They guy translating for Rickson is one of the best kept secrets in Japan. He’s one of the best Jiujitsu Sensei in Japan, a Rickson Gracie Blackbelt, his dojo is amazing, and he’s the President of the Japanese Jiujitsu Federation of Japan.
He’s a very deep guy. I’m blessed to have gone from day one to blue belt directly under him. Life philosophy learned on the mat. He’s helped me tremendously.
Now you should level up and learn from John Danaher or Craig jones they are far better than Rickson ever was and I did idolise Rickson and trained a lot at Gracie Barra back in late nineties. You would get smashed around by Danaher purple belts sorry for the reality check I used to think Rickson was invisible but even the top Gracie barra students would let Rickson beat them. Ever wonder why he didn't roll with Sperry and Roger etc
@@glennmahoney3911 I’m not doubting you. My point isn’t about being on either end of a good “smesh”. My point is how Rickson is very philosophical and ties in Jiu Jitsu to real life. In one summer class he shut the doors, turned the heaters on, made us do crazy warm ups, the place was a sauna. He made us practice breathing for an hour in order to find our calm. He went on to say that there’s always a way out if you stay calm, not just on the mat but also in real life. That shit kinda helps when you’ve an unexpected pregnant wife, no income, and a brother that was just murdered…as was my case at the time.
I have watched many many videos, And by far, this is the most wonderful teaching of Jiu Jitsu I have ever seen. I am so grateful for this incredible video. ¡Gracias! Oosss!
Incredible thank you Rickson for spreading your knowledge and caring about people learning more than one element of jiu jitsu. It goes much deeper than people may realise.
Nine out of ten people who clicked on this video will be disappointed with what was presented by Rickson in this seminar. They will go on to another Jiu-Jitsu video on here not knowing what a gem and refreshing change this is compared to the direction most Jiu-Jitsu instructors and practitioners are headed today.
Truer words could never have been spoken - Too many young guys today just want to fight and have lost the respect learned in a true martial artist and the culture it came from - Rickson seems to now be trying to bring that back to the schools - He is a treasure - LEGEND - BUSHIDO 🙏😎💪
Rickson Gracie’s book Breath inspired me to try jujitsu after I hit a new low in life I became very aggressive and angry at the world feeling like I no longer new where my place was and feeling like I didn’t wanna be here anymore my mental health went really down hill. I started doing Gracie Barra Jiu jitsu I’m only a white belt I do feel like it has been a huge positive that has helped me stand on my feet again Thank You
Love this. He speaks much about the same principles shared with aikido. It was for these same reasons mentioned here by Rickson that Gozo Shioda moved away from Judo in his younger years into Aikido with OSensei. It’s lovely to see Rickson Gracie moving in this direction with his thinking. Jujitsu as a way of life snd not simply a sport. Love it!
I've watched this video every several months since I began doing jiujitsu, and I'm a purple belt now. Every time I watch it, I get something new. Today I wrote down 9:59 "the idea of jiujitsu is to make him feel stronger with invisible power against a bigger opponent." He didn't say "one of the ideas." He said "THE." I love this as the bedrock of the entire philosophy.
Reality check go to B team or Danaher take your black belt instructor and you will walk out a white maybe blue belt at best and your instructor will realise he's a beginner purple belt
MAESTRO Such a pleasure and Honor to watch and continue to learn your special talents and skills of “Invisible Jiu Jitsu”.... I have had Honor 2 times To Meet and train with you on mat in Ventura,Ca. And Prof.Fabio always reminds us of the “Invisible” subtleties Of this Great self defense....I really enjoyed seeing you here again.... RESPECT....Blessings....OSS !
