Following his diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease in 2023, Gracie, a renowned jiu-jitsu practitioner, shares his personal battle and coping mechanisms through his new book, “Comfort in the Dark: The Power of Invisible Jiu-Jitsu.”
revealed in 2023 that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. And it was the battle against the disease that motivated him to launch his second book, “Comfort in the Dark: The Power of Invisible Jiu-Jitsu ” in July 2024.In an interview on the “Mundo da Luta” podcast on Monday, Gracie spoke about the launch of his new book.
“The idea was that, with the story of my life, after this biography , it was missing that I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I am going through a, let’s say, evolutionary phase of my life,” he said.”And I would like to pass on to people the way I try to solve my problems. We all have problems, we all have opponents —whether physical, spiritual or mental.
Gracie makes it clear that he faces the disease with the same respect and the same desire to win as he did against his opponents in the ring. “It’s a daily battle and my overview of the problem can be resolved. If it is not resolved on the outside, it will be resolved on the inside It is already resolved within my heart,” Gracie said. “The regular doctor gave me some medicine and told me to exercise and wait. But through seeking out various healers and different ways of interpreting this illness, I began to change my life. I stopped eating meat, drinking beer and wine. I started fasting, taking all kinds of supplements.
“I don’t wish that disease, not even on my worst enemy,” Ruas said. “First of all, he was not my enemy, only my rival. I´m sad for all Rickson is passing through. I even prayed for him. He has the same profession as I. He is a fighter, a warrior. He was the best representative of the Gracie family of our generation, the one who made himself available to defend his family name for so long. I really hope that he recovers and gets healthy. I have nothing against him.
