I met Helio in 95 at Relson's Dojo at the University of Hawaii. I was so honored at the time to watch Helio teach in Portugeese, with his sons Relson, Rorion, and Royce translating for us. And then the celebration of the new dojo near Hanauma. I have a great photo of Helio and I right after my first tournament at UH. Awesome memories. Humble Gratitude.
Humility ? 😂 He presents himself as the best fighter in the world, says that japanese jiu jitsu is nothing compared to brazilian one, lies about how the fight with Kimura actually happened. You call that humility ?
@@conformconsumeobey2985 is that why he was standing right next to Royce when they got Pride to remove the loss to a Judoka from their records entirely? lol
@@patricklutherwinchester4260 im glad you asked: marketing, not their martial arts. Because Royce's messy UFC cheating and failed drug test stories are more entertaining than honest fighting. And because Carlos Gracie was a polygamist with like 250 grand and greatgrandchildren lol. That name is going to bounce around a lot based on that alone. The more I see of BJJ, the more I learn, and the more of these interviews I watch, the more bs I think it is. Imagine taking a fraction of something else and calling it "complete" or "well balanced" lol. Only thing I give the gracies credit for is popularizing Newaza
helio gracie invented leverage and the laws of nature himself, and he fought God to a draw to infinity, i know kuz Rorion told me once at jiujitsu camp.
You guys who disrespect and taunt the Gracie family are some ballsy mother fuckers. There are 42 people who clicked like on this comment who have testicles of iron on the internet but I would venture to say those balls shrink and shrivel if you were to be within 100 feet of anyone who feels differently.
The words from the founder of GRACIE JIUJITSU are taken to my heart. I will strive to achieve his approval through his children!.... I have achieved a Blue Belt under ROYLER GRACIE and Damn proud of it! .. The journey is for Life, I hope to earn my Black Belt someday, untill then, I am just a begginer,... hail HELIO GRACIE!.. Oss
Winning can make you a great person. It also can destroy a great person. Losing can also do the same. I'm listening to this Great Man, and I'm also listening to a man who hasn't come to grips with a loss. I do admit its a bitter pill to swallow. To say your style is so good the only way you'll lose is if you make a mistake is NUTS. Or better yet HORRIBLY ERROGANT..But I do understand its what you need to keep winning sometimes. Especially after such a tremendous loss.
A great man. Not afraid to do things his as he sees them to be true. As far as what he said about Rorion...Who knows. I say that at Helio's advanced age he doesn't seem to be senile. He seem to speak articulately and lucidly. Also once men of standing reach the sunset of their lives they become brutally honest because they have no reason to save prestige for the future. They feel they are reaching their day of reckoning and they want to go as honestly as possible.
He's a fighter...that's what it takes to call yourself the best....don't fool yourself with fake humbleness....in any pursuit whatever it is it takes massive ego to reach the top...Michael Jordan was famous for being an Ahole....every great athlete may act " nice in front of a camera...but it's just an act
Stop heilo was arrogant very but he had reason to be he !all the great fighters have to be lil to believe in them selfs and be lil crazy lil confident he was genius legend he was helio gracie os!!! grand master
+puckdrummer -- Exactly, it's Rorion and his son's that are doing the online training yet he uses him as the example of not going that. Strange. I wonder if he had his full faculties at that age and or, or he was really aware of what everyone in the family was actually doing in real life. Does anyone know when this was recorded?
+Stephen Moss -- Just to clarify my comment - Ryron and and Rener's online training is very useful but even they admit that it's better to complement it with real training in an academy when possible. Also - to get real belts they need to test with him in person. The belts people get via online only training are like placeholder belts.
+Stephen Moss I really doubt he was aware about every single detail on what everyone was doing. I mean, he was on his 90s, probably the elder guys like rickson, rorion or royce would respect him fully and ''let him know about anything'' because they grew up with him when he was still strong but the younger ones... yeah, the respect and that's it. That kinda slips from a generation to another one.
Great interview though, you can just imagine his son's and family heading for cover when he blows his top, I liked the way he was so honest about things he really did not GAF who he offended and the thing is you just know he would say exactly the same to that person's face.
Interesting to hear his perspective on BJJ. He calls out every other BJJ school as not BJJ except for the Gracie Academy. He would know since BJJ is his twist on grappling.
Lmao Helio says they threw in the towel but that he was fine and they shouldn't have??? In reality, his shoulder was broken in two places (even Rener Gracie admits this).
Your statement shows your lack of knowledge of Martial Art's.. You would be offering your rear end up for grabs as soon as you were threatened LOL,.. GM HELIO GRACIE understood the concept of ( Indomidle Spirit ).. Silly F-G go back to watching to idle justin bieber vidios!.. LOL
Caralho resulta que o grande mestre de bjj nem treinou só viu treinar e foi logo professor kkkkkk e o carlos com 3 anos era faixa preta hoje estaõ 10 no minimo para chegar a faixa preta kkkkk
Man this guy is so arrogant lol. Kimura broke this guys shoulder, TWICE back to back. He says that he wishes they didn't throw in the towel... if they didn't, he would have died back then in the 1950s
lies and lies.. luta livre was the most successful in vale tudo, george gracie was the best fighter in gracie familly, today jj has involved far futher than helio things by brazilians Japanese americans. You need technic,condition and strenght one is not enough. kimura choke you out break your hand and was smaller and shoeter but gracie won again. Also helio had the chance for rematch
Jui jitsu is Japanese. There’s not one thing Brazilian does that’s different from the Japanese version. Calling it Brazilian doesn’t make it Brazilian. And he created nothing
Actually it’s Chinese. It was developed from earlier Chinese arts. Which in turn was developed from Indian martial arts. Which was influenced by Greek Pankration. And on and on and on.
Lies lies telling lies after your brother died you can read all about it in Brazilian magazine books etc Robert Drysdale had a book about it helio is a big inspiration for me I have a picture in our mat room at home and a strong proud lineage and big reason jiu jitsu is what it is today but the lying is nutty lol

