Choke: Rickson Gracie Documentary

I’ve steered clear of posting any MMA here because there are a million sites that do it and do it well. That’s not us. We love it and we’re huge fans, but here, this is Jiu Jitsu. This however may be one of the very few times I post anything that’s not strictly Jiu Jitsu related. It’s Rickson, and Rickson is damn near deity status in our circles.

This documentary, if you’ve never seen it, is from 1999 and chronicles his trip to Japan to fight. I stumbled across it and got sucked in again and I thought I’d share. So instead of watching two episodes of reruns today spend some time with a legend and remind yourself why you love doing what you do.
