I Trained under Rolls Brother. The late,Great Carlson Gracie. I met Rickson at that time. This was In 1997. Rickson,the Man,the Legend. Was also one of the most down to earth,kind and friendly human beings you can ever meet. Master Rickson,I wish you many blessed years of happiness,good health and peace of mind. Thank you 4 being so kind to a young kid. Who was just trying to find his way back in the day.
Renzo n Rickson have lifted me up for so many years its hard to say i dont love them for that , i dont know what id be or if id be alive if not for the self defense renzo n rickson have shown ,not just figjting but self defense against my own mental enemy mi enemigo
This is so inspirational💯 And you take ur first fight at 19yo against man like Zulu, is pretty f**king impressive🔥🔥 Massive respect from Finland🇫🇮 I started jiu-jitsu 2.5 years ago because of you🥋 Thanks a lot for everything🙏🏻
he is an example for me. Not only because he is the legend of bjj, he is also super wise. All the things he says about life are deep and true. @@johnreidy2804
Wise words from one of the last true masters in modern times. Sure there are many phenomenal athletes in combat sports but there are very few that encapsulate the totality of what makes a ‘master’ the way Rickson does. And I’m not even a BJJ practitioner-but I recognize a true master when I see one.
I trained with Rickson’s father > Jiu Jitsu, master Hélio, Gracie > and even as an older gentleman, the master > Helio, Gracie did not cut us any slack from our poor performance in a cross town tournament with the Machado brothers students . The Machado brothers fighters were dominating us at our own Academy . And the master told us all what we did wrong, and how to correct our mistakes . This is the mindset of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Exactly what Rickson said in this interview . The Gracie philosophy > During any fight, there are windows that open up for you as a fighter. You must understand these windows and use them appropriately.
That weird thing/exercise Rickson does with his stomach impresses me. Kron Gracie can do it too! It looks like an alien or something swimming around inwards, outwards, and sideways in their stomachs. I've never seen anything like it.
Irmão Rickson, vc é o maior de todos os tempos. Fale um inglês mais devagar. Tuas histórias em português são maravilhosas; se vc falar um inglês mais lento, o mundo todo irar te compreender melhor e teu espírito irá fluir naturalmente nas mentes das pessoas. Um abraço carinhoso Carlos (CRTG)
Brother Rickson, you are the greatest of all time. Speak slower English. Your stories in Portuguese are wonderful; If you speak slower English, the whole world will understand you better and your spirit will flow naturally in people's minds. A loving hug Carlos (CRTG)
Lol, those fights with zulu were like the most obvious non fixed fights ever. Have you seen the the 2nd zulu fight? It couldn't have possibly been fixed. I think you're making up fake news anyway. Your comment is silly and ridiculous. Do better and stop trolling. You'll be in a much better place in life.
Mas todo mundo tem tem direito de viver ate agora voce e o melhor porque o macaco pegou o ryan gracie e matou um mes depois que peguei um autografo com ele macaco te matava
Lost respect for you years ago when you refused to fight Sakuraba when he called you out after his fight. You gave an excuse but didn't hesitate to put your brothers and other family members to fight him. Your brother Royce I respect b/c, like Sakuraba, he fought anybody at any time and made no excuses.
@@tfajsh I don't give a shit whether he does or not. It doesn't change shit! You're someone who would eat his table scraps. Fuckouttahere with your weak promise 🤣
Why would he care whether some complete no name on the internet who understands nothing about his situation lost respect for him? That's just meaningless to him.
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!

what,do,you,have against spaces after,commas?,?
I watched a doc on Rolls. Very good and tragic life. That’s pretty cool. I got my daughter, nephew and niece into BJJ.
@@edwardrichard2561 where can I find that doc?
I am so proud of you Dear Grandmaster Rickson
you were so young... and had to stand your man,,,, I admire you ! Mark from Germany
Dude is a mentor.
I’m lucky enough to train directly under him in 2004, white to blue belt.
His lessons on the mat carried over to my daily life.
Such a great story. Loved Breathe too!

The most amazing martial artist alive and one of the greatest martial artists of all times. A true legend from many points of view
Always a pleasure to see Master Rickson
You like him a lot huh?

A powerful example that I’ll always remember and apply to my life.
Grand Master Rickson is simply the Greatest .
Great story and great lesson. Thank you for sharing.
R.G. will always inspire and motivate every generation !

So well stated, from his heart and spirit, a great lesson for all of us. Thank you for this post and the use of the hall.

Rickson's physique in the Zulu fight made me want to do nothing but work out. I'm proud to say that my thighs are now as big as his forearms!
Thanks for content
Mestre Rickson, is there any video of this first fight with Zulu? It would be a true gift to the fans if we could see the fight.
This fight was the greatest fight I have ever seen in my life....
You saw the first zulu fight? Only the 2nd one is available online I think.. If you find the first one let me know.
All modern mma fighters making a living from fighting owe this guy a thank you 👍
Zulu was brutal.
Hero

Rickson Gracie is a BJJ legend. My only question is why didnt you fight Bas Rutten?
Also, Sakuraba.
@@HenryChinaski614his son died after the fight was signed.
@@HenryChinaski614 no Sakuraba was too young then.
Did they ever interview Zulu about this fight?? I want to hear his take
He only talks in clicks

A great role model
Zulu declared in a interview this fight was a fix.
Zulu was well-known on the Brazilian fight circuit to tell some tall tales and a large ego. He did have a looot of experience, though.

Thank god for that bucket of ice.
When the heart of a lion…they mean RIckson.
Note to self, ice baths are real..
i dont want to pee out my calcium anymore the nutrition from milk and cheese
NO HOUNDCCCHHH NO HULESHHH !!!
His worst fight is the fight with Kurasaba that he avoided
You're not even insulting him correctly, and you were trying to. Come on man.
✊
O que foi dito aqui, sem a sua família e Deus você é quase nada
Dad and Bro pushed him back🤣
The best
In the rings ? you mean ring
La familia siempre ayuda, pero en este caso, sin ella, tendrías el mismo récord pero con 1 derrota 😱😎
Nunca para haters odioitoas jajaja
@@AnglandAlamehnaSwedish Rickson quería avandonar después del 1er round vs Zulu, pero su familia (esquina) se lo impidió....¿sí o no?.
Ruas aguarda😂

His son died… guess that isn’t good enough an excuse?
@@SP-hs6bj Bullshit! The excuse he gave was that Sakuraba wouldn't go to the ground.
Rickson Gracie doesn’t give one shit about whether you respect him or not, I promise.
@@tfajsh I don't give a shit whether he does or not. It doesn't change shit! You're someone who would eat his table scraps.
