Every sport there is a dominant bodytype. basketball: tall and lanky with a little muscle definition. football: tall heavy with large muscle mass and also some fat. boxing: very low bodyfat, strong core light arms. with jiu jitsu we are all equal. whoever perfects the most technique is dominant. just my opinion
By the comments left here, I can only assume that BJJ in America is turning in to the next Tae Kwon Do. I sincerely hope this isn't true. The only way to keep this from happening is if students seek out legit gyms where the instructors don't pass out belts like candy on Halloween.
Why do so many "fighting styles" revert to two little kids grappling each other on the ground and wrapping themselves around any limb that tries to rise up?
Really loved this video. Top level bjj on display here. Poetry in motion, I hope with plenty of drilling and rolling I will get my purple belt one day.
My son will turn 16 next year. He will get to test for his blue belt, he knows all of the stuff like this guy but he still has to be of age to make the test. At his other studio he got his Black Belt last year because there is on age on when you can test for your belts, it's set on if you have learned that level.
@bill06gto we have a similair system at the Judo school i train you have a minimum time of 6 months between belts but you are able to for instance go from white to orange if you for instance had prior experience, for instance ive been training judo there for 5 years ( im 16 now) and before that i did freestyle wrestling for about 4-5 years, i just passed my brown belt exam yesterday :)
Hey, do any of you guys have the problem of when someone puts you in a reverse triangle, you get a a strain in the ear and its quite sharp?... Its when the neck skin by the ear gets pulled down slightly... Is this normal?
I will soon be a student of Krav Maga while simultaneously studying BJJ. What I love the most about BJJ is the simplicity of the technique. However I'm not saying the techniques are easy but what I mean is once you understand their application in ground fighting becomes simple.
Any tips from Roy or any upper belts on how to get from Blue to Purple? I've been a blue forever, I am clearly better than most blue belts and can hang with purples, I'm thinking more conceptually like a purple would, but there just something lacking, I don't know what. Bigger blue belts give me a hard time.
@BigolePappy2 more technique is required when going against bigger heavier guys, as you know they normally try to stack you and break your closed guard and use their weight etc. which you need to use more logic and smoother technique like Caio terra does I think he is 145 pounds and he spars with bigger guys so he uses more technique and leverage to overcome it is not impossible, I normally use the basic of posistions with bigger guys, great example Roger gracie, hope this helped my friend :)
My advice is study a style you're most interested in. Why study a style you have no interest in no matter how practical for streetfighting it is? For me, I always loved flashy kicks so I study Taekwondo. I'm not a fan of grappling but I respect it.
@rockos414 Yeah, where I'm from you win enough in competition and show technique on par with the purple belts, you're considered ready. Still takes a long-ass time, but there's no formal exam.
@rockos414 Some practitioners believe in a full curriculum...thats how I have always been and seen grading. From a one sided perspective its pretty awesome to see the techniques vary in different belts.
@GarlandBJJ It's difficult to pinpoint what techniques should be required for "purple", or any other color for that matter. I like to think it's not what you know, but how well you can use what you know.
I agree, bj is one of the most advanced martial arts where the littlest things can make the biggest difference..and what it does is you can be much smaller and alot weaker but still effectivly beat your opponent
Bjj isn't very old and bjj blue belt is really a black belt in other martial arts. The blue requires black belt skill in other of the arts! That's why it's so amazing.
@TehPenar I can throw the blue and purple belts... the brown belts tend to pull guard... the black belts are just as good as i am with there throws... though i think my gripping and movement is better... doesnt matter. i throw, then get tapped out 10 seconds later :)
@BrazilianMMAKing Its not just BJJ...once you get it you will understand ALL martial arts are ALL IN THE HIPS. Its all about the way the body activates the muscles and is able to be flexible with power. Without good hip control, you will be stiff and not able to defend or even attack correctly. Its similar for striking; the power from alot of strikes comes from the ground up, through the hips, out the arm (or leg).
@DrVoltage1 Thank you for the wonderful advice..! :) I've been considering starting with some BJJ .. But there's not much 'open-source' information to stumble upon, I have questions! :D Are there any hits/kicks in this sport.. Is it mostly a 'sport' or a genue fighting style? :)
@Malteboy777 Im not an expert on BJJ, but as far as i know there is no striking and it is mostly a sport. I'm not saying it doesnt have combat applications, but good luck ground fighting a guy who is in a group without getting destroyed. Japanese Jiu Jitusu incorporates striking, throws, and even some weapon training. If you can find a dojo for that I would highly suggest it if you want to be more well rounded. Otherwise BJJ is a great sport art that strengthen technique, body, and intelligence
