Rick is my hero and inspiration in my own taekwondo and kickboxing journey. He had all the skills and technical ability. A true great.

Sounds like a bunch of rich kids yapping about Beverly Hills problems…

Why don't we hear about this from Gracie University?

What a beautiful interview. I hope there is a part 2. Well, I'm 51 now and grew up in Petropolis, Brazil. Came to America in 1989, been in Jiu Jitsu all my life, after a few breaks here and there due to life intervening, US Military service, divorce, children etc. As a kid in Brazil I remember vividly and sadly this part of the culture, where a family full of incredibly gifted people gets splintered over little disagreements that, due to our at times explosive personalities develop into generational feuds. My own family expereienced this. Anyhow, thank you for bringing us the words of such a giant of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Oss.

Really fascinating, Carley was definitely a pioneer helping to spread BJJ outside of Brazil.

Awesome interview man. Thanks a lot for that.

Can we get links to those books you talked about?

Rorion is a thief that steals ideas from others to profit from. He actually owes credit to some relatives for powerful entries in the Gracie Diet books. Greed has caught up with him.

Helio Gracie was a disgrace! He beat up Carley’s mother Geni Gracie and would torment the boys and a was a cheater. Helio was not the founder of Gracie Jiu Jitsu either Rorion!

I wanted to be Bobby Hull . Then Bobby Orr . Then I Added Guy Lafleur . Pavel Bure . Were the Most Exciting of my Faves .

I've done a fair amount of consulting with chiropractors in various projects and contexts over the past three decades. I have been treated by many different chiropractors and chiropractic students, and they all have delivered great value. Nevertheless, from the first time I was treated by a Zone-Technique--certified chiropractor, I was amazed at the results. It ultimately became a significant factor in changing my choice for a regular chiropractor. I highly recommend that anyone in the healing space give serious consideration to pursuing your Zone Technique certification.

Barry is still the Captain of the Rangers that he played with.

I wish I could train with Carley. I am definitely more like him. I want to travel to meet him before he gets too old. fantastic interview I love this interview

Fantastic interview. Really appreciated your questions. Loved seeing Guy in a more relaxed state and seeming to really enjoy your questions. Loved learning more about hm. Thank you. Also, was introduced to you because of this interview being sent in Life of Learning email. Really enjoyed hearing about some of the teachers that you appreciate as well. I am now a subscriber.

Lots of mistruths here. Twisted truths at best, but I guess it's his perspective... Carley coming up with the idea for UFC laughable. His Bruce Lee story is also hilariously false. If Carley was right regarding his dispute with Helio, then why did his family turn against him? Why did his mother turn against him? Why did he have to leave Brazil? The family didn't turn against Helio and Rorion... They didn't have to flee the country. If Helio was trying to find someone to beat Carley, then why didn't he ask Rickson or Relson? Or even Rolls, who Helio trained and adopted as his own son. Again, lots of mistruths here.

"Royce was there acting like he can fight..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Freaking PROFOUND!

Hi Dr. Pete, I work closely with Guy and Barbie at Life of Learning. Really loved this interview and with your permission will also embed it on our site so it easily reaches our audience, too. I took lots of notes and thought I'd mark the timestamps where you ask your engaging questions, hope that's okay! Best, Kate 00:35 How did you come to your realization and what have you discovered? 03:00 What is the main misunderstanding about the purpose of existence? 04:06 What is the proper understanding of life? 05:40 What were your travels in your early work and were they necessary to your spiritual discoveries? 09:20 Is being and studying with a guru required for one's own growth? 10:45 Are there particular influences you found helpful on your own journey? 13:40 Are you familiar with Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, who also spoke on essence and personality? 14:45 What are your thoughts on religion? 16:42 Is fear handled differently when you're on the spiritual path? 21:55 Is the ability to create dependent on imagination or being in the moment? 28:03 What is the proper relationship to the physical body? 30:48 What are proper ways to eat or exercise? 33:50 What are your thoughts on intuition? 35:03 What is meditation and should people do it? 41:15 Do you recommend breathing exercises to your students? 41:40 Do you have input on how to be healthier? 46:30 What are your thoughts on time? 47:35 Can there be a balance between the material and the spiritual? 49:55 What does "letting go" really mean? 51:40 What is objective meaning of life? 54:32 What are your thoughts on the idea of gratitude? 56:31 What are your thoughts on the word faith? 57:48 What are your thoughts on relaxation?

"you run from any disturbance, you're done, spiritually speaking."

