I have several instructional dvds Mr Harris has produced over the years and they are all treasure troves of information that I continually visit. I think Roy Harris is a genius and this interview was fantastic and look forward to seeing his future projects when they are available. Thanks for giving such a great interview 🙏

Trained jkd and bjj with Roy back in 95 when I transferred to UCSD. Great humble instructor. I wish him well. “Use no way as way, have no limitations as limitations “

Straight gold in this conversation. I have several apps by Mr. Harris, and they are game changing. As an older blue belt, I don't have the time to make it a long journey. I have to play catch up.

Having fun is paramount, even if you are rolling hard. I am two months out now with knee tears from my partner. I am 58 and still competitive in class, but older. Had I known as a young man growing up in O’side that you were near, my life would be different today. Thank you. Going to San Diego this week and will train.

I am really impressed how deep sensei Roy Harris knowledge on jiujitsu and life is. Very impressive.

I could listen to these two all day. Great stuff. Thanks! Osss

I am in Hong Kong right now. This is serendipitous! Thanks

I love both of them their calm way of explaining is really helpful and suits my age better than being yelled on. This piece of researching your way and going slower has helped me enjoy and progress even at my age of soon 54. I will keep following you, it is so inspiring.

This journey of discovery in Brazilian Jiu-Jitzu that Roy and Roy have taken together is an inspiring examples of how visions and determination can lead to great successes and healthy lifestyles.

Thank you for this amazing interview! Back in 95-96, I started my jiu-jitsu journey with Master Fabio santos. I was a UCSD student and I could only afford 1x/week which was $70/month. I don't remember how I stumbled upon Mr. Harris' Friday night bjj class in the UCSD recreation room. I used it to supplement my 1x/week jiu-jitsu training. I was so drunk with the Gracie Kool-Aid that I didn't see how valuable someone like Roy Harris was. Thank you!

I’ve been thinking into this myself a lot. Technique is an algorithm. The most simple and specific solution to a specific complicated problem.

Both of you are legends

Roy Harris is a gem of a guy. I took privates with him and I really enjoyed every minute. Just a super nice guy. I'd love to see him put out more content.

Legends! I began bjj using Roy dean's materials grateful for your generosity Sensei.

A wealthspring of wisdom for all. Thank you!

If Rolls was alive when Roy was going to LA in the 80s he would have welcomed Roy with open arms since Rolls was open minded to other forms such as Greco-Roman wrestling and Russian Sambo

I love Sensei Harris! His online course on the foundation of BJJ is excellent!

I’d love to hear the discussion about jiu-jitsu for different body types Knowing what you’re predisposed to do or have a slight advantage in and why also requires some depth of understanding the art Many guards, sweeps, passes and submissions work better for some people and genetics seem to play a role in this phenomenon

This was fantastic from both interviewer and interviewee. We had the honor of hosting Master Roy Dean a few years ago for a seminar/retreat with Masters from a few other arts. Not only did Master Roy Dean highly impress us with his skill and fluidity, he spoke highly of his instructor during the seminar which I thought was very honorable although now I see why. Side note: one of the Masters; Master Lee Crawford was I believe a 7th dan in Aikido and effortlessly phenomenal. She had Master Roy Dean who was also humble enough to participate as a student when the other Masters were teaching help us with some of the techniques and he was surprisingly just as effective in Aikido as he was in BJJ. Had us airborne with almost zero effort as did Master Lee Crawford.

Brilliant video. Just by listening to them both, one can add to your game and Life. Humility and brain overload

Could listen to Mr Harris all day. Everything he says comes from the heart, is filled with purpose, and has the potential to better your life!

Glade to discovery this amazing sensei! Thanks!.

Thank you both for this!

Awesome interview! This man is definitely a gift to those who are fortunate to have had a chance to train with him. Great job Roy Dean!

Thank you roy for his material!

