- In this video from BloodyElbow.com, action movie star Chuck Norris talks about the trip to Brazil where he first trained with Helio, Rickson and Rorion Gracie.
Mr Norris not only has great skill, but huge humility. Respect this great ambassador for martial arts
And now Chuck has learnt additional skills but the Gracies continue to be where they are... the difference between humility and arrogance!
Real martial arts teach humility, not this fucked up shit by Dana White.
hes stupid and lier
Notice that the real ones are humble, the fake ones are not.
I first saw Mr. Norris in 1967 in NYC, but didn’t meet him until a few years later in Long Beach, CA. I spoke briefly to him and came away with the same opinion, that he was a humble man. Years later, I became close friends with his first Black Belt, who still holds Mr. Norris in the highest regard even though he hasn’t trained with him since 1967.
If he’s been taking lessons from the Gracies for 28 years, he must be insanely good at BJJ.
I believe he's a grand master which is the highest rank you can be. He also holds the most belts in all mma.
@@jeffstuart4424 he doesn’t hold the most belts in mma . Mma wasn’t even around chuck was fighting
He is.
@@anifayyaz5559 your sarcasm alarm isnt working is it?
Wicked good. He finished learning from the Machados
Chuck Norris is awesome for admitting this. Idiots like STeven Seagal would never admit loss he would always brag about being the best at everything.
That's because Jiu-Jitsu makes you humble. You get submitted so many times, that your ego goes away... more or less.
Seagal needs to get choked out.
***** He has been choked out by ronda rousays former coach.
O Soskic Yeah, Gene Lebell. Ronda calls him Uncle Gene. He said he choked out Seagal and made him poop is pants, but Seagal denies it to this day.
yeah but Chuck was a real martial artist so he has respect for fighters and Steven Segul is a phony so he will never show respect to anyone.
He did get choked out... According to Joe Rogan Judo Gene Lebell choked him out like a bitch and made Seagal shit his pants...
You have to admire his humility. He doesn't mind stating, without any affect, being overcome by other martial artists. That's a true master; the willingness to keep learning with an open mind, when already a master in his own right.
I always admire chuck norris. he loves martial arts and really went out looking for techniques that worked. also people need to remember that these were the days way before ufc and rules so some of these fights were far more violent and lasted far longer than what we are used to. people always tell me "a real fight is over in moments" and in most cases thats true but when 2 warriors are highly trained it is not impossible for a fight to go for an hour (most people do not believe that but its true). our school (carnicella mma) is run by edson carvalhos top student and edsons street fight with wallid ismail was more than a half an hour and ended with wallid in the hospital. these were not times when you just went around bragging about who you could beat without someone knocking on your door looking to kick your ass.
i love the respect Mr Norris has when referring to Mr Gracie.
Gareth Thomas he is a true class act
"Mr. Gracie, I'm not gonna punch you." LOL I love how politely he says that.
Interesting to know that a person like C. Norris is humble to know what he lacks. It says A LOT of his personality. Right on Norris! Not to mention, it also has to do w/ the instructor. Right on Gracie!
+Phill B Sadly this is how real martial artists are. No arrogance, simply wanting to learn more and more. I got my black belt in BJJ, transitioned in to more and more areas of martial arts. And got quite good, have had a few amateur fights just to see how it feels like compared to a street fight. But I would never brag about my experience. Sadly alot of teens of today arent like that.
You're right on the teens, hence I enjoy seeing videos where bullies get their ass handed to them. Ha!
***** Wrong, also very ignorant reply. A true martial artist will not use their fighting abillity if they dont have to. Basicly avoid fights because you know you can damage someone whos untrained very easily.
I think you miss read what I wrote: it's inspiring to know that a combatant (i.e.: C Norris) is humble enough to recognize that dominating a single martial art discipline is not enough.
He's humble to the point that it is mandatory for any student in his system to get their blue belt in jiu jitsu before getting their black in his style.
“And it was like I’d never had a lesson in my life...” humbling
Chuck Norris seems like a very humble guy. I didn't realize he had been affiliated with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for so long.
yea many people in martial arts who had money and were able to seek out different styles knew who the gracies were. chuck norris and dan inosonto are students of bjj (I think dan actually teaches bjj classes as well as his jkd). benny the jet and gene lebell were in talks to fight the gracies but it didnt pan out (I read different stories of why so I guess its a case of 3 sides, your side, his side and the truth, but we will never really know the truth. I do know that gene was not close in age to helios sons so it would not really be fair for gene to be fighting such young men. I know two local new york martial artists who did fly down to see what the gracies were doing and they came back and said it was very effective stuff, this was before ufc. and of course after the first ufc everyone in my area was scrambling to find schools to learn bjj (people were even begging blue belts to teach them at the time). at the end of the day what the gracies were doing proved itself and when something works and your a fighter, you learn it and add it to your skill. I am sure people like gene and gokor saw the first ufc and said "I see what he did" while many stand up fighters who had very little take down defense at the time were probably in the dark about it.
epics7 True, I saw that video of Jim Kelly. They trained out of a garage somewhere in L.A.
