You guys have heard me talk about jujitsu ad nauseum, but what you may not have heard me talk

too much about is the often overlooked invisible form of the martial art that has taken over the world

of MMA and combat sports. This is not about submitting or disabling an opponent on the mats,

but how the lessons learned on the mats apply to your everyday life.

I can think of no better person to share this knowledge and depth of experience than one of

the toughest men in the first family of Jiu-Jitsu, Hickson Gracie. Today, Hickson and I talk about

managing fear, how to find a mission more important than your life, how to keep your

identity secure, although you may lose one element of who you are, the importance of a balanced

approach to being a warrior, why base on the mats and off is so crucial, and the power of

respecting and honoring your intuition. You're a man of action.

You live life to the fullest.

Embrace your fears and boldly chart your own path.

When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.

You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.

This is your life.

This is who you are. This is who you will become at the end of the day.

And after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.

Gentlemen, welcome to the Order of Man podcast. I've got an exciting conversation lined up with Hicks and Gracie, a repeat guest and one that I deeply admire

and respect, not only because of my own jiu-jitsu journey, but this is a man who has spent

a lifetime learning how to be a warrior, learning how to fight, and with his recent diagnosis of

Parkinson's disease, has taken one element of his physical capacity to fight off the table,

but is still being a warrior, not only in that fight, but teaching other men how to do the same.