Vale Tudo Japan In 1994, Rickson was contacted by Erik Paulson to compete in Satoru Sayama's event Vale Tudo Japan. Gracie traveled to Japan and participated in the tournament, firstly facing Daido-juku stylist Yoshinori Nishi. Gracie took him down and Nishi answered with a lockdown from half guard, but the Brazilian was able to pass his guard and catch him with a rear naked choke when Nishi turned his back. He later faced much larger wing chun practitioner Dave Levicki, but he was an even easier prey once taken down, and Rickson won by TKO after a flurry of punches. Gracie then fought American kickboxer Bud Smith at the finals, winning by the same method in even less time and getting the tournament's victory. The same year, pro wrestler Yoji Anjo came to Rickson's dojo to challenge him, after failed negotiations about Gracie wrestling for Union of Wrestling Force International. Gracie was the faster in the fight and performed abundant ground and pound on Anjo, who did not surrender, so Gracie choked him unconscious. A year later, Gracie was invited again to the next Vale Tudo Japan. In the first round he faced pro wrestler Yoshihisa Yamamoto from Fighting Network Rings, who unlike Rickson's previous opponents managed to keep him away from the mat by using the ropes and even tried a guillotine choke. However, Gracie eventually took him down and choked him. He squared against another pro wrestler in the form of Koichiro Kimura, swiftly defeating him, then met shoot wrestler Yuki Nakai at the finals. Nakai, who was almost blind from an earlier match against Gerard Gordeau, put up strong resistance to Rickson, but the Brazilian master managed to take his back and choke him for another tournament win. PRIDE In 1997, Gracie signed up to a fight against Yoji Anjo's superior Nobuhiko Takada in the Pride 1 event. Before the Tokyo Dome's 47,860 spectators, Rickson defeated the inexperienced Takada, mounting him and locking an armbar in 4:47. Immediately after the event, Fighting Network Rings's chairman Akira Maeda challenged Gracie, but got no answer.[9] Now enjoying a growing popularity in Japan, according to Gracie he was proposed to fight Mario Sperry at Pride 3, but the process was stopped due to Carlson Gracie's disavowal.[10] Pride management also offered him to take Royce Gracie's place in his cancelled match with Mark Kerr, but he refused, citing one month to be a too short time to prepare.[10] Finally, Rickson agreed to sign up to a rematch against Takada at Pride 4, stating: "I feel Takada is a warrior and deserves the chance to try and redeem himself."[10] In their rematch, Takada had improved and was able to wrestle Rickson to neutralize his groundwork advantage, but the Brazilian master used a failed leglock attempt from the Japanese to sweep him and mount him. Nonetheless, Takada kept fighting under the jiu-jitsu master, dismounting him and threatening with a heel hook attempt, but Gracie, who was waiting until the end of the round to prevent Takada from capitalizing should he miss his opportunity,[11] applied an armbar and submitted him again. Colosseum In May 2000, after Takada understudy Kazushi Sakuraba defeated Royler Gracie in the Pride 8 event, he took the mic and challenged Rickson, who was in the Gracie corner, but nothing came of it.[12] Gracie preferred to face Pancrase's retired ace Masakatsu Funaki at Colosseum event. The event almost got canceled, as Rickson demanded special rules which forbade elbows, headbutts, knee strikes and thrusts to the head or body (standing or on the ground), but the Pancrase management eventually conceded.[13] At the event, held at the Tokyo Dome and broadcast to 30 million TV Tokyo viewers, Gracie and Funaki started the fight clinching to the corner. Masakatsu appeared to have secured a guillotine choke, but the hold was loose and Rickson managed to go to the mat. They traded kicks to no effect, until some well timed upkicks from Gracie blew out Funaki's gravely injured knee. They clinched again, but the Japanese's injury rendered him unable to wrestle Rickson correctly, and he was taken down by the Brazilian grappler, who promptly mounted him. Masakatsu looked stunned while Rickson bloodied his face with ground and pound, and finally Gracie forced his way into a rear naked choke.[13] During the post-match interview, Gracie claimed that one of the hammerfist delivered by Funaki made him lose his eyesight for a few moments.[14] After the Colosseum event, Gracie expressed interest in fighting judo medalist Naoya Ogawa, who was signed up for the next Colosseum event. He was also proposed by Pride management to fight Kazushi Sakuraba, who had already defeated Royce Gracie as well, but Gracie refused saying that Sakuraba "didn't have the spirit of a warrior".