On today’s episode, we have another Dirty Dozen member, David Meyer. David is not only one of the first non-Brazilians to receive a bjj black belt but he is the first American to medal in the IBJJF World Championships.

David was already a black belt in a different style of jiu jitsu before he started training with the Machados. He soon realized that what Rigan Machado was doing on the mats was vastly superior to what he knew. David started a new martial arts journey under Rigan and he shares that journey here with us.

Here is The RŌL Radio with Dirty Dozen member, Rigan Machado black belt, author, animal welfare activist, and a man who went from black belt to white belt and back again, David Meyer.
