Rorion Gracie, a Grand Master in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and co-founder of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) comes back on the Tai Lopez Show! Rorion tells the story of how his family changed Brazilian jiu-jitsu and made it famous. When Rorion was just 16, he left Brazil for America. He worked different jobs and began teaching Brazilian jiu-jitsu in his garage. Rorion shows us that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is more than a sport – it's a way of life. We talk about the "Gracie Diet," a special way of eating his family created (that helps with irritable bowel syndrome). Rorion and I dive into the details of the Gracie Diet. This conversation is not only about martial arts; it's about good eating habits, a healthy lifestyle, and learning from a Jiu-Jitsu Grand Master.

A quick online search reveals articles and photos of Richard alongside Hélio Gracie at UFC1 or training at the original Gracie Academy with notable members of the Gracie clan or the notorious Dirty Dozen (the first Jiu-Jitsu black belts in the United States).

ICHARD BRESLER is widely recognized as the first student of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in the USA. For almost twenty years he worked closely alongside Rorion Gracie, helping to grow Jiu-Jitsu through the Gracie Garages, the Gracie Academy, and the early days of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He was one of the first Americans to earn a teaching certificate through the original Instructor Certification Program at the Gracie Academy, and one of the first Americans to earn a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He still teaches Jiu-Jitsu and practices alternative healing in Los Angeles, California.

We had the absolute pleasure to talk about martial arts, mindset and lifestyle with Ryron Gracie. We hope you enjoy!Ryron Gracie, the eldest grandson of Grand Master Helio Gracie, grew up in a family deeply rooted in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Under the guidance of his father, Rorion Gracie, and his uncles, Ryron witnessed the effectiveness of the art firsthand. In 2003, Ryron and his brother Rener received black belts from their grandfather, recognizing their mastery of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques and teaching methods.Taking on the role of head instructors at Gracie University, Ryron and Rener revitalized the training programs and expanded the reach of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu through online education, seminars, and a network of Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers. Their efforts have met the growing demand for instruction worldwide, preserving the art's effectiveness and simplicity.Gracie University , offering online access to courses, has attracted over 100,000 students from 196 countries. Ryron and Rener continue to promote Gracie Jiu-Jitsu through various media platforms, partnerships, and their own dedication to the art and lifestyle.Embracing a philosophy of constant improvement, both on and off the mat, Ryron and Rener welcome feedback from students who have explored the Gracie University curriculum. They invite individuals to share their comments and experiences with the Gracie Brothers.More information can be found here: https://www.gracieuniversity.com/

Ryron Gracie, filho de Rorion Gracie e neto de Helio Gracie, um cara que sem dúvidas transpira a essência do Jiu Jitsu. Nascido em um ambiente onde esse esporte fluía naturalmente e desde cedo, ele foi imerso nos princípios e técnicas que fizeram da família Gracie uma lenda no esporte. O Jiu Jitsu é mais do que uma simples arte marcial para ele e sua família, é uma filosofia de vida. Ao longo de sua jornada, Ryron dedicou-se a compartilhar seu conhecimento e ensinar o Jiu Jitsu para pessoas de todos os cantos do planeta com sua abordagem única e sua paixão pela arte, que são são visíveis em todas as suas aulas sempre buscando não apenas ensinar técnicas eficazes, mas também transmitir os valores fundamentais que o Jiu Jitsu promove, como humildade, respeito e auto desenvolvimento. Além de ser um professor incrível, Ryron Gracie também é um grande competidor. Ele e seu irmão Rener, ficaram conhecidos entre os entusiastas das artes marciais mistas (MMA) por meio de uma série de vídeos no YouTube chamados: The Gracie Breakdown . Nesses vídeos, os irmãos Gracie detalharam as técnicas de grappling usadas no Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) e no Strikeforce em algumas das lutas mais importantes.. Não sendo um competidor ávido devido à descrença no sistema de pontos aplicado pela maioria das organizações de jiu-jitsu, Ryron optou por exibir suas proezas no grappling competindo principalmente em torneios “somente por finalização”, como o Gracie Worlds e o Metamoris.

RORION GRACIE é empresário e lutador de Jiu-Jitsu. Ele foi um dos responsáveis pela criação do UFC e pela disseminação do Jiu-Jitsu brasileiro pelo mundo. Já o Vilela disseminou muita doença venérea pelo ABC Paulista.