"it is the fool who struggles in the field of opposites." "where you have resistance, you have ignorance. 'resistance' can't learn."

Very enlightening!

Thank you! So good.

This guy is full of shit

This guy tried to cheat in a fight with the thai guy, using hard materials in his legs. But still git his ass whooped. Being a white narcissist doesnt make you great 😂😂😂

Guy had a miraculous recovery. What do you owe it to? Speech therapy?

This was an amazing interview. The first American jiujitsu student was not Richard Bressler in Rorion's garage, but rather the American Marines that trained with Carley.

Beck, Pure class.

what hasn't this lady done?? unfortunately she lost me when she said she was a "flat earther". Still interesting however. Thanks for sharing

dope...

Awesome video!

So good!!!!!!!!!

Wow

Love this interview. Randy was one of my childhood Heroes growing up. He never mentioned the first game I ever saw him play with Chicago where a puck was cleared onto the bench and hit him in the face and broke his jaw. Randy happens to be my cousin and we were all excited to sit around the TV and watch him play for the first time. That didn't go so well. My most valued sports memorabilia possession is hockey card with Dave Schultz Tiger Williams framing Randy Holt. Top three penalty minutes in the NHL. Still in my photo album.

That was a great interview.... Any Team back then would have been glad to have Randy on their roster... A real Team guy, and played hard every night... It was fascinating hearing his honest perspective on the other tough guys of that era..

Having been fortunate to have visited Carlos Gracie Senior's house in Terespolois - having meals with him and talks with him (through an interpreter) I can verify he was indeed a special man ... one who everyone respected deeply.

I love JJ, but these childish war stories are ridiculous. They exist in other martial arts too. Heck, after 50 years of training and teaching, I have plenty of my own stories. The concept of training to also train your mind. Ego is never eradicated, but it should fade with experience. Whenever I hear a teacher bragging about who he was better than, I switch off. They did not elevate enough to master themselves…the ultimate fight that we all have is with ourselves. An Olympian English Judoka (who will want to remain nameless) demonstrated what a true master is. He won’t tell the story, but he had fun teaching the Gracie’s and other BJJ exponents a gentlemanly lesson in humanity as he arm barred any that cared to roll with him including the big names. He always said it is not about fighting, but a lifetime of learning how not to fight externally or internally.

Great interview, Osu.

It’s obvious now, from all the interviews and publications that Helio was an insecure, egotistical person with a Napoleon complex.

Randy mentioned something about a 6´9" player that played for Montreal, Gilles Lupien. I was curious so I looked him up and here's an interesting summary I found: Lupien went into the business world after his retirement, owning a Dunkin' Donuts franchise and also organizing a program to help former NHL players adjust to their lives after hockey. He also became a player agent, founding his own company and specializing in the representation of players from Quebec. Had more than 20 NHL players and prospects as clients, including Martin Lapointe, Patrick Lalime, Martin Biron, Frederic Cassivi, Donald Brashear, Mathieu Chouinard, Denis Gauthier, Daniel Boisclair, Manny Fernandez, Roberto Luongo, Claude Lapointe, Sebastien Bordeleau and Donald Audette. The rink in his hometown of Brownsburg, Quebec, was named Gilles Lupien Arena in his honor. Personal: Nicknamed "Loopy."

Thanks so much, Peter. An hour well spent. I've always wanted to see an interview with Randy Holt, growing up in the 90s I knew very little about him, all I knew was what I could read in magazines and on the back of his hockey cards, and of course stories about him when the internet became a thing. Once again, thank you very much! You asked great questions and you didn't interupt your guest. Would love more interviews with 70s and 80s guys that rarely gets the spotlight shone on them.

👊👏

There's 2 sides to every story, but in the case of the Gracie's, probably over 100 depending who you ask. Smh

Thanks for posting . This a interview that clarifies a lot of issues. Also like the idea that would should not suffer from tunnel vision when incorporating various techiques modifications in our training., especially if it works. The great Einstein quoted “ the only constant is change “

The link to Randy Couture v James Toney. Low single, top control, kata-gatame.

I loved it!

HEY Randy, glad to see you alive and kicking. Thanks for mentoring me for a short time.

I remember Nich from when he started Kyokushin, we trained together back then and he was driven from the very start...It didn't take long before he joined the kumite team at our dojo...He'd go one on one with the growns ups on that team who had 20 kgs and were grades above him...I wasn't the least bit surprised, when I heard he turned pro fighter...

Bert Wilson was a great fighter who was on the Kings when Holt was there.
