I’ve been taking Brazilian jiu-jitsu for the past year and it has been life-changing. And I am not the only one who thinks this. I read about sportsmen who won at the European championship and discover that they trained in a club which have powerful sponsor, famous Biotexcom center. So I decided to try train with them. And I felt in love with this sport. I notice that a lot of people who dedicate a huge portion of their time to the two martial arts find it rather meditative and life-changing. Thus I believe that jiu-jitsu is made to be lifetime sports. The benefits of doing this martial art go far beyond knowing how to protect yourself. I truly believe it is legitimate vehicles for positive change in our lives. Another thing I love about the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu is the way people transform after training and it doesn’t take that long. Physically, many lose weight, tone up, become more flexible, and as a result have more energy. Personally I become much happier, and become more confident. And actually learned how to defend myself!

For those not in the know, the Gracie Combat System has been teaching people to defend themselves in real-world situations for decades. The Gracie family is truly the first family of Brazilian jiu-jitsu (especially in the United states) and their methods have been proven effective from the streets, to championship-level prize fighting. At this point there is no debate, it is a prove, effective system. It's a great tool for anyone to use, and from what I see, Forged Fitness is a great place to get your rolls in!

Best to learn the basics and then ask instructor to train you in more street effective methods.
toseeornot2see kk thank you for the response
did you teach how to block punch??
Um...not so far. I guess...That's more boxing than BJJ, but I can see what you mean from a self defense perspective.
Spot freaking on. Beautiful video
I remember watching Royce Gracie as a kid. I've always dreamed of learning the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu , even to this day. you guys are doing an amazing job, please keep it up. You have no idea the impact you're having on the world today. it would be a dream come true to train with the Gracie family.
So, find a club and train bro. its a good time. #hangloose
Well done. I just started and so much to learn but I will hang in there. I joined Precision Boxing and MMA in Pok NY Great place with equally great instructors that put safety first .
Did my first class today! i am hooked and very excited 😁
Coming here has made me more humble. I’ve been here for about 3 months, I get beat but it’s ok, it’s part of the process. My goal is to be in law enforcement someday, and I am more than happy to be learning BJJ here. I will keep going and see where it takes me.
Mr. Royce Gracie is a Superman he changed the World of Martial Arts🏅🏆
i was at a Royce Gracie seminar last Thursday. He was a nice guy and had a good teaching style ; two closed guard passes and some sucker punch defence work. Basic stuff, but full of small.details.
I have my first class on Tuesday... this video is getting me pumped up! 🤗
Are you still doing Jiu-Jitsu
Jitz Life are you still waiting for a reply?
Really well done... nice job guys...
Love Royce one of my hero's
Excellent video and message 👍👍👍
I love it!. I'm looking forward to learning form the best
I'm 102 and still loving it.
Jiu-Jitsu saved my life 🙏obrigado
awesome God bless you amen
This is awesome🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been taking Brazilian jiu-jitsu for the past year and it has been life-changing. And I am not the only one who thinks this. I read about sportsmen who won at the European championship and discover that they trained in a club which have powerful sponsor, famous Biotexcom center. So I decided to try train with them. And I felt in love with this sport. I notice that a lot of people who dedicate a huge portion of their time to the two martial arts find it rather meditative and life-changing. Thus I believe that jiu-jitsu is made to be lifetime sports. The benefits of doing this martial art go far beyond knowing how to protect yourself. I truly believe it is legitimate vehicles for positive change in our lives. Another thing I love about the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu is the way people transform after training and it doesn’t take that long. Physically, many lose weight, tone up, become more flexible, and as a result have more energy. Personally I become much happier, and become more confident. And actually learned how to defend myself!
I did bjj for awhile, I was 28, fit, training for a boxing match, rolled with a blind man 👨🦯 totally blind. He judo tossed me and I couldn’t get him off! 🤣 He was like a super hero. I’m looking to get back into it definitely. Mostly for confidence.
He said start now. Great advice
"Well, start now!"
That’s what I’m looking for n to do after this lockdown 💯👍🏾 Osss
Royce - back in the first few UFC's was the real deal BEAST.
I know it's late, but I'm seeing this just now. Well done folks!
CapitalMMA most of people I roll w are doctor
Super respect Royce is a living ledgend
Great Points!!
The last Royce comment was SO SO TRUE
Not paying your taxes will also change your life.
What made you say that? Did he get caught not paying taxes?
@@danh9473 They apperantly hid a lot of money from the IRS
I really love the environment of jiu jitsu. It’s so humble. But sometimes I like to get a cocky arrogant guy because it pushes me to want to get even better
Started at 46 and now 48 and almost 2 years in. Love it.
I miss training at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy. I still remember and use the techniques Royce taught me to this day. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to train him again.
I started about month ago changed my life I will never stop
EXCELLENT FOR MY SON IN THE MILITARY
17 years strong... still at it.....every single day!
Great video
So happy I found Jiu-Jitsu
Im 15 years old and I have started Mixed Martial Arts but I know people have started younger than me like maybe even 8 or 5 but I hope hard work and determination could get me into the UFC well see...
Respect...✊
Amazing video
Time flies so fast
Royce handed me my bluebelt back in the 90's. Nothing else keeps you in shape like bjj...
MITSUYO MAEDA was the Japanese who taught the Gracie and it was Judo + American wrestling.
Don't say shit, it's brazilian martial art tho....
When Royce ends it with “…we’ll start now”. I was like. “Ok,!” Starting next month too. Gracie school in Singapore. Can’t wait.
I started when I was 48 best thing I've ever done . Anthony Bebington bjj Liverpool UK
