Well, after 14 years of Brazilian jiu jitsu, my instructor Adam Metcalf and Rigan Machado presented me with my black belt last night. Watching this video and listening to him talk in class today and yesterday humbles me.
Long way to go and it seems I’ve only taken the first step.
By the way, I started at 42 years of age and I’m now 56. Never say never.
Amazing!
Thats inspiring. Im a 40yr old white belt. Congratulations!
Man, so happy for you!
Respect
Respect from Croatia! I am judo brown belt and just started bjj! Never say never!!!!!!!!
I didn't start BJJ until I was 42, First with Relson then with Roller, got my black belt 12 years later (so overcome with emotion I cried like a baby) and then met Rickson at a seminar, just being in his presence was an honor, so humble and respectful. Gracie BJJ is been one of the greatest gifts this life could give. I'm now 58, still roll daily, I cannot imagine life without this. it's an honor to put my Gi and wrap that belt and to the real men out there that do this, love my brothers, tough men, kind hearts!!!
Congratulations ❤️
God bless amigo started at 43 lol now 46
Congratulations Sir!
Started a couple months ago and I'm 40. Awesome story bro! Love hearing these over 40 stories lol. Gives me hope!
So nice story! Tks for sharing, inspiring.
I can proudly say that as a white belt back in the 90's I got choked out (all the way!) by Rigan. I woke up and looked at him and he's like "Don, you must learn to tap out!". Great advice.
+Don Pendergraft Lmao
awesome
+Jake Steel
so fanny like granny
+Jake Steel y is you evil
+Jake Steel I would expect him to say.... Jake, you need to learn to SWALLOW!
This is why Rickson Gracie deserves the Red Belt. Rigan Machado and his family are very humble and extremely skilled in BJJ. What a classy guy Rigan is.
Carlos was my old teacher. He was always a perfect gentleman.
That is this cousin he was fighting.
the amount of respect these legends have for each other is mind blowing and beautiful thing to see and learn from.
I've had the privilege to have seminars with both of these guys in their later years. rickson did not spar mainly because of injuries but his knowledge was unprecendeted of positions and finetuning the details of basic moves you "think" you knew. Rigan on the other hand was sparring and teaching. I saw him roll through 5 black belts all while holding conversations. i've never seen a guy that large, do handstand passing, rolls and appear to be a feather weight in his movements. Both guys to me are just phenoms and that is the bottom line
Crazy part is you can see Rigan is giving everything in his might and Rickson looks so relaxed on the bottom like “just another day at the gym”. That’s why Rickson will forever be the greatest BJJ practitioner ever.
Rickson said on multiple occasions Rolls was the best of all of them.
@@lucasgreen4052Rolls was the pioneer of the family. He was smart enough to venture out in search of making BJJ a more well rounded art and studied other martial art forms who's principles were incorporated into BJJ. He was the risk taker and adventurer of the family.
Yes-I know this. Hence my comment. @@Quantum3691
I have been on the mats with both of these men something they will never remember but I will never forget! Absolutely Beautiful! Thank you 🇺🇸 🇧🇷
@@SamSam-80 Who do you call big black belts?
Its amazing how much respect people have for Rickson, i´ve never seen anyone saying one bad thing about him
Child^
That's because for a complete badass he's such a quality person.
DhDeadMan I have watched a video where wanderlei Silva said that Dickson live in the past, that was like ten years ago .
Well people have said that he ducked Sakuraba.
he didn't duck sakuraba, his son died.
Rickson Gracie was clearly a genius.
@Brian Jones He was 11-0 in mma. I wouldn't call that unproven. Plus, with Vale Tudo style fights in Brazil and real fights that were recorded like Hugo Darte and Yoji Anjo, there's not really an aspect of martial arts in which Rickson should be referred to as "unproven". His status as a legend is well-deserved!
