It's crazy how an entire discipline can be derived from one man figuring out how 2 conquer his own weaknesses... The human mind, body and spirit is so fascinating
Two of the greatest warriors of the new world, the wealth of knowledge and experience sitting in that room is fucking staggering. Thanks Jocko, for letting a vet be a fly on the wall for this
I have a speech issue and I teach/coach. My weakness has made me distill the ideas I need to communicate down to their very essence so that I don't have to talk as much. This has led to higher rates of success by eliminating unnecessary idea clutter. High speed, low drag.
As a retired Army officer I sometimes run across ROTC cadets who crave or need mentoring I cannot give them. I can give them a little but I can only go so far without being tiresome. Young troops want to _do,_ not listen. Thanks to Jocko I can just say "Go to Jocko's UA-cam channel." He's got all the mentoring I could offer _and so much more_ (I wasn't SF). But they can access it on their own terms in their own time. I wish I'd had access to a resource like this when I was a cadet or lieutenant. I'd probably be a damn general by now!
I mean no disrespect, but over the last 40 years, anyone that had good mentoring would Prbly bot join the military. Like General Smeadly butler said - war is a racket.
@@lambynighttrain I joined the Army in 1986. I got stationed in Germany for almost a decade and vacationed in multiple European nations. Ate a lot of gourmet food too. I got out to Korea and some places in the states I'd never gone to. I also got stationed in Turkey and saw many amazing places there as well. I repelled out of helicopters, jumped out of airplanes, and met a lot of interesting, cool people. The GI paid for my 4 year college degree. My deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan weren't fun but there were elements of fun to them. On the downside: I did have to deal with many assholes, hard work, and unfair situations. But there are none of those in civilian life, right? Being stationed in SW Oklahoma sucked but I was only there for a few years. II retired in 2014 with a $40k annual pension which I started receiving the month after I left. Over $3.5k a month for sitting on my butt! Not that I really need it. While I was still in I chucked a fat wad of my pay into stocks and index funds. Now I'm a multi millionaire. I have no mental or physical disabilities. At least none that I didn't start my career with. They told me when I enlisted "if you survive, the military gives you what you put in." My only regret is I didn't put more in. 'Cause from the little I did, I made out like a mad bandit; I'm livin' like a fat rat.
What an impressive man. A real man. A true legend. Most people don't even know everything he has done for martial arts or how high of a skill level he has achieved, because he is so humble. I could listen to this guy talk all night.....
Jesus. I had no idea this could be possible. I bet I’m skinnier than his father. But if there’s a chance to stilll survive when a bigger person is laying on top of you raining down attacks, that’s so cool. Thanks for sharing
Powerful principles. This is a great conversation. I know this may sound crazy, but I find so much of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu aligns with biblical principles.
@@JesusChrist-he7sk This is a strange reply to my sincere comment. Based on your UA-cam name, I would guess this is something you do often. I wish you well.
The Gracie's contribution to grappling is without question monumental. But the self-promotion and lore is unnecessary, and has been disproven. Chadi has some great in depth videos on YT. That said, it's always interesting and enlightening to hear from someone with great expertise.
Couldn't agree more. What turns me off with the Gracie's is the huge ego they all seem to have as well as the constant self promotion mixed with disinformation.
@@simbabwe2907 you have clearly not seen any of Chadi's videos. They are wonderfully done and narrated. Full of great footage, analysis, and nuance. That's not to say he gets everything right, as none of us do. Including yourself just now.
Lore has its place and purpose. The helio gracie story serves the purpose of opening the mind of all people to possibility, and making jiu jitsu inclusive. No martial art is perfect, but this is hands down the most powerful and important message of jiu jitsu, empowering and giving confidence to everyone.
19 years practicing Gracie Jiujitsu. Rodrigo Medeiros taught me how to be heavy...college wrestling taught me how to be nimble..thai boxing taught me how to stop multiple attackers. But BJJ is what I love the most.
I love ppl who trash the Gracie family and say they are wrong when they say current sport bjj isn't adequate for self defense. I'm gonna go ahead and believe/learn from the son of the man who created BJJ AND the UFC
@@TewodrosBaye1 Yeh, I don't think anyone has ever claimed Royce was the best Gracie. There were people outside of the Gracies in Brazil that were better. Not to knock his acomplishments though, must have been very tough to fight in the early UFC's with the Gracie name on his shoulders!
@@tilikumtim5562 Royce competed because he is not as strong as Rickson. The reason is they wanted to promote Gracie's jiujitsu to be a style for the normal and weaker person. Royce impersonated it well. They all know Rickson is the best in the family in all aspects.
@@TewodrosBaye1 That wasn't the case according to Rickson in this interview. This is Echo putting that question to Rickson and his response: ua-cam.com/video/mt_8doJ6M4k/v-deo.html
I always think Jujitsu is amazing then a Wrestler comes in and takes some Jujitsu and becomes far better than those who just use Jujitsu alone even if they have 3 plus years experience
I find it wierd Rickson says that Helio was skinny and sickly and that he couldn't do 1 push or 1 pull up when you can find pictures of him online were he looks pretty athletic and strong. Plus didnt he go toe to toe with Kimura without passing out? Also bjj techniques off your back already existed in judo
BJJ has the most successful marketing campaign of any martial art. But no matter what anyone says, if you are giving up 30lbs+ to your opponent and s/he knows anything about fighting, BJJ is not a good idea.
Kozen Judo, with most of the fundamental techniques we know, was there already. Even De la Riva guard, you can see old Japanese videos.... Brazilians built on that, like Americans are building on top of BJJ. Don't dismiss or speak lightly of Japanese Jiu Jitsu.
hm, saying both extremes in one sentence soudns good, though it sounds like "investment" (aggression) - "reward" (get the aggression and damage back :D ) ... dividing is nonsense ... and if it is so, you dont need to claim that ...
There, from India to Palestine, our heros face many foes and uncertainties. They venture the Red sea to avoid the Iran Iraqi conflict, and arrive at Saudi Arabia.
The history that the gracies want to sell out ! 🤣🤣. Do your search, don’t buy fools gold. Want the true ? Start from Looking for the FADA family. The real thing.
Yeah calling someone who actually fought in the ring coward is rich. And Sakuraba himself said the match was agreed and then Ricksons son died. Haters gonna hate.

