I owe you a thank you for referencing that video. I was not who you were responding to but its a good source and I am better after 2 minutes of watching it.
It's true, Rorion Gracie is brilliant. Firstly, he's a lawyer in Brazil. A lot of people don't know that. Also, he's one of the most charismatic people I've ever met. When he got the idea of UFC going, it was just after I'd learned some Gracie Jiu-jitsu, courtesy of Rorion Gracie and especially, Royce. One of the things that impressed me was that the Gracies and I look like we belong to the same family. We're tall and slim guys. None of them are big bulky guys, yet they can kick butt. Again though, Rorion is what sold me on Gracie Jiu-jitsu. He's just the greatest guy and I'll never stop singing his praises, or the praises of his family and their brand of Jiu-jitsu. They're all wonderful people and deserve all the success they've enjoyed over the years. They've certainly worked for it all. Thank you, Rorion Gracie for your time, help, and kindness.
Virei mais fã ainda do Rorion. Muito humilde, sujeito bacana. Aliás, ele e o Royce parecem ser bem humildes, ao contrário do Rickson que aparentemente não consegue ter essas habilidades sociais.
one of the greatest men i have had the sincere pleasure to have as a role model in my life, truly! great video. thank you. jiu-jitsu is life, life is jiu-jitsu. have a blessed day,all.
Great, awesome, incredible! Congratulations Rorion.. And thank you very much for everything you did and still do for everyone of us, lovers of this art and life style. Maximum respect! Grande abraço.
É visível como os Gracies da linhagem maloqueira de Robson (Renzo, Ralph e Ryan) destoam dos Gracies da linhagem de Hélio (Rorion, Rickson e cia), esses sim educados e pessoas de bom nível.
Once got here, registered the name Gracie and the triangle( his family logo from Brazil) under his name, and threatened to sue any sibling that used it here in the states. When Rickson got here early 80's, didnt know any english, was given docs to sings by Rorion as being papers that allowed him to teach at his gym, when in reality were docs prohibiting Rickson to fight in the us without his approval
excellent. about 2 blocks E of the carson street academy, there was a printer who did flyers and business cards etc.... they had one of the flyers on their sample wall challenging all comers. that seemed so long ago. great stuff. thanks for the upload!!! OBRIGADO!!!
A big part of that perception is because a majority of the high level fighters in the UFC (certainly the Americans) come from a wrestling background, and utilize their earlier training extremely well. In MMA I do think a serious wrestling base often leads to advantages on the ground, but the great BJJ guys can definitely compete and win. The point is, though, that BJJ WAS created for self-defense, and not for usage in a cage with certain rules and time limitations.
It depends what your definition of "effective" is, but in terms of practical self-defense, there's little denying the superiority of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
very interesting,thats the first time i saw the original garage where it all started in america.I wonder how many guys from the garage days still practise,i can think of only a handful like saunders,kama,kukuk,paulson,bressler,anderson.These would have all started training in the 80s
Es una joya esta historia, el jujitsu y el éxito empresarial. Es realmente impresionante los diamantes de la familia Gracie. Son realmente casos de estudios tanto para atltas como empresarios. Éxitos y Bendiciones!!!!!
That's funny. I thought that Big John got his job as the ref because the first ref didn't seem to care if Ken Shamrock died in his fight against Royce. Now I know that it was actually because the first ref didn't let a guy take more punishment! Maybe the reason the guy didn't stop the fight between Royce and Ken despite about 6 taps was that Rorion got mad at him for stopping the earlier fight.
Fez tudo o que os patriarcas do BJJ fizeram - inclusive ter um time inteiro de filhos ( 10 deles) - e isso no EUA, o país mais competitivo no mundo. Sem esquecer da saúde: quem na idade dele consegue manter essa forma? Para ficar tudo ainda mais admirável seus filhos mais velhos são muito família, não se envolvem em nada que não seja bom, experts em ensinar a arte. Sendo que toda família é muito equilibrada e esbanja simpatia.
o cara fez a vida dele lá, é mais do que normal que um dos filhos dele seja mais americano que brasileiro...Jiu jitsu não é uma arte somente para brasileiros, ela é uma arte para todos...Os brasileiros dominam porque ela é daqui, mas nao acho ridiculo um gracie ser americano...BJJ é uma coisa JJ é outra...mas nenhuma das duas é exclsuiva para brasileiros...Tanto que o BJ Penn já foi campeão de BJJ...
fair enough, I definitely agree that BJJ levels the playing field against a bigger and stronger opponent, however if its a high level wrestler in a cage situation then he is going to nullify BJJ by choosing to just do stand up or let it go on the ground. But yes as a self defence technique BJJ is excellent for the ground, standing not so much, maybe judo would be better as an all round martial art since it incorporates a bit of BJJ and stand up techniques
Faz sentido, mas não acho legal um Gracie ser de "origem americana", senão os americanos vão começar a achar que os Gracie agora são americanos também. Aliás, esse tal Rener Gracie por exemplo, nunca dever vindo pro Brasil, nem pra fazer uma entrevista em portugues ele sabe... eu também acho ridiculo isso.