Good Times
your good but YOUR NOT THAT GOOD , POINTS NO GET IN THE RING FULL CONTACT WITH THE MAUY THAI YUP YUP
01huntered chuck
Hey Chuck
Chuck Norris I have been training in bjj my instructors know the Gracie's and I have done a seminar with relson Gracie
Respect to you, Sir. 😊🙏
I don't care what people say Chuck Norris is a great Champion and very humble
this dude is just a legend in every way
"He could have rested on his laurels..." says it all.
And he is a good person first and foremost, humble and giving credit to all who have been good to him.
"I can make you a great jiu jitsu... person..."
This is a pretty cool story but that part made me CHUCKle (pls excuse the pun pls. thx)
Respect for them all. Wanting to be better, always wanting to learn.
Great human spirit.
That's quite a statement coming from a world champion. Classy and humble !
Wow. What an amazing life Chuck has led. The beauty is he damn well knows it too, and appreciates it.
He rolled with two grandmasters....
3 , rorion too , and soon the machados too haha , lucky guy
Kal L
2GlandMasters AND Christy Brinkley
lol
He rolled with Helio and Rickson, he trained with Bruce Lee, it's unbelievable
Don't you mean the earth rolled around them?
Real class act. I like Chuck Norris, grew up watching some of his movies.
Michaelson Sarmiento I agree, "A Real Class Act", is the best description of Chuck Norris! He is a nice guy, he is humble, he is nice to the Average Joe and he really is a great martial artist. Sluggo
sluggotg
It's too bad there are no more action stars like Chuck today. Most stars today do it for the money not like this real American hero.
Michaelson Sarmiento I was in the Navy back in the early 80's to the early 90's. A couple of my Navy friends were in a bar when Chuck came in... He had a few friends and body guards, (People tend to attack famous Action Stars). They asked if Chuck would have a few beers with my Navy Friends. Chuck immediately said yes! Why... Because he did a stint in the Air Force. (Despite what popular press tries to portray, The Military Branches will Razz each other... because that is part of the Military, but if you Pick a Fight with any branch of the Military you will find out we all back up each other reguardless of the branch.) My Navy friends had free beers for the night because Chuck Norris let them sit with him and shoot the breeze with him for the night... and of course Chuck bought all the beers! That is the kind of guy Chuck is and that is one of the many reasons he is my hero!Sluggo
Greg Hensley wow a free lunch from the king.
Greg Hensley Awesome. He was also very popular in the Philippines back in the 80's and early 90's during his prime. He was a global icon back then.
Mr. Chuck Norris is such a great person.
I literally love Chuck Norris. Just seems like a solid guy!
immediately when he says he started jiu jitsu in rio de janeiro hes og status
Chuck is cool, it's nice to see someone humble and willing to learn new things.
Chuck Norris arm bared Rickson Gracie using his neck.
either way... tapout
I really like this guy. Genuinely a nice guy.
This is why he's a martial artist. He's open minded, humble, and willing to learn; even at his level. He actually spars with others outside his gym and seeks the challenge to legitimize his martial art or make himself a better fighter.
Chuck is such a humble guy! After this interview I just became more of a fan of him.
1:30 Rickson gracie came from behind with the choke 😂💀
Chuck really comes across as a lovely guy here.
I met Chuck Norris when I was 8 years old.. good guy.
thanks Mr. Norris...for a great interview on BJJ and the Gracies
bbj?? blow job job??? thats prostitution ?
very humble experience im sure, we all can learn from the whole spectrum of martial arts as they all have something to offer!
Chuck Norris has always been on the prowl to learn as much about all martial art forms as he could. I’m sure the Gracie’s learned much from all of his martial arts forms as well.
Chuck Norris is one of the true greats in martial arts ! He could have rested on his laurels but instead he has kept an open mind and continues to be enthusiastic and learn new skills to this day.
i didnt expect chuck norris to be humble like that, and to have practiced jiu jitsu for 28 years beside his acting career, respect mr ! and good luck for your next projects
love chuck. true martial artist.
