[@jamesapeterson]

I am a black belt under 2 Rickson Gracie black belts, Luiz Calaudio and Thiago Veiga. I went to a 2 day long Rickson seminar in Shaumber, IL in 2013. And let me just say that Rickson makes everyone feel like they don't know much. He is famous for details and modifications of techniques. He taught this exact same technique to a room of 200 people, many of them HIS OWN BLACK BELTS. I didn't roll him, but I guess you feel even dumber when you do, from all accounts. I don't see why everyone is picking on Jake. He is open to the smallest details on the most basic of movements. That is what a martial artist should be like. He is a black belt. His black belt has nothing to do with your belt. Just as his understanding of technique has nothing to do with yours. Just like Rickson's understanding of technique has nothing to do with yours. Be a martial artist and have some humility. Nobody knows everything. Zip it and go train jiu-jitsu.

[@MartinHaumann1]

Perfekt James!

[@jims512]

Seriously. Props to Jake for being the guinea pig. I doubt anyone criticizing him over the internet would have the guts to put himself out there like that.

[@TakedownBreakdown]

👍

[@msn7598]

Do you know Berto?

[@auggied6760]

I've taken privates with both Luiz Calaudio and Thiago Veiga, and you've got some of the best teachers. Rickson is unlike anyone else; he's a true master.

[@syncopoly]

Props to BUDO Jake for doing this. A huge part of martial arts is humility. TO post this he is obviously putting himself out there to be criticized by haters on the internet. However, he is doing an invaluable service to the BJJ community showing this video. Awesome Jake, I've always liked your videos and respected your open mindedness in martial arts, but now you have 110% of my respect! oss!!!

[@SOLROSENBERG2]

+ 1. Hats off to Jake. Fantastic lesson.

[@JasonKrueger]

+1 thank you organizing this lesson and putting it out there, Jake! Simple concepts can't be overstated.

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

I agree entirely. I had the same feeling while watching this that Jake is very humble to put this out there for all to see. I'm sure it would be a humbling experience for anyone to have a lesson with Rickson

[@whiskeybeerbeer]

Thats how you grow. Look at your weaknesses honestly and work them out.

[@profd65]

syncopoly What the fuck are you talking about?? Criticized?? Humility?? That's Rickson Gracie; maybe you should Google the name. You act like Jake is being taught a lesson by a blue belt.

[@abiwankinobi]

I've been in BJJ for almost 3 years now. I never saw someone paint such a complete picture of what jiu-jitsu actually is. He's clearly a fantastic instructor with immense clarity and vision. At first it's invisible, but then you really see what's really going on in the movement, the pressure, the positioning. I'm really looking forward to the future for BJJ with Rickson Gracie taking charge.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I recently purchased his new Self-Defense Unit series. I've been training under a Rickson Gracie blackbelt for over a decade now and still find it valuable. The biggest advantage I feel is how Rickson tells you where your weight should be and that can make all the difference in making things click.

[@megiMove]

It's it a video purchase or book ? Where can u buy it ?

[@mistermendola]

Respect to Jake for putting his ego aside for this. No shame in being corrected by Rickson Gracie, no matter what your rank.

[@silveronthehill]

I disagree a little bit. It would show a real putting aside of ego if it was say a white belt that was correcting Jake (assuming that the person actually could correct technique). Allowing a higher degree black belt to correct your technique is just maintaining beginners mind.

[@silveronthehill]

one additional thing real quick, white belts are actually very good teachers for black belts because they don't have those programed responses/movement, they show how someone on the street will respond. shows how good your technique really is.

[@mistermendola]

point taken David Arginteanu, but still- he's publicly exposing flaws in his most basic of basic, bjj101 fundamentals as a black belt. sure, we could probably think of plenty more ego-destroying exercises if we brainstormed, but i'm still impressed with this.

[@silveronthehill]

+mister mendola, very good point. I didn't think about the public side for some reason. Thanks.

[@emanizzle]

Good googely moogely. I have a feeling this isn't the first time Rickson has made a black belt into a blue belt.

[@NinjaBear567]

White belt

[@bangermccrusher]

NinjaBear567 No belt

[@omadaw]

And won't be the last time

[@ffontesb]

A real samurai. It's a honor to see Rickson Gracie teaching the real jiu jitsu. How many black belts in the universe felt themselves like a child after this video. Thanks you Master.

[@dulekulp88]

Wow, I'm in awe, what a privilege it must be to have a 1on1 session like this with Rickson.

