In this film, Bruce (Edward Norton) learns to control his anger partially through martial arts training. The martial arts instructor who (with Bruce's permission) slaps him a couple times during training, is played by renowned Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Grandmaster Rickson Gracie, whose family were the founders of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. In Brazil, it is called: "Gracie Jiu-jitsu". However, his role is named in the credits as an "Aikido Instructor." Aikido is a soft-style martial art, where practitioners use techniques to redirect their attacker's momentum against them, without harming themselves. However, Jiu-jitsu is a hard-style martial art, and Bruce demonstrates its "shoot" takedown technique with his attacker, during the factory and street chase scene.