Great interview 💗

The Roy's (Harris and Dean) have a wonderfully articulate and detailed knowledge of martial arts and BJJ. Thanks for doing this and sharing such useful knowledge

Just incredible. A master. Thank you

Mahalo for guiding the mindset and approach of this journey, so important!

Thanks to you for sharing this knowledge , and I appreciate you both!!

Love this interview. I've been going to MKG since 96. And I think all of sifu Faye students Feel like that!

Alot of valuable information here! Excellent video, thank you Sensei and Sensei!

Wow. what a great person. Thanks for this interview.

Really interesting podcast. I love your choice of words - just like technical knowledge - clearly refined through the years. Amazing interview

great talk. very interesting perspectives! I wanted to go to the mat and roll more and more for each second that passed =)

I really enjoyed this conversation 🙂

Nice to see you have a great guest on such as Roy Harris. Not that classless trash Jeff Glover. Mr. Harris is someone I actually respect. This man is a legend.

All I have to say is wow wow wow I believe the same thing. I teach the same thing in a lot of different little bit of a way, but so close and so much little teeny details that are so important and it’s just good to hear it from such a great man, I love Roy Dean I love his instructor I think only the best, and I want greatness from all the students and I want which all my students all the time it’s not a race it’s a marathon

Bombs of knowledge

Acompanhando aqui do Brasil. Muito bom ouvir o Mestre Roy Harris.

Amazing discussion…

Some great mental jewels! Thank you! Not just for BJJ but for life.

WOW...THAT WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Thank you both for this intervju! So awesome to get a glimpse of mr. Harris wisdom! Proud to say that I am a student within his lineage! Thank you!

I enjoyed his bottomless ears comment People need to talk and he just listens. Much respect

Six Blades/ Ribeiro BJJ guy here but love Professor Roy. Hope to meet him/ train with him one day. His iTunes app (instructionals) are great. I’m a 51 year old purple belt and I like to think his techniques are reflected in my game.

Oss sensei

Looking forward to his instructional for BJJ Fanatic’s!

Jiu-Jitsu is on the precipice of exponential global growth.

bangggger of an interview!

Great interview from a great master. The one minor gripe, speaking from an egineering background, is that Roy's description of the formula being athleticism + technique should be Athleticism * Technique. The math operator should be multiply instead of addition. So if someone has an athleticism of 200 and technique of 10 as a whitebelt, he can beat a Purplebelt with athleticism of 50 and technique of 35. 200*10 is larger than 50*35. If you used the math operator of addition, this formula breaks down.

I really appreciated this sir! Both you Roy Dean and Roy Harris have a certain methodology that I believe everyone in martial arts should absorb into their growth. And I enjoy how you’ve connected spirituality and hope into your teaching as well, just as the Japanese and other “old school” martial artists did as well! Are there any affiliates or instructors you have under you in the Vancouver, BC Canada region by any chance? God bless you sir and all that you do for the martial arts community!

At 24:00 Mr. HARRIS went stoic❤🤙

Prof Harris is aging really well

Absolutely loved this podcast. Roy Harris' life and teaching style is so inspirational, and I love his commitment to Christ too. His methods and teaching materials have certainly impacted my Jiu-Jitsu journey in a such positive way, I'll be buying his new instructional series for sure.

As an IT company consultant , PLEASE put those instructionals in cloud storage. Reply back if help needed. No cost or whatever.

There is no one best style. Take what is effective and incorporate what works. Thank you for the insights.

👍🏻🤘🏻

In the video, Roy Harris mentions Dale. Was he from the Southbay in Los Angeles?

Hey Roy - switched schools after a year - been 2 years at new school 4 stripes white belt - but honestly almost everyone is stronger than me physically. I fight hard but what can I do about the strength/age barrier?

When was this filmed?

Roy Dean must know him since decades, why is he still calling him Mr. Harris? Is the use of the formal term of addressing one’s instructor typical in the US? I just wonder because usually Americans hardly ever use the family name and jump directly to the first name. Or is this something to be done in front of the public and in private they use their first names?
