Ultimate Gracie on Spike TV

shit I missed it anyone know if they are planning to air it again?

Im sure they will air it again. When watching the severn interview part I was thinking how cool it would be to have a dad willing to let you take a beating like that lol. Royce was willing to give everything for gracie jiu jitsu and Im sure he would have felt really shitty if his dad had thrown in the towel and stopped beleiving in the comeback power of jiu jitsu.

Nonetheless, that was a great show and it made me proud to be a part of the greatest, most graceful martial art -- Jiu Jitsu. :)

In the show Royce explained that that was the point. They knew that Rickson being more athletic would look far less impressive when he won, so they picked Royce because of his size and non athletic stature. That way Americans would see big, strong, dudes getting smashed by a tall skinny Brazilian. It is the greatest story ever. The David taking down the Goliath.

Royce single handedly drove BJJ's point home. The smaller, less athletic guy can find a way to win with leverage and technique.

This is very true. But can you imagin how sweet it would have been watching Rickson sweeping Ken Shamrock and slaping on a text book armbar form mount! or some crazy form of domination along those lines.

"Royce was the guy that used to watch the kids."

When that one guy said that, I died laughing.

ME TOO

I loved the special and it was super cool to hear from him (Royce) how he feels about it all.

Royce inspired a movement and I'm very grateful for that.
