Rickson speaks philosophically as well as technically about jiu jitsu. You want to know what jit jitsu is all about watch his seminars online. I have retained three of his key aspects of the art.
1... Strong base
2... Proper breathing
3... Strategy
When it comes to learning from someone who isn't a black belt, I was faced with this when I started in December. In my city I wasn't able to find a school run by a black belt that gave a strong emphasis on self defense. But I was able to find a Royler Gracie brown belt who was heavy on self defense so I went there. A few months later he got his black belt from Royler!
For me it was a decision on what I wanted to learn and I felt a brown belt teaching the proper self defense techniques was going to be more beneficial than a black belt teaching sport
Ullish1989 Wise man!
Eerily sounds like me. The only guy teach near me was mostly taught by Royce. No bull. Good luck to ya
Great decision
Awesome video Ryan! These are some of my favorite Gracie Jiu Jitsu videos on RUclips! Thank you!
Thank you!
I like that you referred as Ryron being the best in the current generation. Because he doesn't compete people don't realize how incredible he is. The epitome of a true martial artist.
I’ve talked to roger about this topic about 10 years ago and at that time he said he had nothing for Rickson. Not unlike every other elite BB I’ve spoken to about Rickson.
Really like the green shirt with the academy logo. Great look.
Having watched GM Rickson teach a seminar and seeing so many people amazed at the subtle movements he teaches to improve techniques, I have to say I'm learning from the best possible lineage available. I hope that others realize this and pursue GM Rickson's teachings as much or more than so many students seemingly chase fancy attacks in the hopes of improving their abilities without perfecting the basics. Jiu jitsu will be all the better for it.
When you have to train with a blue or purple belt it is also important to know how long the person has been training. I always thought it was funny when I'd go to other schools and roll with the blue and purple belts. After they would sometimes look confused. Yeah I was "just a lowly 3-4 stripe blue belt" I had also been a blue belt for 16 years...lol I know some white and blue belts that were in the same situation and were tapping browns and blacks and had great ability to teach. Academy politics and experience should be taken into account.
Side note: I have a new female student that came to me two weeks ago from the other academy in town. The teacher is a 1 stripe black belt. She had been training there for 3 months. Her first night at my academy I instructed the class to do shrimps the length of the mat and back. She said "I've never actually learned how to do that". Three months under a black belt and doesn't know how to shrimp? Just gonna leave that there.
coops active life Nope. I was out a total of around a year during that time. Trained at one place for almost 4 years and was never even allowed to test. Went to another place and as schools will do he waited around a year before giving me stripes. Got two under him, had a falling out (not jiu-jitsu related) Went on my own for a while. Found another guy, got another stripe, then he left town. Then finally got connected with Keith Owen and after a year got another stripe then purple. Been with professor Owen for around 3 years now. I always found places to train and ppl to train with even while between black belts so my training was consistent.
coops active Jorge Borras is based close to where I grew up. Well respected. Keep plugging away at it man.
Are shrimps shoulder escapes?
This is a very good video. Thank you for sharing the insight. Sound logic. Strong understanding.
You sound very impressed with innovation. What separates good innovation from bad innovation in modern jiu jitsu?
Thanks again for another great video!
Thank you!
My instructor probably spent more one-on-one time with Rickson after he got to the States than any other American. Took 2 privates a week for 4 years as a purple and brown belt. He always said Rickson was the best. Would say when he gets you to the ground, there was no coming back. Never worked backwards. Good video.
Who’s your instructor?
@@KamaJiuJitsu Still Craig... lol
Nice. I hope to meet him when I’m in SoCal in December.
@@KamaJiuJitsu What's in SoCal?
@@rrt1592 Hahaha, don't blame him I guess. A lot of strange people out there. I've heard stories from Craig that would fill his RUclips channel for years.
Innovate brings new. Technichan performs. We need both.
i know what it is: hyperbole (hī-pûrˈbə-lē)►

Professor Ryan, I saw you in attendance of one of rickson gracie's seminars last week. Could you do a video on how that went? Would love some insight on how it's like being around him and how he goes about doing his thing. Thanks
It’s coming soon!
