Great interview, I have tremendous respect for Rorion and what he has done for the martial arts community. However, I must correct (time stamp around 22:00): Helio was born on 10/1/1913 Kimura was born on 9/10/1917 So, Kimura was 4 years younger (not 10).
When was Helio frail. Before or after being a competitive swimmer and regatta team rower? I love Gracie bjj and studyingthe history, but this lie about Helio really blows
He was frail as a young teen. The combination of BJJ practice and a natural diet is what allowed him to heal and improve his health into adulthood. Doesn't mean he was constantly bedridden and physically inactive. Like most teens who feel like they're invulnerable, Helio remained active into his late years. Having a strong metal outlook also contributed to his improved health.
Uuuumm, no. "Judo was created in 1882 by Kanō Jigorō (嘉納 治五郎) as an eclectic martial art, distinguishing itself from its *predecessors* (primarily Tenjin Shinyo-ryu jujutsu and Kitō-ryū jujutsu)... " *predecessor* : one that *precedes* especially : a person who has *previously occupied* a position or office to which another has succeeded.
Just a small thing, in the video description by minutes(the list of topics) Carlos should be replaced by Helio

According to Wikipedia, Kimura had a 22 to 33 pounds weight advantage over Helio (not 80 pounds).
