Episode 52 “The Life You Save Might Just Be Your Own”
Miguel and Knocko of the Arm Bar Podcast talk with Richard Bresler, author of the critically acclaimed new book, “Worth Defending: How Gracie Jiu Jitsu Saved My Life”.
Bresler is famously known as the first American Gracie Jiu Jitsu student in the United States, dating back to the 1970’s under Rorian Gracie. Bresler was an integral part of the growth of Gracie Jiu Jitsu by way of his financial investment in the very first Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy in Hermosa Beach, as well as the formation of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Bresler, now a Black Belt Professor himself, shared his struggles and achievements as well as life lessons on how he overcame resistance and continues to persevere thru various challenges.
