This gym became the place where Luiz França started his life as a martial artist. Satake would also become a Brazilian citizen years later, and change his name to Antônio Soshihiro Satake.”
“Antigo aluno de Soishiro Satake e Mitsuyo Maeda, Luiz França foi o fundador da linhagem (não pertencente à família Gracie) de mais sucesso no Jiu-Jitsu, uma linhagem continuada especialmente através do trabalho efetuado pelo mais proeminente e capaz aluno de França, o Mestre Oswaldo Fadda, que mais tarde formaria a sua própria escola de talentosos alunos.”
