Thought a change of topic might be nice!
Awesome! Also some nice butterfly love, I definitely agree with Drysdale that one of the great things about focusing on butterfly and half guard is you can use it equally in gi/nogi/mma, whereas if you are training things like spider/DLR, not so much. If you can train all day every day this may not be so much of an issue, but if you are training 2/3x per week, you simply cannot develop lethal black belt proficiency in a multitude of different guards, you need to specialize. So why not specialize in something versatile?
I would train with Drysdale in a second if I was in LV. Love his style. Reminds me of Dean Lister.
excellent episode, can hardly wait for part 2. Been a big fan of drysdales for a long time now, looking forward to seeing more of him in the future
I have not yet watched this Rolled Up episode, but a couple of things:
- Robert is an amazingly effective instructor;
- for those of you that have trained, once or more, at his academy, please consider leaving a review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/robert-drysdale-brazilian-jiu-jitsu-las-vegas
If you can imagine the unfairness of nearly all of the BJJ/SG schools in Las Vegas having five star (Woohoo! As good as it gets!) rankings except Drysdale's due to a single negative experience documented years ago by a White Belt (no offence to you WBs) that took a class when Drysdale wasn't even in town. If you think that creating an account to be able to rate is too much trouble/effort, I understand (and your rating might be filtered anyway), but if you already have an account please consider taking the time. Thanks. - E
