Summary
My guest today is none other than Rickson Gracie, the son of Helio Gracie (the man who developed Brazilin Jiu-Jitsu). Rickson is a 9th degree red belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a mixed martial artist.
He was widely considered to be the best fighter of the Gracie clan and one of the toughest individuals in the world. He's been training since he was six, received his black belt by 18, and subsequently went on to be undefeated in his professional fight career.
He is also the author of his upcoming book, Breathe: A Life in Flow, the subject of the documentary, Choke, and the upcoming Netflix Documentary called Dead or Alive.
Needless to say, this man knows as much about Jiu-Jitsu (if not more than) as any other as any other man on the planet and I'm honored to have him here today.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
- Jiu-Jitsu is more mental than physical
- How does warrior mindset in Jiu-Jitsu translate to improving in other areas of life
- Respect for the Gracie name and art of Jiu-Jitsu
- Finding value from external pressure
- Responding to critics and those who challenge the effectiveness of the art
- Learning about ourselves through challenges
- Successful men don't dabble
- Code of honor
- Finding your purpose through service
- Gentleness versus violence in the art

| 0:00.0 | Alright guys, many of you are familiar with my immersion into the world of Jiu-Jitsu over the past two |
| 0:04.8 | years or so, but it's become such a crucial part of my life that I look for every single opportunity |
| 0:10.2 | to learn more about the practice and actually train. So with that said, I'm joined today by |
| 0:16.2 | one of the greatest ever to train Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts. His name is Hixing Gracie. |
| 0:21.8 | Today we talk about his absolutely incredible life as documented in his upcoming book, |
| 0:27.6 | Breathe, a Life in Flow. We talk about what it's like to be a Gracie, the shifting paradigms of |
| 0:33.8 | becoming a mature man developing and living with a personal code of conduct and honor. Also the |
| 0:40.5 | physical, mental and spiritual realm of Jiu-Jitsu and ultimately how Jiu-Jitsu allows you to live a |
| 0:45.8 | life in flow. You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears. |
| 0:51.2 | You can boldly charge your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, |
| 0:56.5 | every time. You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. |
| 1:03.6 | This is who you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day and after all is said and done, |
| 1:09.8 | you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan McClure. I am the |
| 1:15.2 | host and the founder of the Order of Man podcast and movement. I want to welcome you here, |
| 1:20.1 | whether you've been with us for years or just joining and tuning into the podcast and the movement |
| 1:24.1 | to reclaim and restore masculinity. This is a great one to start on because my conversation with |
| 1:29.9 | Hixson is absolutely incredible. He's a fascinating human being. His documentaries and his book are |
| 1:38.6 | incredible and there are a ton, a ton of life lessons for ourselves to be extracted from this. |
| 1:44.4 | So we'll get into that conversation here in just a minute. Before I do, I want to just ask |
| 1:50.5 | something of you a favor if you would. It goes a long way. I need you to leave a five-star rating |
| 1:55.3 | and review wherever you listen to podcasts and I need you to share the daylights out of the podcast |
| 2:01.5 | and the movement itself. Keep sharing, keep promoting, keep texting, keep taking those screenshots |