[13] Rickson further said he didn't want to fight a wrestler who was so much smaller than him.[13] Thus, New Japan Pro Wrestling invited him to face Shinya Hashimoto, or especially Manabu Nakanishi or Kazuyuki Fujita, but they were refused. The fight against Ogawa was set to the next year, with Naoya vacating his NWA World Heavyweight Championship to focus on training for the bout; however, tragedy struck when Rickson's son Rockson was found dead in January 2001. Affected by the loss, Gracie contemplated retirement, and the event fell off after some negotiations,.[13] Other appearances In August 2002, Rickson had a special appearance in Japanese media helping out Ogawa before his bout against Matt Ghaffari at the UFO Legend event, in which he assisted.[15] After the event, Ogawa talked again about a fight against Rickson, which the Brazilian considered as possible return match. Rickson also mentioned Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira and Kazuyuki Fujita as candidates to fight him in said return.[15] However, nothing of it came to fruition, even after UFO president Tatsuo Kawamura proposed creating an event in order to hold the match.[16] In 2003, Antonio Inoki offered Rickson USD$5 million for a fight against Fujita,[17] but it had no answer. Gracie has confirmed that he is officially retired now and his major focus is to give seminars on Jiu-Jitsu and to try to develop BJJ as his father saw it: not a fighting tool but a social tool, to give confidence to women, children, and physically weak individuals by giving them the ability to defend themselves.[citation needed]
All I got out of this is that the closest thing to a fighter Rickson fought was Funaki and dodged real challenges. He dodged Sakuaraba, he dodged Bas Rutten and everyone else you mentioned.
Agreed. I'm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and this is an epicenter of wrestling, so we do a LOT of stand up. It's confusing to me when people come in from other gyms and can't fight on the feet.
@9h0stPhantom98 wrong there are coral belts Black mixed with Red and White mixed with Red. But he got awarded with Grandmaster Red Belt but he said he will put it in the safe :) He got Red Belt in 2017 while having Black Belt for 40+ years
Ilyass Nejjar Exactly, from where else would you get a lesson from Rickson while you are in the other side (half part) of the world? Só ajudando vocês caso necessitam de melhorar no inglês. Todos estamos estamos aqui para aprender e melhorar.
Think most people expected some secret submission they could use in their next comp, yet Master Rickson showed them the basics and core of Gracie Jiu Jitsu - self defence.
I’m not a big fan of Rickson or even the Gracies in general but I really like the way Rickson takes a moment to ask each person’s name, makes sure he heard it right, and gives them an appreciative gesture. He’s showing that he doesn’t just consider them a body to demonstrate techniques on. He’s paying them respect as martial artists and honoring the fact that they came to learn from him. It may be a small thing but it shows class on his part.
@@yhungitachi2477 I'm brazilian, live in Rio and I am a jiu jitsu practitioner, and I can garantee you that Sakuraba is highly respected down here as a great fighter and an amazing catch wrestler. If he did seminars here in Rio, it surely would be sold out.
240/5000 Rickson is a genius, Master Hélio's disciples are geniuses. But seeing this workshop I see that my old judo master taught many aspects covered in this workshop. That made me very happy! Because it means that I learned something.
nothing, just pointing out the fact that people forget Rickson and Rolls Gracie have Judo Blackbelts and have competed in Judo tournaments in the 80s. They dont teach pure BJJ. Heres a video of Rickson and Judo legend practising for the Nationals. ruclips.net/video/9e9xFgfZx98/видео.html
It must piss risking right off that how much people’s really don’t know the basic foundations to build real jujitsu.he must really feel like giving up sometimes.but it’s really important wat he is doing I’m glad I get the chance to see these concepts
Rickson is the top of the pile in his art yet he treats everyone at every belt level the same. Not patronising or dismissive at all even though he has probably 40 years practice on some of these guys. Love when he says to a purple belt "You do what you want and I'll do what I want." Imagine having that opportunity 😂 I mean you know you're f*cked but what a badge of honour.
that is funny I have met Rickson Gracie twice and he is a very friendly person but intense when it comes to the mat so that comment hit the funny bone no pun intended..