[@hillerm]

Rickson please release a multi-hour instructional! That was amazing!

[@dedfoker]

yes!!!

[@ChowChow414]

He is going to be releasing something on GU soon.

[@ikon8275]

It's crazy how much I learned just from watching this.

[@raulcervantes014]

I'm sure it isn't easy to humble yourself in front of an audience like youtube but Jake did it. Much respect for Jake. He's the man.

[@danocardoso]

I start to training jiu-jitsu in 1988 because of the Rickson Gracie!! He is the man!!

[@zibtihaj3213]

how did you know about him in 1988 ?

[@danocardoso]

AIMANALI I`m From Manaus and jiu-jitsu started here in 1976!!! you know land of Jacaré, Xande and Saulo Ribeiro, Fredson Paixao, Bibiano, Wallid Ismail, Jose Aldo, Omar Salum. Kiki, Paulo Coelho, Fredson Alves, Rodrigo Ribeiro, Barga Neto and so go on.. all my friends was looking for VHS tapes about Bruce Lee and I got one about Rickson x Zulu fight in 1983 and some others jiu-jitsu fighters!! so I discovered that we got our own Brazilian Samurai!!!

[@pedrobordini3703]

Gringo acho que Jiu-jitsu é só depois do UFC

[@AceofDlamonds]

@@danocardoso Nice.

[@Oakshield2]

0:20 "I'd like to show you something invisible" That's what she said. Rickson's the best.

[@COMMON-SENSE501]

godDMN!! I'm good, I SAW the invisible ,guess I'm the choossen one ;-)

[@kenshiba5813]

I think this video is a great example of one of the benefits of getting a private (1on1) lesson versus a normal group class. Not saying groups are bad (variety of classmates, etc.) but a private every now-n-then is a good way to sharpen specific skills.

[@Seegie16]

I fully agree and not only from Rickson. Ive taken privates from no name Barra black belts and if you ask them to teach the basics theys show you this same upa with the ame head movement detail. In a group class its easy for the teacher to overlook this little detail and just show the technique. Sometimes you really have to observe the shapes that the teachers bodies are making and not just listen to the detail. Your eyes can show you more than your ears.

[@gpoor]

keep your feet on th- yeeeeeessssss

[@heavyribassmaiden4924]

kkkkkkkkklol

[@COMMON-SENSE501]

hahahaha, now let me show you the invisible ;-)

[@rickwilliams7290]

I could see your invisible thoughts. "Holy shit I'm rolling with Rickson!!!"

[@JCBPARISPARIS]

Rickson succeeds in being both an exceptional fighter and an exceptional teacher by the quality of his remarks, correcting many important points.

[@chillpapa]

Thanks to Jake for doing it wrong. I got teary eyed imagining Rickson correcting me. Awesome.

[@DOHCG]

You will,believe me

[@victorgatelljr.5753]

My favorite Rixon story; I was attending a seminar in Miami, I paid $400 for a two day course, and I was having difficulty with an armbar from the Guard. My partner called Rixon and he came over and watched me for a few attempts without success. Then, like an uncle or a brother, he put his hand on my shoulder and said " my brother, you lose 40 pounds and you get that armbar". That was the most expensive lesson I ever got. But I loved it, his honesty and devotion to Jiu Jitsu are hard to find.

[@hockysa]

the smallest details with the biggest impact. Thanks to both Budo and Rickson for this video

[@ShiddyShad808]

My first bjj teacher Brandon Hetzler is a black belt under Rickson Gracie and this exact technique right here was one of the very first things I learned when joining back in 09'. The "upa straight back and never to the side" along with many other "invisible techniques" that I use to this very day, I find some purple belts at other schools haven't yet learned, essential things the Rickson Gracie style regarded as basics that all white belts should know before earning the first stripe are literally neglected by the large influx of bjj schools and teachers that like to focus on fast pace tournament style teaching.

[@devygoodtimes]

We had a seminar from a Rickson black belt a few weeks ago (Shane Rice) and he taught us these details on the upa escape....and it literally blew our minds. Can't believe I'm watching this video right now straight from the boss.

[@themushroomwizard]

Shane Rice Victory Jiu Jitsu

[@devygoodtimes]

themushroomwizard yep he more dropped by for training, awesome guy and teacher

[@brandonmejia524]

RIckson is a JEDI.... Kron was his padawan... Did you hear at the end Jake asks a question and Rickson- "Pick any other one" like a bad ass

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I wish the video went on a bit longer. Sounded like they were about to have a great conversation at the very end.

