​​@@TedConnell-bt4og ... Why do you spout words like "humble" to someone interested in a Vocabulary centered around destruction? "Killer, Savage, Snap, Insane," Are you attempting to give them clarity? Gracie is confident in his ability to defend himself. That is what gives him the ability to live without fear, and be Kind. Class dismissed.

[@AReasonablePerspective]

When a person believes in their ability, don't give a flying fuck what people think and therefore have nothing to prove, they are usually the most humble and gentle people you will meet. Ultra egos, insecurity, jealousy, greed and control are everything wrong with this world. It all starts with parentage or lack thereof, unfortunately. Royce and his respect for his father is consistent with this theory like many greats. Effort, love and care you put into your offspring is as vital as gravity. It keeps you grounded.

In brazil respect is your most valuable good, if you dont respect people they wont help you and you need their help in a poor society, you cant live on your own, no one gonna give you a job, no one will buy your mom medicine when you have no money, you just need the comunity... even the most mean thugs help people or they gonna get snitched to the police... In america is more of a "self made man" culture, you dont need anyone and its even shameful to ask for help, so any little thug walks around with a mean face mugging people... sometimes brazilian fighters looks corny talking about respect, but its just how they learned to be...

[@CASHLEYXII]

Rickson won Pride 1-2-3 and when the sports was just taking off his son tragically died so he stepped away from the sport. However you can watch interviews with all members of the Gracie or machado clans who trained with them and all of these guys agreed Rickson was light years ahead of the rest of these fighters. Sadly his son passed away and we never got to see alot of the great fights that could have been due to his desire to compete fading after his son's death. Truly sad. Royce Gracie is a legend in the sport for what he did but in terms of his gifts compared to his brothers he was middle of the pack at best. Now rickson just focuses on helping his son Kron Gracie who is an animal in his own right. Go watch the movie Choke. It really shows you how advanced rickson was compared to all other bjj practitioners at the time.

Hell yesss!

[@rolotomase1440]

Was looking forward to this interview and enjoyed it - however I would have liked to hear more about his MMA career - especially the thought process around UFC 60 and Matt Hughes and his current relationship with the UFC. I would have liked to hear about the Gracie Family dynamics and how much "politics" actually existed between his father and Uncles. How is it now and how does he fell about those waving the flag of BJJ now? What does he do - Does he have a series of academies - does he teach full time? What are his thoughts on the current state of BJJ. Are practitioners ahead of where they were 30 years ago - are modern practitioners too far removed from the self defense roots - neither or both?

My favorite show in a while. This dude seems so fucking cool. You can tell he's a true class act. Love this episode Joe!

[@IGroupchannel]

Omg, this guy is a Legend, I love his style, not hurting the opponent to show his fighting art? Priceless

[@lourencorp-ly6tn]

i do bjj?

[@arvinderbains7346]

Great interview guys. Royce old school legend. Always nice to have bit of old school flava. Also personally i think fighters were better hundreds of years ago than those of today.

[@jerryky2580]

I think that was one of the most awesome interviews I've heard in a long time I love the way you talked about your values😊

[@shaneschulze3571]

I watched his fights so many times. I would practice all of his moves on my poor friends. Bested the giant school bully with a guillotine choke. Watching him probably saved my life! Winning fights on his back, stunning. The GOAT!

1993, Springfield VA, Lee District Recreation Center Me and some friends went and borrowed gym mats to start bjj after watching UFC and I haven’t missed a single ufc yet. We bought all the Gracie tapes and have been training ever since, changed my life. And I’m a Bruce Lee nut, and learned tons from Bruce’s books, but life changed in 93 Such fond memories

I love the fact that he gives mad respect to his cousins. They had some issues at one time and Joe got his black belt under Jean Jacques and I know it means the world to him that they all get along now.

[@elitetradinglive]

True. I’ve trained with both Royce and Renzo and at one point there was a little thing going on but it was more of a gossip/miscommunication thing. He’s so humble and down to earth so is Renzo and honestly the whole family.

[@jasond6602]

What a great guy. I went to a Royce seminar when I was 19 and I'm 45 now. He was so chill. Still use some of the techniques from that seminar. Never knew he was so patriotic. Awesome

[@stellarmella9557]

I think his son enlisted and became/ is currently serving as an Army Ranger

[@JS45678]

Fantastic interview as always; Thank You gentlemen! 👏

[@RodGrom]

Sir Royce Gracie is Martial Arts Royalty!!! He deserves to be inducted in combat sports halls of fame across the board!!!

[@Official-OpenAI]

bjj

[@glim3125]

Joe was cooking until, "And if the round ends and the new round begins, I think they should start you off back in the same place."

[@coderconvos254]

Pretty much. seems like he wants to give an unfair advantage to BJJ. If that's the case, then if you're getting punched and the bell rings, the round doesn't stop until the person stops punching. Why should they resume the position of the previous round?

[@Atimo133]

WOW listened to the whole thing already its AWESOME

[@MrFLbreakz]

i use to love seeing Royce Gracie's fights. he is a legend!

[@Curbsidehustle87]

I’m a mma fan I’m not big on jujitsu but even I realize the importance of this man on all combat sports!

[@AaronTats]

Can’t wait for JRE MMA Show #157 with Kazushi Sakuraba :D

[@LehartPro]

It will be 2 hours 3 minutes and 48 seconds long.

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

🤣

[@pkz420]

I would love to see this, but there would be a language barrier. I don't think Saku speaks English. I've always seen an interpreter for him when doing English media. I would still watch it, but it may be an issue.

[@AaronTats]

@@pkz420 I’m just joking haha

[@etherealmachina]

Then #158 can be Mayhem Miller

[@jadahmar]

Royce Gracie!

[@yamabushi_nate7825]

The original OG the man himself, put not just Jujitsu but MMA on the map. Very long overdue.

[@Worldshero]

Pleaseee do a part 2 for the love of everything! Bring this man back the chemistry is off the charts 📈 come on brother please! Or! Hear me out Rickson and Royce one episode 😮 🔥 🎤 drop 🎉🎉🎉

[@Antipants-w2i]
