April 28, 2006 - Paulo Filho, Undefeated MMA Champion and member of the famous
Brazilian Top Team confessed to GracieMag.com that he was astonished with the
experience of training with Rickson. Filho reveals that he has never seen anyone
with the technical knowledge of the great Jiu-Jitsu myth.
“'I've never seen a Jiu-Jitsu
like that in my life!
I have trained with the toughest guys formed by Carlson Gracie. They were all
great and I for sure don’t want to diminish anybody, but I have to say that no
one ever did to me what Rickson Gracie has done during training these last
days,”
confesses this Pride Bushido star.
However, Filho demonstrated impressive loyalty to his team, clarifying that did
not change teams. He is still part of Brazilian Top Team, although he points out
that he maintains a certain degree of technical secrecy:
“The opportunity I’m having is unique, so I’m not divulging it. Those are
techniques that I intend to incorporate to my fighting, and hopefully will make
me a more worthy Jiu-Jitsu representative.”

Back in the 90’s it was common for great Jiu-Jitsu champions to train with
Rickson and come out astonished. That was the case of Fabio Gurgel, Renzo
Gracie, Roberto Roleta, Alexandre Paiva, Nino Schembri, among others.
In fact, Royce Gracie, the "UFC Legend" has said, "Rickson is 10 times better
than me."
Filho comes from the Carlson Gracie’s lineage, where opinions about Rickson were
the most skeptical within the world of Jiu-Jitsu, but maybe only because no one
from Carlson’s side had ever the opportunity to train with the icon before Filho.
Rickson is training in Brazil for about five months now. Filho confirms that,
despite his age, the Gracie is at his top physical shape.