[@joealias2594]

that'll cost you the big bucks

[@jiujitsu6393]

What a master, I'm blown away.

[@A2TMFJ]

Jake, you did it again, unprecedented! Offering the entire martial arts community such a treat, thank you.

[@MartinJutras]

Rickson is light years ahead of everyone in Bjj.

[@ChrisGRealtor]

I tried the technique Rickson showed with the umpa and got it in class today. I was like damn this is crazy.

[@tjl4688]

Yep! Upa goes diagonally, it's not a bridge. Finally managed to do this on someone 40lbs heavier than me.

[@MojoBrasil]

What a privilege! A true Master, a true Samurai: Master Rickson Gracie - the best of all times! Thank you!

[@rikiwiki]

This is the best ive seen in Budo videos! Jiu Jitsu without self defense is like an arrow with no bows! Please inform more on jiu jitsu self defense!

[@elbeedee1910]

Man, what an honor. That was invaluable. I need more.

[@joaomoraes5230]

He is a great master. Extremely technical.

[@TeeJJ_BJJ]

A true master of his craft.

[@SurveyofFilmMusic]

Makes me feel I'm going to the right school! Valente Brothers (Miami). Helio certified instructors. Not too many can tout that!

[@pendejo6466]

It's moments like these I love KZbin.

[@raulbaclhau]

Thanks for posting this. Invaluable lessons from one of the greatest.

[@Valaskjold]

ok, so I want a 4 dvd instructional with this kind of stuff, pls get on it.

[@blipblop9094]

I love how rickson talks to him like teaching child and makes grunt noises.

[@Dieseldominican]

RIckson is the MAN! A true Legend and Master of the art of BJJ.

[@santannakarate]

This mans is teh Amabassador of true GJJ!! Genius!!

[@painin2teeth]

Thank you for posting

[@bnimn-qw1xq]

He's like, "have you ever done this before?" LOL poor guy

[@hakim.a78]

Big thumbs up for that excellent episode. It was all I would expect from GJJ. Thanks a lot Budo Jake, keep the good work!

[@salmanalthani7753]

I wish this video was longer , Thank you Jake and Budo team for this. Truly amazing.

[@juanefranco4569]

WOW just amazing, both the interviewer and interviewed, congrats and lots to meditate on from this.

[@user-wrtyh2bnhk-wernty3nb]

absolutely amazing knowledge, thank you master Rickson

[@robixmor5857]

Only the best can explain things in a clear and understandable way for everyone. As a complete beginner, I was so happy to watch this video. Mr. Rickson is a great and humble teacher that makes me love BJJ. Thank you Budo Jake for sharing these beautiful moments with us.

[@KingBedlam]

Hats off to Jake for posting this up. You are a true BB for admitting that you also make mistakes.

[@DefconUnicorn]

This is a pure gold tip, nothing short.

[@PeteRockChronicles]

Damn. What a perfect breakdown and compliment to a staple technique.

[@dashady187]

4:15 made me laugh out loud.

[@williebeaminiv1928]

These videos are amazing. Just a minor tweak can make a huge difference. Thank you for these videos Budo. 🤙🏾🙏🏾

[@FabianoRomanBeraldifrb]

This is great! Thanks for sharing!

[@mustang77ism]

Jake, awesome video! Props for being humble; it was really great. Rickson, you're a living legend and I hope the JJ community embraces your principles of making JJ more effective....there is always room for improvement regardless of level. It takes maturity and courage to recognize our weaknesses; your a great Master.

[@p0werl0ve]

great video, great visualization of the invisible part

[@mariomonaco1566]

Rickson is The KING.... Great Teacher ..... Knows how to pass on the information.....

[@dedfoker]

weight distribution at its finest.... rickson is a legend

[@jiu-jitsu]

What amazes me is the ability Rickson has to grasp what the student (not his) knew as he planned his lesson plan and he was dead on as Jake didn't know the basics. That is what the coral belt represents: mileage.

[@Seegie16]

I bet you Jake learned the upa the right way from Carlinhos and Feitosa but after years of doing more advanced techniques you forget that little invisible detail. And Rickson knows that a majority forget. It could have been any black belt. Ive even heard Ricksons own black belts are humbled on something very basic when he comes in and teaches. If you dont practice that basic invisible stuff and start moving ob to advanced stuff for years, you forget. Simple as that.

[@hvac-specialist]

Gotta love that moment when he said that was me 5 minutes ago.

