The upsetting thing is most Jiu Jitsu schools don't go through the self defense aspect of jits, my school included. I think all schools should teach every aspect of jits.

[@antoniostyles]

Exactly

[@dmon13]

that "black belt" guy was so nervous. Hard not to be in the presence of this legend, what Rickson demonstrates here reminds me of this quote " simplicity is the greatest form of sophistication"

[@39Hundred]

Lol this week, Rickson also appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience. Eddie Bravo was also a guest. There's a video here on KZbin that shows Eddie and Rickson talking to each other AFTER the Joe Rogan Podcast. Eddie is also showing some 10th Planet techniques to Rickson. Eddie was so excited to meet Rickson that he was speaking so fast and he is breathing so heavily. It's hilarious.

[@rikiwiki]

Marshall Street post the link to the video please!

[@John-fl3ki]

@marshall street its Eddie bravo he may just be high lol

[@erbake]

I have to say that I am very impressed with the way Rickson teaches. He is very calm, slow steps, explaining everything. It is not about showing a move and now you do it. To me, he looks like a great teacher with a great personality.

[@victormothamo]

People hating on jake, when you have a bjj demi god coming at your face you are going to squirm like a little baby

[@MrMmafan111]

True but come on?, what would he be like when an angry 250lb monster is there instead of Rickson?. Sorry 🙏, understood but it's still not good enough, this is exactly the problem with Bjj that the Gracie's have been pointing out for year's....

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

That is exactly right. Rickson is to a black belt what a black belt is to a white belt.

[@xmanc5687]

Rickson gv me privates when I first started in the 90s. Back when it was affordable LOL. I was nervous as hell being a white belt and knowing who he was. He told me the same thing too. Relax Xavier. LOL Rickson can make the best Black Belts feel inadequate. He can find the smallest flaw in anyone's techniques and expose them. If BJJ had a God, it would be Rickson.

[@k9aid514]

back in the 90s Rickson came to Niagara Falls On for a weekend seminar. I was lucky enough to be one of the 52 that where invited. Many attendee where Karate followers and black belts wearing brand new white belts. He (and his wife Kim ?) Very laid back and informative. He is my favourite

[@greasebob]

As much as some people like to hate on the Gracies, their jiu-jitsu was developed as a martial art, not a sport. Watch how Royce dealt with strikers in the early UFCs-- there was clearly more to his techniques than just "duck and shoot". We need more of this in jiu-jitsu schools today. Sport is great, but being able to defend yourself is clearly very practical for anyone, not just someone looking for medals.

[@William.H.Bonney]

It's called closing the distance. The kick is a pizon.

[@thewebmogul]

Why don't you watch video Japan Sakuraba defeated 4 top Gracie's fighters. Yes defeated Royce like a toy. lol

[@tjl4688]

[@omoplata10]

[@kenn.alexander]

But I have to say I respect Budo Jake's humility in posting this video knowing the heat he would get in the comments section.

[@whiskeybeerbeer]

Agreed, Props to him. He also looked very nervous. I know i would be with Rickson haha

[@MrT13]

@@whiskeybeerbeer I dunno. If I had the chance I wouldn’t be pushing any more than he wanted me too as well. But yes in a Gracie barra school this is exactly how he says it’s a second class move. Maybe third. Keep arm. Look left. Roll off shoulder and catch head before it even touches ground and side mount. With legs. Sitting down legs bump up and look left so friction roll off. But he definitely does look nervous lol. Like anyone who’s ever touched that kind of person where it feels like your touching a human shaped movable stone.

[@iqlogic01]

With respect to Bodo Jake, this video shows why he is Bodo Jake, cause he is always getting better, and what you learn only strengthens your skills.

[@AceofDlamonds]

@@iqlogic01 I wouldn't want Jake teaching me. Nope sorry. He has to be taught this basic shit.

“Are you Jake?” The moment he said “yes I am”, he lost the fight.