Rickson emphasizing base, feeling would really be good in instructional too. Rickson talking about breathing, he's right. Where he probably could teach an hour just on breathing. I'd love to know "their Jiu Jitsu", no sport, no competition, just pure Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Which so much balance, connection, breathing, the invisible jiu jitsu, engaging assault, sizing up a situation and when things get serious, etc. How long did it take Maeda to teach his jiu jitsu to Carlos, Helio??? About a year, two years? Then just practice, correct, as playing, then the map to each technique. I wanted to learn their system years ago, but other distractions came. But knowing their jiu jitsu is the same as having a concealed weapon. But one can be more relaxed and comfortable when one has all the technique, nuances and details that makes their jiu jitsu work.
Those basic principles are often missing. As another example, taught by Henry Akins (Rickson black belt) when you learn trap and roll, saída e montada, it is not usual to be taught about connection between your hips and your oponent. So to learn about the high mount with your waist elevated to mostly avoid the effect of a bridge is something you learn further down the road. If you are on top, and break the connection, your position becomes much more stable.
An untrained person would have to be MASSIVELY bigger and stronger than most expert-level jiujitsu players in order to win, and even then, without the understanding of energy conservation, the muscle person wouldn't last very long at all.
Rickson é um gênio, os discípulos do mestre Hélio são gênios. Mas vendo esse workshop eu vejo que meu velho mestre de judô ensinava muitos aspectos abordados nesse workshop. Isso me deixou muito feliz!, porque significa que eu aprendi algo.
Embora eu não seja fã da família Gracie , eles são calculistas , porque não foram desafiar Bruce Lee pessoalmente e não através de carta Rolls Gracie não daria para o começo é bom vc ver um brasileiro ensinando no Japão e em outros países , lembre-se e nunca se que esqueça disso o ser humano é bípede , se vc não tem uma base vc cai fácil ou os lutadores na época antes da arma de fogo não sabia chão , o que acontece é que certos grupo pegam a queda de certos movimentos , tudo na vida tem a fase alta , a média e a baixa onde nada dá certo eles pegaram a baixa , Carlos Gracie e Hélio Gracie foram muito inteligentes isso prova que não precisa ter diploma de doutorado para criar algo , Rickson está de parabéns , apesar que no vale tudo ele não provou nada , como eu disse eles são calculistas , cade o Sakuraba , o Marco ruas nos primeiros ufcs , sabe quando que o Royce iria ganhar nunca , quem fala o contrário é os fanáticos da religião Gracie .
Juggaliath quite arrogant of you to say. Rickson got his red belt and from what i heard he finally decided to start wearing it. Here's a guy who's wondering why he isn't wearing it and you respond with the most condescending self righteous unhelpful shite you could think of Imagine if your instructor came to your session and started wearing a belt lower than the grade he actually was: would that not strike you as odd? The answer is yes it would, and you would be constantly wondering 'why isn't he wearing the belt he usually wears' 'White belts and their focus on belts' is the most belt obsessed statement i've ever heard. Not only is it hypocritical but you've managed to deduce a person right down to a belt colour because of a question they asked. And you're trying to imply that HE'S obsessed with belts? Don't get cocky just because you're not a whitebelt anymore, you're not better than anyone and with that attitude you never will be
Translated from what the japanese guy said(since he spoke loudly & clearly), he said something like "lets give our greetings to all our masters up till now"
Grande Rikson! Perfeita a oficina. A revisão do Curriculum do BJJ para enfantizar Defesa pessoal é importantissima pata levar a Arte Msrcial pra quem precisa muito dela. O desafio e a pergunta que eu faço é como se muda a cabeça dos professores aqui do Rio de Janeiro que ja estao a 30 anos formando competidores?
Rickson is a legend in jujitsu and a grandmaster, unfortunately what he is trying to teach here is called “sensitivity” this concept can’t really be taught is has to be “felt.” You can watch the video but it will be better if you’re there.
Amorim f Eu sempre me surpreendo com o que ele passa. Tudo simples, mas é a famosa "basics" do jiu-jitsu. Igual o Keenan disse: o engraçado que a base do jiu-jitsu é a mais difícil e demorada parte que vc aprende.
Augusto Loa o mundo do JJ. Por que no MMA ele não foi nada! Nunca enfrentou um TOP fugia dos desafios. Tem 11 lutas no MMA contra frangos.,no bjj ele pode ser mito. No MMA/ vale tudo não!
