Thanks for watching A Ninja Gets His BJJ Black Belt | Hardee's Crucible | Martial Arts Exam
Hardee is such an inspirational guy and man what a school he has. Watching him roll and his demo was truly inspirational, he's the real deal. What an AMAZING seminar this was. It was my first time at a different school than the one I train at and holy smokes, were there a lot of killers in the room, skill wise. But everybody was so amazing and helpful, all the RDA affiliates and even the cameraman (Demarcus) showed me a technique that I instantly loved. I love this art and the jiu jitsu community so much. Congratulations Hardee on a major, major life milestone. I hope to be there one day.
It's crazy how a lot of these submissions I know, but to watch somebody string them together so beautifully, makes it look like something to aspire to for me. I enjoyed this!
There are no black belt techniques, only white belt techniques mastered to a black belt level :)
I love how Roy keeps the Japanese in Jiu Jitsu. Thats where it came from. Its hard to take the Judo out of the man and his principles. I see no other BJJ school like it. Its great.
Not only is it where it came from it’s judo jujitsu is just some words flung around the marketing tool
I notice John danaher also uses words like"uke"; "Tori" and "kuzushi" as well.
Same where I trained. Its a good habit and tradition.
It really is beautiful to see how he keeps judo and Jiujitsu together the way it’s supposed to be … I do both so I recognize the aspects
Bjj would gain a lot if there where these “bushido” codes and ethics on the math. A lot.
Guy was willing to be put to sleep just for a promotion test. What dedication. Phenomenal technique and sparring. Congratulations sir.
So gentle with those takedowns and escapes. The man has control.
So proud of Hardee's martial arts story. He is one determined guy, and he made it happen. Salute as well to Roy Dean, for his kind and open minded guidance of Hardee.
Thank you for supporting his exploration, Master Hayes. Hardee is a phenomenal martial artist.
"It's a pleasure to introduce Hardee Merritt as a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu " = grown ass man crying at his computer. Gets me every time.
That Was Gold Standard !
PS I've been around Martial Arts for 45yrs, I'm 50yrs young now, started when I was 5yrs.
Bro this was amazing, I've never seen someone land two helicopter armbars in the same class sparring.
Right?! Yeah, he's a beast with those. I haven't rolled with Hardee in a while, but he's probably helicopter armlocked me more in live rolls than anyone else has combined. It can be a fancy or tricky technique for a lot of people, but for him I think it's one of his more bread and butter movements.
I always cry at the end of these videos... not because they get a new belt but because I know the journey isn't easy. The purpose though is so heartfelt and to know you've accomplished something worthwhile is and always has been rewarding. Congrats and Roy you really are a role model.
I’m not crying, you’re crying. Lol. Thought I was the only one brother. Truly inspiring. 🤙🏽🥋
Hardee teaches my sons and is a wonderful instructor
Roy Dean was one of my favorite RUclips instructors when I first started training BJJ 11 years ago. His black belt testing is legendary. And I’ve never seen a high level black belt humble himself like he did in this video (if you know you know). Would be honored to roll with him someday.
We know, he humbly pushed his student to the finish line. Oss
yea he makes it look good like they actually got it
This bloke looks like he could tap out a boa constrictor - props to you, Hardee, you clearly deserve it!
Or a guy with more chins than a Chinese

My brother from another mother. I am so proud of you. I’ve known you for almost 20 years my friend and you are truly a martial artist that is not only a role model but also amazing to watch. Your technique has always been polished and flawless my hat goes off to you and I thank you for always being there for me. I hope and wish your journey through the martial arts world continues to widen. My brother you need a place in the martial art Hall Of Fame. Love you bro.
Hardee was my first martial arts instructor, and a huge reason I got into BJJ. Super happy for him earning his black belt! I was really looking forward to the eventual Hardee Merritt crucible video on Roy's channel once I'd heard that he and Hardee linked up. Tough rolls! Way to dig deep gut through. Great use of the helicopter armbar in live rolls too.
Man, I got choked up watching this! As a 3 stripe white belt, I can only imagine how this feels - the sense of accomplishment, etc. I hope I am lucky enough to reach this level some day
You will man keep working you got this
You Will 👊🏽🙂 just never stop Rolling
have you received your blue belt,yet?😄
@@xRazvan-rn5qb yeah, got it December last year
Hardee, I'm 49 and I just started training BJJ a few months ago. You make it look so beautiful my friend! Thank you for the inspiration and the brilliantly executed technique! OSS!
