Jiu-Jitsu Unraveled #49 with Scott Burr

Scott Burr is a third-degree black belt under Master Rickson Gracie and Steve Maxwell, and is the co-author of Worth Defending: How Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Saved My Life, Richard Bresler's bestselling memoir of his over 40 years' involvement with the Gracie family and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. In this episode, Scott and I discuss some of his strategies for writing, interviewing, and publishing, as well as how some of his past and present projects came together.

We discuss his involvement in editing Robert Drysdale's book, Opening Closed Guard, as well as the book he is currently working on with one of the first American Black Belts in Jiu-Jitsu, Chris Haueter. From stories about meeting and training with some of the most significant living minds in Jiu-Jitsu to private lessons with Master Rickson Gracie, there was no shortage of great conversation to be had! It was a pleasure sitting down with Scott for this podcast, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you for listening!
