Been comfortable with the fact that what you believe today may not be what you believe tomorrow. We get so stuck on our identity that we believe our beliefs cant change but they can it's all part of growth.
I lost my son in 2019...I understand completely how Gracie felt. And my attention has become very present to any situation and has extended to helping others through grief. I am grateful for the time I spent with my son. Thank you sir for sharing your journey. Many blessings.
No hate here really glad that you found the light with jiujitsu but may i ask you how it actually helped you ? i mean did the environment of the dojo help or the integration with team mates ? or did the actual sport that helped ? did the fact that you saw yourself improve and learn jiujitsu helped? I'm trying to understand how it effects the human mind/body and the way that it 'heals' . I've been practicing jiujitsu for 3 years now and i love it i really do but i don't see the resemblance yet, am i doing something wrong? or is it just a stage that I'm yet to achieve? If i touched a sensitive subject please don't answer I'm just asking from pure curiosity and to learn the 'proper way'.
@@txc_mafia9690 All of the above. I can't answer how or why it may affect you or anyone else differently. I don't know your circumstances, your reason for doing bjj, where you live, what you do in life, the list goes on. There is no "proper way", just whatever your own way is. I'm not saying this in an insensitive way, just that things are different for different people. Enjoy your journey
One of the greatest moments of my life was attending a Rickson Gracie seminar in Richmond, Virginia at the LINXX Academy over 20 years ago. I learned more in 2 days than I’d learned in all the years prior ❤ Rickson is an extraordinary human being.
When I was a kid living in ex USSR I watched this man fighting on a pirate VHS tape copies. Rickson brought a strategy and mindfulness to the totally brutal competition without any rules practically. It was a revolution! A true legend! Thank you for this guest!
Everyone knows Rickson is great. But when you learn more about him and his Heritage and his experiences and his constant contributions to the world .. you shake your head and take a deep breath and realize.. we have this great privilege of learning from this great man and legend. Rickson is the best

@@christiankovacs8944 I would say you didn’t understand what I was saying. Their areas of interest definitely *INTERSECT* … But they’re definitely not parallel or moving in the same direction.
I started reading “Breathe” last week. I was drawn to it to learn more mental, spiritual and physical resilience as a single parent entrepreneur. It’s riveting, inspiring, and chock full of insights related to mental transcending challenges and embracing this moment. So happy to see Rickson here. Fantastic interview!!
Most people really underestimate the power of breathing exercises. Its understandable - it is hard to believe that something so simple can have such a profound effect
@Owi Owi I agree with you on most of your statements, I believe a vegan diet is healthier than one that includes meat, but unfortunately we can't change thousands of years of evolution, evolution where our ancestors were fed with meat now our system depends of meat to grow ok, yes i understand that nowadays most products are full of garbage like hormones, but the proof of what I'm saying is that I have met many vegan people and none of them look healthier than those who eat meat, most of those people look weak and fragile. I was a skinny guy when I grew up and always wanted to gain some weight and while at military boarding school I had a friend who used to read and know a lot about diets and used to tell me how some veggies were full of protein he even traded his meat meals for those veggies, during our 3 years at school together I never saw him gaining more than 2-3 kgs of muscle or mass I personally kept my diet with meat, lots of tortillas, and potatoes, and that helped to go from 59 kg to 82 kg during the same 3 years, not a single pound of fat, ever since I kept one rule in my life, for example while going to the gym and I have some skinny or chubby trainers coming to me and telling how to do and exercise, "don't ever listen to someone smaller (I dont mean this in the de-meaner way) than myself", same rule applies to diets, but this is just my personal opinion and experience, I did tried going vegetarian but never worked for me couldn't mantain my desire weight.
@Owi Owi dude I took a look at your UA-cam playlists, if your vegan diet is so good why does your life and health look so miserable? Why Your playlists are filled with so many "how to cure" this and that mental and physical diseases? Or Is that your so called "education"? You are the clear example of what I've been talking about, people that supposedly know everything about nutrition but their own health is clearly the worst. I can only feel sorry for you dude, seriously get some professional help.
*Most people sit around and wait for inspiration, just some rare people get up and get to work.* *I may not know you personally, but I believe in you that you will succeed!* 🙏
I had the great honor to have met his son. it was in Tampa, Florida in the 90s, maybe 96. Rickson and his son showed up unannounced and rolled with us for over an hours. Rockson was 14...Amazing technique. Amazing kid. I have a great picture of that day, the six of us, lined up. Amazing guest. Thank you Tom.
