I just learned that Helio Gracie passed away today. He was 95 years old. What an icon, huh? Even though I'm just getting into Judo/BJJ, he was certainly an inspiration to me. He maintained a high level of health and a passion for his martial art all the way to the end. I hope I can roll like he did at 95 years old. My sympathy and respect to the Gracie family.

This was a real loss! Helio was another demonstration of what a lifelong commitment to martial arts can provide.
