BJJ Legends: Well, essential to our culture is loyalty. My instructor Wander Braga and his instructor, Jorge Pereira always say, every time I see them, “It’s always important that family and loyalty is the most important thing.”

Rickson Gracie: Yes. They are dear brothers for mine.

BJJ Legends: Thank you. In Jiu-Jitsu and in life… My first instructor was Jason Krikorian. He always used to say the same thing. Always very important that loyalty was ever-present in the Jiu-Jitsu player because who knows what’s going to happen in life, but it’s very important to be able to rely on those around you. So I’d like to say to you thank you for your loyalty to the art…

Rickson Gracie: My pleasure.

BJJ Legends:… and to the Jiu-Jitsu community…

Rickson Gracie: My pleasure.

BJJ Legends:… for circling back around here and educating us and helping to guide us back towards some of the more traditional ways of dealing with this art, so that we can all benefit from it.

Rickson Gracie: Thank you, my friend.

BJJ Legends: Thank you very much.

Rickson Gracie: Jiu-Jitsu for life.

BJJ Legends: Jiu-Jitsu for life. Thank you for sitting with BJJ Legends.

Rickson Gracie: Thank you very much. Thank you.
