RICKSON GRACIE & DAVE KAMA 😮 - MUST WATCH 🔥🔥🔥

[@doca8792]

I’m blessed. Got my Blue Belt directly from Rickson. He really helped me through the darkest years of my life. I then got purple and brown from Kron, again a great inspiration and help.

[@AnglandAlamehnaSwedish]

Rickson just showing me to breathe saved my life wen a drunk driver hit me n Renzo self defense saved me in many altercations n my child getting kidnapped n my mom being beat up by a man n so much more in a bad city I live in

[@Dbunkr55]

Wow. What a gentleman..taking time to greet everyone. So fortunate to meet him.

[@RicoMnc]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sometimes it feels like us older, smaller guys get lost in the mass of younger, stronger, bigger more athletic students, and it is refreshing and encouraging to hear this from Grandmaster Rickson himself. Congratulations Master Dave.

[@marceloestephan1672]

After 20 years I don't have the desire to compete at my age. I do appreciate Rickson's kind words. We are people first and no technology can replace one on one experience from Jiu Jitsu. Look after your partners like family.

[@throwball2248]

I’m just falling in love with jujitsu more and more as I get to understand it . I’m 59 and I’m goi g to start learning. Rickson is wonderful teacher and mentor.

[@JCBPARISPARIS]

Thanks for sharing this exceptional moment. And congrats to master Dave. note: it would be very nice if you can interview master Dave sometimes because he seems to know so much..

[@lichtsoldat7697]

Great video. Congrats to Dave! I had a chance to meet Rickson. He definitely has a powerful "aura" about him, just like other great people in their fields I have met. Truly was an honour and privilege.

[@DB-ds4ke]

This is awesome PROFESSOR. Seeing Rickson for me is like seeing Kobe Bryant, Tupac Shakur, or Stan Lee. Greatness personified. There was martial arts before him and there will be marital arts after him, but the way he revolutionized Martial arts/jiu-jitsu is unrivaled. Truly The GOAT! Oss!

[@oldironsides4107]

What’s his bjj record and what titles did he win? The same thing with his pro fighting record? You can’t be great at either if you’ve never proven it under the lights. Being great in the gym is much different under the lights with thousands of fans watching you.

[@davidmcghee7696]

When I trained with Rickson in the 90s every other actor, movie producer and celebrity just paled in comparison. I was training with Rickson. How do you top that. I could forever walk into any room with a higher step. Rickson just brings you into his life and you never forget it.

Rickson competed plenty "under the lights", both in jiu-jitsu and vale tudo, lol. Hes also fought just as much in the streets.

[@poorkwamoi]

Ryan, I just two das ago, tried to get my friend from 10 states away to find a BJJ school and call them and join. He immediately told me about his anxiety level and how afraid he is and he has bad knees and such... I finally convinced him to call the school and he is waiting to hear back from them (he got a message). this video came at the perfect time. Iam going to send this to him. What Master Rickson said about old people,fat people, shy people thinking Jiujitsu is NOT for them...he had the perfect explanation for it... thanks! And Congrats to David!

[@WeTheJourney]

thanks for sharing this moment with us, Ryan, and thanks to you for your contribution to Jiujitsu, many of us for sure appreciate your work on and off the mat, congratulations to you and master Dave!

[@BJJandBS]

It's always a happy and sad time for me seeing Rickson because I followed him so closely since 1997 when I really started BJJ. Seeing how much he has aged and how different he is now reminds me that I as well am an old OG and likely am viewed that way. I still feel like a Lion though so that helps. I still enjoy watching old vids of Rickson training with Kama back in the day.

[@scarred10]

we all age and hopefully improve as personalities if not physically.Rickson has become a better role model through his hardships,grown through adversity as we may all do if we have a growth mindset.The only constant in life is our core values and i think ricksons have become more grounded over time,fighting means nothing in the grand scheme

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

All well said, but fighting served its purpose in the time it was needed. Without fighting, today’s wisdom-filled Rickson would not exist.

[@BJJandBS]

@@KamaJiuJitsu truth!