@BrazilianMMAKing When standing, your hips are your base. If your weight falls past your hips, or your opponent gets his own weight under your hips, you're easily thrown off balance. On the ground, your hips are the key to moving. If you can move your hips, you can control where you go. And likewise, if your opponent can control your hips, he controls your ability to move effectively. You throw with your hips. You shrimp with them. Get your armbar. Guard pass. You name it.
@14thDynasty not true my friend. in mma kick boxeing matters very much too. i am a martial artist and i know kick boxeing, Vee arnis jitsu and wresteling, how ever i have sparred with peapole in judo, Kempo Karate, krav maga, and many other disciplines. there all good two know. how ever i will say in mma its good to have a standing art and a ground art.
@ct7320 thanks alot :), guessing u do bjj, how long does it take to go threw the belts ?, am thinking of starting, bin doin catch for a while, and also do muay thai, u think bjj and muay thai go together well, i always thought so but i recently bin told otherwise ?
@JuSKallday depends what you're aiming for. if you want to do mma they go well together yes, but if you go to different clubs to train in each it will be up to you 'mix up' the styles eg throw some strikes then go for a takedown. best to find an mma gym, if thats your goal. it takes the average person 8-12years to get a bjj black belt, if they keep training 2-3 times a week. faster if you train 4-5 times a week.the secret is to keep traing,no matter what.the more you train,the faster you progres
@ct7320 thanks, yeah i went to a mma gym for like 2 weeks, 3 times a week and it felt like medioca bjj and medioca muay thai, thats why think i should train at a specialized bjj place and muay thai place and in a few years go to a mma club just to put them together, thanks bro
This is beautiful beyond a boubt. Excellent display of Jiu Jitsu.
During the demonstration part of the exam though i had hard time distinguishing between JJJ and BJJ. His Uke was compliant. He executed his techniquies with out active resistance even though he had to prove himself in the end.
As a man who studys both and all variations of jiu jitsu, could a pure BJJ proponent please explain how this demo is any different than some of the better JJJ vids i've seen?
Your question inspired me to find some: These are the first two I found: watch?v=0nl901nrUrc or watch?v=3S9sul-kE7I
The tech and combos shown in the Roy Dean video are only a tiny sample of the knowledge of that purple belt. He wanted to showcase his game and show some of his favorite tech. He could pull off most of what he showed, at will, against whitebelts his size I am sure. Contrast this to the jjj video where the moves are for demonstration only.
Man do I love Gracie JJ... The only problem really though is that with the popularity of MMA now, tons of MMA dojos are just on the BJJ money-wagon now and rarely have any students that are truly representative of their belt level. For example, I once went to a school that had nearly half the class being "black belts", yet I was tapping out the vast majority of them and I had only been training in BJJ for like 4 months at the time. Quite sad if you think about it.
@TurdFurginson ya, but what is your skill level with jjj or other variations? Also some gyms give belts from time in and not necessarily skill acquired. For instance, at my gym, as long as you show up 2 times a week, you can progress to a blue belt in 8 months, but the guy who comes 5 times a week is going to be much better.
@1tmoch I wrestled for a year before I started training in MMA, but ya I just think people should be rewarded on overall knowledge and to some extent their ability to submit others on the same skill level rather than sheer time attending classes.
@TurdFurginson Tell the same story without the details of how bad ass you are... Lol it ruins its credibility. I know what you're talking about, but I think if you went to any MMA/BJJ gym here in Oregon you'd get beat up on after having only 4 months of training.
@slorunR1988 I never meant to sound like a badass, cause I know in the martial arts world I'm certainly not. I was just commenting on how theres a lot of McDojos out there that have "black belts" that can't even pull off a proper triangle or execute good takedowns. I agree about the Oregon thing, same goes for pretty much any credible gym.
I'm a 2nd Dan in Freestyle Karate and I have implemented alot of ground work into our training. If I went up against a Blue belt in BJJ, I'd be tapping out in secounds. Wish we had BJJ in my town. Great clip. An inspiration for other styles to adapt to BJJ.
Interesting teaching technique. where I train you get the belt when our instructor 'feels you have earned it', but I must admit I like this type of grading.
Not taking anything away from the guy, hes deffinetly at purple belt level, very good sweep/triangle and armbar combinations, but I find it very interesting that there was not a single back ascape technique shown at the beginning, also no north south escape both of which I think are vital white belt techniques.
Every sport there is a dominant bodytype. basketball: tall and lanky with a little muscle definition. football: tall heavy with large muscle mass and also some fat. boxing: very low bodyfat, strong core light arms. with jiu jitsu we are all equal. whoever perfects the most technique is dominant. just my opinion