You are very right Pacual. He approaches and talks about BJJ like no other person.
Learning online is not optimal but its better than nothing. Now a days u can learn so many things online.
It’s hard to separate the good stuff from the bad stuff on YT.
Kama Jiu-Jitsu very very true. But in regards to things like gracie university u know ur getting quality
The first person to ever learn how to choke somebody that’s good at jujitsu and much bigger than them is Marcelo Garcia
Surprised the Gracies haven't slapped a trademark on air yet..
You’re looking at this at too shallow a level.
This answer is simple, his Idol was in fact Bruce Lee and he followed the same exact philosophy, take what's effective from various styles and discard what is not, he is truly a Living Legend, he never competed in UFC because Helio wanted to prop up Royce who was a great pure Jujitsu Specialist, Rickson was on a whole different level though, he was in fact a Mixed Martial Artists before the term was even a thing, Rickson was doing his own thing at the time anyways, I trained with Brad Hatcher for a few years in Maryville, TN who was trained by one of Rickson's Pupils, Hatcher's BJJ School is under the Governing Body of the Rickson Gracie Freestyle / Brazilian Jujitsu Umbrella of Schools or something like that, lol tried to make it sound fancy I'm sure that's not how you word it, but It's part of the Schools under Rickson's specific Brand, and a Great Brand it Is
Cool vid Ryan!
Rolls is the best ever!!!!
😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Rickson by armbar
I think he was the best, although I don't think he ever wrestled any Catch wrestlers. His Father lost 3-4 times to American Catch wrestlers. Hickson disappeared when the rest of the world caught up to the BJJ technology. Props to him and the Gracies. They WERE the best and bright grappling to the popular world, but Where was he in the late 90s and 2000's. He certainly didn't fight the best.
How can I get this choke to apply so much pressure I don't even have to be in the same room to choke someone.
Roger might have won in a pure jiu jitsu match but Rickson successfully applied his jiu jitsu in fighting so I give the edge to him. I would include Eddie bravo and dean lister as influencers of jiu jitsu, Danaher too
Disappointed you left Renzo off your list. He’s been one of the most innovative instructors. When Gracie members have fights the majority go to him.
Russell ward Spot on.. I’ve seen Renzo Corner Roger and numerous others
Good point no Renzo, no Firas, GSP no Renzo no Dahaher, DDS, Gordon Ryan..
What are your thoughts of Reylson?
During their prime, which gracie would be able to beat prime sakuraba without special rules?
Rickson. Plain and simple.
Ricksons Jiujitsu is from Carlos ;)
I’m hungry, I want a watermelon smoothie 😂
So do I!
Very strong both physically and mentally. Tremendous stamina and flexibility. Superb technique with a focus on basics and the ability to do what's needed at the right time. Vision to create and expand techniques.
I would put Rickson, Marcelo Garcia, Renzo, & Fabio Gurgel as having the biggest impact of BJJ
My wife thinks hes the best looking 🤦♂️i say kron actually .......i mean they all brazilian soo obviously gracies always look good ,helio looked great his whole life! Hope i age as well as him😁
Rolls. Rolls and it’s not even close. Much respect to Rickson but Rolls was on some other shit. And the reason Rickson became the legend that he is is because of Rolls.
J M I’m curious did you know Rolls and train with him?
J M Definitely Rolls on his philosophy. Open minded to learn from other grappling arts.
@@biggitybaked7017 it's Rolls said by Carlson , Carlos Jr. Rodrigo Medeiros.
@@russellward4624 Rickson said Rolls would still be number 1 even if he were alive out of respect.
Rickson was the strongest and most talented.
I had to stop video at 2.51 to comment, Are you comparing Rickson to Roger when Rickson was 34 years old? Or are you allowing Rickson complete knowledge of JJ till his present age. He's lived alot longer and he's had alot more time to allow his own mastery become its own language. I will continue watching now
Lol. Rickson at 34 was an extraordinary innovator even then, in addition to being the GOAT.
