Out of all the inspirational tests I have watched from the Roy Dean School, this is probably the best. Those black and brown belts took everything from him. If you're holding back the tears at the end, you know you have left it all on the mat. Fantastic!
Yeah, quite inspirational :)
What a herculean effort. I'm a new white belt and I can't even comprehend this moment. Wow. I've seen Chris in other videos. He was a very good purple belt. Much deserved reward for all those years of hard work and dedication. Good for him.
Agreed - he was fed to the lions to take the larger part out of him. We all know, when exhaustion kicks in, your level goes down the drain quickly. The demo of techniques is already a hefty workout. After that, you're getting killed twice.... Solid, solid level of jiujitsu here.
Agreed
he really seemed below par when it came to defending a lot of things in those rolls
So smooth. That dudes takedowns are nasty. Nice job brotha 🤙
Que buenos videos, me encantan. Gracias maestro Roy Dean.
Making every break fall known!
They blue belt should earn his purple just for being able to keep up with him on the attacks 😂🤙🏼 that’s a good partner to do this demonstration with
Very clean!
Wow
Wow this is a great way to make me realise I know nothing.
Hahaha same!
Socrates said the only true wisdom is knowing that we know nothing.
Dude, I was like Damn this is a much higher technical level.
back to white belt 0 stripes :(
that's right you don't :))
Ive never seen a man get pushed to his limits in BJJ harder than this man. He constantly was under pressure, in pain, and "losing" those rolls. But he kept on fighting. He kept going and he showed not only skill, but heart, and desire to succeed. This man did everything in his power to obtain his brown belt and deserves every inch of that fabric. Saying congratulations feels like and understatement.
Watch tournaments ;)
You haven't seen enough lol
We literally go this hard every night, 6 days a week, roll 7 rounds, 6 min each. The big eye opener for me was when I did my first tournament and realized that it doesn't matter what you know if under pressure you can't execute it, by the 2nd tournament I struck gold and now understand what pressure on a small level is. Short answer is yes this man went hard, but if i can still talk at the end of rolling then I didn't go hard enough.
the discipline in BJJ requires such mental state, I am sure you understand
If you think this is tough watch bjj black belt exam
The fight with the young black belt was awesome, shows the difference between being a good well deserved brown belt, and actually achieving a black belt level.
The black belt is really really good, I think there are videos of him doing this crucible test for his black belt.
@@danielcho3270 I've seen his black belt test, it was really intense, but some lower belts gave him hard time, I can see here he got even better.
Yea he has some test and he grew taller compared to the old video
The best rolls for sure! It looked like Chris was drowning in quicksand as the black belt transitioned from position to position. That's not taking anything from Chris, because he was amazing, too!
@@ilyassnejjar6195 if I am not mistaken, Chris was the purple belt that dished out some tough rolls during the young black belt's test. It's amazing how much better the young black belt has gotten since his own test.
Is this dude a judoka? Amazing in all aspects of the game but his take-downs are excellent.
I think he is. Tomoe nage, ippon seoi nage, deashi barai well done
Yeah he's definitely a judoka. You can tell by how he breaks grips and sets up his throws. But from watching Roy Dean's students, they all seem to have better than average throws in comparison to a typical bjj player. Dean is a judo black belt I believe.
Sean Ó Briain why is the word "player " even a thing. yeah jiujitsu is a sport now . but it is a fighting style before anything else .
@@MrFreakinAwesome20 Cuz playa recognizes playa nam sayin?
definitely
Hands down the most beautiful BJJ rolls I’ve seen - oss to Mr. Mikuta - I love this guy’s athletic and violent style
These videos are so well done, good job.
It’s almost like a story, makes me root for the guy to win.
Also, props for the song choices, just adds lots of depth
I used to want to just watch good bjj, and sort of assumed that I would "only" get it via competitions. Then I realised I wanted to watch people roll, not compete so I found great seminar videos from people like Lucas Lepri and the Mendes brothers. But it would be rare to find videos with that consistent excellent jiu jitsu mixed with great video quality.
Then I found Roy Dean and I couldn't be happier.
Watching the level of detail, the sheer willpower and the humble and professional mood throughout the videos just inspire me in so many ways.
Thank you Prof. Dean and everyone else involved in these for the inspiration and for the feeling of something greater in life to pursue.
Roy Dean has by far, the cleanest production when it comes to BJJ. In love with this.
Of all of the “Crucibles”, this was my favorite. He’s so AGGRESSIVE and he’s arguably the most fluid in his techniques of anyone I’ve seen on these videos. Very good combination.
This has got to be one of the most motivating and inspiring bjj videos I've ever watched. Tremendous skill, even with any of the losses and his heart! Gotta just keep on pushing and it'll pay off in the end.
Thank you for this
Chris, From one Brown belt to another, exceptionally well done! Love that smooth color drag brother. Others that have come this far, understand that which words cannot express... congratulations! This, is the closest we have. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
So smooth. In my mind I move like this. On the mat, not so much...
These make me tear up EVERY TIME! Thanks for sharing. Os
Those takedowns tho
2:42 any idea what's it called?