Don't think so Swift , Judo is basically a castrated form of traditional Ju-jitsu modified for sport and competition so with equal time spent in training , it can only do worse than JJ in this context unless the Judo student is of a higher skill level or with exceptional physical abilities what's great in Gracie Ju-jiutsu is that most techniques utilize less strength whereas in Judo or Wrestling , back strength and power is a huge factor
Yup! you will never understand this unless you practice Jiu-jitsu. with Jiu-jitsu you get to know your self like you never had before. give it a try and youll see
He's awesome and there's no doubt the Gracie diet and lifestyle are a net positive. Still -- avocados are NOT a great source of protein, you are getting only a meagre 2-3 grams per 100g fruit, compare that with 25g of protein packed into 100g of chicken breast OR 30g/100g for a 'can of chunk-light tuna-fish' -- it's "no contest"... Soy, at a WHOPPING 30-35g per 100g or Chia, at 17g/100g are better meatless alternatives. Avocados have other things going for them, just not really a great protein source. You would need to eat 10-15 to match the amino acid content of a small can of tuna.
Cara...os cara se criaram la...aqui no Brasil os Gracie nao teriam nem 10% da fama mundial que eles tem hoje...Queira ou nao eles devem muito do que tem ao EUA...Se os americanos começarem a achar isso, probelma deles...os Gracie fazem questao de mostrarem que são BRASILEIROS e isso que importa...
First BJJ is not grappling like wresting . It is basic done on the ground , the difference is when you are defending yourself is to finish as quick as you can . Arm , legs , hands and head locks or neck to put the guy to sleep and many others , there is no punch . When nobody knew BJJ Royce prove that was the best self defense art . The guy weight 72 kg and just run over everybody , guys three times bigger heavier and all that in the same day . Dan Henderson an Olympic wrestler lost twice for him . The last one took 15 minutes and Royce was taking a pretty bad beating since UFC had no rounds at the time , and to win you had to win three fights in the same day . Well Dan was all over him when Royce somehow got him with his legs and Dan tap out That was back in 92 Search and see . That is when everybody was asking ,,,what the fuck is that ...That was how BJJ appear for the world . Today all these fighters learn how to use . Today all these guys know all types of martial art , even Brazilians learn wresting , May tay . Boxing ; It is MMA . Please don`t think that what i wrote had any kind of bad intentions towards you . Take care and Merry Christmas
Before people here hate and start to badmouth what i wrote, watch the documentary "gracies and the birth of Vale Tudo", and understand what really happened instead of the stuff we all see around the web. JJ being taught around the world would happen sooner or later, Rorion came first, but trying to screw his family over what is equally theirs is fucking wrong. Im glad he sold the UFC for 2 million and now its worth 9 bil. Thats karma bittimg him at the ass
1) O ju itsu nao foi espalhado no brasil so pelos Gracies, elos furon os principais difusores sim, ma nao è verdade que foi Helio Gracie a criar essa arte..Tao esqueçendo de Luis França e do oswaldo Fadda!A nova uniao existe por causa deles! Eles sabiam o mesmo ju jitsu, Helio Gracie nao criou nada, ele foi um excelente professor e lutador sim,e ate um dos mais responavel pela diffusao, mas o ju jitsu nao existe por causa dele! Quelquer professor que treina a arte por muito tempo a aperfeçiona..existem fitas do Kosen Judo que monstran exatamente o mesmo ju jitsu 2) Nao acho çerto esse negocio de ficar se achando porque os gracie invadian as academias das outras artes marciales pra tirar uma surra nos professores..Falam muito de respeito e nem sabem o que que è..35:18"meu pai deixou o RUffino tudo quebrado na academia dele foi ate processado"..cara voce se deveria so envergonhar, nao ficar contar uma historia dessa cmo se ele fosse um heroi! 3) O ju jitsu sim è eficiente, mas nao e a melhor defesa pessoal do mundo como eles tentan te covencer!! eu treino ju jitsu, mas na rua nunca me vou jogar no chao, è periguoso demais!
ele em momento nenhum disse que criou o ju jitsu... ou o jiu jitsu... mas você tem que entender que ele fez adaptações pra que ele mesmo pudesse praticar. isso é inegável. .. Você pode não entender isso... mas não me surpreende essa burrice... já sou acostumado com tanta burrice.
pow ñ é eficiente numa briga de rua? mano deicha eu te falar uma coisa eu marquei com minha esposa numa praça em botafogo no rj o cara foi e balançou o pal pra ela antes de eu chegar quando cheguei ela me contou ai o cara me viu veio tomando satisfação com migo partiu pra cima me deu um chute e me pegou numa gravata mano com tod calma eu dei uma queda nele ele esticou o braço e eu peguei no armilok e ai ñ é eficiente ? quer outa eu trabalho de segurança só q um funcionario q tentou me agredir no ambiente de trabalho agora detalhe ele foi me pegar no vestiario ele com 110 eu com 70 kilos consegui botar pra baixo ele se desesperou e tentou levantar eu fui e emcachei o mata leão te pergunto é ou ñ é eficiente ? assim como eu muitos tem experiencias pra contar.
