"Death is the only certainty we have when we are born and therefore we should be more prepared to accept it." The weight and wisdom in those words can be felt.
When henzo started crying about losing hyan that made me cry so hard. I lost my younger brother in 2012. I was not there to save him. I was in San Diego at the time helping my grandparents. Road rage insident that escalated in a parking lot. Wasn't even his fault. The guy beat my brother almost too death. He died a week later from brain trauma. At the time I was a purple belt, and have been boxing for 15 years. His death makes me cry all the time. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you bro. I would have never let that happen. I got so depressed I stopped rolling for many years. About two years ago I just started rolling again. This has inspired me too roll even harder. Sorry for your loss master henzo. Rip hyan gracie 🙏
I have had the pleasure of knowing Renzo Gracie my Sensei Paul Opie Fahey is a Matt Serra black belt , and thus you see the connection. When I trained my 1st time at his main academy in NYC , he knew I was coming to meet him. From the second I met him, he made me feel like no one else in the world mattered to him at the moment we had our blessed fellowship. 2 things I will never forget for the rest of my life with my encounters with this beautiful person. #1 , when he 1st met me as a token of friendship he gave me as a gift my very 1st GI, a official Renzo Gracie competition GI , and #2 one time I took his No-gi class that he happened to teach that day and seeing I was pretty gassed rolling Renzo says, "Rich take a break", I said "no" and kept going, less then 30 seconds back rolling again , I rear naked choked my partner right in front of the master , something I will never forget ! 😀 . to finish up this comment Renzo Gracie is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met 😀
Who knows maybe some people gave it a thumbs down because they didn’t like the director or narrator or whoever asking Renzo about his brother, and the camera guy continuing to film. I respect Renzo for having the courage and strength for talking about it. Especially with tears. It’s a thumbs up without a question in my mind. Master Renzo is a humble legend
There's just so much strength in him. He suffered a great personal loss, and despite his pain, he still speaks with the conviction of someone who believes that jiujitsu, life, death, and family all mean something really, really profound.
I'm lucky to have my brother and I couldn't imagine if anything ever happened to him. Master Renzo you're the best. God bless you and Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
"Time was something invented by men, but in reality we measure life by the intensity that we live, and considering that Ryan outlive as all, because nobody live with more intensity than him". Beautiful and full of wisdom words, I always keep that in mind. I'm sure Renzo is a great brother.
touching...i understand him very well...cuz i lost my sister 1 year ago and she was everything to me...and the hardest thing was that i must go on further...
The stories about Ryan are pretty much all true but I don’t think any of the people he got in scrapes with were angels either. But he was also a very kind and generous person. I saw him not long before he dies & he looked so good. He dropped a lot of weight, was clean & so excited about the birth of his child. I was so hopeful for him. He was like a cat with 9 lives but in his case it was more like 100. I thought he’d live forever.
Bobby Razak hahahah Bozak. Bobby - I've been rocking out your video -I am from the Underground - if you want to know who I am , send me a message on here. Awesome work. I've been pumping your video to everyone. I train at Renzo's and every contact in my phone is texting each other about this video. You did it man. Thanks
I lost my brother in 2012. I felt his pain and cried hard. I'm now a purple belt and my life is changed. JIU-JITSU has truly changed my life. Damn this hit me hard!!!! I'm sorry master Renzo! I know your pain my man.
I feel your pain brother!!As I lost my brother the pain can’t be put to words but we will all be together again I know that’s for sure much love peace and respect roll to the end Obrigado!!!
“How did it feel for you when your brother Ryan passed?”. A better question to ask the interviewer would be “how did it feel to ask such a stupid fucking question?”
A truly tough guy, a warrior has no problem crying & showing his emotions. He knows the battles he's been through & has nothing to prove to anyone. Respect!!