Looking back and reviewing all your past videos and the history that you have gathered, I'm agreeing with you that he was ahead of the curve as far as innovating and competing.I'm also going to add he had alot of great training partners of all sizes and skill sets.- His family. Roger didn't get as deep of an environment. That would explain why the family decided he get his Red belt 4 years earlier than the history of the other Red belts. I think if Helio was alive he would of given the Red earlier then expected. Good vid
Rickson had his 8th Degree by age 35, I’ve been told. He technically got his red belt promotion on time. The criteria before very recently was 40 years, not 45 years, or 53 as in the IBJJF (I think).
And then Louis herdida was the main teacher
What makes rickson the BEST? Those abs. He's so dreamy.
Rickson was the best of his generation for sure. Every generation had their best. The best relatively unknown ‘Champion X.’ The New Japan Pro Wrestler and Maybe BJJ GOAT is IVAN GOMES.
Why wasn’t Eddie Bravo mentioned as an innovator?
Manny Ortega he was talking about within the Gracie family. If he mentioned everyone that was innovative in JJ we’d be here all day.
Eddie Bravo is great at what he does. But in mma, his concepts haven't had a marked effect, nothing beats the old school basics.
@@ctsd623 In MMA, Catch wrestling and submission grappling dominate, and MMA-oriented BJJ is closer to them than Gi-Bjj. Even the high level BJJ guys in the UFC use a very limited set of techniques (single leg, RNC, etcetc) that existed before BJJ and avoid bottom position at all cost. No-gi Bjj is now dominated by leglocks thus by the 2 sports mentioned above.
After the various Sakuraba/Gracie fights, did Rickson ever comment about why he never took a fight against Sakuraba?
It was signed. Rockson passed away. Rickson then retired. His mind and his heart wasn’t in it after losing him.
He doesn’t do what you want, so he’s s coward. Okaaaay.
He came to him, after his eldest son Rockson has passed.....cuz he would have known that Rickson would feel vulnerable.
Am I the only one that's confused why the Gracie's heights were so different? They're either 6'2 and up or 5'9 and under 😂😂
I’ve wondered that myself.
Kama Jiu-Jitsu Hey Ryan, I'm wondering what belts can promote what belts, like can a purple promote me from white to blue or is it just black belts unless there's a brown in the area that can promote them. Like what's the rules on promotions. I'm a white belt that's only been training gi/traditional for 3 weeks now.
Traditionally, promotions have been the privilege of black belt “professors,” only. But today, people of lower belts run their own schools. If they were to not promote their students because they know they’re not qualified, how long would their students stick around? On the other hand, If they promote one of their students, who’s to say they can’t?
Kama Jiu-Jitsu so a professor of a lower belt rank let's say blue (that owns the school) gets to give out a blue belt? Can he promote himself? Or does his students do that like rickson had his student do for him?
???
“Professor” is a black belt who has gone through his master’s Instructor training program. There are no “professors of a lower rank.”
Carlson Gracie gave everyone in Brazil Jiujitsu the other side the Opposite
In BJJ we should stick to the principles of self defence rather than turn BJJ in like JUDO olimpic competion sort of thing.
BJJ is about combat,real fight for VALE TUDO dont get it twisted...Helio, rickson were aware of that. Rickson got fed up about BJJ competition aspect so much that is trying to focus BJJ to their roots
Eddie beat Royler many years ago in Abu Dhabi right afterRoyler lost Leo vera shout out easy it was to beat Eddie just like I used to be ready in the old days you just don’t get stuck passing his guard you do a clean will you pull back and start again unless you’re Marcelo Garcia and then you can do everything with your eyes closed upside down it really doesn’t matter. Leo vera showed how simple it was to beat him And Royler still 100 years later still can’t figure it out such a simple thing. To one dimensional only Elio Gracies way. Rock no diamond no diamond rock.
