#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Because, you know, he's attacking you.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

The one thing is if he's not trying to submit you, but the other one if it is.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Let's say it's a person who's very good, has a very good attack.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

The first thing is defense, not just escape.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

And expose yourself to an even worse position.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Because that is very risky.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

When you're trying to escape, you'll always expose yourself to a worse position.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

So avoiding that, first is defense, not getting caught.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

And then when you're escaping...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Don't be in a worse position than you are.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

It's everything together because it's a whole body movement.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

It's constantly moving your arms, legs, body.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

They have to... Everything works together.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Yes.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Like I say, I'm not going to say I'm fearless.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Of course, there's concerns.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

That fight, I would have to say, was probably the fight that I got nervous the most walking in because I knew what that meant, that fight.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

It meant everything for me.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

All my legacy was on the line because if I had lost that fight, forever I would be number two.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#343 โ€“ Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time

Yeah.