Rockson became my good friend in high school. We both went to the same continuation school. He introduced me to the back bone of my company. I’m a private self defense instructor and I’m grateful to have known and trained with Rickson and Rockson. RIP Rockson. We had so many great times together. 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
Lost my dad Last month. And definitely jiu jitsu is my healing. Pain is still there cause how we ended 😢 but I’m finding how to cope and deal with uncomfortable emotions because of jiu jitsu
This is absolutely amazing. I literally just finished Rickson's book, "Breathe", today, then I found this. Hearing Rickson speak about his experiences directly is so powerful after hearing the book first. Wow. Thank you, Rickson, and Tom Bilyeu!
Beyond being an incomparable champion, Master Gracie is a truly great teacher. As a Yoga breathing teacher, I can tell by taking one look at Tom that, above all else, he needs to learn how to breathe. (This observation is supported in a number of other interviews in which Tom talks about the importance of getting plenty of sleep.) Master Gracie brought up the importance of breath twice; when Tom showed no interest, he effortlessly went with whatever direction Tom set. I am totally awestruck by this man. Totally awestruck.
I have never heard such a powerful message in my life. It felt as if every word he spoke changed me...as if he was actually able to speak to my soul. I've never felt so I'm tune....like this is exactly what I needed to hear exactly when I needed to hear it. It's a level of enlightenment I've never witnessed/felt. It just made sense to my head, to my heart and to the parts of me that I rarely even let myself access. Thank you Master Rickson you have lightened my life today. I only hope I can start to follow the knowledge I have just attained. 🤗
Such an incredible interview. One of my favorite episodes. I hung on to his every word. Rickson is a true warrior in every sense of the word. I was so inspired... especially by the opening fight story where he could have easily hurt his opponent but chose a more graceful approach.
This interview was awesome, Mr Rickson Gracie My Condolences To You, Your Wife And Your Family On The Passing Of Your Son, Much Respect To The Gracie Clan. I grew up in the 80's-90's you wasn't just a Martial Artist, your a real Honorable Dude. So Glad Your Still Living Well! 1 luv
One of the most amazing people on the planet. I've had the pleasure and honor of training with a few members of the Gracie family, they were all amazing people (in their own right), but Rickson, he's just all heart.... It's one of my biggest dreams to sit and talk to him (not to mention roll, that would be just... incredible!)... Some people (me amongst them) "Rickson IS Jiu Jitsu, and Jiu Jitsu is Rickson)...
I met Rickson in Chicago 1992, two day seminar's. Great experience,this was before there was ever an UFC. Years later I was lucky to train and learn from Carlson Gracie Sr. Both these masters were my greatest influences in jiu-jitsu and also life,Thank You for your blessings...
This is the best all time interview that I have ever witness this show. So many different aspects of life was touched. My biggest take away is that strength is always revealed in adversity!! So always remember not to run from a challenge but go call it out and look for it.
I just want to say thank you to Tom, Lisa and all the people on this amazing show. I love listening to every guests story and taking aspects and applying them to my life. Thank you all for sharing.
I have followed Rickson since 1993 and I can say that he is a role model and superb martial artist. I don't think he ever lost a fight. A true Master in every way.
@@scarred10 have you fought ever? 450 matches and they were all no good??? Even if you compete against 5 guys ever, I guarantee you’ll have at least one out five that are good opponents.
@@Chromedome053 rickson has had 11 fights,the rest were grappling matches and the vast majority just sparring sessions with students,that's what makes up the 450.And yes,none of these 11 were elite mma fighters,that's why rickson fought them but the money was better in Japan.
Life has a tendency to provide a person with what they need in order to grow. Our beliefs, what we value in life, provide the roadmap for the type of life that we experience. 🔥
Tom, this was one of your best interviews ever. "His" life lessons are lessons that everyone can learn and especially those that are in business. Him not quitting in those situations where his life could have ended is amazing. Him going home and being rolled up in the carpet so he would know how to deal with certain situations in competition was a learning lesson for me. Thank you for such a great guest & interview!
The fighter he’s talking about is called Zulu, a self made fighter, nobody taught him how to fight. He is living in poverty since years. He needs recognition, and help out of extreme poverty, please to the Gracies to help him!!
