Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for Law Enforcement. Royce Gracie, Field Notes Ep. 37

In this episode, Royce Gracie discusses Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques for Law Enforcement Officers.
Royce Gracie was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and is one of nine children, seven of whom are boys. His training in Jiu-Jitsu began at a very early age as a game with his father Helio. He never pushed any of the children to take formal classes until they wanted to do so. However, they often went to the Academy in Rio after school and on weekends.
Royce began competing in tournaments at age eight. He received his blue belt at age 16 and was promoted to black belt in less than two years. Royce moved to the United States at age 18 to live with his brother, Rorion. They began teaching private classes out of their garage, sometimes for more than ten hours a day. Together they opened the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy 30 years ago in Torrance, California. Although Royce no longer teaches there because of his rigorous travel schedule, it remains one of the largest martial arts schools in the country.
Royce’s reputable career as a fighter began in 1993 after defeating three opponents in the first Ultimate Fighting Championship in Denver, Colorado. His brother Rorion came up with this innovative challenge as a way to show Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to the world. Discipline after discipline was defeated by the slight 6’1”, 180 pound Royce Gracie. The viewers were in awe.
His opponents consistently outweighed him by more than 50 pounds. He went on to win 3 UFC titles and today is the only man in the history of no holds barred matches to successfully defeat four opponents in one night. After leaving the UFC Royce went on to compete in MMA events in Japan and is a huge icon in this country.
Royce holds the record for the longest MMA match in history: 90 minutes against Japanese superstar Kazushi Sakuraba in PRIDE Grand PRIX 2000. He also showed total domination of the Olympic Judo Gold Medalist Hidehiko Yoshida. His largest opponent was Sumo Grand Champion Akebono, 6′ 8″ 486lbs. Royce vs. Akebono was the main event of K-1 Premium Dynamite New Years Eve show on New Year’s Eve in 2004. Royce defeated the giant in just 2min and 13sec with a shoulder lock. Royce’s continued success has opened the eyes of many disbelievers to the importance of leverage and technique in grappling.
In November of 2003, Royce Gracie was the first fighter to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame along with fellow UFC veteran Ken Shamrock. Since then Royce’s face has has been seen on countless martial arts magazines such as Black Belt, Inside MMA and Tapout. He has also been featured in Men’s Health and Fitness and GQ and continues to give magazine and radio interviews. His recognition spans the globe to include fans on most every continent. In 2014 Royce was named one of the 50 Greatest Athletes in the World by Sports Illustrated.
Today Royce is privileged to spread the techniques perfected by his father all over the world. Throughout his busy fighting career Royce has maintained a rigorous travel schedule of seminars and classes. He currently oversees more than 55 US and international Royce Gracie Jiu-jitsu Networks. The techniques of Gracie Jiiu-jitsu have become mainstream in most martial arts dojos. Fighters everywhere are racing to learn and implement this jiu-jitsu in their training regimen.
His list of students is enormous. Royce has taught many of the big screen greats like Chuck Norris, Ed O’Neal, Guy Ritchie, Jim Carrey, Josh Duhamel and Nicholas Cage. He has also been very active with the CIA, FBI, DEA, Secret Service, Army Rangers, Army Special Forces, Navy Seals and many sheriff and police departments. His G.R.A.C.I.E. course for law enforcement has gained international recognition. Aside from teaching at his Networks across the United States, he regularly visits Canada, England, Scotland, Portugal, Spain, Israel, Australia, UAE and South America.
Royce makes his home in Southern California with his wife, Marianne, three sons, Khonry, Khor and Kheydon and daughter, Kharianna. He maintains an impressive training regimen, which includes running, weight training, cross training, meditation and countless hours of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. He is a full time professional athlete who eagerly awaits his next challenge. Recently he completed a 40 mile run with his long time trainer, James Strom. In Royce’s own words, “Go ahead, tell me what I can’t do!”

[@marklanda6824]

Great stuff!

[@texian91]

Great stuff! I’d add a tuck of the chin to the block to further diminish the probability of a knockout or getting wobbled should he connect with your face.

[@cyberdon9668]

Royce Gracie = Awesome

[@Nico18_]

Thanks

[@jordanfrancisco27]

Royce: you don't want to grapple with me. Me: no sir I dont

[@pethello3845]

All law enforcers must learn this!

[@MistaTofMaine]

Always liked Royce as fighter. Only recently saw him vs. Shamrock 2 for first time and he should have lost that fight, but showed the conflict of interest between Gracies and UFC which was interesting.

[@jojima1]

Yeah, you don't want to grapple with Royce!

[@mh6607]

Love it, but also got to watch out for protecting the taser as well

[@ChrisSmith-xw7wv]

Yeah...maybe you could teach Royce something from your armchair...not. There's always one of you in every bunch.

[@AlexanderJimenez-kk4xn]

A kind of art that is pain

[@ltdadia6354]

Ótimo vídeo !

[@snazdogdbfan251]

These look brutal as Rell

[@nmr20067]

Awesome stuff from the legend himself. And don’t worry guys, bad guys are not going to be searching KZbin looking for something like this, I assure you. Sadly for the most part they don’t need it or need to.....

[@vaidasserg]

Hey guys! Question here: what should i choose: train bjj 3 times per week and 2 times go to the gym for the strenght or train 3 times per week bjj and 2 times karate for some stand up game?

[@xy5844]

Some trainners prefer to use peridiozation, splitting months to focis on strength with less bjj classes and months with focus on bjjj with a smaller volume of strength trainning. I think it also depends on how young are you and and how much you sleep to help with recovery

[@charliequinn1743]

Gracie's need to promote a a technique I once learned . The principle is left hand grabs right wrist , then with the left hand it pushes towards the right shoulder closing the arm tightly around the neck . Then the of course with feet hook applied, then dropping the opponent to the ground turning opponent over on stomach , flattening them out . It is very effective and I've never seen Royce use it . Like a rear naked choke only he grabs a wrist closing one arm completely so there is no space in the choke . Tchau

[@maxmilaneis4903]

Royce gracie do Brasil valew

[@AAA-tc1uh]

"You don't wanna grapple with me", it depends. Would love to, while you teach me as we roll...

[@complexblackness]

Father created? You mean his older brothers along with Luis Franca and Oswaldo Fadda.

[@counterkidnapping1737]

Although he got beat by Sakuraba he still can fight some random ordinary guy out there. He's still dangerous

[@ubiquitousdiabolus]

Everybody has lost to somebody sometime.

[@davidcarik1761]

If all Officers could learn, and then keep reinforcing, just these techniques in this 7:38 lesson ... they would be WELL ahead of about 75% of ALL Officers in the United States. These basics MUST be taught to Cops!

[@jtr9492]

That dude so badass he could eat the cop and his gun...
