Rickson Gracie Complains ‘Diluted’ Jiu-Jitsu is Becoming a ‘Very Athletic Sport’

Rorion and Relson are his full brothers

In an mma fight?

Do you know what a cradle is?

I wouldn’t call knees from an Olympic champion who has you in a cradle meaningless lol. Have you ever been smashed in a cradle by an Olympic or World champion wrestler? Now imagine him throwing Mark Coleman style knees at your head and body while he’s doing it

Didn’t Helio say Rickson was really 8-0 in MMA?

I wonder how Rickson would do against leg locks. I was surprised that Eddie bravo beat Royler.

I am no great anything. As a purple I heard all the bullshit about Rickson and I thought as many on my Team ( What the F$% ).*
How good can a guy really be. Coming from the Carlson Gracie Team I had wrestled with the best and I knew what the damn deal
was. I was smoking everyone in tournaments as a purple back then and I figuered of course I would get worked but
I was pretty legit and it could not have been that bad if I rolled with Rickson.
I mean what could he possibly do that I had not seen. I got a private, I waited about 2 months for it.

I got so fucked up when we finally rolled I questioned everything and I mean everything that I had ever learned or thought
about Jiu-Jitsu.
I am a Black Belt today under World Champion Rodrigo Medeiros ( Carlson Gracie / BJJ Revolution Team ) I fight regularly in
MMA and I have trained with any and everyone you could imagine.

Rickson is FUCKING FOR REAL.
THERE IS NO MYSTIC, LEGEND OR MYSTERY. HE IS JUST A FUCKING REAL LIVE JIU-JITSU WAR MACHINE MONSTER THAT BRINGS GAME YOU
CANNOT COMPREHEND. UNLESS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED IT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW AND MANY DON’T EVEN HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW HOW BAD
HE IS WHEN THE SESSION IS GOING DOWN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT EVEN GOOD ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE THE DOMINANCE THAT IS TAKING PLACE.

Check me out on OTM or Sherdog. I am legit and this motherfucker is off the fucking charts. What Paulo said doesn’t surprise
me in the least.
I don’t mean to rant and I jock ride no man ever. I rarely ever post on this website or any other. I am just dropping a peice
of knowledge that I possess so the masses know that my experience was felt and my life was changed by a guy that felt
inhuman to roll with.

This one also.

Bomb!! Paulo Filho, Brazilian Top Team’s undefeated MMA champion, is training with Rickson Gracie.

He confessed to GRACIEMAG.com to be astonished with the experience. Filho reveals that he has never seen anyone with the technical knowledge of the great Jiu-Jitsu myth. “I have trained with the toughest guys formed by Carlson Gracie. They were all great and I for sure don’t want to diminish anybody, but I have to say that no one ever did to me what Rickson Gracie has done during training these last days,” confesses last Pride Bushido star. Filho also clarifies that did not change teams. He is still part of BTT, although he points out that he maintains a certain degree of technical secrecy: “The opportunity I’m having is unique, so I’m not divulging it. Those are techniques that I intend to incorporate to my fighting, and hopefully will make me a more worthy Jiu-Jitsu representative.”

Back in the 90’s it was common for a great Jiu-Jitsu champion to train with Rickson and come out astonished. That was the case of Fabio Gurgel, Renzo Gracie, Roberto Roleta, Alexandre Paiva, Nino Schembri, among others. Filho statements are much more powerful for two reasons:

  1. It is current news. It’s been ten years since any first class fighter came public with such statements. Many even thought that Rickson’s supremacy was a thing of the past.

  2. Filho comes from the Carlson Gracie’s lineage, where opinions about Rickson were the most skeptical within the world of Jiu-Jitsu, but maybe only because no one from Carlson’s side had ever the opportunity to train with the icon before Filho. Rickson is training in Brazil for about five months now. Filho confirms that, despite his age, the Gracie is at his top physical shape.

Tito was o. His way to finishing Guy before the restart

Yes.

Schultz was a great grappler. Big, strong, experienced champion on a world class, Olympic level of competition. Anyone who isn’t utterly crushed by him is impressive.

They have their own magazine, like Oprah.

Wasn’t that Faddas specialty when his guys beat the Gracie school?

I recently rewatched the first few UFCs with Royce. He used a lot of athleticism in his fighting.

Please explain. He was significantly less athletic than many of the guys including Severn, Shamrock, Pat Smith, DeLucia, Jimmerson, really almost everyone he fought.

Royce bull dozed into opponents, was very aggressive on take downs and used a lot of energy pulled opp’s arms for arm bars.

Was he using less energy than other fighters? Maybe but still quite athletic

Wrong. How accomplished a wrestler are you? Trust me a great wrestler can definitely generate power with knees to the head… even body from a cradle. I can.

Absolutely. Near side cradle is a great position for devastating knees.

I’ve competed and won many tournaments over the years. And MMA titles. You’ve never won anything. Your stance on knees on the ground here proves you have no wrestling ability or control. My guess is your one of those sit straight to your butt, go straight for the leg lock or the newest ‘guard fad’… choke? Lmao. It tells a lot that you went straight for ‘sweep’ and didn’t say you’d take me down lol. You would never sweep me. You would never choke me. You would never submit me. You ‘tapped’ a adcc competitor once in practice…:joy::joy::joy: Dude I would smash you. You get on here and talk about ‘popping’ people’s knees when they’re a beginner and go too hard on you. That just shows me that you’re a mid level black belt at best and not even good enough to slow down a spazzy white belt and ‘Teach’ them while you roll.
