Can I just say how impressive Jimmy is?!?! And I think it's really cool that the black belts had no ego about tapping to him. It shows a real since of family, caring and pride in your student.
@CNCTEMATIC: Yes, he is. His pain is utter exhaustion. If you're being tested for a belt upgrade, you will be pushed to the limits of your physical endurance, to see how you perform. When you have almost nothing left in your tank and cannot rely upon strength, all you will have at your disposal is your technique, and that is what your coach will be looking for.
Wow. Off all the demo videos Roy has posted, I don't think I've seen someone make him or Roy Harris tap so much- could be editing. Nonetheless, that was some superb jiu-jitsu. Quality stuff- Roy Dean should be proud.
Truly amazing..I had to keep rewinding it every ten seconds cause I did not believe what I saw. I am a blue belt under Luiz Palhares (got his black from Rickson)..the technique is mindblowing! Congrats!
Great job man! I have to say I really enjoyed watching your smooth, patient and fluid Jiu Jitsu. Keep kicking butt and the best to all of you at the academy!
The more I see of this academy and their beautifully smooth JiuJitsu the more I wonder if this might just be the best place in the world to study the art
If your training to get a certain color belt, just color your white belt whatever you want.... jiujitsu is about knowledge. If that's not what your looking for then you have no business being in jiujitsu. so don't worry about why you haven't gotten your blue belt in 2 years and other people get it in one. Worry about learning, and enjoy the process of learning. :)
@RollingToeHold maybe because it's quite tiring to get a brown belt, so the participant is allowed to have a short break after each "round" and when the participant returns, he is given an applause to encourage him more and to show him respect? :)
@uchideshi been trying to get my blue belt for 2 years and it seems like the more i try the more i get injured.. These new guys are just so young and flexable that it makes us 30 year olds look bad. what you recommend for me to get promoted faster and not get hurt so much? i have some weak ass toes also already broke 1.
@wicked25 I hear ya man. I'm also in my 30's and the 20 somethings are like superhumans compared to me. I just try to enjoy doing bjj and try not to stress about being crappy at it. Each day I try to better myself and have fun at the same time so those have been my motivational factors to continue on. Hopefully that helps you.
@wicked25 I am 42 -- I feel your pain. You may not be able to match a younger guy's cardio - but work on slowing down their pace. Work on strength endurance. Very slow push ups. Count five on the way up and ten on the way down. Same with pull ups and leg raises. Everything to work - not high rep but rather constant pressure. You will start to see you can hold and restrain easier - and set the pace- saving your cardio. Work these things on days off of jui jitsu. Yoga is helpful.
Don't worry about age, flexibility is easy to train if you know how. Most "trainers" and "coaches" don't know how to train flexibility correctly and train it totally wrong. Look up Stretching Scientifically: A Guide to Flexibility Training by Tomas Kurz. The guy is an expert in stretching, I started using his technique 2 weeks ago and my flexibility has already improved, I can now easily kick head high without warmup. He also talks about flexibility for grapplers.
@glockcocker Well I hate to Hijack Mr. Deans comments section. But the difference is Japanese Jujutsu is mostly done standing up. And consist of a lot of things you don't see in modern arts like Judo and BJJ. Like standing wrist locks, joint lock throws, atemi, and etc. The most groundwork done in most Japanese Jujutsu is done from Kneeling or Seiza position. Very few had techniques for getting off your back when you accidentally ended up there. For example look up Takenouchi-Ryu and Daito-Ryu
@BlackShinobiShozoku The thing is, ending up on your back is not an accident as it is predictable and occurs consistently. Yes, many martial artists will try hard to avoid being put on their backs, but even great ones end up in that position sometimes. For the rest of us, it is even more common. The Guard as well as Positional Escapes of BJJ are important when you are on your back.
Professors Roy Harris & Roy Dean are two of the most Awesome Jiu-Jitsu Practitioners in the World!!!! Roy Harris has been thru a lot of BS And truly lives what he teaches his students!!!!
As a 2 year purple belt, watching this video has inspired and humbled me. This was a beautiful display of JiuJitsu, I can't remember the last time I saw somebody transition so smoothly with technical perfection.
I have much to learn and a long road ahead of me, congrats, this brown belt is well deserved
@devinthedewd i watched all your videos, Devin, you have a lot of skill and talent. I'm surprised that at your level, you can't appreciate the beauty and execution of technique in this video. cheers
@hmeboy i meant no disrespect. would just like to see more application. I'm a major fan of Roy Dean and believe he puts together extremely well rounded fighters.
@devinthedewd No worries my friend, I didn't think you meant any. I also would like to see that, I couldn't find any competition footage of Jimmy, which is unfortunate because I think he has incredible technique. Happy training!
@agtren- Oh and your comment "Those rates of progress are for people who train twice a week, don't run, don't lift weights and don't compete" You dont need to weight lift, run or compete to get better at jiu jitsu. Only time on the mat, and lots of time going over the same moves, time and time again, practice, and repition will make you better. A 300 pound bench press, or a 5 mile run wont make you a better jiu jitsu practioner. :)
@StevenVilla19 Brown belt at sixteen, black belt at eighteen-nineteen. Ex. Enricco Cocco (16, brown), Rickson Gracie(18, black). If you do some research, you'll see they are not really that exceptional in achieving that level so early. Lifting weights and running make you a lot harder to beat in competition.;) I found out the hard way. Go compete and see if what I am saying is true or not.
@StevenVilla19 There are guys like Marcelo, and then there are guys like Leo Vieira, Robert Drysdale, and Jacare who pack lots of muscle. Rickson, widely considered the best BJJ guy of all time, was extremely athletic in his youth.
@StevenVilla19 Kron Gracie ripped through the international brown belt divisions before turning eighteen, because everyone thought he was too young to be given a BJJ Black Belt.
I'm going to train today, like I do everyday. Can't just spend all my time persuading people on the Internet to train properly.
@Agtren- First off, if you new anything about Jiu Jitsu, you would know if impossible to attain your black belt at the age of 16. In karate yeah, but in jiu jitsu, you cant even be given your blue belt till youre 16. So youre gonna sit there and tell me a 16 year old can recieve his blue, purple, brown, and then his black belt in the same year? Stop talking about jiu jitsu, and learn a bit more about the sport alot of us enjoy.
I've seen Roy's recent second degree test (congrats to the man who brought all of these bjj videos!), where Jimmy was one of his sparring partners. Although I was a bit skeptical at first, I think Jimmy is on a steady road to Black Belt.
As a brown belt judo practitioner I would usually be giving BJJ guys advice for their takedowns...But shit dude. Your technique is so controlled and slick I can't see any major holes. I hope you get your black belt soon because you clearly have what it takes.
I wanna do gi jiu jitsu so damn bad, i live in a really small town and the only place that offers BJJ Is No Gi, And I Have A Blue Belt in No Gi But I Deff Wanna Do Gi Jiu Jitsu As Well, it Just Looks So Much More Technical...
white as soon as you walk into the school the first time
blue 1.5yrs after white
purple 1.5 yrs after blue
brown 1yr after purple
black 1yr after brown
There are belts after that, but you only need to worry about them if you plan to spend over 30 yrs practicing jiujitsu. The times I put down in yrs are approximate, if you go four days a week at least.
The belts don't mean much, it's the mat experience that really counts, as well as your attitude.
@elbowtko Most people have family and work or education, that's why they can't commit to martial arts. If you do find the time to commit, then your learning accelerates.
@To0t BS. You've been lied to. Those rates of progress are for people who train twice a week, don't run, don't lift weights and don't compete. If you put in more time and take it seriously, you can progress way faster. Plenty of people get their black belt by the time they are eighteen. There are quite a few sixteen year old brown belts around, too. It's not just because they are "prodigees", it's because they love BJJ and spend a lot of time on the mat!
While that might be true for some, coming from roy's gym, I know ALOT of black and brown belts, who should not have been awarded for the belt because of their lack of skill and experience. Steady as they go for belt awarding is the way to go.
Remember that purple belt means you have the SKILL to be an instructor.
@ErcPeace Personally, I don't need a teacher to tell me that I need to put on a blue/purple/brown. I can hang with a lot of intermediate-advanced folk in No Gi, that's where I get the idea of my skill level. I do teach a beginners BJJ class. I feel like my actual skill level is pathetically low and I have to train hard to improve. Although it really doesn't take a genius to show the newbies the abc's and basic concepts of bjj... Kinda like it doesn't take a professor to teach a kid how to read.
@Agtren couldn't agree with you more my friend on the last part, attitude is everything, I used to feel bad for being a white belt for what felt like forever but I really appreciated the experience once I got my blue, I mean I'm still getting tied in knots lol, but the defense skills I learned as a white belt are helping me fend of subs longer and what not.
@Agtren agreed plus alot of people plateau mentally and fall of the train. If you can get through the frustration (which everyone gets) you will be able to achieve these belts
@Agtren Roy Harris states you will need about 1200 hours of mat time to move from blue to purple. That takes five years with six hours of training per week. Honestly, that time span you are suggesting sounds too fast. This isn`t taekwondo. More realistic time span is 1.5 years to blue, 5 years to purple, 2-3 more years to brown and the same to black. 10-15 years to get black belt in BJJ. Unless you don`t have a day job and can train three hours a day.