Amigo falar é fácil. Fanfarrões como você sempre aparecerão. Duvido que você tenha posto os pés em tatame alguma vez. Se pôs deveria saber a bobagem que está falando. Ver em RUclips é fácil.Quando se entra lá dentro para o treino não é nada disso.A cabeça pensa o corpo não acompanha. Os caras puseram a cara a tapa. Não essa geração mimimi que tenha certeza que você pertence. Quando o melado desce do nariz muda completamente.
You love your mother and father? I'm sure most of you will say yes! The traditional martial arts is our mother and father if you are a martial artists. Just as we grow from children to adults and still love our parents, so should we as martial artists always show love and respect to TMA. None of us would have a chance of life without our parents, the same for traditional martial arts. Always respect history. Evolve and modify but never forget how you got there. Osu!!!
They guy translating for Rickson is one of the best kept secrets in Japan. He’s one of the best Jiujitsu Sensei in Japan, a Rickson Gracie Blackbelt, his dojo is amazing, and he’s the President of the Japanese Jiujitsu Federation of Japan.

@@alwaysontime69 I'd love to come train at Kama!
Rickson is basically showing his secrets here. He’s showing a mindset, not techniques.
100% agree. Look in the comments to see how many do not understand this, haha
Rickson is such a class act in learning so much from just these videos and I have so much respect for how he teaches I’m fallin love with jujitsu
This is at very high levels understanding kusushi off balance...
A lot of principles of aikido...

“Invisible” subtleties Of this Great self defense....I really enjoyed seeing you here again.... RESPECT....Blessings....OSS !
Truly a master of his craft. Learning from small aspect of self-defense.
Oss, amazing lessons of the master Rickson! The best teaches simple and humble.
Vale Tudo Japan
In 1994, Rickson was contacted by Erik Paulson to compete in Satoru Sayama's event Vale Tudo Japan. Gracie traveled to Japan and participated in the tournament, firstly facing Daido-juku stylist Yoshinori Nishi. Gracie took him down and Nishi answered with a lockdown from half guard, but the Brazilian was able to pass his guard and catch him with a rear naked choke when Nishi turned his back.

In 2003, Antonio Inoki offered Rickson USD$5 million for a fight against Fujita,[17] but it had no answer.
Gracie has confirmed that he is officially retired now and his major focus is to give seminars on Jiu-Jitsu and to try to develop BJJ as his father saw it: not a fighting tool but a social tool, to give confidence to women, children, and physically weak individuals by giving them the ability to defend themselves.[citation needed]
Dude I read it all. Thanks for posting this! I knew most of it but small pieces of the puzzle were missing for me. Super interesting !
Where ever you copied snd pasted this from (Wikipedia?) needs to be given credit.
LEGEND 🙏
All I got out of this is that the closest thing to a fighter Rickson fought was Funaki and dodged real challenges. He dodged Sakuaraba, he dodged Bas Rutten and everyone else you mentioned.
Na verdade ele correu do Sakuraba e de outros , e essa a verdade.
''If he is aggressive, it shows me he is insecure''
Oss
Meaning he's scared
@David G. please don't play the BOSS here again ,I am dead serious ....
Wow. Holland must have been really insecure against jacare.
Truly levels to this
Stripped down Jiu-Jitsu. Love it. Once you develop the core, you build upon it.
Rickson has excellent standup principles. His brothers also. Its a shame many people who train BJJ dont have adequate knowledge of the stand up game.
Agreed. I'm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and this is an epicenter of wrestling, so we do a LOT of stand up. It's confusing to me when people come in from other gyms and can't fight on the feet.
Meu idolo no esporte, um camarada espetacular!!! Sem palavras
jiu jitsu é um esporte? achei que era uma arte marcial
@@fernando4885 De acordo com o que o Rickson falou no vídeo, a parte esportiva " é um capítulo do livro jiu-jitsu".

Great teacher with whisdom for lice not only for fight.❤️👍🏻🙏
notice he is not wearing his red belt. honor.
He's waiting to use it.
Because he doesnt want to use red belt before the time that it requires

Rickson Gracie, Invisible Power, Connection, Leverage, Breathing, Strategy > Self Defense / Life
You are a martial artist Rickson and wisdom and i love that ... and you a good man ...