So proud of Hardee, this journey for him, and forever grateful to be one of his students and friends.
Love that Roy is always the final boss of the game 🙏🏼
These videos are amongst the best there is. It is what I wish my black belt promotion will be, if I ever get there. Fantastic work.
This was the best one. Amazing fight in him. True inspiration.
This dude is slick, that’s a well deserved black belt.
Hardee has some very special balance and use of himself as a fulcrum. Gratz to him he deserves it.
The thing I like about these technical demos is that it really puts into perspective the shear volume of material you learn over your bjj journey. Do we use all these techniques all the time? Of course not but you pick up so much knowledge along the way that it's really cool to be able to go through all of it in a manner that shows it like this. It's like a review of all of your theory. You also get a flavour of Hardee's style by watching how he executes because everyone has their own way of doing the same techniques. Congrats Hardee, huge accomplishment, best of luck moving forward as a black belt, heavy lies the crown as you've mentioned - be good to your neck and your fingers! Roy always coming in at the end when guys are in bits LOL, he has perfected the art of applying the perfect amount of pressure/resistance to challenge people to dig deep when they are on the edge of exhaustion. Always love these videos. Thanks to @roydean and team.
Brings tears to my eyes every time that black belt is presented. The devotion, the sacrifice, the pain. Only a few of us really understand this. Great job!!!
That dojo set up is absolutely awesome! Perfect mix of traditional & modern
His game is very technical and his Blackbelt is well deserved... Congrats!
I've watched most of the belt tests you've put out. They are all amazing, but this one was extra cool. Keep them coming, this is some of the best BJJ content on the interwebs!
This is the true Art . the true meaning of jiu jitsu . jiu jitsu is not about wining in competition and get medals only . it is full of areas of knowledge you learn during your journey . well Done Hardeep and congrats for your black belt
He really hits the helicopter arm bar at will. Beautiful to watch.
Great video! Darce entry by Roy was slick. Hardee’s got the flying armbar down too!
I was about to call Roy a savage for coming out last and tapping him straight up, but then he goes on to give him some easy subs.
Wow I’m actually emotional… this video was super inspiring… congratulations bro ooosss
That was the best example of BJJ I have seen on the internet.
These takedown combinations... Fantastic!
Go to a Judo gym if you want to see more takedowns
Congrats (from Valente Brothers Jiu Jitsu, Miami).
These black belt promotions are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
That Blue Belt should get a stripe for his effort!
He's the best Uke in the world!
That’s a true statement!
Which effort?
Roy dean only gives stripes for white and black belts as far as I have notice 😀 , well I have started a month ago and I cant stop watching Roy dean's videos 😀
Dude tapped like 77 times
Smooth movement is an understatement Hardee. Fantastic display of your talent and skill my friend. Bravo!
Roy is such a professional. His love for his students in clearly evident.
Congratulations, Hardee - my friend! You are an inspiration! Thanks for posting, Mr. Dean.
Interesting that the subtitles read "Helio" when he says "Royce"
Thank you for posting other black belt journeys like this! You can see how much each person gives of themselves to achieve this, it's beautiful to watch.
Incredible, inspirational demo and crucible. Snake Eyes better watch his back.
wow, this is one of the best demonstrations i´ve ever seen. very clean techniques and great execution. well done Hardee, a true martial artist!
I swear all of the RD higher belts have just amazing, fluid styles. Beautiful. That take down to triangle setup was just amazing, along with most of the other techniques on display. Inspiring.
It’s nice when you get the back end story of peoples lives. He was flawless. Blue Belt partner needs to be commended for his efforts as well✊🏽👍🏽💪🏽!!
Congrats to Hardee.
Roy Dean is an absolute savage!
20:02 Dude went to sleep to legitimize that you beat him fully
Bad sports man ship with the brown belt. He was ready to snap on the kimura that roy dean called tap on and was ready to go out cold in the bow and arrow choke. Just tap people. It’s like medicine. No one wants it but it’s good for u. Lose the ego. 💯
Music was so appropriate for Hardee vs Roy Dean, he was definitely the final boss
This one made me cry. Powerful man
Towards the end of the Roy Dean roll when he is breathing so hard and is so tired, every sinue in my body is feeling it with him and will him on. Massvie congrats dude!