@Paul Blackman what will happen when you get another steroid dude that's a jiu-jitsu fighter as well? And what will happen when you have to stop the steroids and rest a bit? I live in Rio de Janeiro (i was born here) we, jiu-jitsu fighters see steroid dudes like stupid people that get's their ass beat easily.

[@MrMmafan111]

Trust Rickson to make a blackbelt look like a white belt!😄. Even Rickson wasn't happy that the guy didn't know the 1st defence of getting choked frm behind. You learn this after 6months of Gracie Academy!?......

[@blakeandrews3613]

John Taylor Gracie university is literally the best place to learn Jiu Jitsu in the world

[@SUPERSTUD6000]

this should be renamed "Rickson teaches BJJ black belt judo white belt fundamentals" it is appalling how many bjj blackbelts don't understand the first god damned thing about how to fight on their feet.

[@nmr20067]

I know, right??? I was thinking the same thing!!! This guy has a black belt?? He seemed lost and did not know what to do. maybe he trained just sport.

[@rommelcruzsager]

barry soetoro it depends on the lineage, these are taught in machado and gracie schools. Those that are far from the trunk, only focuses on sport jiu-jitsu.. I have a new roommate who actually think that bjj is only for competition because his instructor only teaches sport jiu-jitsu..

[@ShiddyShad808]

barry soetoro I’ve actually never met a bjj black belt who doesn’t also have a black belt in judo as well as a striking background, only on KZbin have I seen these issues, but in real life every black belt I know has legit striking and takedown techniques.

[@IHateHandleNames]

Yeah. I do jiujitsu, but I feel like the stand-up isn't there. I boxed and wrestled before so I know some, but I'd love to get the wrestling and grappling down like the ground fighting. I can say that the ground work is second to none. I roll with judo black belts, and when I get them to the ground (which means "when they throw me on my head") I can do some serious work from there.

[@luisphilipesilva]

@@ShiddyShad808 ok now so a black belt in Bjj to fight on the street as to take boxing or kickboxing lessons and judo as well ??? Is this what you are saying? Because Bjj doest have those skills now ... So if I have to do cross training for defense, so why learn Bjj when I can get all that in any mma gym? ?? A martial art should prepare you for anything. .. doing pounces and kicks, learning to defend them as well , having defenses against knifes and baseball bats learning to do stand up fighting as well ground fighting ... A martial art must have all these aspects and Bjj doesn't have them so why training in something incomplete? ???? If I have like you say to learn boxing , kickboxing and judo it's better to do MMA then instead of Bjj. ... like you said your black belt friends know to strike, kick and Bjj well they didn't learn that in jiu-jitsu school so they had to do cross training. .. so if that's the idea why training jiu-jitsu in the 1st place???? I think that what Rickson is doing its fantastic, he is trying to create what it should be done a long time ago the (densho ) of the art ....The curriculum for all Bjj schools like any other martial arts have ... he is trying to complete the jiu-jitsu and establish it as a martial art with all the Densho ruling Bjj the sport issue it's a decision of the student the art is created for self-defense and to built the virtuosity of Budo in each student for life , the competition should be a student choice and not the focus of the jiu-jitsu Rickson he is doing the right thing ...

[@tclass99]

This is one of the most amazing BJJ instructionals that I've ever seen. Figures that it's being taught by one of the sport's biggest legends. Practical street applications like these are getting lost in today's obsession with "sport BJJ".

[@1234kingconan]

It's funny watching Jake rub his hands like he's being taught to literally rub his hands by Mr. Miyagi. The impression I got by Rickson is just put your hands up and be ready in a way that looks non-fighting, not to literally rub your hands together lol

[@jaeaean5507]

I added you on my circle. How do I send you a message privately? Do you have an email address?

[@paulespino6462]

"Relax brother"... my favorite part of the vid. Hearing Rickson this relaxed was cool as was all the little bits of of the fundamentals that can be easily forgotten. Thanks for posting.