@Daavisonfire Jiujitsu is like a drug in the sense that it's addicting, but good in small doses. Do not overdose, you may get injured and/or burn out. Basically training five days a week+jog can get you a blue belt in one year. The white belts will think you have got sick technique, the upper ranks will have one more grappling dummy as a toy. Blue belt is more of an initiation rank than anything else. What you have to keep in mind though, is that many instructors will hold you back in rank.
Congrats on the Brown belt you have a great camp there surrounded by good teachers and students. I like the way there is no Ego's and even your instructer is not worried about letting you tap him. This is Jiu Jitsu in it's purest form in my belief. Where I train we dont have a grading system as it is untroditional of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, you are awarded your belt when you have reached the level.
this "jiu jitsu " is not a jj!! bjj comes in a straight line from judo!!! and has nothing to do with the traditional jj. by the way :excellent exam demonstration!!! and gorgeous skills!!
@janubart@janubart You just read other misinformed peoples comments and then you copy and paste them as your own. Mitsuyo meada tought the gracies judo combined with jjj. He did not study judo until he was 18. Before that he studied ten shin shinyo-ryu jiu jitsu. Before he ever met the gracies he fought in challenge fights and relised that some of the techniques that were discarded by the kodokan were effective in real fights.
@janubart From this came the jiu jitsu that he taught the gracies. So ya. Dont know what your talking about or what. Just another judo guy hating on bjj.
Can I just say how impressive Jimmy is?!?! And I think it's really cool that the black belts had no ego about tapping to him. It shows a real since of family, caring and pride in your student.

