Rickson Gracie

He's just a special character who...

He not only devoted himself fully to jiu-jitsu passionately, he's very passionate about, but he has the coordination and the talents.

Sometimes he spent eight months without going to the sidewalk.

He's spending on the gym, eating, sleeping on the gym, waking up, training, sleep.

without going to the beach, without going to the bar or the nothing.

It's just spent eating on the school.

So it's unbelievable how much passion and dedication.

Yes.

One time I was start to eating, to helping my brother to teach as a dummy for him.

So he put me, lay down Hickson, John Mount.

So I was playing the dummy for the student practice day, whatever they, so I was there and he gave me a little tip in the end of the class for me to buy ice cream, whatever.

So I start to making little money from my brother.

And I got my dad and said, dad, what I should do

to be the best teacher.

He said, if you want to be a good teacher, you learn the choke, you learn the arm lock with precision, with details, and then pass through the student and ask him to get tight here or there.

So give him the details of the technique.

If you want to be an excellent teacher, you have to capture what the student needs to learn.

So with that advice, he gave me the sense, I cannot be just a jujitsu teacher, I had to be a psychologist too.

Because I have to approach a guy who stands insecure in a different way than approach a guy who's just lazy and completely off.

So the whole tone of the class, the whole inspiration, the whole thought process has to be different from one to another.