Just for this i love the internet,oss!
yep
Exactly, how else could you get a lesson from Rickson while you're in the other half of the world?
That's the only reason why I love internet.
Ilyass Nejjar Exactly, from where else would you get a lesson from Rickson while you are in the other side (half part) of the world? Só ajudando vocês caso necessitam de melhorar no inglês. Todos estamos estamos aqui para aprender e melhorar.
Great seminar. Rickson Gracie True Martail Artist.👏👏👏👏👏.
Thank you for sharing brother, much love and blessings for you.
Thanks for watching - the original video link is in the description!
Think most people expected some secret submission they could use in their next comp, yet Master Rickson showed them the basics and core of Gracie Jiu Jitsu - self defence.
I’m not a big fan of Rickson or even the Gracies in general but I really like the way Rickson takes a moment to ask each person’s name, makes sure he heard it right, and gives them an appreciative gesture. He’s showing that he doesn’t just consider them a body to demonstrate techniques on. He’s paying them respect as martial artists and honoring the fact that they came to learn from him. It may be a small thing but it shows class on his part.
Isso é um fato mais se não fosse os Gracie não haveria jiu-jitsu para o Mundo! Tempos que respeita está é uma honra...
I think Sakuraba would get a similarly respectful following in the USA and even Brazil.
And why not? kkkkkkkk
You really think Brazilians would have any respect for the Gracie Killer. Doubt it
Bruh all Sakuraba defeated was bjj guys
If they had striking backgrounds Sakuraba would've been easily defeated
@@yhungitachi2477 I'm brazilian, live in Rio and I am a jiu jitsu practitioner, and I can garantee you that Sakuraba is highly respected down here as a great fighter and an amazing catch wrestler. If he did seminars here in Rio, it surely would be sold out.
@@yhungitachi2477 you dont know nothing about brazilian people, just shut up bitc*
I love when Rickson will say a 3-4 word statement but then the translation will go on for several seconds 😂 and Ricksons like... oh alright then
Um salve para o mestre Rickson, da galera daqui do chile
240/5000
Rickson is a genius, Master Hélio's disciples are geniuses. But seeing this workshop I see that my old judo master taught many aspects covered in this workshop. That made me very happy! Because it means that I learned something.
"stop being a fanboy"?! you don't have idols? Oo oh my, sorry for you... not even your dad? Really?
Rickson and his dead brother rolls has Judo Blackbelts under George Medhi.
...and?
nothing, just pointing out the fact that people forget Rickson and Rolls Gracie have Judo Blackbelts and have competed in Judo tournaments in the 80s. They dont teach pure BJJ.
Heres a video of Rickson and Judo legend practising for the Nationals.

Amazing to hear a true master teach
It must piss risking right off that how much people’s really don’t know the basic foundations to build real jujitsu.he must really feel like giving up sometimes.but it’s really important wat he is doing I’m glad I get the chance to see these concepts
I can only imagine his frustration - just looking at some of the other comments on this video prove your point, I think.
Rickson is the top of the pile in his art yet he treats everyone at every belt level the same. Not patronising or dismissive at all even though he has probably 40 years practice on some of these guys.
Love when he says to a purple belt "You do what you want and I'll do what I want." Imagine having that opportunity 😂 I mean you know you're f*cked but what a badge of honour.
Thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
this is amazing content.
This was amazing. I think I should go back to wearing my white belt...
plenty of golden nugget lessons in this video... thanks for the upload! Oss!
Just curious, isn't he a red belt already? Why is he still wearing coral belt?
Honor.
Does it matter what color belt is what
A true master...
A true legend
how much the fees training at rikcson gracie's gym
18:03 at this moment you can Rickson thinking to himself "The fuck all is this translator saying?"
Alguém poderia colocar uma legenda para nós.
έχετε τον άπειρο θαυμασμό μου κε Gracie..Μπράβο σας.
A lot of judo principles in this Jiu Jitsu seminar. 2 wheels of the same bicycle. 🙏
That was great
Muito obrigado! 👍
Rickson didnt was promote to red belt?? What did he doing with a coral belt?
He felt it's not time yet to receive the red belt. He feels like he don't deserve it for now. That's just how humble he is.