He is my coach’s master I love this guy
For those not in the know, the Gracie Combat System has been teaching people to defend themselves in real-world situations for decades. The Gracie family is truly the first family of Brazilian jiu-jitsu (especially in the United states) and their methods have been proven effective from the streets, to championship-level prize fighting. At this point there is no debate, it is a prove, effective system. It's a great tool for anyone to use, and from what I see, Forged Fitness is a great place to get your rolls in!
Going to my first class tomorrow- wish me luck!
Fuck how was it? Fucking sucks if u liked it, only had 1 lesson and had to stop cuz of covid lol.
I’m going in a week how is it
Caine Patterson Very intense, will test you both physically and mentally, but it’s so rewarding
Its not worth it
Trey Cantu sorry for the late reply. Yep I’m still going. Progress a bit slow as I’m cross training with Muay Thai, but looking forward to continuing this year
Will be signing up for first BJJ class at 21 years old and pretty nervous. Anyone have any advice?
gotta be honest- before i seen royce in the first ufc i never thought anything of jiu-jitsu and judo. then i seen a dude exactly my same size and build submitting dudes like ken shamrock, brick shit houses, big guys, just making them tap out and i was sold immediately. i was in awe. just knowing the absolute basics of bjj will give tremendous advantage over anyone not trained who is just a plain asshole. back in the day before the gracie schools and academies we just watched royce's fights and picked up all we could from that. be amazed on how much that little bit went.
I love u Royce
I have had a broken neck, and 2 back surgeries, leg, foot, ankle and knee surgery. I am almost 50 years old, and not flexible at all. I want to start Jiu Jitsu so bad, but I am afraid I will really hurt myself.
Same as many, many other martial arts. Now if you're looking to be a complete fighter (or just martial artist), sure, you need to be able to roll as well. O-ver-ra-ted.
Starting month 5 over here in Japan. Still nervous before class! Does that go away? :)
mike harvey how good are you?....like would you be able to defend yourself in a street fight using ju jitsu?.... just curious because I plan on starting soon
I first sarted 20 years ago before coming to Japan. I also have wresling and karate experience. How good am I? Can I fight? jeez...I've been in about 12 street/bar fights in that time, but there are no guarantees. I can say, if you train fairly regularly for say, 6-9 months, with striking sometimes, you will improve your odds of surviving against a a guy who doesn't know what's going on dramatically. My worst nightmare would be getting into a street fight against somebody who was angry at me and had better Jitsu.
Mike, Kron Gracie said you were looking at his girlfriend...
2:54 is all I could think about, why didn't he dive under the arm and go to th back. But the video is also very true. BJJ has made me so much more confident and happy, and I have had such a great time learning it.
Right?! Its like moving meditation, you have to clear your mind in order to be able to roll well. I've been doing jiu-jitsu for just over 5yrs now and I cant get enough of it!
A name truly worthy of the history books
This has always been my dream
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu saved my life. I am so thankful.
How?
This is no B.S. I'm sold. Kenpo/Kempo Karate is Chinese based, but modified to be a bit more street friendly, Ed Parker Kenpo, Mitose Kempo, American/Hawaiian Kenpo) *Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu* Krav Maga & Aiki-Jitsu is the same way, don't focus on the details, all martial arts are beneficial, start with one that feels right & offers you real confidence in your true abilities.
All martial arts can improve peoples lives in one way or another.
Can't wait to join
I've done 2 classes of BJJ now and the confidence outside of the gym is starting to show but inside of the gym and outside is "I'm not petfect, not yet" I wish I had found this when I was being picked on as a kid
*inside and outside of the gym my motto is
The things they said in this video seem pretty universal to martial arts in general. You just have to find the right dojo/gym.
How much is a month there cost?
I have huge respect for Royce, he has been a great source of inspiration, a real Hero, but saying that "are you ready" is not real martial art..well back in the days i remember when Matt Hughes was breaking his arm and he had to tap (or snap) in that "sport"
I am 121-years-old and I just started jiu-jitsu yesterday and I am already owning everybody. Hopefully, I will get to that black belt in about 10 years or so.
I'd love to learn this art, and Filipino knife defense
I do both and I love it
I'll start as soon as I can.
Essa ideia do Royce " jiu jitsu foi feito para defesa pessoal" "arte marcial não foi feita para marcar ponto" é outro nivel do sistema
Ive been injured for a while...i miss training immensely
I need to Join Gracie Jiu-Jitsu....like tomorrow.
Casey Brown Did u??
@@theengineer704 dont Dream About miracles, is only Marketing !!!
Have you finally started 😃
Its a scam
Life is more about chess then physical combat which is the by-product of chess playing (mind games). War is the by-product of wealthy men and countries playing a game chess against each other.
I started 1 month ago andd.....still confused with all the moves.. but i loved it
Wow. It's been 6 months now for me haha

Open it in Carbondale, Illinois!
Cebu, Philippines jiu-jitsu location please
Viva Gracie Jiu Jitsu
i've read the bjj as s sport is terrific. but for actual street defense, it's not as effective. Is that true?
I know this was posted over s year ago but I thought I'd ask my question anyway. I have two have questions. One, I am 16 and 20 pounds overweight is that a problem? Second, Are there certain times to join or can I join whenever? I'm sorry if i didn't explain my questions right.
You can join anytime and no it doesn't matter that you're overweight. BJJ will help you lose the weight in the long term
I LOVE jiu jitsu, my BEST friend introduced me to It, and now un struggling with a bad teacher that spends all day on the phone while doing the class, i wish se has better trainers or rules to STOP this behavior in this amazing Life style
Hi would like to noe the background music please thanks
el mejor dice mi papa espero que algun dia llege a PERU
Love bjj but the classic so expensive in Melbourne
The lady is a white belt stripe 4 at belt tying lol Respect, just teasing. :)
