The REAL Origin of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

What is the real history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? We've heard the stories of Maeda brining the secrets of Judo to the Gracie family who developed the system into what it is today. But is this truly accurate? Are there other people who deserve to be a part of the story? Today we invite special guest, BJJ black belt, author, and filmmaker, Robert Drysdale, to join us and share his research with us, that explore the REAL origin of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

As a Karateka that trains in Jujitsu now I have great respect for Robert Drysdale. Very insightful and great interviewer.

[benephelps]

I can’t describe how entertaining and interesting this is to me as a Bjj practitioner and martial arts enthusiast

[ludokaleo]

I am a judoka & BJJ practitioner...I listened on audible to both of Coach Drysdales books...absolutely fascinating history of bjj.

[ajshiro]

I love that he points out how people hold BJJ as the standard of training, but it also suffers from angry parents pulling out their kids and it being centered around what the parents want. I never hear any complaints about it. Very informative

Fascinating interview! A great look into the BJJ & professional MMA world.

Hi, if you are interested, there is another youtuber named Chadi, who covers the history of Judo, BJJ, Aikido as well as comparisons to other arts.

[camiloiribarren]

I’m learning so much about how BJJ came to be, how it is taught and what is important Vs what people like. A lot of these points are applicable to more than just martial arts, it can be applied to a lot of life skills in school

Amazing guest and conversation, I cannot wait for the documentary!

[JamesMMcCann]

Ordering my copy of the book tomorrow. Great interview.

That was a really great interview and subject Dan Sensei! Well done! 😁👍🙏

[kennethmullins]

I really enjoyed this interview. Mostly because of Mr. Drysdale's honesty. He tells it like it is and I really appreciate that. Plus He didn't disrespect other styles like some BJJ stylists do.

[Sambo_Shorts]

Yes! Drysdale's research needs to go mainstream

[olderthanyoucali]

This information has been known for a while, as far as Brazilian jiu-jitsu's Judo origins.

Thanks for the excellent inspiring videos. Your channel is an essential reference to the world of martial arts. More progress and prosperity in your videos. I hope some videos about kajukenpo

[vincewhite]

Even reading Google, people don’t read the full Google article either.

A great big thank you to both of you for the excellent video.

[douglaskurtz]

I'm sorry, I can't not think of the Beverly Hillbillies when you say "Mr. Drysdale".

[nisbenyricardo]

I trained under professor Drysdale for 2 years. He always was very nice and the training was top notch. If you live in vegas try his school and Cascao Jiujitsu under master Walter vital( my favorite instructor ever).

[tommartin]

Very well articulated. This guy is very knowledgeable

[BaiLong]

Awesome interview Sensei Dan! Honestly I could listen to Mr. Drysdale for hours. Such incredible insights! I like how he brings a historian’s objective perspective to BJJ history. Like you I was somewhat shocked hearing how he said MMA and BJJ have been regressing in terms of training. Finally liked how he said we listen too much to podcasts and YouTube clips (yes I’m aware I write that as I’m listening to a YouTube clip :) ) for our information. I’d like to be more well read like him. I’m any case great job to both in this video!
