Love, Legacy & Jiu-Jitsu ft. Ryron & Victoria Gracie | Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby

Published on: 29th August, 2025

In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with husband-and-wife duo Ryron and Victoria Gracie—leaders in the legendary Gracie Jiu-Jitsu family.

We talk about what it’s really like to grow up Gracie, how jiu-jitsu goes beyond fighting into lessons about emotional control, patience, and resilience—and why those lessons carry into marriage, parenting, and everyday life.


Ryron opens up about the pressure (and freedom) of being a Gracie, while Victoria shares what it’s like to marry into a legacy—and how they balance tradition with growth in their own family. From the mats to marriage, from raising kids to running Gracie University, their story is as much about love and values as it is about martial arts.