This is beautiful beyond a boubt. Excellent display of Jiu Jitsu.
During the demonstration part of the exam though i had hard time distinguishing between JJJ and BJJ. His Uke was compliant. He executed his techniquies with out active resistance even though he had to prove himself in the end.
As a man who studys both and all variations of jiu jitsu, could a pure BJJ proponent please explain how this demo is any different than some of the better JJJ vids i've seen?

Do you have any jjj videos to share?
Your question inspired me to find some: These are the first two I found: watch?v=0nl901nrUrc or watch?v=3S9sul-kE7I
The tech and combos shown in the Roy Dean video are only a tiny sample of the knowledge of that purple belt. He wanted to showcase his game and show some of his favorite tech. He could pull off most of what he showed, at will, against whitebelts his size I am sure. Contrast this to the jjj video where the moves are for demonstration only.

Man do I love Gracie JJ... The only problem really though is that with the popularity of MMA now, tons of MMA dojos are just on the BJJ money-wagon now and rarely have any students that are truly representative of their belt level. For example, I once went to a school that had nearly half the class being "black belts", yet I was tapping out the vast majority of them and I had only been training in BJJ for like 4 months at the time. Quite sad if you think about it.

@TurdFurginson ya, but what is your skill level with jjj or other variations? Also some gyms give belts from time in and not necessarily skill acquired. For instance, at my gym, as long as you show up 2 times a week, you can progress to a blue belt in 8 months, but the guy who comes 5 times a week is going to be much better.

@1tmoch I wrestled for a year before I started training in MMA, but ya I just think people should be rewarded on overall knowledge and to some extent their ability to submit others on the same skill level rather than sheer time attending classes.

@TurdFurginson Tell the same story without the details of how bad ass you are... Lol it ruins its credibility. I know what you're talking about, but I think if you went to any MMA/BJJ gym here in Oregon you'd get beat up on after having only 4 months of training.

@slorunR1988 I never meant to sound like a badass, cause I know in the martial arts world I'm certainly not. I was just commenting on how theres a lot of McDojos out there that have "black belts" that can't even pull off a proper triangle or execute good takedowns. I agree about the Oregon thing, same goes for pretty much any credible gym.

I'm a 2nd Dan in Freestyle Karate and I have implemented alot of ground work into our training. If I went up against a Blue belt in BJJ, I'd be tapping out in secounds. Wish we had BJJ in my town. Great clip. An inspiration for other styles to adapt to BJJ.

Interesting teaching technique. where I train you get the belt when our instructor 'feels you have earned it', but I must admit I like this type of grading.
Not taking anything away from the guy, hes deffinetly at purple belt level, very good sweep/triangle and armbar combinations, but I find it very interesting that there was not a single back ascape technique shown at the beginning, also no north south escape both of which I think are vital white belt techniques.

That's beautiful. But it looked so painful near the end though when he has to take on all the black belts, haha.