MrDayday4641 tough man!
lots of nay sayers on here. but, but , but
Hybrid MMA fighters will eat Gracie's a live and demolished their invisibility cloak that they're selling to their students. Why Rickson didn't fight Sakuraba after Sakuraba demolished almost his entire family
@@xrizbira what the problem between fake profiles and Rickson? kkk
Rick fuck the ALL fake profiles wifes? kkk
Every place have hate, and every time is a fake kkkk
legit guys call Rickson a good person and fighter...
fake guys call Rickson a bad person and fighter...
i belive in fake or legit profiles? kkkk
Sorry for my bad english, i coment in here only for training my is bad and poor english level kkk
I don't do jiu Jitsu but love hearing their stories
+peter kim never too late to write your own chapter man.
I don't either but I'd love to learn tho, Gotta be the best self defense
+peter kim well, you should... its the greatest thing ever!
+peter kim Most places offer a free class or two.
On Joe Rogans podcast, Rickson tells awesome story's..!!!!
Years ago in Niagara Falls Ontario Rickson was brought in to do a weekend seminar from Friday to Sunday. He went over time every day and worked hands on with everyone present. If I recall there was only about 53 of us in the class. His wife at the time was with him and also participated in the seminar. He was very approachable and excellent presentator for his art
1996!
@@turntablesrockmyworld9315 I thought it was later than that but could be wrong
@@k9aid514 hola amigo
Please, give more of the classics. This is golden.
Rigan taught one of the first Mexican if not THE first Mexican black belt and I'm honored to know that my heritage has a little part of history in this sport.
First Mexican black belt is Ica Medina
THE HISTORY GOES BACK FURTHER THAN THAT. ROLLS GRACIE WHO ALSO TAUGHT RICKSON, HELP REVOLUTIONIZE THE SPORT OF JIU JITSU BY ADDING WRESTLING TO IT, WRESTLING THAT HE LEARNED FROM MEXICAN WRESTLERS!
Unless I'm mistaken, Rigan gave the first Australian his black belt
@@vincespell Rolls is the one that introduced the sankaku-jime triangle to BJJ after seeing it in a judo book. Yeah, I was surprised too.
@@vincespell wrestling that Rolls learned from Bod Anderson an American get your history right
HESPECT!!
Luke Bates LMAO funny
I understood that reference!
@@johnnypeaches4042 *heference
@@GravisTKD oh you!
@@johnnypeaches4042 :D
Very cool interview from Rigan, a true master... OSS!
Rickson done changed his life. Cool because this man just reassured me about humbleness over revenge or anger. This man is legit and humble. Amazing stuff right here 🙏🏻
Only Rickson could tame The Incredible Hulk!
That man is also his cousin.
Rickson is helping me right now without knowing it through life and BJJ, life been tough right now but humbleness and peace is what I need.
I attended a seminar with Rigan in 1999. The guy's Jiu-Jitsu is just amazing!!!!
Really great video. Good job!
Absolutely admire this man's unwavering respect for his coach. Don't see this much anymore. Makes it that much better IMHO. 💯🥊
Great video, thank for uploading.
Where is the fight?
What a classic!, thanks for posting this!, legends of the mat!
Rigan looks like an overweight version of Sylvester Stallone.
well they say for every 20 pounds over your weight you give your opponent a belt..he be a tough opponent indeed :P
yeah and he'll choke you the fuck out.
haha no doubt. Rigan is such a high level jiu jitsu practitioner that he'd choke out any one of us posting comments.
But way deadlier version
Rickson will always remain the most badass Gracie ever! i so love the fact that everyone in the Jiu Jitsu community respects each other so much! #JiuJitsuforlife #JiuJitsu
+Ridam Bhattacharjee Oss!
+Ridam Bhattacharjee Rickson was scared to fight sakuraba. What a disgrace!
I say rolls gracie!!
Marco Lopez
Royce, on the other hand, was not scared of anyone and took the challenges even though he lost to Sakuraba.
+Carl Xross I said Rolls Gracie not Royce
I love the back stories of yesteryears fights.
On Joe Rogans podcast, Rickson tells awesome story's..!!!!
stories too
Dio Santana
Wow, am I dumb or what...lol
Thanks for posting!!
Actually, Rigan Machado says he's not a Muslim, that he never converted, and that this video is a fake, that was edited. What do you guys believe?
