, still a great video...very creative at the end lol wtf!