[@KIRYUCO69]

i am overwhelmed... this art is beautiful

[@jroberts552]

I'm a blue belt in Sacramento, and I watched this video before yesterdays class and was able to implement it that day. It was amazing what a difference it made in my rolls.

[@KingVudoo771978]

Ricksons u r a master genius! That bridge n roll with ur head move to the side? That little detail helped me immensely.

[@powerage261]

he's teaching a black belt like if he was a white belt xD awesome

[@tclass99]

4 years late to the party but just wanted to echo what others have said already.... THANK YOU JAKE for doing this. Never mind what the haters say. This had to be an amazing experience for you and we're all privileged to have seen it and followed along.

[@MasterWingman]

a great message from a great teacher.

[@justicejustice6391]

Rickson makes it simple. AWESOME teacher!

[@DavidLee-no9uc]

WOW! Rickson is AWSOME!... Thank You Sir for your teaching's! 3:)

[@lipereis6]

Congratulations Jake, your videos are do amazing, but this one is special, Rickson is different from everything I have saw in Jiu Jitsu, thank you for bringing him

[@sendtextmessageto]

thanks for the teaching

[@1qas23]

BudoJake getting schooled on day 1 basics by Rickson...Simply AMAZING!

[@crokengaming]

It's so astonishing how very subtle changes have such big effects. It's practically magical. What an honor it must be to get the opportunity to train with a true master.

[@antjmi]

Legend Rickson Gracie!! Amazing episode :O)

[@DUARTE99]

This blew my mind. Rickson always will be the man!

[@paulbolger9408]

Thank you Budo Jake

[@area859]

This information is GOLD!!! #Hespect #Legend #Rickson

[@georgel.3357]

OMG. I just started my GJJ journey about 3.5 months ago under Prof. Leonardo Xavier (a 5th BB under Rickson) and learned this basic mount escape within the 1st month....I am so blessed. 🙏

[@Titanium516]

Wow, awesome video. Thank you

[@tumtum821]

Awesome training videos!

[@hamadalrowaie6882]

We need more of this !! 😍🤩

[@TPSTraining]

This 4 videos are for free an much better than the OnlineInstructional that Rickson brought out, which was cut & made bad. I love Rickson!

[@peterpaul9375]

small secret details makes all the difference in the world!

[@awakenotwoke6930]

Simply excellent.

[@rmoreno007]

Grandmaster RIckson makes everyone look like a white belt.

[@davebond7380]

So great to see

[@firas53]

Rickson is my fave jiu Jitsu master. Excellent knowledge!

[@diasspeed]

He is such a great teacher! He did not just say "put your head on the side" and roll. He explained the whole concept with details.

[@gboyhitdaspot]

talk about a gracie breakdown or an instructor who speaks similar to bruce lee philosophies... this is the ULTIMATE! A living legend is at hand here..Best BJJ episode and thanks Jake!

[@filipemendesadv]

Great comments around here. Thanks 4 the video!

[@KuyaManzano]

thank you such. love this invisible tricks!

[@Umuliuz]

As a fresh white belt, already graced with the experience of being profoundly stuck in mount under a much heavier guy, this is pure gold. Looking forward to next practice. Thank you.

[@keyboardbeats]

Good to see Rickson making vids!

[@mattg3537]

"Yeeeeesssssss" -Rickson Gracie

[@Puppyplay1]

Humbling, wow. The most brilliant mind that ever stepped on to a mat.

[@smallnumbers36]

Geez Master Rickson is a wizard.

[@Bill-Butcher]

Amazing, Rickson is the master.

[@elandashing1814]

I've always been a little unsure of what makes Rickson so great. I really feel like I saw it in this video,, with his mastery of the fine details that can make the difference between knowing a technique , and mastering it.

[@tamegomait]

Wise words at the end

[@auggied6760]

After watching this again and again I can see how Rickson is a rare master. He has respect for his student, and that is rare. And he has an understanding of the tiniest movements that make the biggest differences. I have learned from his two students, Tiago and Luis, and the Rickson method is a whole new experience. They can be successful in slow motion as well as on the fly, which is a test of how effective a technique really is.

[@kuntepercanavar2383]

These little details works on every aspect of life the more you do something the more you find more efficient ways to do it even on simpliest tasks

[@mrniceshoes2118]

These videos are invaluable !!Jake did us all a great service this thing is what?, six years old still comes in handy because everybody starts at some point there are people right now as we speak but next year they’re going to start in these videos are going to really help

[@scotchguru]

Nuances....so awesome.
