This interview made me SO GODDAMNED PROUD. Everything I've been thinking, spoken by Rener. This man is the legacy of the REAL Jiu Jitsu. As a Brazilian, I've been SO CONCERNED about the current state of Jiu Jitsu, it makes me sick with fear. Jiu Jitsu is losing everything that made it such a great, powerful, INVINCIBLE art. I find the focus on jiu jitsu competition so incredibly WRONG I can't even put it into words. I love you, Rener! From the bottom of my heart!
"Confidence comes from knowing that if a giant walks by..you look at him and you don't think to yourself 'Oh no' you think to yourself...how interesting..."
OMG...I have been waiting to see this side of BJJ for a long time... That man has his head and ass connected and in the right places... Well done... WOW
wow... awsome... i look this interview every day... i'm beginning friday at 12:45 my own quest to knowledge and better life at gracie barra academy , montreal , quebec , canada.... those brothers are so dedicated... so motivating that i stepped out of my couch... quit smoking , rebuild cardio... and friday , bjj time...
I am not a Jiujitsu man myself, but I am inspired to learn it, after hearing Rener speak here. Lts and lots of iwsdom, and you know you are totally right. You see this thing over all the martial arts as well, with the empahsis on competition.
Great video. Rener made some outstanding points. Most of the change could be due to business concepts of retaining students and or making there school look good in sport. I believe self defense first should be the priority.
I'm so proud to actually be in this martial art. Anyone who gets bullied or always gets hurt by someone. Like Rener says this martial art is NOT something you use to hurt or beat up someone this is for defense.
MMA stand-up replaced Jiu-Jitsu stand-up... I agree with Rener, whose seminars I have taken and enjoyed, that berimbolo, butterfly and other things that don't consider punching are bad for street or MMA, but I wouldn't need those against a jerk in the street. A guy in the street is going to get the double leg, side control to mount and a heavy top choke. I only need goofy guards to beat other BJJ players. My basics with punches and kicks will win a street fight, just like Royce did.
i started bjj for street fighting/no gi but it was out of fear/insecruity - im doing sport bjj cus im in love wit hit. never been in a street fight and never planning on it. its way more fun when you do things based of passion instead of fear. just saying.
I love this video and Rener's vision of the Origins and practicality of REAL Jiu-Jitsu. The Grandmaster didn't adapt the art to get points, but to beat larger opponents more efficiently. I agree 150%.
Sorry I missed this jewel. So you "tap" people out in street fights? I have never seen a real dangerous altercation ever end with a tap. Street fights go until one side is incapacitated, broken up or someone runs away. Unless they are in a schoolyard, in which case I don't think this is quite what Rener was talking about. Bragging about streetfighting is a bit douchey too, but thats a whole other thing. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!!!
I also"think" because as a resault of all the tournaments it was a huge reason why alot of new things were developed. Before Jiu jitsu came to America in Brazil they didn't have as many tournaments as now were people can developed new guards . Seems like the main tournaments in Brazil were street/beach fights in which they couldn't try or perform newer/different guards otherwise they would have. GRACIE JIU JITSU has been street proven for decades !
Sorry for the super late reply, but the song in the background is from a band called "Sounds of Seventy Three" called "Ahh Tow Bots". I agree on the similarities! Uncanny.
I love what is Rener saying, it's true. The only problem is that jiu-jitsu works only against one opponent , you need to be able to punch and kick hard and fast too if you want to get out of a bad situation on the street. Otherwise, they walk on your face. And today, it happen often.
Confidence comes from knowing that if a giant walks by, if you look at him, you don't think to yourself "Oh No" You think to yourself, "How Interesting"
I feel so sad watching this.This JiuJitsu is not here in Brazil anymore.BJJ change my life,but it's very hard to continue if there is a bunch of idiots around you.Everyone concerned with the "rules" and anyone concerned with the evolution of his own game.I get pissed when I'm rolling and people say "if you do that in competition, you will be disqualified." Fuck competitions.I feel so alone when I see people not bothering to be better fighters and better people,everyone just wants the next belt.
MMA isnt street fighting. No rules apply in a life or death situation, what he says about sports jiu jitsu is the same for mma. Plus the gracies did dominate many UFC fights and even more vale tudo fights. Learn the facts first.
If all one's confidence came from say jiu-jitsu or judo, then I would say such a one is a sad miserable individual. Those of us who have studied know that the best confidence one can hope for from something like jiu-jitsu is merely conjectural--nothing certain. One must base their faith on something true and unchanging to gain certain confidence: enter the Bible alone!
Respect to Rener