Hes one class act this man,and now i have a new outlook on life and how to handle stressful situations the world flings at me.just loved this.what a legend and man
You must be joking.he had 11 fights against useless opponents,the rest were bjj matches and just practice.Hes an incredible grappler and I even was at several of his seninars but im not impressed with his nonsense record or the example he set.
@@MrSmitht04 not lied about a fight record.If he just told the truth I woukd have no issue with him was an incredible talent on the mat.I was never the president of a country but know donald trump is a pure liar also.
@@scarred10 read his book. Most or this stuff others have said about him. He just went along with whatever. Rickson had more unsanctioned fights than anything.
@MrSmitht04 he had virtually no unsanctioned fights, that record includes sparring with students and seminar sparring.Street fights against untrained people are not a fight record eitherway.
Rickson was my Jiu Jutsu teacher up until Rockson passed away. Best JiuJitsu teacher of all time. Incredible man 👨. Very kind person. When he would come into the JiuJitsu school ~ Rickson would shake hands 🙌 with the first person he seen then work his way around the room shaking everyone 🤚. Made you feel like 👍🏻 you was his family. His JiuJitsu was second to none. He was the best. Glad to share time and space with the man on the JiuJitsu Matt. Learned more about life from him. Miss Rickson Gracie a lot. In fact I miss him everyday! God Bless Rickson Gracie and his family!
Rockson Gracie was un~believable at the age of 16 years ~ I watched him go through MMA fighters like 👍🏻 a hot knife through butter 🧈 . I have nothing but blessed memories of the master Rickson Gracie and his family. I used to travel 2 hours on Saturday to watch him teach his children in private classes at his Pacific palisades school. I learned Gracie JiuJitsu from the best. God bless Rickson Gracie and his family.
What an extraordinary Man. Being 68 and after having read so many books, watching so many motivational videos and more. I have leaned so much more from this Wonderful Man : Thank You Rickson and Tom for this wonderful interview.
Very Inspiring man in Jiu-jitsu and his values in life. God bless you 🙏 Rickson and thank you for everything! And many thanks to Tony for the great interview 👍
what a legend! So much stories and experiences, ups and downs. Beautiful life resume. Seen this great interview i see how blessed i was to be born in Brazil and find this knowledge when i was 15 years old. Helped me to keep the samurai track, with respect, passion and dedication. keeping the bullies away with just my vibration,. If you have a son or daughter, thats the sport. Just find a mindfull teacher. And Jesus as the spiritual master!
How can there be ANY downvotes? Such a great guest and a great interview from Tom. Better than I would have expected from Tom, and I expect always a great interview. Someone mentioned one of the most prestigious guests ever here - I agree.
He's an icon of my Youth when Jiu-jitsu was My Life. Those were some of the best days of my life and I will always cherish those memories. Shout out to "Limao" my master at that time! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!
Literally the greatest fighter of all time. The way the world is now and going forward, we will never have another opportunity for someone to match his greatest or exceed it.
Thank you! Tom thank you for bringing such incredible person! Thank you for providing all the important information such as the book name and where to connect with this incredible, amazing wise man❤
Great interview Tom! It is wonderful to see you being interviewed here Rickson Gracie. Legend! What you said about feeling yourself deeply. The direct connection between the brain and the heart is fascinating. It it such a gift yet a powerful tool that you have mastered. Amazing. My uncle was Jujitsu world champion many moons ago - Paul Lloyd -Davies. Do you remember him? I remember him breaking a brick in half when I was six, at the dinner table. ;.P. Look after yourself. May you continue to be blessed.
Rickson Gracie had me enlightened excellent you don’t get this in school. If children had people like this we wouldn’t have suicide. “Lungs are connected to heart and mind”.
Incredible person reading this, you have everything there is to succeed in life, whatever that is for you. Go after the life you truly want NOW! ✨ I believe in you! Love - Nat ❤️

SUCH WISE WORDS, HE SAID SO MUCH MORE BETWEEN THE LINES, WE NEED MORE INSTRUCTORS LIKE THAT IN THE WORLD, OSU SENSEI RICKSON, ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPLANASHION OF BUSHIDO MINDSET , OSU
I love this interview. I learned so much from it since I like MMA. So I realize that Win Huf is not the creator of cold baths and breathing exercises. It is the man, Mr. Gracie. Amazing!
BJJ changed my life. It is arena of humility and constant growth. That and surfing. Those two hobbies have been phenomenal vehicles to challenge, growth and confidence. If you’re a cocky person or full of yourself, see how long that lasts on the mats or in the ocean.