[@kenn.alexander]

Rickson must be sick to have to teach a black belt basic self defense.

[@Oakshield2]

Kenneth Alexander Ahh he seems like such a nice guy and teacher that he probably loves it.

[@prodigalbrock]

Honestly I love it because I proves Ricksons point that jj has lost its way in self defense.

[@horridedifice]

Im a white belt and #1 creating distance = controlling distance

[@DanDanJanJanJP]

Yeah! I agree. People nowadays just wanna win BJJ tournaments.

[@scarred10]

It's not commonly taught

[@doca8792]

I trained under Rickson from day one through the blue belt years. He’s the master of basics and just a cool spirit to be around. I feel blessed.

[@Faraj20]

Oldschool Helio Gracie's Jiu Jitsu Self Defense...The most JJ blackbelts nowadays don't know how to defend themselves in a street fight. Rickson always say that, and in the video, he could prove.

[@garystevenson6582]

I’d be nervous too. The LIVING LEGEND RICKSON GRACIE! What a honor.

[@atd36117]

I was very fortunate to train with Rickson at a seminar at TriAd in Cullman, Alabama, he taught us this, hard to explain, it is something you have to experience.

[@dragonballjiujitsu]

The problem here is that Jake is a sport BJJ guy. Not a Gracie Jiu-jitsu guy. I'm sure he has not done that defense in maybe 10-12 years. In sport BJJ everything starts from the ground. There is no "self defense" this is the difference in the two. Any one of my white belts would have attempted the correct throw. The level of details Rickson teaches are amazing though.

[@inkoholicanonymus6182]

dragonballjiujitsu he never shoulde be alowed to teach Bjj and no one who dont Know selfdefense!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KonaCommuterSelfImprovement]

"Are you Jake? OK I don't like you" shoves Jake in the chest. Lmao

[@preferredplumbingsolutions6711]

I love this!! But to be honest the frustrating thing for me was watching the black belt that he was working with not know basic self-defence moves. I’m a purple belt and I’m very comfortable with two or three basic self-defence moves if somebody tries to choke from the back. I agree with the other comments here that self-defence aspects are not incorporated enough in schools

[@elosoloco1000]

black belts that don't know self defense. wow

[@fcs77]

Still able to choke 99% of people in the room...

@@fcs77 And yet he can't even find the opportunity choke a regular tough guy.

[@rodrigotellom]

I totally believe Rickson Gracie might be the best jiujitsu practitioner alive. However, I'm not sure I find him the best teacher. He gets a little bit frustrated trying to explain concepts that he has developed an intuition for during decades of practice.

[@rehiza]

*Goose bumps of embarrassment*

[@dylanl9532]

this just shows how the BJJ competition guys are lacking on the self defense techniques. that's one the basic classes

[@thaitran3985]

Dylan L apparently gui mendes and his brother say most of the techniques they teach are street applicable But i dont think these stuff are taught where they stand up most of the time for sport jiu jitsu classes

PLEASE HAVE MORE VIDEOS OF THE SAME GRAPPLERS YOU'VE HAD ON TO SHOW SOME SELF DEFENSE TECHNIQUES... IF THEY CAN? SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE.....THIS SHOULD BE A TURNING POINT FOR THIS CHANNEL. THANKS AGAIN!!!

[@owenblack4637]

Rickson has so many stripes on his belt it's like he's trolling us.

[@jesusthroughmary]

@phoenix8129 And he has actually has one more stripe that he doesn't wear yet because he doesn't want to be seen as getting favoritism, so he just keeps it locked in a safe for now.

if you think about this ..this is probably the first person ...which I shouldn't use the term person ..master ! what I'm getting at its the first person that Budo Jake has interviewed on his show that's actually talked about self defence ..a bigger guy approaching you that might head butt you !! . .. and I believe this is the reason we all started jiu jitsu ..Royce Gracie kicked everybody ass in UFC..now we are talking to unbelievable bjj guys ..but to my knowledge not one has talked about what to do on the street.. we hear about what's the latest ...but all advanced high end techniques that I don't think I'd ever use if I was approached in the street.. no question rolling is amazing ..and the best part of a class...but self defence is lost !!! And I believe that's why we all started BJJ..

