Royce is the kind of man you just listen to. Ask questions, but let him speak, because he's full of wisdom and 100% bad-ass. TERRANCE OUT

[@SullyAfgarshe]

Straight facts…you cannot be undisciplined if you want to be truly great

[@Uuusssaaas]

Unless your father is rich.

[@SullyAfgarshe]

@@Uuusssaaas that doesn’t guarantee you’ll be great; being great at something doesn’t necessarily mean you will be rich. True wealth doesn’t come from your bank account either.

[@Uuusssaaas]

​@@SullyAfgarshe I know. My comment wasn't serious. There are a lot of people who are born on 3rd base and think they hit a triple. And in my experience, genius often does skip a generation. Money helps, but talent mixed with drive, discipline and hard work is often the key to success. A little bit of luck is also necessary in every case, because in life there is always someone better who doesn't get the right opportunity.

[@user-ud7ko4cq1n]

Dagestani fighters are elite at two things: #1- cardio, and #2- smothering techniques. The cardio also helps them maintain constantly active striking, even for 5 rounds if necessary, and their smothering techniques makes it so once they've wrapped their arms, it's extremely hard to break free. They slowly wear everyone down to exhaustion.

[@Austinkungfuacademy]

I love Royce. But that's a little too simplistic of an explanation about the Dagestani fighters. They have superior technique. Discipline is one thing. Fighting real live bears as part of your training is more than just discipline.

[@roronoazoro2970]

It’s not only dagestan, the bordering republics like chechnya and that whole caucasus mountain region always had a warrior culture with thousands of years of conflict. On top of that they’re conservative Muslims living within Russia? Yeah no doubt these guys will naturally be some of the toughest on the planet

i can see it both ways, a lot of athletes have great discipline, but dagestanis and their neighbouring region are just different, discipline is the culture and the society, not just individual thing. but it's because of their discipline they have honed their skills to the level theyve achieved today. but i think once those countries become developed and capitalist, they will also lose their marbles and become average like the rest of the world. it's good that they don't have much.

[@oliveraparicio8464]

Are you really that dumb to think they actually send their trainee to fight bears. Lol! They have created a training style that produces superior fighters, and the UFC is broadcasting it to the world. When MMA is fused with religiosity(Islam) you get better focus/disciplined fighters.

[@PickleLicker357]

If you also look they are popped for roids in wrestling like every 2 months and I doubt they are getting tested up their obviously they are insanely good but that’s just something to think abt

[@roronoazoro2970]

@@PickleLicker357 usada even officially apologized to islam because they realised he really wasn’t on roids. And let’s not act like other countries athletes aren’t doped to the grills as well. You know the fda only has certain types of medication that are legal in the usa and most of them are synthetically made. Meanwhile in Russia and other countries there’s literally natural medicines used for heart pain or different purposes yet they’re illegal in the usa under the FDA. Popping hot on a test doesn’t automatically means it was steroids that’s something to think about

[@nasirosman4605]

Very very true... everything is discipline.... period

[@paulstoyek381]

Earth to J.R...Royce wrote a strength and conditioning book years ago.. Word to the wise- its not for beginners..

Where was this 4 years ago

[@christophercirocco8611]

Legitimate badass

[@ANTIINJECTIONS]

Hate to simplify things too much, but the Dagestanis don't drink alcohol or do drugs, and eat extremely healthy. Everyone should be distilled/primary water fasting multiple times a year.

[@user-vu3nn8lt4d]

Royce converted to Islam by the way

This guy is lying out of his teeth. Ran 41 miles in one day lol

[@T6travels]

What makes you think that? A marathon is 26 miles (42 kilometers) and there’s ultra marathons which can go over 100 miles! Just because it’s not possible for an average person doesn’t mean it’s not accomplishable.

Royce Gracie is a super Athlete and coaches special forces soldiers from around the world.

[@findawaytowin2968]

@@CoolAdam247he’s not a “super athlete”. The whole reason the Gracie’s chose him to be the one repping Gracie jiu jitsu in ufc1 was because if they chose some of the other dudes it would just make bjj look like it’s about strength and power.

[@GuiPb]

​​@@findawaytowin2968 yeah, this man BORN training in a family witch the main hall is a tatami. Yeah he's not a super athlete,you are! 😂😂😂😂

[@stormblade1199]

A marathon is slightly over half that distance and is ran in far less than a day so I don't see why you can't understand this... 9 seconds 100 meter sprint is Olympic level but that doesn't mean an elementary school kid can't run it in 20 seconds wtf😂

[@Someone_KhabibbeatsJonesEASILY]

It's because of ALLAH (SWT), no one wins without ALLAH's (SWT) permission, it's cuz Islam is the only true religion.

Muslim fighters aren't good unless they come from the caucauses and central asia. I am Muslim myself but stop bringing in religion when majority of Muslim countries absolutely suck at fighting.