I love the variety of your guests. I would have never thought to see a MMA fighter on here. I am a huge MMA fan and have been watching UFC since the early days when Royce was submitting everyone.
The most important aspect of ypur talks is that you iask the right queation in the way that it can bring out from the speakers' experiences facts( hidden in his/her memories). Its better than reading a book in some way. Thanks for that.
Damn the GOAT just got even greater. He shows such strength in showing his vulnerability. Another layer to this true samurai. Loved his book couldn't put it down. Thank you for this.
Second time watching this... I now read the book. I was in tears reading this in some places. I still look forward to meeting this man. (Although I must confess I would probably start crying :D :) )
I've trained with several world champions and I mean the best of the best some 60lbs heavier than me and he was able to escape everything I tried and him being in his 60's. He is a what a true martial artists should strive to be.
These are incredible for when im trying to stay focused. Even when im super invested i can tend to drift off in my mind. But this is great to Keep any dostractions at a distance. I wouldve got so much done if i had this method. But i can still get stuff done and really appreciate it. I have to say! When he has a chance to speak he does it on his terms and slows down to get his message across. Its subtle but powerful. ❤
"And I notice my worst enemy at this point was my own mind, playing tricks on me. It tell me I don't have enough, tell me I tired, tell me I gonna lost -- So my mind was COMPLETELY against my purpose. And I felt like I could not let this happen, EVER. So after that fight I make a statement in my spiritual and my mind; I said 'I'm not going to quit anymore. I prefer to die than think I have to quit.' "

Rickson Gracie.One if the best of all-time.
this man is a living legend and his new book is filled with wisdom, read in 3 days
I just want to say thank you to Tom, Lisa and all the people on this amazing show. I love listening to every guests story and taking aspects and applying them to my life. Thank you all for sharing.
Same here ♥️ I’ve learnt a lot from them.
@@shelby3755 ❤
I been in Jiu Jitsu for a few years now. He's an absolute legend i love this!
Yessss!! So happy Tom interviewed an important figure in jiu jitsu. There’s so much to learn from him and from the sport in general
I have followed Rickson since 1993 and I can say that he is a role model and superb martial artist. I don't think he ever lost a fight. A true Master in every way.
He never lost because he never fought any good opponents.He did lose a sambo match by throw in the early 90s however.
@@scarred10 have you fought ever? 450 matches and they were all no good??? Even if you compete against 5 guys ever, I guarantee you’ll have at least one out five that are good opponents.
@@Chromedome053 rickson has had 11 fights,the rest were grappling matches and the vast majority just sparring sessions with students,that's what makes up the 450.And yes,none of these 11 were elite mma fighters,that's why rickson fought them but the money was better in Japan.
Life has a tendency to provide a person with what they need in order to grow. Our beliefs, what we value in life, provide the roadmap for the type of life that we experience. 🔥
Tom, this was one of your best interviews ever. "His" life lessons are lessons that everyone can learn and especially those that are in business.
Him not quitting in those situations where his life could have ended is amazing. Him going home and being rolled up in the carpet so he would know how to deal with certain situations in competition was a learning lesson for me.
Thank you for such a great guest & interview!
The best interview ever. Amazing guy. Rickson the legend. Watched him when I was a kid. Grande campeao.👍
This was probably one of my fav , I was listening to the podcast and so intrigued to see his facial expressions. What an honorable man
I bought the book at Amazon and it is already a #1 beat seller 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻💖🌹
The fighter he’s talking about is called Zulu, a self made fighter, nobody taught him how to fight. He is living in poverty since years. He needs recognition, and help out of extreme poverty, please to the Gracies to help him!!
Hes one class act this man,and now i have a new outlook on life and how to handle stressful situations the world flings at me.just loved this.what a legend and man
One of the greatest men to ever live. RICKSON
Wow, over 450 fights and undefeated. Don’t mess. Another great interview!
You must be joking.he had 11 fights against useless opponents,the rest were bjj matches and just practice.Hes an incredible grappler and I even was at several of his seninars but im not impressed with his nonsense record or the example he set.
@@scarred10 what have you done ?
@@MrSmitht04 not lied about a fight record.If he just told the truth I woukd have no issue with him was an incredible talent on the mat.I was never the president of a country but know donald trump is a pure liar also.
@@scarred10 read his book. Most or this stuff others have said about him. He just went along with whatever. Rickson had more unsanctioned fights than anything.