The ultimate mixed martial artist.. Gotta love the humility and willingness to learn from Chuck Norris. Awesome stuff!
always had time and respect for Mr Norris, really enjoyed his films in the 80's
The humbleness of a real master. Oss!!!
That was super humble and well presented.
Chuck is a black belt in BJJ, Judo, Kyokushin Karate and has trained many other styles. He is a gentleman and a fighter.
It is said that Steven Seagal also visited the Gracie JJ Dojo, and taught Helio gracie some secret moves..
I heard that Steven Seagal was the original gracie
Some English maybe
I love the way Chuck says "the martial arts".
I can't believe this guy is over 70... he is amazing
Chuck Norris & The Gracie Family... That's just blow your mind epicness
I have always been a huge fan of Chuck Norris I love his movies his moves watching him fight and just being an all around nice guy, I have followed him for a long time. keep up the good work chuck
Good humble dude. Got to meet him in the 90's. Nice to hear he's training BJJ.
Chuck is a true martial Artist..
Such an awesome and humble dude. Walker Texas Ranger himself!
Really cool interview. Chuck seems like a cool guy.
Chuck Norris, what an awesome human being.
The Legend Chuck Norris Talks About Jiu Jitsu
In this interview Chuck Norris relates the story of the first time he met and trained with the legendary Gracie family in Brazil. Chuck describes grappling with Royce, Rickson and Helio Gracie~ in Rio
It's people like chuck norris, danny inosonto, beny the jet, ed parker, royce gracie, sijo emperado, ron van clief and others that we can gladly admire for there contributions to the martial art world. It is the founders of style's and the master of masters that really stay strong even when these men die we remember them in are hearts.
Bruce Lee taught against styles. Learn everything. Take in what is useful and discard what is not. Come up with your own fighting technique suited for your own body.
Don Kim That makes a lot of sense. We do the same in the dance world. I used to dance ballet, jazz, Latin American, belly dancing, modern and contemporary. It made me a better dancer.
Don Kim body n mind
Don Kim still helps to learn from people with styles though, tells you specifically what they are good at
Joseph Kennedy Eddy Bravo too. His 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is powerful
Mr Norris is such a humble person
Chucks awesome.... and cool he's giving honest respect. For the guy who said Bruce Lee could beat up anyone. I realize you're a huge Bruce Lee fan. I love Bruce too. But really, Bruce respected Chuck very much, and never really wanted to go at it full go with him.
Proof to back this up?
oh cammon, Bruce would killed him, i don't hate Chuk, i'm saying this cause it's a fact. Bruce was faster, he had better technique, i mean , compare just the movements, when you watch that gracie in the moves, everything looks so easy, when you watch Bruce Lee ! Sorry for my bad engkish...
+smoothkiller777 No way you can say who would have won if they had fought because outside of film they never really fought. One thing is for sure, Chuck Norris proved himself as a competitor winning many competitions and championships if I'm not mistaken. Bruce Lee didn't compete, he showed off for the camera but the only way to prove you can really fight is to compete where the moves aren't all choreographed ahead of time. I think your opinion is biased because you are probably Chinese or at the least East Asian in heritage. Looking at it objectively, Norris proved himself in fight after fight and Lee did not have anywhere near the actual experience of Norris to prove himself with.
+Poppa Poppy You are right. Chuck Norris was the Professional Karate World Champion (Middleweight) for 6 STRAIGHT years. No one could touch him. Even Bruce Lee went to MSG to see Chuck fight. That's how Bruce and Chuck met (in NYC, when Bruce was starring in "The Green Hornet" around the same time), and they became very close friends, and trained together for about 3 yrs.
It's so stupid when some ppl get SO ornery about a "Chuck Norris vs Bruce Lee" match, because the truth is, both were/are ultimate bad asses. That said, Chuck was VERY accomplished, no question.
Mike S chuk can't be compared with Bruce, cause bruce was complete fighter,he was so smooth,easy movements,kicks , punches extremely fast ! Chuk was just simple black belt champion ! Look his kicking technique it's look's just , i dont know like , he cannot do even split , and he was to slow !
I forgot the name of the movie, but Chuck utilizes JuJitsu in the final fight scene with a monstrous villian. I will never forget because I had never seen him fight that way. He was quick to give the Gracies a lot of credit for working with him.
Great story! Chuck Norris is such a nice guy!
Chuck seems like the Bob Ross of Martial Arts, he has that type of personality.
Succinct.
Besides all the meme about him, it's insane how much complete he is as a martial artist.