Absolutely fantastic!
Rickson is obviously one of the most skilled the World has ever known, but what makes Rickson a true Legend is his intelligence. He is truly brilliant, I can honestly say I've never had the privilege of listening to him without learning something new. Every interview, every conversation, regardless, I always learn something and get a new perspective, it's blows my mind everytime, the biggest lesson is when you think you know something, the truth is you don't know what you don't know and Rickson will humble anyone with just a 5 minute conversation.
Too many people think they know, and think they an expert, but they just scratching the surface, the tip of the iceberg, only the exceptional go deep and when they get to the bottom, they start digging to go even deeper, that's true expertise.
love the respect of those incredible bjj masters. Beautiful words are said.
Imagine if our politicians studied jiujitsu and had the respect for each other these guys do. It would change the world
From a lover of jujitsu ………truly a beautiful video.
I studied BJJ for a few years in my early 20's. My instructor was Steve Watkins, an ex-Navy SEAL who knew Rickson Gracie as a friend and learned the art from him as well. Steve always spoke highly of Rickson and the Gracie family and although I never met Rickson, I have always admired and respected him. BTW, I was in the best shape of my life when I grappled. My body felt as one with the ground. Hard to explain. :)
awesome work guys
I don’t practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu formally but I have the utmost respect for the art and the old school masters. No trash talking or bad mouthing or out of ring antics like you see in a lot of modern day mma athletes. -these guys Rickson and Rigan exemplify what it is to be martial artists.
Thank you so much
A GREAT battle. Two great warriors, both of them are my heroes!!!
So much respect for these guys.
Listening to him talk I really appreciate Renato's impersonation on the accent. Lol. He freakin nails it perfectly.
love this guys respect and humble attitude.
Humility Respect and Appreciation
i was lucky to have trained with machado bros in Redondo beach and Rickson in west LA in the early 90s. They are as kind as they are tough. Great times....
They should do it now!
I don't even like BJJ but this is totally respect inducing. What a warrior gentleman!
Can we have the 90s Jiu jitsu back? Early 2000s? The self defence based stuff
Oss! Great lesson!
Love it!
Would've loved to have seen this live.
Two masters of the art....
Here from the jre mma show !
Beautiful words
Just met him in my club, really nice guy!
I heard a rumor years ago about them, that the Machados and the Gracies were cousins. Not sure if its true, but both families are very skilled in BJJ.
They are cousins.
I started knowing about jujitsu in my early 20s I'm 56 now, i have so much respect for all practitioners... its a very demanding marital art form...
Well said brother.....
Good to see such honor amongst men. Not easy to find in the world today.
Could use more respect like that in everyday life.
Awesome
Que o esporte sempre cresça.
Independentemente de quem seja melhor ou não o importante é espalhar a cultura e fazer mais pessoas praticarem.
Sempre vai aparecer um alguém querendo rebaichar o outro ou falar mal dos próprios lutadores brasileiros.
Mad respect.
Great mind set 🙏 beyond martial art highest level humans can't see or feel
Amazing
Legends without them the sport would have never grown like it has
Anyone else here from searching Sanabul gis? I bought one, and it's pretty damn awesome.
awesome
This is the true embodiment of the philosophy of martial arts, something that is almost lost today.
Actually, Rigan Machado says he's not a Muslim, that he never converted, and that this video is a fake, that was edited. What do you guys believe?
Respect!
Hey Luke! Don't you wanna fight Yoda for real? Common, dude! Do it!
Very difficult having to fight the person who trained you
True
.... but you never taught me that, CHEATER!!!!!
He is also his cousin.
Beautiful...!!! Ossss
Class.
Man I wish I was there
beautiful
Beautiful
Two masters no doubt. Rickson basically refused his Red Belt..said he wasn't worthy, wasn't at that level yet..his masterful peers thought he was. The most masterful feeling he still had more to learn and develop...that's a life's lesson for me.
Where can I watch the whole match?