@MrSmitht04 he had virtually no unsanctioned fights, that record includes sparring with students and seminar sparring.Street fights against untrained people are not a fight record eitherway.
The speed of his ability to strategize and clarity on his purpose is amazing.
Rickson was my Jiu Jutsu teacher up until Rockson passed away. Best JiuJitsu teacher of all time. Incredible man 👨. Very kind person. When he would come into the JiuJitsu school ~ Rickson would shake hands 🙌 with the first person he seen then work his way around the room shaking everyone 🤚. Made you feel like 👍🏻 you was his family. His JiuJitsu was second to none. He was the best. Glad to share time and space with the man on the JiuJitsu Matt. Learned more about life from him. Miss Rickson Gracie a lot. In fact I miss him everyday! God Bless Rickson Gracie and his family!
Rockson Gracie was un~believable at the age of 16 years ~ I watched him go through MMA fighters like 👍🏻 a hot knife through butter 🧈 . I have nothing but blessed memories of the master Rickson Gracie and his family. I used to travel 2 hours on Saturday to watch him teach his children in private classes at his Pacific palisades school. I learned Gracie JiuJitsu from the best. God bless Rickson Gracie and his family.
One of the most special persons that I have ever met in my life was Rickson Gracie. great interview.
What an extraordinary Man. Being 68 and after having read so many books, watching so many motivational videos and more. I have leaned so much more from this Wonderful Man : Thank You Rickson and Tom for this wonderful interview.
I cannot express how personal this interview felt to me. Amazing! I'll watch this multiple times over the years.
Very Inspiring man in Jiu-jitsu and his values in life. God bless you 🙏 Rickson and thank you for everything! And many thanks to Tony for the great interview 👍
I'm happy to see Rickson in a good place in his mind and heart. I was concerned for him since the departure of Rockson.
This interview needs more hits. This guy is an absolute legend in the MMA world.
what a legend! So much stories and experiences, ups and downs. Beautiful life resume. Seen this great interview i see how blessed i was to be born in Brazil and find this knowledge when i was 15 years old. Helped me to keep the samurai track, with respect, passion and dedication. keeping the bullies away with just my vibration,. If you have a son or daughter, thats the sport. Just find a mindfull teacher. And Jesus as the spiritual master!
How can there be ANY downvotes? Such a great guest and a great interview from Tom. Better than I would have expected from Tom, and I expect always a great interview. Someone mentioned one of the most prestigious guests ever here - I agree.
they the ones that lost against him
He's an icon of my Youth when Jiu-jitsu was My Life. Those were some of the best days of my life and I will always cherish those memories. Shout out to "Limao" my master at that time! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!
Hahaha. Limao! “Fuuckkk bro” was all he would say. Did you train in the palisades or West LA?
We love master Rickson, thank you... for everything.
This man understands martial arts as it was intended and how it applies to life!
This is real gold!!!
Thank you for your wisdom Rickson Gracie!!!!🙏🙏🙏
To be happy is to represent your family... i love that!
At the mention of his book I stopped and binged it. Wow. What a life. ❤️❤️❤️ This is my focus.
This is the best martial arts interview in the history of martial arts interviews.
Literally the greatest fighter of all time. The way the world is now and going forward, we will never have another opportunity for someone to match his greatest or exceed it.
WOW...This is a man is on a whole other level of humanity. Thank you for the content.
He’s almost on the same level as Trump😂😂😂
Thank you! Tom thank you for bringing such incredible person! Thank you for providing all the important information such as the book name and where to connect with this incredible, amazing wise man❤
Rickson is such an amazing legendary warrior
Great interview Tom! It is wonderful to see you being interviewed here Rickson Gracie. Legend! What you said about feeling yourself deeply. The direct connection between the brain and the heart is fascinating. It it such a gift yet a powerful tool that you have mastered. Amazing. My uncle was Jujitsu world champion many moons ago - Paul Lloyd -Davies. Do you remember him? I remember him breaking a brick in half when I was six, at the dinner table. ;.P. Look after yourself. May you continue to be blessed.
Rickson Gracie had me enlightened excellent you don’t get this in school. If children had people like this we wouldn’t have suicide. “Lungs are connected to heart and mind”.
