DK's 2nd Thinktank a couple weeks ago in Del Mar California was a great event but by far the highlight for me was meeting one of my hero's Robert Drysdale.
Robert is one of the if not THE greatest Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter ever. He has won 6 world titles and over 90 tournament victories. He is the current Abu-Dhabi world champion. He is one bad mother.
At Thinktank Robert showed us all kinds of moves and let each of us "roll" with him on the ground if we wanted. It was really awesome.
Then I get home and 2 days later I saw this commercial on ESPN featuring Robert for TapOut:
HOW GODAMN AMAZING IS THAT FLYING TRIANGLE & ARMBAR!!!!!!
Anyway at Thinktank it was fun to learn some more moves from the best in the biz. Here is one of me tapping out Robert to knee bar:
Here is a video I shot with Robert working with David that shows a lot of what he was doing with everyone:

Jonah Stein putting it on em:
If you check out DK's site you will see some of the biggest players in the SEO/Affiliate space being put in some of the funniest movies by Robert. And some hold their own a bit like Tony Adam (formally of yahoo!).
Robert stuck around the rest of the day to shoot the shit and even do some surfing with us. I introduced my 3 year old daughter to him and he was really awesome talking to her.
I also gave a open Q&A discussion at Thinktank that I think went over pretty well:
Props to DK for throwing such a great event and thank you to Robert Drysdale for being such a awesome guy.
