Summary:
For Rickson, Jiu Jitsu is a metaphor for life. Some consider Jiu Jitsu a martial art, others consider it a sport, but to Gracie, it is a philosophical system he uses to face and evaluate life's challenges and maintain happiness and mental balance. Gracie wrote Comfort in Darkness after being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, a terminal sentence which he views as the final fight of his life, one he knows he will eventually lose. This is Gracie's defining life statement about his spiritual and technical practice.
