Robert Drysdale Makes Jiujitsu History -- Again
b"You probably know Robert Drysdale because he\\u2019s one of the most accomplished grapplers of his generation, having won both the IBJJF world championship and the ADCC absolute championship. What you might not know is that he\\u2019s a trained historian. And his project Closed Guard: The Movie, is going to be the first comprehensive film that tackles Brazilian jiu-jitsu history from a scholarly perspective. At the world championships this year, we sat down outside the Walter Pyramid with him to talk about progress on the film (slated for release toward the end of 2018), what surprised him most when researching the documentary and about the feedback he\\u2019s received so far.\\n\\nRobert Drysdale is also coming back to Elevate MMA on Sep. 2 for a seminar, so for those of you who are in the Durham, NC area, don\\u2019t miss it!