[@pabloamericano4930]

Jiu jitsu takes a lot from from Brazilians, physically. Very few of them are anything but a healthy/strong/fit physique after 45 or after 20 years of BJJ. They either look like bow legged women with saggy skin that used to have muscles. Instead they end up with muscle-less bodies and are early geriatrics. Don’t fall for the Gracie Hype. The clan leads a pseudo religion for those who are weak spiritually and fills the void with Godless values. Heaven is the real prize and it is not earned, it is by grace. Jesus is the way. Not BJJ.

[@TrishCanyon8]

Brilliant 👏 and I'm so encouraged to hear him talk about inclusion of the weakest.

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

That’s what the intent of GJJ has always been!

[@PauloBerni699]

[@mattcauth]

Wow. Getting a stripe from Rickson. What an amazing feeling that must be - CONGRATS. Legends, all of you.

[@davidmcghee7696]

David, if I would have known you were getting another stripe I would have flown to attend. I actually came to find you in California a couple times. Wanted to talk to you about moving there to train with you. Cant find any veterans to train with where I live so I guess I will just have to move to Jiu Jitsu again. Maybe with Ryab in TX, my home state. Last time I saw you was about the time Rockson passed away in Pacific Palisades. What a loss. I remember the Pico days were the best brother. We were all in our prime then huh. Today too many Gracie Bajas who focus too much on Tournament techniques for my preference. Was sooo glad to see Rickson lay out this new agenda with the federation. Will see you soon. Ryan, I hope to meet up with you soon.

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

Come by anytime, David. ~Ry

[@Noone-rt6pw]

I wish Rickson would dictate an instructional books with someone writing the intricacy and nuances of the jiu jitsu, including invisible techniques but mechanical too which makes jiu jitsu work. Videos on DVD too. It'd even be interesting to see the jiu jitsu his family was taught by Maeda. Then the modifications made. Theyd be best sellers I'm sure.

Why does he go from a blue gi to a white gi? Tradition?

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

Dave had no idea what was happening and chose to wear his fave KJJ bamboo gi. Rickson on the other hand, is old school and prefers white gis. So we wear white to honor him. Thankfully, I had packed Dave’s white gi in the car when we left his house that morning, since I knew exactly what was happening. So when GM Rickson arrived, Dave changed to his white gi.

Richard bressler and craig kukuk should both be seventh degrees now based on time training ,only bjj politics got in the way.The grades after black are nonsense anyway.

[@KamaJiuJitsu]

Based on the original 1967-1968 criteria, Craig could’ve been 8th degree, but I think he no longer teaches. Richard got awarded the black belt TWICE. Once by Master Fabio Santos, and again later by GM Rorion. Not sure how many years ago he was first awarded it. Also not sure if the timeline for his promos are on Fabio’s timeline (JJGF), or Rorion’s.

[@alucard5055]

Why do bjj players give these life speeches, Kickboxers and boxers never do this. Nobody watches these matches. Audience of 5 who do themselves bjj.

[@zartic4life]

Because it's a Japanese martial art being spoken by a North American. Like oil and water.

[@Paul-de2wh]

The Gracies are great story tellers. Where are they now? Answer hiding under a rock! You don't need to waste 8 years of your life learning Jiu-Jitsu but a a few moths neutralizing it. :)) The story that Jiu-Jitsu would work for the skinny guy was a nice story. All the Gracies are not competing in the UFC, why because they've lost many times. They were humiliated by Sakuraba in Japan too. They always look for an excuse. And my friends they Gracies surrendered to Sakuraba, they threw the towel. By the way, the first UFC followed special rules imposed by Rorion that favor Royce. Royce used illegal drugs and he was defefead many times. The myth was over. Jiu-Jitsu can NOT win in the UFC, look at the statistics. The Gracies do NOT compete in Vale Tudo nor in the UFC because Jiu-Jitsu alone is not enough. They got their ass kicked.

[@tw5139]

This is almost a perfectly written by someone who is a functioning idiot. This is like saying Buakaw or Sanchaei are not great martial artists because they only know Muay Thai and never learned how to dry hump another dude like every UFC match turns into. Enjoy your stupidity.