- Leverage replaces strength
- Technique replaces speed

Lol

I’ve never done jiu jitsu but that podcast still gives so many lessons. Legendary podcast
Bro....do it. One of the best decisions I've ever made.
Do it.
What if it's too expensive in my area?
I've really wanted to get into it after listening to this podcast but it's just too expensive in the bay area.
@@gagemorrow6702 Go in and let them know your circumstances. Might be able to work something out with them.
Best decision I did. Helped me get a foundation for life. With practice and adjustments you get better
I like how confident is his eye contact. Very good speech !
That is the confidence of a man who knows without a doubt that he is extremely dangerous and has no need to fear or be insecure around anyone.
What an impressive man. A real man. A true legend. Most people don't even know everything he has done for martial arts or how high of a skill level he has achieved, because he is so humble. I could listen to this guy talk all night.....
Thank you Willink
Thanks for posting. Sending a lot of love and respect to you both for the work you are doing and have done! Keep killing it out there.
Thank you Jocko! Thank you Rickson!

Thank you!
It's nice that Rickson learned English but kept the Brazilian accent. Sounds cool. I wish I have learned it that way.
These podcasts have helped me with self discipline
So precise. Keep up the great work 👍
One of the best podcasts ever.

Chadi is pretty bad.makes videos about stupid things.he also things like someone from a aikido cultist..
He didn't read Robert Drysdale book. All the truth about bjj is in there.. Pas vrai @Chadi?

I'm happy to say this man was the one who introduced me to MMA through his career - what a real martial artist
This is best actual break down/ quantification of helio gracie's adaptation to jujitsu to bjj🙇♂️🥋
Doing what’s possible... that’s the Way.
Not the reg J P Casting call but still dope. Keep it up boys loved every min.

Respect.
I love the history of BJJ. The history preceding it is also really engaging, but this sickly kid becoming a master is one of my favorites.
Mountains form next to valleys. Our greatest strengths are often produced because of our greatest weaknesses.
I love ppl who trash the Gracie family and say they are wrong when they say current sport bjj isn't adequate for self defense. I'm gonna go ahead and believe/learn from the son of the man who created BJJ AND the UFC
The best Gracie of 'em all.
I think even Rickson wouldn't agree with that. Rolls was the best.

@@whatname4613 Rickson is the history maker.
Makes sense to me although zero jujitsu anything besides this here ol internet
Die or adapt per survival. That is the true law of the animal kingdom.
I mean, all things are mortal. Except perhaps All Things.
I often wonder how much calories Jocko consumes and expenses daily, both phisicaly and mentaly.

I wonder what kind of strength could come from my weakness of sleeping issues
Read books and transform your mind
If you aren’t sleeping you can be productive in some way, maybe?
Comparing the body to the power of the brain 🧠
Physics , in real time !
It's sad we need subtitles pin 2021
Kosen judo literally had every parr of judo they keep trying to credit the gracies with. Its literally all even the kodakan books.
If my weakness is I lay down all day and watch JoJo and avoid reality, what is my strength?
Attention span
You conserve energy. You also avoid the mental stress of dealing with the bullshit in the workd

the coward that never dared to fight against the gracie killer, Sakuraba
Yeah calling someone who actually fought in the ring coward is rich. And Sakuraba himself said the match was agreed and then Ricksons son died. Haters gonna hate.
