"Shattering disappointments require you to be radically honest with yourself, a process that can be painful but is absolutely necessary."

-Rickson Gracie, Breathe: A Life in Flow

"If I'm fighting for money, I'll stop hitting you when you or the referee asks me to. If we are fighting for honor, I'll stop hitting you when I feel like it."

-Rickson Gracie, Breathe: A Life in Flow

"Today, 98 percent of MMA fans have never stepped into the cage, or even onto the mat, much less felt their noses break or tendons pop. Their relationship with violence is virtual. MMA is just something else to watch on a screen. Perhaps this is why the UFC's Octagon is now the equivalent of the Roman Colosseum. Bloody, violent, and explosive."

-Rickson Gracie, Breathe: A Life in Flow

"Today, it is possible to get a Jiu Jitsu black belt without knowing self-defense or even getting into a real fight. This was impossible during the 1970s and 1980s. Because my father and uncle loudly proclaimed their style 'the world's most effective form of self-defense,' every young Gracie knew that at some point he would be called upon to represent our family in the ring or in the street. Your first official vale tudo fight was like losing your virginity; it was a rite of passage."
