RICKSON GRACIE | Jiu-Jitsu and a Life in Flow

Many of you are familiar with my immersion into the world of Jiu-Jitsu over the past two years. It’s become such a crucial part of my life that I look for every single opportunity to learn more about the practice and train.
With that said, I am joined today by one of the greatest ever to train Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts, Rickson Gracie. Today, we talk about his incredible life, what it’s like to be a Gracie, the shifting paradigms of becoming a mature man, developing and living with a personal code of honor, the physical, mental, and spiritual realm of Jiu-Jitsu, and how Jiu-Jitsu allows you to live a life in flow.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
-Jiu-Jitsu is more mental than physical
-How does warrior mindset in Jiu-Jitsu translate to improvements in other areas of life
-Respect for the Gracie name and art of Jiu-Jitsu
-Finding value from external pressure
-Responding to critics and those who challenge the effectiveness of the art
-Learning about ourselves through challenges
-Successful men don’t dabble
-Code of honor
-Finding your purpose through service
-Gentleness versus violence in the art

    @@josephstearns5983 Dude, coming from Rio de Janeiro, and grateful for having chance to train with his younger brothers, I can tell you for sure that Rickson underwent to an arc of philosophical and spiritual transformation in his life. To me he is like *Musashi* from Eiji Yoshikawa: a guy who really evolved from the *JITSU *to the *DO* Today his view of JJ is way distinct of most of the other members of the family.

    Have a look through the work of cameron Shayne and Ido Portal (amongst others). Their movement culture stuff and generalisation work will give options to become super mobile which will help. When you see Rickson on the beach you will see he was doing it years ago! Cameron is more martial arts based so that may suit better.

    Is there a way for you to work around it? I have c6 and c7 herniations that will heal, but then easily get reinjured again. I just tap early and often for chokes. I also do all my physical therapy stretches everyday and that helps. Try to adapt and train BJJ if you can.

    Do you have access to a physical therapist? I have had all sorts of back problems and I do exercises from Dr. Stuart McGill (he's a really big deal, as far as spine physicians go), the Bob and Brad physical therapist youtube channel, and other abdomen and back strengthening exercises. I don't know how many times I thought I was down and out with my back, but have managed to come back. Just be smart and talk to a physical therapist.