[@swedd2]

Rickson should truly be appointed to lead bjj back into the right direction so the new generation doesn't lose the roots our true Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, the Jiu-Jitsu Global federation is much needed organization for the world of bjj. Also please post more videos of Ricksons techniques!

[@davidtownsend7520]

My thoughts exactly!

[@chicodominicano]

My thoughts exactly, pretty sad.

[@JoshLavian]

Draculino is Gracie Barra. That's a pretty silly statement you made.

[@Seegie16]

That is a very ignorant statement. I started out at a school that the professor was a black belt from barra. He got his bb in 89 and opened up an acedemy in us in 1995. Its was very self defense intensive. I quit long ago and just a few months back i started again at a btt school and this school from what i have seen so far is zero sd. But it is very sports intensive and I must say these sport bjj students steamroll me far more easily than my barra brethren who were sd heavy.

[@btownshreds1]

What are you 10th planet? Lmao

[@iFlowWithTheGo]

Brilliant. Even better that the assisting black belt appeared naive to the moves, despite himself wearing a black belt. Great stuff and shows that even black belts have plenty to learn.

"Invisible power" it is just amazing ! Thank you Master Rickson Gracie

[@JK-zq9vw]

I’m a 40yr old disabled Vet. With a spine injury and it kills me that I only learned about BJJ and the Gracie family after that injury. My wife and I are still trying to have a child, but without a doubt, boy or girl, will have jujitsu so they don’t have to be afraid of bigger and faster bully’s. I was a small kid and the only way I could stop a bigger kid was to just explode with every ounce of strength and energy only to lead to more fights and conflict. I just wanted to disappear, I just wanted to be a kid. Now, when I’m in public I feel like a bigger target now in my chair. It even keeps me from traveling to visit other countries.

[@AnglandAlamehnaSwedish]

Same here n I got black belt in sport BJJ but purple in Gracie jiu jitsu n my cane makes me feel like a target n my soon to be 16 yr old daughter doesn't understand wat it does for you it gives you so much more than winning all your fights

[@WebDominatorSEO]

Its recently come to my attention that the BJJ guys do not practice Basic Self Defense, and according to Rickson, most BJJ are more interested in sport and being able to spar or fight other BJJ artist. I personally think that the white belts should learn nothing but basic self defense before going into the BJJ sparring against other BJJ. Makes sense, right?

[@BudoDave76]

WebDominatorSEO not really. BJJ self defense is boring. Sport Jiu jitsu is fun.

[@WebDominatorSEO]

If its boring they should stick to some traditional JuJitsu Self Defense Throws and take downs etc. That's what I do, and I never get bored practicing and teaching. Everyone should do what they feel is best for them though, Im not going to there to fight for someone else if they are in a self defense situation, and they are not going to be there for me, so I need to do what I feel is best for myself.

@@BudoDave76 Sport may be fun, but you can get to black belt without ever having a punch thrown at you.

There really is a difference between Sport oriented MA's and styles that are for self defense or hand to hand combat. I think sports have hurt the martial arts in that many styles don't teach proper self defense anymore.

It's definitely my own insecurities. You're right.

[@TheTardstrong]

For everyone that has a serious problem with what Ryron and Rener have done with their Combatives system, let me tell you that their absolute main focus is street readiness and I have yet to see a more thought out and organized system in ANY martial art, much less BJJ. I know Rickson probably does not approve of distance learning through DVDs but they share the same real world fighting principles. ...and Jake did a great job in the interview. I would be nervous as hell too!

[@tjl4688]

Rickson doesn't mind distance learning, but he took issue with giving out blue belts online. That has changed with the introduction of the Combatives Belt, which is just a technical/ceremonial belt. Now all official belt test and stripe tests must be done in person.

