[@jiujitsu94]

This is what sets Rickson apart from his family. Not afraid to think outside the box. The fact that he is even open to learning something from Bravo shows Rickson is a boss

[@tilikumtim5562]

Rickson seems to take after the late Rolls Gracie in that respect.

[@vincespell]

Rickson philosophy is strictly Jiu-Jitsu(Old School) don't be fooled, however, Rickson knows that Eddie has a style that is very productive and effective. Rickson just wanted to learn first hand what it would be like to fall into the Rubber Guard because Rickson wants to be Rickson and know how to defeat it! The Rubber Guard is a threat to anyone doing old school Jiu-Jitsu. However, you need not fret. The Rubber Guard can be defeated, not easily but it can be defeated. You need look no further than the technique applied by Leo Vieira when he defeated Eddie in ADCC. Leo Attacked Eddies upper body and stayed out of Eddie's guard. People brush off that win but that was no fluke, that was domination by one of the most dominate Jiu-Jitsu fighters of all time. Leo attacked Eddie's upper body, keeping himself out of Eddie's Guard. Leo's Knees was the key. Go back and look at Leo's attack and his placement of his knee. Leo had no time to study for Eddie or practice against his style. When Eddie beat Royler it's because Royler constantly played in Eddie's guard. Leo did no such thing. When fighting against the Rubber Guard, if you can stay away from the flexibility of those legs and maintain a balance upper body attack then you can survive, you may not win but you won't get stretched or choked out! Rickson knows Eddie's worth and Rickson was there for a reason. Eddie beat his little brother twice. Royler Gracie pound for pound the most technical fighter in Jiu-Jitsu history even more technical than Rickson was easily defeated twice, well, once, but he was in all sorts of trouble at MetaMoris against Eddie, Rickson knows that Eddie's system is well worth learning, if only for the purpose of creating a style to defeat it!.....Nothing is ever what it seems, the pride of the Gracie Family is still paramount for Rickson and the legacy he wants to leave to Kron. This ain't no game, this is about the Survival of the Gracie Name in the sport that they gave life to!

your use of exclamation marks is cringeworthy

Eddie got flak like he had the answer but he shows a true martial artist defends his dojo by constantly evolving and paying tribute to the elders. Your kung fu no good, wait till my master gets home. Sorry couldn't help it.

[@AJ........]

I know...it was like 10 straight minutes where no one could even get a word it ..lol

[@EGarrett01]

One thing that a lot of people won't understand, I've watched about 10 minutes straight of this and Rickson hasn't said one word, he just absorbs. The only people who can do that are complete amateurs and complete masters. Everyone else would have to interject and jockey for status and all other kinds of ego bullshit. The amateur has no status to defend, and the master is secure in his status. That's a hint for some of you guys.

[@mmaking8664]

+EGarrett01 Wise opinion my freind. We need more graceful and knowledgeable fans like u. Too many keyboard warriors nowadays

[@rcchristian2]

The Gracies didn't lose for a long period of time. A long long period. And when you don't lose for a long period of time, it sucks to lose :) Then this stoner comes and in chokes out Royler. It was a combination of them losing, to the Gracies not respecting that Bravo was promoting marijuana and that he was tweaking BJJ to use it without the Gi, which the Gracies felt took away from the street fighting art of jiu jitsu.

[@CBALLEN]

Robert C. Christian Yeah,it was just mostly sour grapes and hypocrisy on the Gracie's part when it first happened,but I think they're starting to come around and embrace it,instead of criticizing.I think they see it's better to learn it and use it in their schools,than to have their students suffer the losses to Bravo's students.

[@hubster4477]

So was Royce, but he ended up doing well in mma. He lost some tough matches and won some. Rickson was so worried about his reputation he never fought anybody, even mid way through his career. Look what Randy Couture, Dan Henderson, Chuck Liddell "risked" fighting late in their career. They weren't worried about wins and losses ruining their reputation.

[@hubster4477]

In his 30's and early 40's he could have fought Gokar Chivichyan, Sakuraba, Pat Miletich, Frank Shamrock, Guy Mezger, Igor Vovchanchyn to name a few. Plenty of names out there, to much fear of losing the reputation.

This is an INSANE moment in jiu jitsu history. Imagine if we had tape of when Mitsuyo Maeda and the gracies traded techniques like this.

Rickson Gracie is just such a bad ass, the way he just listens and sits there like a boss...I would love to meet him

[@RedSky-vf8bf]

+Yasir Khan He doesn't have to say anything- he didn't need clarification, he understood what Eddie was showing him, and he didn't need to interject with crap like "Yes this is good, but in Gracie JJ, we do XYZ".... he didn't feel the need to, he's already proven himself, and I got the impression that he was just sort of... passively observing these techniques and storing them away, you know?

[@stoicpoetrywisdom]

exactly, that is what I was so impressed by B DeWit​

[@mrmike743]

+B DeWit I was getting that rickson was being very cautious with eddie and almost to the point of being assholish about it.maybe I am wrong.but the Gracie's still use the gi whereas new schoolers like bravo at tenth planet jiu-jitsu are mostly going no gi anymore. rickson says I'll sleep on it like a sort of an asshole which to me is funny because gracie jiu-jitsu was invented because Carlos and his brothers didn't have the strength for the judo throws so they took the ground game aspects of it and changed shit up.you would think they would be very open to learning new techniques.

[@RedSky-vf8bf]

Michael Mccollum Actually, I think Rickson was taking on the disposition of a polite student, while using body language to assert his own understanding and confidence in what he already knows. I think people are imagining the animosity, simply because of all the BS drama that is mostly invented. Rickson even says at the beginning of the video something like "I never heard you saying anything dis-hespectful abouch my family." or something similar... I don't think Rickson has time to deal with that drama, or feels the need to.

~ 11:27 Rickson points out the flaw in Eddie's guard for mma. The top guy will stall it out and will get stood up or win the round. Eddie admits they could do that and "it's a patient game". Eddie offers punching from that position to get the guy to stop stalling, but in reality you wouldn't be able generate any power from that position so the guy on top will just ignore it and win the round.

[@royal69]

every technique has its pros and cons. you dont need to generate that much power to get a guy to react.

[@ryguyiskindofaflyguy]

you'll get enough power from those elbows to where most ref's wouldn't stand it up. look how far back eddie can go with those elbows

[@bkcpisme]

If the guy is on top in that guard position just trapped and not being able to do anything to escape, and the guy on the bottom is striking, even ineffectively, it is not unreasonable to think that the bottom guy would win the round. But you never can tell with the judges.

[@tgo007]

ryguyiskindofaflyguy that's a different position.

[@ryguyiskindofaflyguy]

tgo007 true, but like bkc said, even if you are hitting the guy with moderate force and the guy can't defend it, more likely than not the ref isn't going to stand it up, unless its mazzagatti :)

[@Billybillybillyrocking]

All the hate for eddie is completely not needed. He isn't taking anything away just adding more options for mma fighters that are jiu jitsu heavy. His philosophy makes sense, train like their isn't a gi so you don't have to worry about it when the time comes. You can still practice old traditional but this is just another option for those that want to pursue a mma career. Though I don't agree with his personal life professionally as a teacher he has a point in his teaching.