Long before Dana White and his rich friends bought the UFC, and even longer before Dana White was filmed slapping his wife and didn't get any punishment for it, Art Davie and Rorion Gracie had an idea. Eight fighters from different disciplines, coming together like gladiators to finally determine which martial art was the most effective. Most people didn't have any idea who would win, but most people hadn't encountered Gracie Jiu Jitsu. The first UFC was an unorganized, awkward showcase for an idea that would change combat sports forever.

Rorion Gracie é bacharel em direito e reside nos Estados Unidos desde a década de 1970, onde, inicialmente, ensinava jiu-jitsu na garagem de sua casa. Foi o fundador e proprietário da Academia Gracie em Torrance, na Califórnia. Na época Rorion começou varias tentativas de popularizar o Jiu-Jitsu Brasileiro nos Estados Unidos. Rorion começou a se relacionar com figuras de Hollywood e fez a coreografia do filme Lethal Weapon (no Brasil: Maquina Mortífera) de 1987, no final do filme o protagonista interpretado por Mel Gibson aplica um triângulo em um vilão. No filme Lethal Weapon 3 (no Brasil: Maquina Mortífera 3) Rorion aparece como um capanga em um papel sem falas. Entre 1989 e 1992, produziu um documentário falando sobre a arte Gracie de lutar jiu-jitsu, o Gracie in Action. Muitos das filmagens foram os Gracies e seus alunos derrotando lutadores de outras artes marciais. Rorion, se interessou em realizar um evento que promovesse o Jiu-Jitsu Gracie, e poderia provar sua efetividade ao derrotar oponentes maiores e de outras artes marciais mais famosas. Foi assim que Rorion fundou o projeto "War of the Worlds" (Guerra dos Mundos) e entrarão em contato com a empresa de Pay-per-view Semaphore Entertainment Group (SEG) e o "War of the Worlds" logo se tornou o evento The Ultimate Fighting Championship (depois renomeado para UFC 1). O irmão mais novo de Rorion, Royce Gracie, foi escolhido para representar o Jiu-Jitsu da família. Com o sucesso Royce , o Jiu-Jitsu Gracie explodiu em popularidade e eventualmente deu origem às Artes Marciais Mistas (MMA). Rorion saiu da organização após o UFC Além da importância de Rorion na divulgação do jiu-jitsu no mundo. Ele também escreveu o livro A dieta Gracie e segue divulgando a filosofia do jiu-jitsu mundo a fora! Mais um troca inédita e especial no PURA CONNECTION Podcast!

This week we talk to Master Carlos Machado (Jiu jitsu 8th degree).  We discuss Master Machado's career as a BJJ practitioner and what he contributes to being successful in an art that most quit in-The price we pay if we are to go beyond mediocrity and brain fog, -The belief that jiu jitsu is the answer for law enforcement. -All Police Officers should be blue belts. -If you were only given an hour a week to train, what would you focus on to get the most out of the hour?-Methodology for Jiu JitsuCarlos Machado was born on the 9th of November, 1963 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is the eldest of the Machado brothers (cousins to the Gracie's from Carlos Gracie Senior's sister in law, Luiza Machado). Carlos began his training at the legendary Gracie academy where he was taught and mentored directly by his uncle, Grandmaster Carlos Gracie.   After moving to the southern part of Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana, Carlos Machado was then taught and mentored directly by the legendary Rolls Gracie. Carlos Machado decided to follow his father's footsteps and study law at the University, he moved to Uncle Carlos Gracie Senior's home. Carlos Machado lived with Carlos Gracie Sr. for over 5 years from 1982 until 1987 and during that period Carlos Gracie became a huge influence on Machado's life.  In 1990, Carlos and John Machado joined Rigan and also moved to Southern California.  The original idea was to help Rorion Gracie and the Gracie family build and establish their academy (where Rorion and Rickson Gracie were the head instructors along with Royce Gracie).Chuck Norris had always been a martial arts enthusiast and wanted to learn Jiu Jitsu From The Source so he began training Jiu Jitsu with the Machado brothers to add his existing martial arts knowledge.  In 1995 Carlos Machado had an amazing opportunity with Chuck Norris and decided to move to Dallas, Texas to start filming Walker - Texas Ranger.  Chuck invited Carlos to relocate with him and Carlos decided that it was time to spread Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Texas and surrounding middle America areas. Chuck helped Carlos get established in his new home called Dallas, Texas.  Carlos Machado appeared in dozens of episodes of the “Walker, Texas Ranger” series during that period, portraying several different characters and usually getting beat up by his very pupil. On one occasion Chuck put a little too much pressure on a choke he held too long and in one of the scenes put his teacher Carlos Machado to sleep.  Carlos Machado is a multi Hall of Fame Instructor of Jiu Jitsu and known in Texas and the Southwest region of the United States as the “Godfather of Jiu-Jitsu”.  Before Carlos Machado relocated to the Dallas Fort Worth, Texas area, nobody was teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  Today most of the BJJ lineage in Southwest area can today can be traced back to Carlos Machado.The Carlos Machado Jiu Jitsu Academy is located in North Dallas, Farmers Branch, TX where he personally teaches all of his students from kids, teens to women and men.