Legend respecting legends
I received my advance bgreen belt from chuck Norris personally but as a very young teen... BRUCE LEE was my idol. Though only a film star and philosopher, he is a true legend of martial arts..
Chuck norris... what a humble gentlemen and a championship!
Amazing story! Thank you Chuck!
I can make you a great Jiujitsu... person.
So technical
he's so sweet and humble i really don't want to laugh but i am
He stopped him self from saying assassin 😅
Finally, some Chuck worth the salt...
TY for sharing.
The Machado Brothers are AMAZING Jiu-Jitsu fighters… absolute legends of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
Norris is a gentleman here-humble. He was amazing in karate and kickboxing too. Couple that with judo and BJJ and you have a badass
Chuck is my idol.
Chuck Norris went .0000001% effort when grappling with Helio. If he went all out, there wouldn't be any Jiu Jitsu now. But seriously, he's a true master- humble in accepting knowledge. I was just wondering why the gym didn't explode with awesomeness that day. :)
Zebedee Mejia my ass
183 wins, 10 losses and 2 draws. was undefeated for 6 years and defended his world title throughout that time
Awesome stuff. Thanks for posting the vid.
Great story. Thank you, Sir
The fact that really matters about Chuck Norris is that he has continuously looked for improving his skills in martial arts. I'm still amazed that Chuck Norris has been one of the first american martial artist to have discovered BJJ by attending at lessons with the Gracie in 1988 and to have invited them to Las Vegas to teach BJJ to his fellow martial artists, five years before UFC1 came out.
Chuck is 73 years old now, but he seems in a great shape. That's impressive.
Damn, that is awesome Chuck. Very lucky man.
Chuck norris has a great love for martial arts.
All my respect ! Great man !
Chuck is awesome
All Class Mr. Norris!
This is why Chuck Noris is Good, he seek strong people to learn from
Respect🙏🙏🙏 Mr Norris!I also read a book by you,where you mentioned about them.
Great ambassador for sport
Chuck a true martial artist, will learn from people and doesn't think he's a know it all.
Chuck is finally humble enough to know he wasn’t “ The “ authority .
Chuck, you still look like ever 👍 never aging
Chuck Norris is a legend
Chuck is the man
gotta love chuck norris
underneath the vid,it says he trained with rorion in brazil,thats my point.Also,rickson was more than family champ,he won every comp he ever entered in brazil,he was national champ.Nobody could be stupid enough to think that an art only practised in a single nation could have a world championship,it was a deliberate bit of exaggeration
Chuck speaking like a real OG.
Chuck Norris doesn't need training when you're a natural badass..
If Chuck Norris---Says some good things about you, you are in!!!
Cool that he was open minded enough to study whatever worked or interested him.
Respect right there Chuck like a true martial artist.... no shame in getting choked out by the legendary Helio Gracie and Rickson. Chuck the only Legendary Sannin left whos trained / sparred Bruce Lee and Helio Gracie and lives to tell about it.
Actually, he didn't say he'd been training with Rorion in Brazil, but exactly in L.A. when he returned to US. In Brazil he trained with Rickson, Royce and Helio.
About Rickson being the world champion, you are actually right about that. But he was the family champion, so probably Norris mixed things up.
He is just being nice about the Gracies. It is impossible to beat Chuck Norris. I know it, he knows it - everyone knows it.
Bruce Lee kicked his ass :)
ha ha ha - impossible! Just look at Chuck Norris' beard.
sidesplitters
watch th e movie ;)
(with respect) michael T
He was OBVIOUSLY taking it easy... being polite, etc.
He was using a deep meditation form of defence against choke...
See this is why Chuck Norris is so strong
All joking aside, Chuck Norris is a legit badass.
I wish I could get martial art classes from Chuck
Chuck Norris provou que é im cara humilde
Not to hate on anyone, but they shouldn't put people to sleep in their first class, no matter who they are. These guys know exactly what they're doing, they're just being mean. Chuck wasn't there for a challenge, he went there to learn. Plus, he's such a nice and humble guy, no reason to do that to him.
That's their way to prove that it works
Very rude way with a special guest like Norris. Leave that for competition and challenges.
I mean, they treat everyone as equal, that's a thing that makes them special... No matter who you are you are getting chocked, besides, it was a choke, is not like it was an armlock where it could end up in a serious injury. At least that's what I think
you don't think choking someone unconscious is dangerous?
True, but accidents do happen. I once choked out a guy trying to teach me how to do a triangle choke correctly (funny shit). Maybe they overestimated his resistance to the technique. I mean he is Chuck fucking Norris. Could be they went that hard out of respect.