Ive been to a couple of seminars he has taught. He is totally the real deal. Smart articulate and humble.

Thanks for the compliments, Rener really made our job of getting an interesting interview effortless. He has genuine high energy for jiu jitsu.
Rener is awesome, I love all his videos! He makes you wanna get on the mat and learn!
Very VERY inspiring. Only a True Gracie can speak about Jiu-jitsu like that. He has that charasmatic knowledge. Thank you Rener!

RENER and the Fam at the GRACIE ACADEMY tell it like it is!
I love how passionate Rener is.
Am I really the first? Rener puts it better than anyone I've ever heard. Just Brilliant.
Great video. Rener made some outstanding points. Most of the change could be due to business concepts of retaining students and or making there school look good in sport. I believe self defense first should be the priority.
I'm so proud to actually be in this martial art. Anyone who gets bullied or always gets hurt by someone. Like Rener says this martial art is NOT something you use to hurt or beat up someone this is for defense.
metamoris.
you can see the passion in his heart that comes out in his voice. I don't know this guy much, but I'm beginning to respect him more.
thank you for the inspiring vid! We can certainly draw the lessons from Rener and apply it in other aspects of life.
Great positive Video. Rener, I loved your positive energy and explanation of the difference between sport BJJ and Street BJJ. Awesome.
Awesome video!
Rener is the best sales person ever. So positive
Why can i just like it once?
Rener is a great ambassador of the art. Grandmaster Helio would be proud.
this gave me goose bumps
I love it... great
POWERFUL.......Rener Gracie!
That video made me smile
Ossssss....

you are so right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How interesting
it's okay to do fancy stuff as long as you have a really firm grip on the basics

Rener is the fucking man.
Preach!

Renergy !!
@Rodrigo Moreira I agree my friend :(

cool dude
it's not bad to want the next belt, that motivate you to keep practicing
Confidence comes from knowing that if a giant walks by, if you look at him, you don't think to yourself "Oh No" You think to yourself, "How Interesting"
NEVER SEEN HIM ON A MMA FIGHT!
This, right there, is exactly why I worship GRACIE Jiu-Jitsu,
Thats poetry an naked true..
My motivation comes from submitting people and not be submitted by them.
Anyone else staring at Rener's forehead wrinkles?
now I am lol
I guess that's how all the different "ineffective" martial arts became ineffective over time. Even fencing and kendo is now sport based.
Because he's a jiu jitsu fighter...
you need to watch ufc 1
Rener and the Gracie principles could be a religion.
Ryron did great against Galvao .. Gracie Jiu Jitsu! next time 40 min ....
Bro if jiu jitsu is growing is because of jiu jitsu sport not self defense
I feel so sad watching this.This JiuJitsu is not here in Brazil anymore.BJJ change my life,but it's very hard to continue if there is a bunch of idiots around you.Everyone concerned with the "rules" and anyone concerned with the evolution of his own game.I get pissed when I'm rolling and people say "if you do that in competition, you will be disqualified."

Plus the gracies did dominate many UFC fights and even more vale tudo fights. Learn the facts first.
but then they asked chuck norris to punch him after he was pinned!! :/ strange jujitsu.
Will get worse if bjj get into at the olympics,more and more rules.
If all one's confidence came from say jiu-jitsu or judo, then I would say such a one is a sad miserable individual.