Fabio Santos is a  legendary 7th degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coral belt and MMA trainer. He has trained with other legendary greats, including Helio Gracie, Carlson Gracie, Rickson Gracie,Rolls Gracie, Royce Gracie, Royler Gracie, Rorion Gracie, Pedro Sauer, Renzo Gracie, and Charles Gracie, to name just a few. Fabio also assisted Rickson with training Royce for the first UFC in history. He is also a successful business owner, fitness trainer, surfer, and avid skier. Honored to interview one of the most incredible BJJ instructors of our time.

Today's guest is Alberto Robayo.        Alberto Robayo is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under the legendary Rorion Gracie, the eldest son of Helio Gracie, the founder of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Alberto is the owner and head instructor at Miloki Flow BJJ academy with locations in Philadelphia, Miami, Florida and soon Charleston, SC.  Alberto, born in Bogota, Colombia has a fascinating story that he shares that takes us from his hometown of Bogota, Colombia, to Australia, Mexico, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and now Charlestown, SC.  Alberto graduated college with a business degree in Colombia, then soon ventured off to Australia where he earned a degree in Film and TV production. While in Australia, Alberto worked on feature films and documentaries, while also working as a divemaster and scuba diving instructor. Then one day he discovered BJJ.  Alberto tells the story of how a brief stopover in Los Angeles resulted in him meeting the Gracie family, his future wife and changed the course of his life.  Alberto found himself living in Los Angles and training full time at the Gracie Academy in Torrance. Not having any money to pay the tuition at the Gracie Academy, Alberto worked as a janitor cleaning the school to pay for his tuition.  In our conversation today, Alberto shares with us the life lessons he learned from training with the Gracie family, why when he is making a difficult decision, he first decides what he does not want to do to help him decide the best course of action.  Alberto and I also discuss why training BJJ can be such a powerful, positive force in people's lives. Alberto also shares with us the story of a motorcycle accident he was in back in 2016 that required multiple surgeries and years to recover from and why he thinks that accident was “great thing” that happened to him and how that accident brought about positive and needed changes into his life. We also discuss what lessons he learned from being a small business owner during a global pandemic and what life lesson he took from the COVID shutdown that he is carrying forward with him into the future. I was so excited when Alberto agreed to come on the show and share his remarkable story. Alberto is just an awesome guy. He is candid, speaks with emotion and passion. He is one of the most interesting people you will meet: beside being a black belt in BJJ, he is an entrepreneur, family man, he speaks 3 languages, has produced movies and documentaries, been a dive master, scuba instructor and even jumps out of airplanes.  So… Thank you for listening.  If you like what you hear, please HIT the SUBSCRIBE BUTTON.  We have a bunch of cool interviews, like this one, to come. Enjoy my conversation on with Alberto Robayo, Rorion Gracie Black Belt, divemaster, documentary maker, and head instructor and owner of Miloki Flow Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy.  And remember… “Life is built, not born…” Mentioned In this Episode:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alberto-robayo-b96bb629/ (Alberto Robayo)Website: https://www.milokiflow.com/ (www.Milokiflow.com)IG: https://www.instagram.com/milokiflow/ (Miloki Flow BJJ Academy)FB: https://www.facebook.com/milokiflow (Miloki Flow BJJ Academy)Book: https://www.amazon.com/The-Alchemist-Paulo-Coelho-audiobook/dp/B000BO2D3C/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1GF81EW6JM2WS&keywords=the+alchemist&qid=1637018242&qsid=141-3420215-0335902&sprefix=the+alch%2Caps%2C-1&sr=8-1&sres=0062315005%2C0062390627%2CB00SLUCP4A%2CB09K27XZ2J%2C0062024329%2C0061122416%2CB00540JYS0%2C1421554933%2CB01GUEW1KG%2C1421599945%2CB07XLKLB17%2C0062845063%2C1421534134%2C1846046386%2CB00ONTS5UQ%2CB000R51QUQ&srpt=ABIS_BOOK (The Alchemist (by Paolo...
