Rickson Gracie: The Origin and Battles of the World’s Most Legendary BJJ Fighter

Today on Change Agents, Andy Stumpf sits down with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu legend Rickson Gracie. Rickson is the third oldest son of Heilo Gracie. As a member of the Gracie family, he has been at the forefront of BJJ, MMA, and professional fighting for most of his life.  He has also battled tragedy—losing his son in 2001 to a drug overdose—and hardship—he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago—partly with the help of the techniques of “invisible jiu jitsu”.  Today, him and Andy, about his life, his origins, and his new book, Comfort in Darkness.  You can pre-order his new book, Comfort in Darkness: The Invisible Power of Jiu Jitsu, here: https://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Darkness-Invisible-Power-Jitsu/dp/0063264846  Change Agents is an IRONCLAD Original presented by Firecracker Farm.