Rickson is an absolute legend, thanks for the great show!

[@seanporter6431]

I am thoroughly irritated that jake keeps putting his hands down by his side as Rickson approaches him instead of having his hands in front. He is ripe to be sucker punched that way

[@miguelrodriguez1214]

Well he is a GRACIE BARRA black belt lol

[@TulanePass]

This wee! This wee! My wee!

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

hahahahahah

[@MrDoctor...]

He's making a black belt look like a white belt GEEZ 😬 Its scary how insanely good he is

[@acangial1]

I get how "Jake" was nervous being in front of a living legend, but for FFS he seemed to forget everything about self defense.

[@Ullish1989]

I'm a 4 strap white belt and I think it's clear he doesn't know any self defense. We drill all of this every week...

[@tjl4688]

Yeah, I'm willing to bet Jake didn't forget anything; moreso he probably never learned.

[@jamesfrance57]

The man made a black belt look like a beginner. I'm pretty sure he could melt an opponent just by looking at him.

[@Budovideosdotcom]

He's really an incredible practitioner of the art

[@ropongi1008]

This has always been one of my favorite videos, even now in 2020. As much as I have always loved this video, I still have to point out that nobody would ever through a punch like that (the way Rickson threw a slow/simulated punch at Jake and Jake deflected it) in a real fight. But its still an excellent video, and BTW, I would be so nervous to do a video with Rickson and then post it, that must have been nerve wrecking. Much respect to Jake.

Nerve wrecking

[@padialjiujitsu]

Um dos momento clássicos de como um praticante de esporte JiuJitsu é um alien. Totalmente perdido. Não sabe nada sobre arte marcial. Como este exemplo existe uma legião na mesma situação.

[@mrswolls]

Lol Yes, yes i am. Ok i dont like ju.

[@wingsweep1]

rickson makes every blackbelt look like a whitebelt

[@auroramanning6610]

awkward! how many other coloured belts watching this felt a bit uneasy watching that "basic second class self defence move"... food for thought,

[@Austinkungfuacademy]

Good stuff. Lower your hips, weight slightly forward. Wrestling basics.

[@AndiBlair1492]

Love Rickson, but this just isn't practical... Anyone here heard of Geoff Thompson - pioneer of 'The Fence' *shrugs. #BJJ

[@mark9104]

I would think it is probably because of different background, Geoff used to be a doorman in Coventry where it was famously violent, so everyone approaching he would have to expect an attack. I am sure you read his book where he talked about about pre-emptive strike as well. In Brazil as one of the top Gracie, most of the fights (other than Vale Tudo) Rickson had I would think were challenges, in dojo or from other school. If you watch those early Gracie videos you see a lot coming from close quarter insult then slap then a fight, so his style would work, because it would be a chest to chest bluffing, slap, scuffle then groundwork

[@MsSuperww]

This is not practical?! Come on! Not only this guy and many of his family members have had many street fights, fighting challenges and professional vale-tudo fights, but it is clear for whoever sees the video that it is functional and practical what he is teaching. Maybe Geoff Thompson does have a better approach or better techniques to show. We should check it. But to say this is not practical is really too much! What he is teaching is only a small part of what he knows and teaches to his students and it is clear that what he is teaching coulde be used by many individuals in many circumstances. Some people seem to believe that every street fight will be some ruthless battle against some fighting specialist coming out of the UFC. Thats not reality in most cases though. And the techniques used by the Gracies already have been proved effective to deal with many circumstances, even against bigger, stronger and well trained opponents.

[@harvestblades]

Loved it when a trained killer grabbed Jake by the shoulder chuckles, & says "relax my brother". Probably going to do everything, but make you relax. I guess a variation of the old sniper saying- If you run you'll only die tired works here as well. If you struggle you'll only tap tired.

[@rsj9701]

Rickson says, "relax".. more than anything.. I wish I had a local school.. Not an "online academy".. :)
