Rickson on how to learn the philosophy of true Gracie jiu-jitsu

"When someone begins to explore a new field of knowledge, they’re usually full of enthusiasm, but completely unaware of how much they don’t know or understand yet. They’re confident about their new knowledge and believe that they can make sense of new information quickly.

"On the other hand, if a person continues to obtain in-depth knowledge in the same field, they slowly realise how vast the field actually is. The more they learn, the more they are humbled by how much they don’t know. Hence, real experts are often hesitant about making definitive statements."

Being humble will get you far. So here's a video of Rickson Gracie answering a question from a humble student who, having just started out, wanted to learn the philosophy and tradition of true Gracie jiu-jitsu passed on from Hélio, Rickson's father.

Such a legendary figure he’s like a modern day Achilles. He reminds of the last spoken lines in Troy ."If they ever tell my story, let them say I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die.

Let them say I lived in the time of Hector tamer of horses. Let them say, I lived in the time of Achilles."

As a big powerful guy ( 5’11. 270lbs) what GM Rickson just said is so true. You’ve GOT to focus on technique. Pretend you weigh 130. Once your technique is good, the weight will become a REAL advantage

Full of wisdom. I hope jiu jitsu starts bringing back the importance of self defense.

Honestly, the last thing I do to complete 'My MAP' is Kyokushin Karatekai. First I do err adieu is Jiu Jitsu and of course Ninjutsu.
Remember, the permutation of processing making a spirit/wine is the honey in the bottle.

Try to not hide information and teach your students to be three times better than you like Renzo and perhaps they could maybe do that Diller this is the part that’s not talked about maybe it’s changed I sure hope so, but not under my watch

[DanielRodriguez-cvxb]

The only thing that I don't like about rickson gracie is that he discourages himself

[ardi]

Rickson is great although his cult followers are insanely dogmatic and annoying!

[brunoricardo]

Rickson foi bom lutador de Jiu Jitsu, mas uma pena sempre fugir das lutas contra Sakuraba, Ruas, Coleman e outros.

[jorenzartserestauracoes]

late to retract and recognize that the only truth is: ONLY JESUS ​​SAVES! (While there is life, there is hope!) It is time to open your eyes and face reality. God does not share His glory with anyone! The author of the phrase "only jiu-jitsu saves" is going through serious health problems. May GOD bless him! It is sad to see the sycophants around him insisting that this paraphrase is irrelevant, as if they were above the spiritual consequences that it entails. You do not mess with GOD! GOD does not allow himself to be mocked; we must repent and truly live!