The belt ranks go like this:
white as soon as you walk into the school the first time
blue 1.5yrs after white
purple 1.5 yrs after blue
brown 1yr after purple
black 1yr after brown
There are belts after that, but you only need to worry about them if you plan to spend over 30 yrs practicing jiujitsu. The times I put down in yrs are approximate, if you go four days a week at least.
The belts don't mean much, it's the mat experience that really counts, as well as your attitude.

@Agtren
1.5 years for purple after blue? hmm guess it depends on what gym.
I think for most people its 2 years to get a blue, and then 3-4 years to get a purple after the blue

@elbowtko Most people have family and work or education, that's why they can't commit to martial arts. If you do find the time to commit, then your learning accelerates.

@Agtren more like 2-3 years to get a blue and 3-5 years to get from blue to purple...
if you are fast you can get black belt in 10 years more if you progress slow
To0t 1 year ago
@To0t BS. You've been lied to. Those rates of progress are for people who train twice a week, don't run, don't lift weights and don't compete. If you put in more time and take it seriously, you can progress way faster. Plenty of people get their black belt by the time they are eighteen. There are quite a few sixteen year old brown belts around, too. It's not just because they are "prodigees", it's because they love BJJ and spend a lot of time on the mat!

@Agtren
While that might be true for some, coming from roy's gym, I know ALOT of black and brown belts, who should not have been awarded for the belt because of their lack of skill and experience. Steady as they go for belt awarding is the way to go.
Remember that purple belt means you have the SKILL to be an instructor.

@ErcPeace Personally, I don't need a teacher to tell me that I need to put on a blue/purple/brown. I can hang with a lot of intermediate-advanced folk in No Gi, that's where I get the idea of my skill level. I do teach a beginners BJJ class. I feel like my actual skill level is pathetically low and I have to train hard to improve. Although it really doesn't take a genius to show the newbies the abc's and basic concepts of bjj... Kinda like it doesn't take a professor to teach a kid how to read.

@Agtren couldn't agree with you more my friend on the last part, attitude is everything, I used to feel bad for being a white belt for what felt like forever but I really appreciated the experience once I got my blue, I mean I'm still getting tied in knots lol, but the defense skills I learned as a white belt are helping me fend of subs longer and what not.

@Agtren agreed plus alot of people plateau mentally and fall of the train. If you can get through the frustration (which everyone gets) you will be able to achieve these belts

@Agtren Roy Harris states you will need about 1200 hours of mat time to move from blue to purple. That takes five years with six hours of training per week. Honestly, that time span you are suggesting sounds too fast. This isn`t taekwondo. More realistic time span is 1.5 years to blue, 5 years to purple, 2-3 more years to brown and the same to black. 10-15 years to get black belt in BJJ. Unless you don`t have a day job and can train three hours a day.

@Agtren The guy I talked to said he got his blue belt after 1 year? What if I go everyday out of the week?

@Daavisonfire Jiujitsu is like a drug in the sense that it's addicting, but good in small doses. Do not overdose, you may get injured and/or burn out. Basically training five days a week+jog can get you a blue belt in one year. The white belts will think you have got sick technique, the upper ranks will have one more grappling dummy as a toy. Blue belt is more of an initiation rank than anything else. What you have to keep in mind though, is that many instructors will hold you back in rank.

Congrats on the Brown belt you have a great camp there surrounded by good teachers and students. I like the way there is no Ego's and even your instructer is not worried about letting you tap him. This is Jiu Jitsu in it's purest form in my belief. Where I train we dont have a grading system as it is untroditional of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, you are awarded your belt when you have reached the level.

this "jiu jitsu " is not a jj!! bjj comes in a straight line from judo!!! and has nothing to do with the traditional jj. by the way :excellent exam demonstration!!! and gorgeous skills!!

charliemurphyslaw 1 year ago
@janubart @janubart You just read other misinformed peoples comments and then you copy and paste them as your own. Mitsuyo meada tought the gracies judo combined with jjj. He did not study judo until he was 18. Before that he studied ten shin shinyo-ryu jiu jitsu. Before he ever met the gracies he fought in challenge fights and relised that some of the techniques that were discarded by the kodokan were effective in real fights.

@janubart From this came the jiu jitsu that he taught the gracies. So ya. Dont know what your talking about or what. Just another judo guy hating on bjj.
