Royce Gracie

If you trained jiu-jitsu his whole life, why would you trade punches on fight night against a striker?

I like guys who know how to implement a strategy. The ones who make a fight look easy. But there's no easy fight, even if you win in 30 seconds, that only means you were able to execute your strategy correctly and induced your opponent to make a mistake. Those are the champions. That's why they are the champions.

Martial arts in general were not made for a tournament, for points system. Martial arts were made to defend yourself in the street fight situation, not to score points.

The greatest tribute you can to pay to my father is to continue to train and share Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, remembering to never lose sight of the fact that what you do off the matt counts more than what you do on the matt.

I believe in pure jiu-jitsu. That's what I've done in the past.

A black belt only covers two inches of your ass. You have to cover the rest.
