Jiu Jitsu is a mousetrap. The trap does not chase the mouse. But when the mouse grabs the cheese, the trap plays its role.

Jiu-Jitsu is like a philosophy. It helps me learn how to face life.

A real jiu-jitsu fighter does not go around beating people down. Our defense is made to neutralize aggression.

You should never have a power, in any area, with the purpose of harming someone.

I knew I wasn't going to lose and that was based on the fact that I wanted not to lose.

The Jiu Jitsu I created was designed to give the weak ones a chance to face the heavy and strong.

If you count all fights like everybody else does, including Rickson, who says he has 400 fights; if you count like that, I have a million.
