What means the most to me about these videos is watching not just the person being tested but the ones doing the testing. All of Dean's crucibles, especially at the higher levels, demonstrate a respect that is admirable. It's not about going as hard as you can and trying to beat up your opponent, it's about challenging them, putting them in situations and forcing them to react. I really saw that here in the second round with Hardee Merritt. Nothing is given for free, but when a technique was applied properly there was progress. On the other hand when an opening was presented, it was taken. That's what a test should be, not just an opportunity to brag about who tapped who how many times. I'm always awed by the high technical level of Dean's students, they're all next level. Congratulations and thanks for being an inspiration for all of us.

This is jiu-jitsu. I am amazed. The respect, the discipline, the fluidity, this is just a masterful and beautiful display of movement, technique, and everything I believe BJJ to be. We live in a world that is beginning to lack respect for the tradition and honour that the early masters believed were essential to forging a well rounded leader and human being strong in body and mind. But this is a clear display of it's value and benefits. You can feel this man's control and focus through the screen. I'm a purple belt who's lucky enough to train under Jeff Joslin. Jeff is by far the best professor I've ever had and one of the few instructors left who test for belts, something I'm extremely proud of and grateful for. The only belt we don't test for is black. What I'm seeing in this video is an example of familiarity with positions, transitions and combinations that I don't think most Black belts could demonstrate with such ease. I would absolutely love to get my black belt this way and I wish this test was available to outsiders. Making the trek to a remote location so I can challenge myself by putting on a demonstration like this in front of other legitimate black belt peers would be a dream. Thank you for sharing this. Oss 🙏🥋

I'm not even 10 minutes in and Ray is one of my favorite crucibles that I've ever seen. His blend of technique, personality, and immersion of other arts really show in his game. Holy crap the hand throws remind me of kenpo

@MaruSFDojo 8 ай бұрын

The hand throws or wrist locks came from both Aikido and Shorinji Kempo. Some of the disarms are from Kali (Filipino Martial Arts). Thank you for watching.

There's no shame in it. Thank you for having the courage to share your feelings. It takes guts. If you think it's a long way, just keep "walking" and someday you'll get to where you want to go. In the meantime, cherish the new friendships along the way.

Stunning narrative, fantastic performance, and overal beautiful, pure energy of respect and humility. With the last 20 second you made me cry. Master Roy, may you be happy, healthy and free from bondage of any kind, may all what you wish for manifest in your life for the good of you and all sentient beings.

@anthonyharvey8571 6 ай бұрын

I used to train under Cesar Clavijo (white & Red GI) at his Gym in South Carolina (2017). What beast, he always had so much Poise on the mat. He was a brown belt at the time but honestly had he been under anyone els he would have already had his black. Just a testament to how truly deserving these guys are and how much it really is earned.

@saikaungkhantko5216 7 ай бұрын

I wanna learn that kind of bjj, not just only sports. I can feel by just watching this video not only the art of Brazilian but also the traditional art of japanese which is good for self defense. 90 percent of the school in US, they just focusing on the sport type(butt scooping) and they don’t even teach for self defense anymore which is sad. And no doubt for this guy, he can definitely use his technique on the street or on the mat. Great works.