His elder brother have the red belt....relson gracie
0:10 rickson pipe game strong
Troy Yang you a fool 😁
that is funny I have met Rickson Gracie twice and he is a very friendly person but intense when it comes to the mat so that comment hit the funny bone no pun intended..
Long live the KING
Rickson emphasizing base, feeling would really be good in instructional too.
Rickson talking about breathing, he's right. Where he probably could teach an hour just on breathing.
I'd love to know "their Jiu Jitsu", no sport, no competition, just pure Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Which so much balance, connection, breathing, the invisible jiu jitsu, engaging assault, sizing up a situation and when things get serious, etc.
How long did it take Maeda to teach his jiu jitsu to Carlos, Helio??? About a year, two years? Then just practice, correct, as playing, then the map to each technique.
I wanted to learn their system years ago, but other distractions came. But knowing their jiu jitsu is the same as having a concealed weapon. But one can be more relaxed and comfortable when one has all the technique, nuances and details that makes their jiu jitsu work.
How did they get Rickson to teach basic grappling in japan DUde could sleep every 1 in the Gym.
Those basic principles are often missing. As another example, taught by Henry Akins (Rickson black belt) when you learn trap and roll, saída e montada, it is not usual to be taught about connection between your hips and your oponent. So to learn about the high mount with your waist elevated to mostly avoid the effect of a bridge is something you learn further down the road. If you are on top, and break the connection, your position becomes much more stable.
he could sleep anyone in the world lol
He hasn't been able to roll in years due to severe back issues.
@@mcrosignani Henry is also incredible!
9:25 "ITADAKIMASU ha-- haha-haaa you're here" XD hickson you silly old legend
Alguém pode dizer porque ele não está usando a faixa vermelha?
Tudo bem amigo. Ele pode escolher uso da Azul, Preta, Preta com Graus, Vermelha e Preta ou a Vermelha Poderosa. Forte Abraço.
I was at this seminar :)
Oh wow, I'm very jealous!
sir what is the difference between a martial artist and a person going to gym and making a musceles who will win if they fought and why
An untrained person would have to be MASSIVELY bigger and stronger than most expert-level jiujitsu players in order to win, and even then, without the understanding of energy conservation, the muscle person wouldn't last very long at all.
Focus on the basics makes black belts great. Great black belts focus on teaching the basics.
Finally an answer i was looking for
Rickson é um gênio, os discípulos do mestre Hélio são gênios. Mas vendo esse workshop eu vejo que meu velho mestre de judô ensinava muitos aspectos abordados nesse workshop. Isso me deixou muito feliz!, porque significa que eu aprendi algo.
Embora eu não seja fã da família Gracie , eles são calculistas , porque não foram desafiar Bruce Lee pessoalmente e não através de carta Rolls Gracie não daria para o começo é bom vc ver um brasileiro ensinando no Japão e em outros países , lembre-se e nunca se que esqueça disso o ser humano é bípede , se vc não tem uma base vc cai fácil ou os lutadores na época antes da arma de fogo não sabia chão , o que acontece é que certos grupo pegam a queda de certos movimentos , tudo na vida tem a fase alta , a média e a baixa onde nada dá certo eles pegaram a baixa , Carlos Gracie e Hélio Gracie foram muito inteligentes isso prova que não precisa ter diploma de doutorado para criar algo , Rickson está de parabéns , apesar que no vale tudo ele não provou nada , como eu disse eles são calculistas , cade o Sakuraba , o Marco ruas nos primeiros ufcs , sabe quando que o Royce iria ganhar nunca , quem fala o contrário é os fanáticos da religião Gracie .
Deve ser pq vc ja sabe tudo... 😉
@@gilbertoaguiar7332 e quais sao os numeros da mega sena? 😂
Sak and bas basically begged rickson to fight. Too bad we didn't get to those fights
Beautiful when you see the legacy of how some Japanese took the art to Brazil and now they have returned.
I'm not sure this is was shoot on 2018. If os where is his red belt???
Rickson decided not to wear the belt.
ruclips.net/video/XrFbz7zI4oc/видео.html
é por isso que eu sou cada dia mais fã desse cara!
Whitebelts and their focus on belts....
