"Sometimes you're too afraid of dying you're not trying anything, so you're not living either. You're dying alive." Damn... 🙂

[@DB-xz1sb]

Duuude! Mad respect for this! I can 100% without a doubt say that BJJ changed my life. It made me the man I am today.

[@dmnla]

I got into BJJ for the mental aspects..how do you find it helped you?

[@justindelaney4142]

LOVE listening to Rickson. He is one of the few whose vast experience goes above and beyond Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. He's a true Master.

[@milesjayne]

Amazing episode! What a legend. Thank you for everything you do so grateful for your channel🙏🏼 Sharing with all my friends 💯

[@breekthefreak3132]

HUGE EPISODE!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@kevinhayden9030]

Fantastic interview sir.

[@samweller2099]

Can't wait for public release of this book. Desperate. I saw Choke when I was 15, years ago. Influenced my life do much. What a great guy. Total samurai.

[@papichefitup]

I highly recommend to read his book it's amazing

[@WarriorWillTv]

Great podcast! Just in time for my very first white belt competition in 10 days!

[@berniemac4422]

God bless the Gracie family

[@komielitcha8316]

Very insightful, Bjj is awesome , income from a judo background , and Bjj seems ton fulfilling what I’m lacking right now to complete my warrior toolset and achieve continuous personal growth. Rickson Grazie is definitely a legend ! OM!

[@stur6722]

I am going to add Judo to my bbj training. Could you share any advice to someone that’s going to start judo? I am going to add one day of judo. To my three days of bjj.

[@usaykbs2740]

Thank you

[@iansimmons8826]

THIS... was an honorable interview.

[@jayraymond9707]

Whoa…congrats on the interview Ryan. Really looking forward to Master Rickson’s book.

[@louisdlariviere3824]

Respect

[@BillaDaKilla]

Great podcast! Get our boy #45 on here and blow up the internet!!!

[@leocmen]

Good choice Ryan. He is a man who really transformed himself.

[@berniemac4422]

U think

[@josephstearns5983]

He's always been like that

[@leocmen]

@@josephstearns5983 Dude, coming from Rio de Janeiro, and grateful for having chance to train with his younger brothers, I can tell you for sure that Rickson underwent to an arc of philosophical and spiritual transformation in his life. To me he is like *Musashi* from Eiji Yoshikawa: a guy who really evolved from the *JITSU *to the *DO* Today his view of JJ is way distinct of most of the other members of the family.

[@Merzbjj]

Amazing 👏👏👏

[@supremeteam8969]

Gordon Ryan can learn a lot about being humble.

[@JEFFMAN90]

He's an overrated roided up loser. Roger Gracie would school him on the mats

[@xaviereyquem923]

does anyone know how to learn his breathing techniques?

[@seanbarker9272]

I've only done bjj for two weeks but my goal is to be the next Rickson Gracie. My plan is to do yoga twice a week and bjj twice a week to get a similar balance, also do you know if he supplemented with resistance training, thanks 👍

[@bodybydre1470]

Yes he implemented Bodyweight exercises for his strength training

[@kasebakaseba9009]

Pushups n all

[@Apeshower]

Have a look through the work of cameron Shayne and Ido Portal (amongst others). Their movement culture stuff and generalisation work will give options to become super mobile which will help. When you see Rickson on the beach you will see he was doing it years ago! Cameron is more martial arts based so that may suit better.

[@scarred10]

You wont be the next anyone just be yourself and enjoy the journey. If you want to be elite grappler you will need to be a fulltime athlete,ni job and trai twice a day with a world class dojo dedicated to competive bjj.

[@richardbarber4380]

Good

[@hamzamalik9705]

I wish I could do ju jitsu, but I can’t. I have a herniated disc and it limits my capabilities so much

[@vlastimiljanko8638]

Like professor said.... You might not be able to do jiu Jitsu technically, but you can do life of your jiu Jitsu....

[@thomasorchard]

Is there a way for you to work around it? I have c6 and c7 herniations that will heal, but then easily get reinjured again. I just tap early and often for chokes. I also do all my physical therapy stretches everyday and that helps. Try to adapt and train BJJ if you can.

[@blakerainwater6036]

Do you have access to a physical therapist? I have had all sorts of back problems and I do exercises from Dr. Stuart McGill (he's a really big deal, as far as spine physicians go), the Bob and Brad physical therapist youtube channel, and other abdomen and back strengthening exercises. I don't know how many times I thought I was down and out with my back, but have managed to come back. Just be smart and talk to a physical therapist.

[@thomasorchard]

@@blakerainwater6036 Bob and Brad have some great tips!

[@berniemac4422]

U wouldn’t hear that from a Gracie Lol

[@kalebjohnson9183]

What I would give to train with the master.

[@SamSam-80]

Rickson was really that good in jiu-jitsu gi?

[@luisortega9931]

Bjj is good for the soul mind body💯

[@erickstotle4285]

That’s crazy subconsciously I felt i accepted death practicing parkour haha with some of the spots I went for, Sadly I was not responsible so I now I’m recovering my Body and during my jiu Jorah training breathing was definitely put into a important perspective!!

[@DiggitySchwag]

[@ironry29]

Rickson Gracie is the good guy... He always wears white.

[@johngutierrez8399]