I have a VHS recording Somewhere but you’re right can’t find it on UA-cam
Rolls Gracie what submission did he win by?
victor perez It may be a joke I know but I heard at the time Hicks pulled out a joke no one had seen before that was a long time ago Truth I’m not sure
But rickson Got Dropped on his head passed out couple seconds I believe it
I have the whole match on VHS somewhere I believe I’ve seen it on UA-cam but I can’t find it anymore it’s as if this tape has taken over if you find it let me know as well
Lescouflair If you do jui jitsu This match did not make me that much better watching Marcelo Garcia John jock in the Charo
Lescouflair Watching this match didn’t make me that much better if you are a jits practitioner. Marcelo Garcia John Joque machado back in the day those the people I study teachers had stuff from me. In the old days they either hide the information the high-level stuff or they I didn’t know .
Plato said information is published and unpublished love something enough you get it from sky the universe
No dude! You showed respect! Your coach ... had a huge psychological advantage and knew it! You are the real winner!
Rickson went on to train the Incredible Hulk and Rigan went on to train The Batman
I'm not a Jiu Jitsu practioner (I lean more towards ''striking'' martial arts) but man... I feel like I'm falling in love with it just because of Rickson's stories back then and how this man is. Almost as memorable as people like Bruce Lee or Muhammad Ali for example. Big man. Big man Rigan too for sure for having that kind of respect to someone else.
I'm absolutely in the same spirit. You can't argue with the empirical evidence.
***** Cool story mate.
So you got rid of that Leo guy. What kind of dueche bag was that guy?
I feel very lucky to be learning jiujitsu from an instructor that got his black belt from rickson. if you ever have to opportunity to learn dont' pass it up..great cardio and the ability to know you can handle yourself and even choke out someone without hurting them to stop the fight is a great feeling.
if you only have striking in your arsenal you have a Grand Canyon size hole in your game.
That's respect!
spoken like a gentlemen....
Mora há quantos anos nos EUA?
Rickson is truly a master compared to none
Amazing video
Porra tinha q ter legenda
Thanks for advertising the fight and then not showing it.
I could relate to what hes saying ecspecially if Rickson was my instructor/professor
RESPECT
Mmm it takes courage to admit your defeat and to say what you did wrong. You may have lost that battle, but as a man, you are the Champ!
I thought this video was the actual fight. Title needs to be edited.
Essa luta aconteceu no dia 19 de outubro de 1986, num domingo, na 3ª Copa Company
Olá, e a luta dele contra o Sérgio Pena ou é ele? Rickson vs Pena?
@@SamSam-80 As duas entre o Rickson e o Sérgio Penha foram em novembro de 1981! Espero que um dia divulguem o vídeo dessa luta!
Mas a luta existia em vídeo ou fita na época?
@@SamSam-80 me disseram que sim, por isso tenho esperança de que apareça um dia1
Ok, vamos torcer por algum tempo. É verdade o que falam do jiu-jitsu de Rickson na época contra faixas-pretas famosos? Porque não há vídeo como prova.
Wise man
MACHADOS AND GRACIES ARE GREAT FAMILIES. NEVER DIE
A big knock on both Rickson and Rigan is that their submission grappling records. Which is unfair in my opinion because Brazilian media or whatever else should have done a better job of preserving the records of the events where the two supposedly won countless matches.
I saw one site claiming Rigan has 7 wins and 8 losses with no submission victories which sounds utterly preposterous. Anyone who knows Rigan claims he is on a different level and I absolutely believe it as well.
Records do not mean much in reality. These two are absolute heroes to me. But I hate it when people doubt and hate because sherdog or bjjheroes doesn't document them because these men are worthy of all the respect in the world.
MindMotionMA The brazilian media is a whore bitch.
This is what it's like when worlds collide.
Rickson is a legend man
Lindas palavras do Rigan Machado, parabéns Deus abençoe!!! OOOSSSSS
LOL. Rigan said he was rolling respectfully then later said he was going for blood.
Tough men!
Im a competitive person, i want to face the best even if its a person a really admire and respect
Joshua Smith ur a fkn loser
did cho hogan get black belch from heem?
him and eddie bravo both.
