Em “Tropa de elite 2”, filme de 2010, o premiado ator Wagner Moura interpreta um policial que não se entende com a família, não compreende a visão de mundo do filho e vive sob um estresse quase asfixiante.
Mas há momentos de carinho e amor: quando pai e filho vão felizes para os tatames de Jiu-Jitsu, onde os personagens se desarmam, se respeitam e se entendem.
Os atores foram treinados para a cena com mestre Rickson Gracie, que elogiou: “Não sei se são ótimos atores ou ótimos lutadores, mas fiquei impressionado”.
A lembrança do treininho entre pai e filho em “Tropa de Elite 2” faz lembrar o infinito papel mediador do Jiu-Jitsu, capaz de melhorar a vida de turmas, de indivíduos, de famílias inteiras e até da sociedade como um todo.
Entre os membros da Rickson.Academy, são muitas histórias de vida que nos inspiram. Pessoas que perderam mais de 30 quilos, jovens que aprenderam a combater a ansiedade, parentes que se entenderam e gente que recuperou sua autoestima de algum modo.

Hello Master Rickson, there have been so many benefits with Jiu Jitsu in my life, but the one I am very thankful for and was unexpected was how it improved my relationship with God. Knowing the human body and survival mindset of JJ and the 'I don't know what I'm going to do, but I will be ok' made me realize that no matter what obstacles I face God will be there, and calmness that Jiu Jitsu gives me lets me focus on the things in this world that really matter, not material things, but Life, Love, Family, Friends.... and Rolling :) Thank you for sharing your families art and improving lives.
BJJ has changed my life 180°. I used to cower in the face of stress, adversity, anxiety, and confrontation. When I was 40, we had our first baby, a son. I realized I knew nothing about protecting my family; at this time I was invited to train with Craig Husband, one of Rickson’s long time students; what an honor it has been. My journey is a complete 180°. It’s not about how many techniques I know, or principles, it’s an inner confidence I’ve never had before, which has bred a genuine humility in the face of adversity and confrontation, whether at work, with family, or driving down the road, I’m a new and different man.
JJ made me better by exposing weaknesses inside myself and in my physicality, and showed me how to strengthen them. It helped me bond with my son as we trained together, and now it's bonding me with my grand kids as we train together. Rickson Gracie Academy is bringing me a whole new level of motivation to train and improve. I'm working hard to heal old injuries to get back to the mat.
