Is the Gracie style considered the best currently?


In the time when MMA was growing I certainly would agree that nothing could touch the Gracie's. They took advantage of a lack of grappling knowledge in a fighting world that was focused more on Muay Thai and boxing.

I would say that the current elites use a blend of boxing, Muay Thai and jujitsu. In fact it seems very similar to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

As per the original post if I were starting MMA I would start with Jujitsu and Gracie's style is certainly a good place to start.