I'm thankful I met this man and witnessed his humility and greatness. He was very inspirational, and I carry that inspiration in my soul to this day.

I didn't realize that helio was so smart and so honest. A great man.
With all due respect to Gracie, Kimura defeated Helio Gracie . Both are great masters , Kimura won the fight but Gracie left a great legacy.
He's right about winning not being the only thing that matters ever.
gracie left bunch of thugs
@@conformconsumeobey2985 is that why he was standing right next to Royce when they got Pride to remove the loss to a Judoka from their records entirely? lol
@@montagistreel Then why do we all remember Royce Gracie and not "that judoka"?

Love you Grand Master Helio!!! Thankyou for GJJ.

Alas! The Grandmaster conquered all his opponents but one... his own ego...excuse me two.... ego and Kimura...
Kimura was a beast: very strong, very technical, and amazing work ethic. I believe he would have done extremely well even in today's UFC.
if only more people thought like you sir, you are one of the best of best

Tricky Brazilians taking advantage. Ha ha. I'm married to one. I'll be using this video against her for the next 30 years. Lol

thanks for this!
The best description, history and philosophy of Juijitsu that I have ever seen from the Founder himself!
Hes the founder of brazillian . Not jiu jitsu itself it originated from Japan.
it s the foundet of gjj along with his brothers, bjj is not just gracie p.e marcrlo garcia could destroy helio even his brothet george could

Marcello Garcia loss
He basically admitted the Jiu-Jitsu the Gracies practice and teach is actually a refinement and honing of what Him and Cralos learnt from Japanese.
The BOSS!!!!
Great man!
truemanc Very, Very, Very Great man.
Yes 🙏

The legend himself, boss man of Gracie jiujitsu 👍🏼
You did jiu-jutsu you're own way...so don't be so hard on Carlo's sons for doing it their own way too.
Thanks for sharing
I m searching hélio gracie footages
Very Truthful interview, Honesty!
When a man is morally evolved he dominates his opponent with his moral strength. I like that. Physical power is relied upon by the morally unevolved.
Does a morally evolved person gang up on a dude and beat him up so bad in the street that his career in combat sports ends?
@@Edude117 ruflno dos sant0s.
Blessed Bold & Beautiful :)
Thank you for sharing :)
Impresionante!!!!
My God, I'm only halfway through the interview... the Monster Ego on this guy...
More like pride. Similar but not the same.
Humble, non-arrogant, and a man of few words. Except not really..
He earned the right to be arrogant.
Noone has the right to be arrogant.
You do if you earned it.
He's a fighter...that's what it takes to call yourself the best....don't fool yourself with fake humbleness....in any pursuit whatever it is it takes massive ego to reach the top...Michael Jordan was famous for being an Ahole....every great athlete may act " nice in front of a camera...but it's just an act
Stop heilo was arrogant very but he had reason to be he !all the great fighters have to be lil to believe in them selfs and be lil crazy lil confident he was genius legend he was helio gracie os!!! grand master
Great interview
wow, respect!
Ok... So, if it wasn't Carlos, how would Helio have learnt anything?
Respect
"people who learn by buying tapes and getting belts in return will never be where we are." Uhhh like Gracie University online by Rorion and his sons?
+puckdrummer -- Exactly, it's Rorion and his son's that are doing the online training yet he uses him as the example of not going that. Strange.

