Lex Fridman Podcast · #343 – Roger Gracie: Greatest Jiu Jitsu Competitor of All Time · 3 Dec 2022 podcast

The guy, he pulled me in five seconds.

Anyway.

So...

When I was 14, I went to the south of Brazil to see my uncle Hylian to spend summer holidays.

I was there for four weeks, I think.

And when I got there, my cousin Hollis was living with him.

Hollis is bigger than me.

I think he's four years older.

So I was 14.

He was already 18, 17, 18.

Purple belt competitor.

And I think that was the first time in my life that I felt what it meant to be a Gracie in terms of having a school, teaching, training, you know, living that, you know, jiu-jitsu lifestyle, what a Gracie meant to be.

And I've just, I've loved that.

I was out of shape.

My uncle was incentivizing me to lose weight, to train.

But you're not training.

Why?

It's like, you've got a shape.

You need to diet.

So I used to run every day.