I'm wondering if he has judo skill as well?so flawless throws even to blackbelt (but when down there the blackbelt guy show his level)
@@JacekKlimko That's a collar drag takedown. Here are two instructionals for it:
ua-cam.com/video/zk7vW-Oyki0/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/YNFH_c2d0tQ/v-deo.html
From his stature, looks like he got some Judo skills. Brownbelt perhaps.
Perhaps could be this:
m.ua-cam.com/video/zk7vW-Oyki0/v-deo.html
Man!!!!! dang near had tear's in my eyes when he was tying his brown belt around himself. Definitely not Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, someone please tell me how do I get the chance to train with Professor Roy, DVD something please this is the best Jiu-Jitsu I have ever seen. I live in Rochester NY we have Jiu-Jitsu here but nothing like this.
Roy sells dvd's on his webpage. He also has books. 'Becoming a Black Belt' is very good.
@@mikepeterson4061 after paused the video and wiped the tears from my eyes I saw the link just didn't watch long enough. 😀😄😄 Thanks for the heads up. As a matter of fact I was just doing that, I will check out the book.
Is that Peter rolling with Chris?
it is.
You know so many BJJ practitioners are UA-cam addicts, including me. This video is beautiful. It captures the art. It captures, the technique. It illustrated the perseverance, effort, and love inherent in training. Finally, it truly shows how meaningful a promotion in this art is and should always be.
Man the guy training with him lol. Dude is slammed over and over again with those throws and sweeps. Good video.
That's what I kept thinking too. As a fellow blue belt, I totally know what it's like to be in that position. He did a good job. At several points he's just got his eyes closed while he's getting slammed, choked, and arm barred. That pretty much sums up what it's like to be a blue belt :-)
But beautiful technique by Chris. Well done.
Seeing the difference in Peter from his crucible to this video, he has gotten so methodical. I did notice that as Chris got more tired, he also became a little more thought out in his actions. Not only was this an examination, but I would bet he learned a ton from this experience. From his determination, to his choked back tears, you definitely see his love for BJJ. Congratulations Chris!
no se mucho de bjj como cuanto tiempo demoraria alcanzar el cinturon marron ???
Many great jits videos on UA-cam....but roys channel is amazing...the technique and heart is a beautiful display to watch
This is beautiful because I remember watching Roy’s videos a couple of years back when he got one of his stripes on his black belt. He did a similar gauntlet and his last match was with his master, I forget his name but I was so mesmerized from his style, slow and methodical, that I try to replicate that in my game. No wasted energy, and make every move count. Thank you for sharing all of this! Aloha from Hawaii!
This is by far the most beautiful and exciting test from all Roy's video. This man is so aggressive, determined and skillful. Appreciate his effort in BJJ and people who made this video. Thumbs up!
I rewatched just now...so damn impressive and so well deserved. This video in particular gets to me on a whole different level. Absolutely motivating
I'd be really surprised if that dude didn't have a judo black belt. Very nice throws.
Best BJJ content on youtube by a mile!
I love how all of Roy's students have just inherited his once uniquely exquisite fluidity and how thorough his training, such that from standing, sitting, prone for either attacker or defender, all the techniques look so…effortless.
Not just a true master in his art but a black belt in teaching to boot. Bravo!
He did that little blue belt nasty with that takedown lol
Fast AND smooth. Very inspiring. Great grit and determination. Great match-ups. What a quality organization and quality practitioner! Well done.
The piano, the rustle of the gis and mat = BJJ ASMR
Guy has confident stand up game . Def you can tell he is judoka
RAD at @2:24. Great skills demonstrated here fellas
Finally!! Been waiting for Chris to test for next rank since he tore up the "Peter's Crucible" testing video...stealing every scene!
Man all the techniques in the demonstration are beautiful and flawless!! 😭😭 Great black belt in the first spar!!
so he couldnt beat the brown belt but got a brown belt makes sense
Love the fact that he tried the takedown and missed it. And at 6:30 he went for it again and nailed it. He’s confident in his techniques and knew just because it didn’t work then doesn’t mean it won’t now. He probably hits that on all those guys lol.
"B r o! I'm not crying, you're crying!" 😥
Beautiful Juijitsu from RDA students. Chris’s movement reminded me of a young Alan Shade from the old videos. Well deserved brown belt to Chris, those takedowns were some Bruce Lee level moves. Good to see the complete confidence of Peter, badass.
Are we ever going to get the Biron Higonbotham Black Belt exam?
Chris Vu hes been black belt for awhile now
Begging for that one.
We need to see it!
@@jstreet7204 I know he has been, but we never got a black belt demo video for it. Based on his brown belt one, which was one of the most epic, I was super-excited to hear when he was getting his black.
RoyDean, Amazing video. Your videos shows that your students are well trained and are in shape, and the methodology is sharpen. Very Inspirational, Congratulations!
I can only echo the sentiments of so many other people here and say wow. Beautiful, technical, great heart and class, great energy and what a bunch of excellent people and an incredible coach.