rener wasnt doing the online training when helio was alive.
Now I wanna start Jiu Jitsu.
did you?

Like a boss.
Where do I get a sweater like that ?
Better the subtitles, isn'it?
what an inspirational trailblazer! what an incredible and well led life!
Esse homem mudou a ordem mundial das artes marciais... samurai
When you ask a Gracie about the origins of BJJ they always leave out the stuff about Luiz França, Mitsuyo Maeda, and Carlos Gracie.
Exactly what I said
Interesting to hear his perspective on BJJ. He calls out every other BJJ school as not BJJ except for the Gracie Academy. He would know since BJJ is his twist on grappling.
His style looks so familiar.
th-cam.com/video/HZ5q6MiRQJ0/w-d-xo.html
wow....
What a man!
What he says at 17:25 is soo funny to me when listening to everything he is bragging about lol
lol. i noticed he never mentioned judo once.
Lmao Helio says they threw in the towel but that he was fine and they shouldn't have??? In reality, his shoulder was broken in two places (even Rener Gracie admits this).
Your statement shows your lack of knowledge of Martial Art's.. You would be offering your rear end up for grabs as soon as you were threatened LOL,.. GM HELIO GRACIE understood the concept of ( Indomidle Spirit ).. Silly F-G go back to watching to idle justin bieber vidios!.. LOL
great video, but the category is listed cars and vehicles. lol.
Prescience...”no holds barred fighting would become bigger than boxing”...enter Dana White!
🥋🙏🇧🇷🌌
Lol this is absolutely comical
Definitely a bad man gang bashing people who beat his brothers in fights.
It should be call Helio Gracie Jiu Jitsu instead of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
how is this video categorized in auto and vehicle? wacky
Count comabmeasda was beast 1000 fights brawls no deafeats record fights damn powerful
In a way, he reminds me of Conor Mcgregor
Wee can see where royce royler renzo and the other Gracie's who wouldn't tap to sakuraba genki sudo yoshida and wallid
DO NOT PUT ANYONE ON A PEDESTAL
i enjoy 10th planet Jiu Jitsu!!
Man he kinda contradicts him self alot at the end there...
LOL!!!
it should be jiu jitsu gracie ryu not brazilian ....
Claro até que chegou o kimura e a ai a coisa fudeu
He's the one that fought real fights
So much charisma and passion despite being old. He's even cussing out people in his own family 19:00
Caralho resulta que o grande mestre de bjj nem treinou só viu treinar e foi logo professor kkkkkk e o carlos com 3 anos era faixa preta hoje estaõ 10 no minimo para chegar a faixa preta kkkkk
Jiu-jitsu é judo
Helio never reached Carlos' level of skill
Carlos Quiroz and never reach george condition and fighting skills
alot of Gracie haters on here, your technique sucks...keep throwing that money away
Who is this jew jitsu he's talking about?
Isso é uma mentira kimura naõ o venceu antes porque naõ quis projetou passou a guarda e encaixou ude garami
Man this guy is so arrogant lol. Kimura broke this guys shoulder, TWICE back to back. He says that he wishes they didn't throw in the towel... if they didn't, he would have died back then in the 1950s
Old man dementia.
lies and lies.. luta livre was the most successful in vale tudo, george gracie was the best fighter in gracie familly, today jj has involved far futher than helio things by brazilians Japanese americans. You need technic,condition and strenght one is not enough. kimura choke you out break your hand and was smaller and shoeter but gracie won again. Also helio had the chance for rematch
4 Judo practitioners disliked this lol
xD
5 now... fuckin wankers
..judokas
