    Scott Burr, Rickson Gracie Black Belt and Co-Author of 'Lessons from the Mat'

    Welcome to the Jiu Jitsu Dummies Podcast, presented by Black Belt Digital Marketing and AcademySafe.org Episode 182: Scott Burr – Lessons from the Mat & Future Classics In this episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Dummies Podcast, we sit down with 3rd-degree Black Belt, author, and philosopher of the mats, Scott Burr. Scott is the co-author of the highly acclaimed book Lessons from the Mat (with Benjamin Chen), which explores the 12 martial arts principles that translate directly into business and life success. But Scott’s work behind the scenes of Jiu-Jitsu literature goes even deeper. We dive into: Writing with Legends: Scott shares insights into his current high-profile book projects with two of the most iconic figures in the art: Rickson Gracie and "Dirty Dozen" member Chris Haueter. Worth Defending: We revisit his collaboration with Richard Bresler, the man widely considered the first student of BJJ in America. The Creative Process: How do you capture the "invisible" concepts of Rickson or the unique, artistic philosophy of Haueter and put them into words? Whether you are a white belt just starting or a black belt looking for deeper conceptual understanding, Scott’s perspective on the history and future of BJJ is invaluable.    Instagram handles: @enclavejiujitsu @scottburrauthor   Thank you to Episode Sponsors:  Black Belt Digital Marketing - Request a FREE Review of your company's online presence today!