Incredible person reading this, you have everything there is to succeed in life, whatever that is for you. Go after the life you truly want NOW! ✨
I believe in you! Love - Nat ❤️
Seems you should have a motivational channel Nathalie 🙂
@@frankiecutlass7155 Something like that! Thank you for noticing, Frankie 😃
@@NathalieLazo i did notice and subbed to your channel. Im going through a career change at the moment and enrolled in school as I lost my job due to covid this year as a manager at a car dealership. There have been many obstacles in front of me and im getting discouraged now. I will watch some of your vids today 🙂
@@frankiecutlass7155 Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the family! Have helped many people have many breakthroughs after having challenging seasons in their lives which is why I started this channel; hope it serves you just as well! :) Thank you for watching and comment your biggest takeaways! You got this, Frankie! Keep me posted on how it's going for you and let me know how to best serve you! :)
@@NathalieLazo Thank you Nathalie and I will keep you posted. Today yet another challenge as the school enrolled me for the wrong program and the start times everyday are different than what we agreed upon 😑
This is as real as it gets.Rare example of true man and true athlete.
Rickson Gracie is the GOAT FOR REAL FOR REAL!!!!!
What a powerful message. Inspirational, real, motivational. Thank you!
So much respect for you man, I dont know how I would manage being here withouth my son #Respect
I'm so sorry for his loss. Nobody should ever go through loosing their child. This is simply not how it's supposed to be😢
SUCH WISE WORDS, HE SAID SO MUCH MORE BETWEEN THE LINES, WE NEED MORE INSTRUCTORS LIKE THAT IN THE WORLD, OSU SENSEI RICKSON, ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPLANASHION OF BUSHIDO MINDSET , OSU
Literally a Legend. Very, very few people on his level.
I think most people can't really grasp how self controlled that guy is! He is in a higher level than most of us.
I love this interview. I learned so much from it since I like MMA. So I realize that Win Huf is not the creator of cold baths and breathing exercises. It is the man, Mr. Gracie. Amazing!
Thank you Tom for another great episode with the LEGEND Rikson
BJJ changed my life. It is arena of humility and constant growth. That and surfing. Those two hobbies have been phenomenal vehicles to challenge, growth and confidence. If you’re a cocky person or full of yourself, see how long that lasts on the mats or in the ocean.
Amazing you can connect with his warrior spirit even from just listening to him talk_thank you for bringing an amazing guest!!🤩🙏🏾
I love the variety of your guests. I would have never thought to see a MMA fighter on here. I am a huge MMA fan and have been watching UFC since the early days when Royce was submitting everyone.
Rickson is alot more than just a "mma fighter"
A true stoic! To quote Marcus Aurelius "Be here and be here well!"
I think he is your best guest ever, I like the way he speaks his story that was a huge lesson thanks
Goggins then Gracie.
The most important aspect of ypur talks is that you iask the right queation in the way that it can bring out from the speakers' experiences facts( hidden in his/her memories). Its better than reading a book in some way. Thanks for that.
Damn the GOAT just got even greater. He shows such strength in showing his vulnerability. Another layer to this true samurai. Loved his book couldn't put it down. Thank you for this.
He is a True Martial artist !! Respect 100% !!!
Second time watching this... I now read the book. I was in tears reading this in some places. I still look forward to meeting this man. (Although I must confess I would probably start crying :D :) )
I've trained with several world champions and I mean the best of the best some 60lbs heavier than me and he was able to escape everything I tried and him being in his 60's. He is a what a true martial artists should strive to be.
Man, this guy has a true spiritual martial arts arch. For those who know *Musashi* they will see in Rickson the evolution *from Jitsu to Do*
The Gracies are great people. I've met Rickson and trained with his brothers and cousins.
They are highly recommended
The MAN , Myth, THE LEGEND !!!!!
Tom Bilyeu and Rickson Gracie?? This is a dream come true!
These are incredible for when im trying to stay focused. Even when im super invested i can tend to drift off in my mind. But this is great to Keep any dostractions at a distance. I wouldve got so much done if i had this method. But i can still get stuff done and really appreciate it.
I have to say! When he has a chance to speak he does it on his terms and slows down to get his message across. Its subtle but powerful. ❤
"And I notice my worst enemy at this point was my own mind, playing tricks on me. It tell me I don't have enough, tell me I tired, tell me I gonna lost --
So my mind was COMPLETELY against my purpose. And I felt like I could not let this happen, EVER. So after that fight I make a statement in my spiritual and my mind; I said 'I'm not going to quit anymore. I prefer to die than think I have to quit.' "
