Roger Gracie just retired from competition but for many BJJ practitioners he’s the GOAT of BJJ and that will never change.
In this interview he shares his opinion on losing matches and how he feels about it. As we can see he just don’t accept defeat.
Recently he explained why he thinks he’s so good in Jiu Jitsu and in competition:
“My goal was never to win tournaments, to bring medals. It was to be the best that I could be. I have a very strong belief in me and that is probably my biggest weapon. I don’t accept defeat, so for me defeat is unacceptable. I give my 110% if I have to.“
When asked do you use visualization Roger Gracie replied:
“I use visualization since I know I’m fighting. I’m already visualizing me winning, i’m tapping my opponent in every possible way and that helps a lot”
Roger was also asked about advice for BJJ practitioners:
“You need to be committed. Set yourself a goals, believe that’s possible and go after it.”
