Filmed in Rio de Janeiro in July of 2011 shortly before he taught a seminar on his "invisible jiu-jitsu", this rare interview gives us an insight into this master's philosophies and attitudes like never before. This exclusive English language interview, BJJ legend Master Rickson Gracie discusses topics such as:

* How his philosophy and attitude toward jiu-jitsu has changed with age.
* Why people should learn his "invisible jiu-jitsu".
* How he feels about modern techniques and positions such as 50-50 guard.
* His attitude toward modern advancements in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
* Who he feels will carry on the family legacy by promoting the art of jiu-jitsu.

Where can I learn this approach to BJJ? It seems like most BJJ schools are geared towards BJJ or modern MMA competition. I would like to learn from this perspective.

i love how he says: perfect technique and special attitude towards it lends itself to effectiveness and efficiency of technique application...and he's right, no such thing as luck...only hard work and time in the trenches will get you realworld results...nice to see he's still grounded in work ethic...

[felipede0107]

@tfiraz bro he hast lost ones he is brazilian like me we dont have that shit about competition all i have to say he never lost actuly now he got 460 wins if you didnt know he fought till he is 50 and what you sayin about his dad cuz damn he sure was the one who told people about rickson record and you are the only retard here for sayin stupid shit like that my little bro that is 19 got 153-45 in bjj.. go look at rickson all fights then come at me calling me a retard you stupid bitch

[tfiraz]

@felipede0107 Wrong, even his own father said its bullshit and I've seen footage of him losing a few times, hes great but he isn't anywhere near undefeated. Retards who believe shit like he's 400-0 should go watch another sport.
