 In a segment featured below from the Fighters Advice YouTube channel, world-class competitor, coach, and historian Robert Drysdale—5th-degree black belt under Léo Vieira, IBJJF World Champion (2005), and ADCC Absolute World Champion (2007)—shares powerful insights on what truly shapes success in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Drysdale, who is widely respected across the global BJJ community—including here at RSA—challenges the belief that success depends on elite training environments. Instead, he emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining the right mindset, getting your values straight, taking full accountability, and resisting the influence of today’s feel-good, self-esteem-driven culture that can often hinder real growth. His message thoughtfully reflects themes we’ve explored in our earlier post, while offering a candid and timely perspective. Full credit to the Fighters Advice channel for producing and sharing this valuable conversation.