It was an watching journey as he rose through the various levels to become a Brazilian Black under the highly respected Roydean! We done! Well done!
Coach Al
I like that Hardee is tightly moving over his training partner the more he keeps the principal the easier he get's holds and locks. In my experience this principal is underrated but nice seeing him doing it awesomely 🔥🤙🏼
This is a true QUEST for knowledge - on this individual's martial arts journey - if you try and test something - and see that it's useful - go and study it - bravo to you, sir.
I want to be like you Roy! one day! the ease and flow of transition are beautiful. Thank you for these videos, I love them and they keep me awake during my overnight shifts.
What an absolute beast. If I could pick one person to train under, Hardee Merritt would be it.
I am honored to have seen the start to this journey. Proud of you man and keep up the great work. Smoke bombs all day!
Black belt well earned... Ninja uniform complete. Congrats!
What a beautiful and amazing display of technique and a very emotional and powerful promotion ceremony. That was just awesome! Congratulations to Professor Merritt!
Don't ya earn your Professor stripes 18 months after receiving your BJJ black belt??? Or is that just the Gracie and Machado organizations?
Very insprational! Just started Brazilian jiu jitsu with a ninjutsu background. Thanks Professor Hardee and congratulations
hahah, "I wanted to be a ninja". Love it. Training MMA now for 2 years and really enjoy the comparison to other martial arts. Great video. thanks
Genuinely among the most beautiful videos I've seen. It's spectacular.
I know this is a demo, but this is impressively smooth overall. Great work.
Amazing and inspirational to watch. No B.S. I actually teared up when he received his Black Belt. Thank you for sharing your journey Sir and congratulations.
Beautiful display of the art, and well deserved. Congrats Hardee!
I have no clu about BJJ, but that black belt is well earned. Dude already has a signature move. what a boss
Wow!! Congratulation, Hardee! This is absolutely incredible beauty of the demonstration of your inner soul. Total respect. Enjoy your Jiujitsu journey and your life. Be good to yourself. 🙂🙂
Awesome display of fluidity and control from everyone of them well deserved

Beautiful job Hardee! It’s been a long time coming… Super proud of you!
Cara… eu não sei descrever nem o que senti assistindo esse video. Todo esse respeito, admiração, honra que eles tem pelo nosso esporte, é maravilhoso de ver o quão valorizado é fora do nosso País. Eu só tenho como ficar feliz e com esperança de que um dia teremos esse mesmo nível de maturidade dentro dos nossos dojos brasileiros.
obs: esse cara do vídeo é técnica PURA, merecidíssimo a faixa preta. Oss!
Every time I watch one one these. It brings a tear to my eye. Absolutely beautiful. So much respect... Cangrats on the milestone.
Roy Dean sensei, great job! 素晴らしい！
Well earned! He's very talented. Also, that dojo is beautiful.
Love this! I'm a blue belt in BJJ and I want to level up like Hardee 🤜🏾🤛🏾🙏🏾
these videos are the absolute best, as a jiu jitsu guy myself i find so much inspiration from these videos! great job! great job, these video shows real determination and will power as well as how great BJJ is

I'm always impressed Roy Dean, the ethics and the mat time really show, good work! Congrats to another well deserved BB. 🙏🏽🤙🏽
You move good!!! I like how you use the whole spectrum (down to the wrist lock) of submissions in each position! Also, your Judo is🔥
Mesmerizing to watch. Love how quickly he is thinking - transitions between the techniques are very fast
Talent, Class & Respect!
Don't know who these people are but congrats!
One of the best vídeos I've seen... really nice and resembles old jiu jitsu tapes.
What an awesome and inspiring Video! Roy I have watched your channel for years now and your videos have such depth and emotion to it and perfect music to go with it. My favorite BJJ channel on RUclips by far!
Congratulations to you Hardee! An intense accomplishment. You are officially more terrifying than before...and that's saying something. Good thing you're such a wonderful person :-)
The combination demo is so motivating as a white belt
Becoming a black belt is such an overwhelming feeling. When I received mine in 2013 in Tang Soo Do, it was probably one of the happiest moments in my life.
Congratulations. Your an
Inspiration of many others. Well done sensei. Another great teacher made into a better sensei by you, Sensei Dean.
Congratulations, Hardee! Well done!
Thank you sir!!
