When a person believes in their ability, don't give a flying fuck what people think and therefore have nothing to prove, they are usually the most humble and gentle people you will meet. Ultra egos, insecurity, jealousy, greed and control are everything wrong with this world. It all starts with parentage or lack thereof, unfortunately. Royce and his respect for his father is consistent with this theory like many greats. Effort, love and care you put into your offspring is as vital as gravity. It keeps you grounded.

Was looking forward to this interview and enjoyed it - however I would have liked to hear more about his MMA career - especially the thought process around UFC 60 and Matt Hughes and his current relationship with the UFC. I would have liked to hear about the Gracie Family dynamics and how much "politics" actually existed between his father and Uncles. How is it now and how does he fell about those waving the flag of BJJ now? What does he do - Does he have a series of academies - does he teach full time? What are his thoughts on the current state of BJJ. Are practitioners ahead of where they were 30 years ago - are modern practitioners too far removed from the self defense roots - neither or both?

As a brazilian who lived in america for a year, i can assure you its the biggest cultural diference between the countries, in brazil even the mean drug loards who killed 100 people will treat you with respect and smile when they see you. In brazil respect is your most valuable good, if you dont respect people they wont help you and you need their help in a poor society, you cant live on your own, no one gonna give you a job, no one will buy your mom medicine when you have no money, you just need the comunity... even the most mean thugs help people or they gonna get snitched to the police... In america is more of a "self made man" culture, you dont need anyone and its even shameful to ask for help, so any little thug walks around with a mean face mugging people... sometimes brazilian fighters looks corny talking about respect, but its just how they learned to be...

Rickson won Pride 1-2-3 and when the sports was just taking off his son tragically died so he stepped away from the sport. However you can watch interviews with all members of the Gracie or machado clans who trained with them and all of these guys agreed Rickson was light years ahead of the rest of these fighters. Sadly his son passed away and we never got to see alot of the great fights that could have been due to his desire to compete fading after his son's death. Truly sad. Royce Gracie is a legend in the sport for what he did but in terms of his gifts compared to his brothers he was middle of the pack at best. Now rickson just focuses on helping his son Kron Gracie who is an animal in his own right. Go watch the movie Choke. It really shows you how advanced rickson was compared to all other bjj practitioners at the time.

When a person believes in their ability, don't give a flying fuck what people think and therefore have nothing to prove, they are usually the most humble and gentle people you will meet. Ultra egos, insecurity, jealousy, greed and control are everything wrong with this world. It all starts with parentage or lack thereof, unfortunately. Royce and his respect for his father is consistent with this theory like many greats. Effort, love and care you put into your offspring is as vital as gravity. It keeps you grounded.
man I never knew Royce was so wise! His Metaphors and analogies are so simple, yet so wise. No wonder he was such a great champion!
I think that was one of the most awesome interviews I've heard in a long time I love the way you talked about your values😊
Was looking forward to this interview and enjoyed it - however I would have liked to hear more about his MMA career - especially the thought process around UFC 60 and Matt Hughes and his current relationship with the UFC. I would have liked to hear about the Gracie Family dynamics and how much "politics" actually existed between his father and Uncles. How is it now and how does he fell about those waving the flag of BJJ now? What does he do - Does he have a series of academies - does he teach full time? What are his thoughts on the current state of BJJ. Are practitioners ahead of where they were 30 years ago - are modern practitioners too far removed from the self defense roots - neither or both?
I almost never post on KZread, but I've met Royce several times and I can honestly say he's the most genuine, humble, nicest guys I've ever met. He's an absolute joy to be around. Happy to see Joe give him a platform. God Bless!

In america is more of a "self made man" culture, you dont need anyone and its even shameful to ask for help, so any little thug walks around with a mean face mugging people... sometimes brazilian fighters looks corny talking about respect, but its just how they learned to be...

At the end of each training day every Ranger couldn't wait to have the honor of getting balled up by either one of them 🤣. Even at one of our military formals they attended they talked more about how blessed they were to be in this country with so many opportunities far more than any fight records. Fast forward to 2021.

What a down to earth legend! Enjoyable pod
As a non MMA fan, even I know this guy is a living legend 🏆
I remember watching those first UFCs on VHS, fell in love immediately.
I remember watching him fight, it was so frustrating to watch but now looking back and listening to him I see it's truly an artform in fighting at the highest level. Much respect!
These 2 men brought me Bjj and greatly changed my life. Im old and injured at the moment but fearless from many years in Bjj, fearless like no other time in my life.
I love whenever Joe speaks with a Brazilian he starts to talk a little like a Brazilian but he catches himself

OG of the fight game! Thank you Royce 🙏🏻
i use to love seeing Royce Gracie's fights. he is a legend!
Been in the game since 08. Thank you, Gracie family for changing my life
The Gracies and their BJJ studios are simply awesome. The instructors here at the Renzo Gracie studio in Reno are truly awe inspiring, and their work with kids and juniors cannot be beat IMO. Rolling with any and all is amazingly good.

I feel dumb for not going to train as a teen. I had options too. Renzo in NYC or Matt Serra on Long Island. Instead I kept telling myself “ehh I’m too old these guys start way younger” and now I’m 34 I’d have 20 years of training and could have gotten into mma if I was good enough. And guess what I tell myself “I’m too old to start training “ and I know I’m wrong.

@@MaynardOwns - Start. I left martial arts when I was 17 and started again with Renzo at 60. Start regular calisthenics daily, and then go do it. You'll get bruised and likely break a rib, I did two of them without regret.
Royce is a legend among legends. Young kid, taking people’s soul. Respect!

I was like 12-13 when a OG UFC marathon ran all weekend on Spike. Best weekend ever. Stayed at my old buddies dads who was a stoner so we smoked joint after joint and at that age it sends you the the MOOOOON. Seeing Joyce be so dominant was insane. I already liked the sport cuz of the iceman and forrest griffin but this made me a DIEHARD. Been that way ever since. Been home training 2 years now.

Rickson won Pride 1-2-3 and when the sports was just taking off his son tragically died so he stepped away from the sport. However you can watch interviews with all members of the Gracie or machado clans who trained with them and all of these guys agreed Rickson was light years ahead of the rest of these fighters. Sadly his son passed away and we never got to see alot of the great fights that could have been due to his desire to compete fading after his son's death. Truly sad. Royce Gracie is a legend in the sport for what he did but in terms of his gifts compared to his brothers he was middle of the pack at best. Now rickson just focuses on helping his son Kron Gracie who is an animal in his own right. Go watch the movie Choke. It really shows you how advanced rickson was compared to all other bjj practitioners at the time.
I love the fact that he gives mad respect to his cousins. They had some issues at one time and Joe got his black belt under Jean Jacques and I know it means the world to him that they all get along now.

True. I’ve trained with both Royce and Renzo and at one point there was a little thing going on but it was more of a gossip/miscommunication thing. He’s so humble and down to earth so is Renzo and honestly the whole family.
My favorite show in a while. This dude seems so fucking cool. You can tell he's a true class act. Love this episode Joe!
One of my favorite podcast. GOAT 🐐
Great interview guys. Royce old school legend. Always nice to have bit of old school flava. Also personally i think fighters were better hundreds of years ago than those of today.
I remember watching UFC 1 thinking, "no way that guy in the pajamas is going to win" lol and I agree with him, one 15 minute round, 25 min round for championship fights.