Thanks for sharing that human art with us
Wow...just wow...Roy Dean's students bjj is so crisp and sharp...extremely high levels displayed across all belts!
wow, this guy's moves are so clean, seems like he will be a black belt I believe
I love this promotion, he pushed himself and suffered, he's also super technical and obviously a great judoka, huge props.. Ossss
the judo skills where amazing and a very good jiujitsu as well ...
Two demonstrations in two days! Keep these coming, Roy! Awesome demos from some very well-deserving Jiujitsukas
jiujiteiro i think
This is one of the best videos I ever saw in jiu jitsu if not the best... very inspiring..40 year's two Stripe white belt here...i wish i knew the sport before and I wish to flow someday like these guys..oss
Controlled aggression. His execution was amazing. Then to go against not just a black belt a killer like Peter for his first round was beyond impressive.
Beautiful display. Well earned brown belt.
Awesome display of skills and stamina . From the take downs to the smooth movement and remained calm with excellent breathing . True practioner. Definitely must be a great honour to train under Roy dean . One day I wish to. Come to the USA to train with him and even grade ... osss professor Roy dean
That 06:30 yoko tomoe nage was wicked.
I Remember how much more difficult it got the longer the test went on.......spent. Good for that guy, Grappling Arts are not easy!
That's my coach! He inspires me daily and I appreciate him as a coach and mentor! It's never the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog!
👊
Just beautfull! If i not from brazil certanly go to training in this gym. Nice work there. Congrats! Oss
These belt promotion videos are some of the most beautiful BJJ videos I have ever seen. Keep them coming! You clearly run an excellent school. Oss!
So many of your videos are just pure art.
How on earth could you possibly give this video a dislike??? Amazing level of skill and dedication. The pupils of a master.
The depth of knowledge in Jiu jitsu is insane.. I just started this month and am starting to realize just how good some people are at this stuff. Love it.
so basically I just have to learn as many techniques as I can from all the positions and I can consider myself a black belt
I really enjoy these videos a lot and they teach me a TON, being a beginner. The camera work is incredible. Thank you for these videos Roy!
Absolutely phenomenal!!!
Is there any chance Roy to meet you at a seminar in Europe? I would love to train with you.. Greetings from Sweden!
you guys have a real talent for showing the 'story' within the rolling. amazing, well done, and this guy earned it...
One of the best demonstrations pre the rolling I've seen yet. Chap had great stand up. That first roll with the black belt was full beast mode haha. Roy Deans movement at 13:53 was beautiful to watch.
Both standing and ground techniques were nice to watch.
One can feel the dedication and the will of the purple belt in this video. Congratulations.
Mikuta Matada
Thank you for these videos. They not only bring inspiration, but they make me realize how far I must go even on my BJJ/Judo journey
Truly a beautiful thing to witness. Nothing but art, he is just flowing and not forcing anything, great partner too. Ty for posting.
I’ve never seen a practitioner with this level of clean and crisp techniques.
The skill and smoothness of Roy and his students never ceases to amaze me. I learn so much just watching these demonstrations.
I imagine him dominating Newaza when he goes back to his Judo club.
wow ,,extraordinario...excelentes tecnicas y muy fluidas...very nice...
Showed true grit. Impressive and inspirational. That's a scary brown belt. Osssss
That was awesome, lots of heart and skill shown, congratulations Chris!
So good, and if you y’all read this Pure Rolling and these videos changed my game forever thank you
Te falar viu, poderia ter na minha região alguém que ensinasse um jiu-jitsu tão bonito quanto esse do Roy Dean! Oss!
Peter getting even from his black belt crucible haha... Awesome job Chris great display of heart and determination
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing.
this was so inspiring amazing this is jiu jitsu at its finest as a blue belt this is very humbling
This was AMAZING. Pure heart on the part of the new brown belt.
Scary. When we watch high level competition (ADCC, Worlds, F2W, EBI and so on) we take the monstrous skills for granted and we tend to believe that those guys are simply martians. In this video here you see "normal guys", which makes their skills even more impressive. And frightening.
This man could of been a democrat, a hippie a pot smoker a trans or feminist or lgbtq activist...but he choose to be a BJJ Brown belt! Fucking Awesone!
awesome. this video reminds why i love bjj
I always love watching these vids. I often ended feeling I’m missing something by not having more formalized tests for rank. The random one day get promoted thing feels just different.
That guy's takedown game is too good, I refuse to beileve that he gained this skillset only at a BJJ academy. He definitely did/has done some judo, judging by those throws and trips he could easily be a brown or even a black belt in judo. That would also explain his rather agressive, explosive style of grappling. However, his bjj still does resemble the Roy Dean school, it's fluid and varied, one can tell a mile away where he trains at.
I'm going to get this one day. Dave 4 stripe white belt . The years are against me but just watching this is great for motivation. Just waiting for lock down to end. Thanks Roy.
beautiful
Ossssss congrats 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
I love Chris Mikuta's style, but Peter Hulce (5:38) is a monster.
So glad that you are doing these belt test/demo videos. My absolute favorite.
This is the greatest thing I saw this month! Wow!
I thought he was going too hard in the beginning, he actually kicked his trainer partner in the face when trying to escape the arm bar
Just watching that I feel like the biggest imposter of all time
I think Roy should be the first black belt to be faced because the guy would not be tired.
