Rener Gracie Podcast
Just listened to Rener Gracie on FightWorksPodcast…Great input, I agree with what he had to say about the defensive strategy of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the mentality of survive at all costs. The sport and defensive mentality are conflicting and something I contemplate on a regular basis. This decision is a good subject to consider as it will decide what path in Jiu-Jitsu a person is on.

Why not be both ? I am geared more to sport jiujitsu, easily. But the defensive portions of the gracie jiujitsu are so important to me and my future as a teacher. I want to be able to teach woman, and children and weak people alike how to defend themselves, to prevail under any circumstances.
But I love Renzo Gracie and Rener Gracie, both make compelling arguments. But in the end i just hope we all win.

Being both as in balancing between the two philosophies? I train with both mind sets but when it comes down to it my fundamentals are that of the more traditional, survival.
Training to compete or with a competition mindset, it is important to stay active and on the attack in order to cope with the time limit.
My favorite event to date was the Gracie Open in 2003. No time limit and many competitors. Great event and the Gracie family came through with what they said about the tournament…the grand prize really was a “life changing experience”.