Juggaliath quite arrogant of you to say. Rickson got his red belt and from what i heard he finally decided to start wearing it. Here's a guy who's wondering why he isn't wearing it and you respond with the most condescending self righteous unhelpful shite you could think of
Imagine if your instructor came to your session and started wearing a belt lower than the grade he actually was: would that not strike you as odd? The answer is yes it would, and you would be constantly wondering 'why isn't he wearing the belt he usually wears'
'White belts and their focus on belts' is the most belt obsessed statement i've ever heard. Not only is it hypocritical but you've managed to deduce a person right down to a belt colour because of a question they asked. And you're trying to imply that HE'S obsessed with belts?
Don't get cocky just because you're not a whitebelt anymore, you're not better than anyone and with that attitude you never will be
jimmy alderson 😂
Orgulho de ser brasileiro...
E essa faixa de krav maga, fujickson?
Leonardo Freitas Não entendi oque vc falou. Graduação do BJJ não conheço. Mas Krav Maga usa a graduação do Judô
That 47:00 is the exact move Khabib used one time in a real MMA fight. I wondered how he did it.
17 mins on Base very good.
Faltou uma legenda em português apenas :( !
I'm dreaming about a meeting between rickson GRACIE and MORIO HIGAONNA.
To compare their Budo and expérience.
Bendiciones excelente eseñansa
1:40 what was bowing about? what did he say?
Oreo Carlton If I remember right, he said let's bow to the ancestors (I was there).
Translated from what the japanese guy said(since he spoke loudly & clearly), he said something like "lets give our greetings to all our masters up till now"
Grande Rikson! Perfeita a oficina. A revisão do Curriculum do BJJ para enfantizar Defesa pessoal é importantissima pata levar a Arte Msrcial pra quem precisa muito dela. O desafio e a pergunta que eu faço é como se muda a cabeça dos professores aqui do Rio de Janeiro que ja estao a 30 anos formando competidores?
thanks for sharing 橋本欽也
I have taught this stance / posture in judo for 16 years I call it half way in and half way out. Transitions are quicker in this posture.
Master of life
Cade a faixa Vermelha
Not of a fan of the gracies but the more i learn about rickson and roger gracie the more i like them
Master!!
Rickson is a legend in jujitsu and a grandmaster, unfortunately what he is trying to teach here is called “sensitivity” this concept can’t really be taught is has to be “felt.” You can watch the video but it will be better if you’re there.
O mundo da luta tem muito a beber dessa fonte. Vida longa a Mestre Rickson.
Amorim f Eu sempre me surpreendo com o que ele passa. Tudo simples, mas é a famosa "basics" do jiu-jitsu. Igual o Keenan disse: o engraçado que a base do jiu-jitsu é a mais difícil e demorada parte que vc aprende.
Augusto Loa osss.
Augusto Loa o mundo do JJ.
Por que no MMA ele não foi nada!
Nunca enfrentou um TOP fugia dos desafios.
Tem 11 lutas no MMA contra frangos.,no bjj ele pode ser mito.
No MMA/ vale tudo não!
Amigo falar é fácil. Fanfarrões como você sempre aparecerão. Duvido que você tenha posto os pés em tatame alguma vez. Se pôs deveria saber a bobagem que está falando. Ver em RUclips é fácil.Quando se entra lá dentro para o treino não é nada disso.A cabeça pensa o corpo não acompanha. Os caras puseram a cara a tapa. Não essa geração mimimi que tenha certeza que você pertence. Quando o melado desce do nariz muda completamente.
Amorim, você tá em todas.
Impressive
You love your mother and father? I'm sure most of you will say yes! The traditional martial arts is our mother and father if you are a martial artists. Just as we grow from children to adults and still love our parents, so should we as martial artists always show love and respect to TMA. None of us would have a chance of life without our parents, the same for traditional martial arts. Always respect history. Evolve and modify but never forget how you got there. Osu!!!
I just want to say, reasoning by analogy is often inferior and fallacious, compared to reasoning by "first principle".
this is rickson jujitsu no bullshit and fancy move.
Why do they wear the gi?
pajamas
The GOAT!!!
A real fighter.
Bem que ele poderia falar em português 👀
