Raised in the Justice League: Rolles, Igor, Roger & Rayron Gracie on Growing Up Gracie

Four Gracies at one table in Mexico, uncut. Kenny Kim sits down at the Gracie Adventure Camp in Playa del Carmen with Rolles Gracie, Igor Gracie, Roger Gracie and Rayron Gracie: growing up inside the family that changed martial arts, the broke years in Rio, whether jiu-jitsu has lost its way, why you don't push a five-year-old, and whether being a Gracie comes with superpowers.
