There’s no denying it. As soon as you started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you were hooked. And now – weeks, months, and years after that first class – not much has changed. Except the fact that you enjoy and love BJJ that much more than it was ever the case before.
The legendary Renzo Gracie is one of those people who can truly say that Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just a way of life for them; but that it’s a part of who they are and what their legacy will be.
Renzo spoke about it on a Frota Academy video:
Jiu-Jitsu is… Everything I am. It’s like I’m Jiu-Jitsu and Jiu-Jitsu is me. The reality is, if you take Jiu-Jitsu out of me, I don’t see.
I apply Jiu-Jitsu not only on the mats, not only when I’m fighting… But I apply Jiu-Jitsu really in everything. Really in all situations.Jiu-Jitsu is a foundation of a huge building. It’s a way of life.
He is grateful for being a part of Jiu-Jitsu history and for the opportunity to transfer knowledge:
One thing that I see that has been of importance through my family is – keeping the knowledge alive. Strengthening the spine of this amazing sport.
I feel very honored to be a link on this amazing chain of relatives and people, and those who will come after me to keep teaching Jiu-Jitsu, to keep passing the knowledge forward.