What makes Rickson the best in Jiu-Jitsu? Rolls's death. Plain and simple.
Why is Rickson the best? I’ve only seen him fight low quality opponents on RUclips. I mean, guys with very limited skills. Royce fought much more talented fighters.
And Rickson plays with Royce like he was a white belt.
And your point?
Dude, watch "Choke." The Japanese guys Rickson beat were top dogs.
Esteban Nemo main line of this comment "on youtube" cuz u know everything that ever happened in life is on youtube lol
Royler did not dominate nor tap Eddie bravo out in the second match. And anybody that was half decent knows how to pass any bravos guard you don’t get stuck halfway unless you Marcelo Garcia. You passed Leo Vieira did she can’t pass clean you go back and start again. I hope to god you’re talking about something else
Rickson vs. Roger? Toss up. I'd rather see Rickson vs. Marcelo Garcia or Kazushi Sakuraba.
Cyber Stein dude do you even know who Sakuraba is? Lol
"the Gracie Killer." well, Saku and Wallid. both beat 4 family members. Saku in Japan, Wallid on the competition mat in Brazil, and one in a street fight.
Sakuraba beat Royler, Royce, Renzo and Ryan. They are all "big name" Gracies.
But they aren’t/weren’t Rickson or Relson.
The fight with Rickson was on the table. Honestly the fight should've occurred after Sakuraba beat Royce. Instead Renzo fought Sakuraba in August 2000, when it should've been Rickson.
Gordon Ryan will destroy all of them
Gordon Ryan is amazing but there are many who would destroy him regularly.
dragonballjiujitsu he is ranked top 10 in 3 different weight classes, 1st in his at 88kg, has been training for only 5 years and is fucking 22. At 30 years old he will be light years ahead of Gracies...
Rickson is more complete much better wrestling and i saw Rickson winning by armbar
Marcelo Garcia could of beaten Rickson
I doubt it. I'd make Rickson the favourite in that match.
he never fought shang sung and liu kang? rickson gracie is nothing worth
Kron and Ryron are not the best of their generation it's Roger.
Rickson almost got tools by jokers
No stand up
this is where MMA fails massively and becomes cult like. Bjj and Rickson are wonderful but just because Rickson's move were right for him doesnt mean his style will make you the best. If Floyd mayweather taught you his style would you become the best? maybe maybe not. you know who taught floyd? his dad. was his dad better than leonard?no. just learn from all the legends. i refuse to use the word master because its culty AF.
infoguy1978 its just a rank title. But i get where ur comming from. I try to avoid use of the term master simply because i feel that its used too loosely these days. But for ppl like Rickson Gracie its totally justified. There are certain cases where its just undeniable.
Rickson never teach ever class not true
The best fighters are the best fighters now today
it always works that way
look at Royler He lost To Eddie bravo twice Rickson was his coach what does that tell you and Eddie is not even that good
As a coach or a teacher I feel like I’m living in some matrix nightmare ...
the best teachers are the ones who students do the best need I say more
Kaleo side of the family or not innovators if they were they wouldn’t of lost Eddie bravo twice he’s not even that good the opposite of innovators they have no Innovacion in them
"draw."
i think Eddie did better, though neither submitted, so technically, a draw.
Kama Jiu-Jitsu master he did dominate the second match and tapped him first no disrespect champ
Rickson is not the best jiu-jitsu fighter of all time. Helio Gracie was better than than his son Rickson, who admitted that in interviews in Brazil. And Rolls was way better in jiu-jitsu than Rickson, even family members like Carlson Gracie say that. By the way, Carlson was for sure the greatest innovator and coach in jiu-jitsu, his academy in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, was the Meca of jiu-jitsu in Brazil. It was a Carlson's student, Rosado (who became the first red belt of this academy) who made Rickson tap out during a training. Rickson doesn't like to talk about this.
This is absurd. Hero worship. Marcelo could've beat Rickson under any circumstance. But......so what?
