Thanks for watching the video ⚫ Michael's Crucible | Jiu Jitsu Black Belt | Martial Arts Highlights
this guy has beautiful jiu jitsu. not big man jiu jitsu either, he moves so nimble like hes 150 pounds. i really like these displays, theyre showing their techniques theyve mastered throughout the years just like a painter or dancer would do.
Yes he does.
A real BJJ Black Belt! Big guy moving like a little guy! Great Job! Clean
took all the words out of my mouth. Inspiring.
I swear all of the Roy Dean school is like this. Insanely smooth and pretty BJJ.
I second that! 🙏🏼 A beautiful and artistic display of skills and heart! 😎❤
"I'd like to introduce Michael Hooker as a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu "
Tears me up every time 😌
Hell yea it did
2nd Crucible I watch 2nd time I almost cry
Everytime
Like some sort of hero . 🔥🔥
Roy Dean captures the beauty and art of Jiu Jitsu like no other filmmaker. Always look forward to his uploads.
check out 'The Art of Skill' I believe he is the the film maker and black belt of Roy Dean. He has a beautiful style and presentation!
Yep. I love the piano background. I’d love to come train with these guys someday.
@@iwillfall Thanks for the heads up.
I feel for the guy rolling with Michael. Can’t be easy getting tapped that many times by a black belt so quickly. Incredible demo.
That first match was a demonstration. Not a roll like normal. Just showing his beautiful techniques. The rest were rolls. Cheers bro
@@Junior.CS998 Oh I hear ya, it's a demo, but I'm looking at the grimace at 5:40 :)
I can't get over how calm and composed Roy seems. With a teacher like him, I'm sure people learn twice as fast as they normally would. You seem like an amazing person (and professional)!
That's some of the cleanest execution I've ever seen. I've only been doing it for 3 years, but I know a master when I see one.
I've been watching these for months, but I just started BJJ like 3 weeks ago. It's cool to see something and go "Hey I just practiced that!"
Granted, there's only like 4 techniques out of the whole technique demo that I've had 1 or 2 practices with, but it's cooler than when I just watched thinking "man I bet he's doing so much stuff that I know nothing about" lol
Proud to have this man as a friend and watch one hell of a demo.
I've seen 2nd and 3rds that don't roll that smooth. This guy has talent...big talent. And his technique is so crisp. A pleasure to watch
I dont know which is better…that guy’s jiu jitsu…or how freakin great that academy and the spirit level was.
Chris Mikuta never got nooooo chill for anybody 😅
this is the first Test from Roy Dean that the tested guy is actually smilling in the roll.. And I fkin love it :D congratz on the deserved Black belt
Absolutely incredible. The demonstrations truly represent how beautiful of an art Jiu Jitsu really is
I had the pleasure of meeting Michael and his wife at a seminar put on by Professor Dean in NC this weekend. Just an amazing, amazing, salt-of-the-earth guy and he helped me and other students with details on the techniques being taught.
It was pleasure to assist and meet so many kind, talented, and humble people. I made the comment to Professor Dean that I was impressed at how good even the early white belts’ fundamentals were. It was obvious to me that I walked into a true academy of learning and not another gym.
That was sick. Homeboy moves like a panther for a bigger guy.
8:30 My dude in the green gi with the blue/purple belt is just enamored with what’s going on. Absorbing it all. Look at his face.
Beautiful demonstration Mike.
Michael is so fluid and natural with each move. Every detail in each move and variation is intentional. I Haven’t been in jiu jitsu for a long time but this was excellent
Michael is such a great guy, and this is well deserved! Congratulations, Michael!!!!
Finally.. a video of someone just executing clean techniques... pause, rewind, repeat..
Mahalo from Maui, Hawaii.
Amazing, I really like how Roy Dean integrates tradition and makes a black belt promotion a very special moment. It should be ceremonious, as it is here.
Congratulations to you Michael, from a fellow brown belt in Hong Kong. A beautiful moment celebrated like it should be. Super nice technique 🔥🔥🔥☺️
Absolute savage. He doesn’t beat you, every move he did had killing intention. I watched in awe as he demonstrated the intent of Jiu jitsu
Man, everyone of these videos is done so well. Truly inspiring to watch. Congrats to Michael and props to Roy Dean for his dedication to his students and the art of BJJ.
I love how at the end you have to roll with Roy Dean. Nothing is given, everything is earned.
Knowing the dedication it takes to get to that point, it brings a proud tear to a man's eye, and I've never met you. Well done, great job!
i remember first seeing this guy in "No Mercy for Old Men | A Jiu Jitsu Movie | Rick Ellis Black Belt" and noticed how beautiful his jiu jitsu was. Congrats!
1:39 beautiful sweep. What’s up my fellow WHITE BELTS!!!!
This is soooo beautiful I want to cry !….. big inspiration . I’m a 5’11 250 pound power lifter just started my BJJ journey and this guy is one of the few big dudes that I’ve seen move how I would want to move when ever I reach his level … great flow in all his transitions it’s just Beautiful.
whoa! 5/11 and 250. monster! how is the training going?
I love coming back to watch these Crucibles as my knowledge grows. Spotting and appreciating details I didn't know a year or 6 months ago. Also its a good reminder of how far I've come on my journey.
This is like being a piano enthusiast And getting to watch Mozart play
This may be the nicest compliment I’ve ever received 🙏.
Clearly the guy who should of got his black belt earlier and makes all the black belts feel better once he has it
Wow I love his passes
@ROYDEAN : You and your students move so different then anything else ive ever saw on the mat u can tell your students and yourself are 1 with the art it shows from both students and instructor . You should be proud of caliber of students u are producing cuz its not something u see everywhere
What an amazing display of technique and artistry. These videos are always so inspirational.
Jiu-Jitsu truly pushes you to the limits of who you thought you were and what you could handle. It's truly enjoyable and an honor to join you on your journey.
The amount of goose bumps on got when introduced as a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu… I look forward to that day.
It's about hard work, dedication and the journey!! Beautiful!!
a truely beautiful display. roys uploads are the best for witnessing the art
This guy is a technician and the grace mixed with sudden burst of movement are very eloquent. This is a masterful demo. Much respect to everyone involved. Domo Arigato
That was amazing to watch, Michaels jiujitsu is beautiful. Not a single person watching his demonstration can question his jiujitsu or his belt. For a person to be able to put together such a smooth example of their skills is a task in itself.
I watch Roy Dean technique sequences at .5 speed and still I go back many times. Always crisp and powerful. So good to see and learn from.
I'm not a fan of bjj, but the way he demonstrated these techniques so powerfully and gracefully really got me.
I'm curious, Benjamin. What makes you not a fan?
Look up the rest of these promotions through the Roy Dean lineage...including Roy Dean's videos about the different belt levels.
There seems to be an emphasis on this fluidity in transitions.
Love these Crucibles. I often look for new-to-me techniques that I can try in my next class.
Congrats, Roy. Mike is a compliment to your work as a teacher.
This was 1 helluva performance. Very smooth and efficient BJJ. I enjoyed this a lot. Much respect to all the Jujitsukas. Respect to the photographer for capturing the elegance of this demonstration.
Congrats Michael! A long road travelled up until now. Great efficiency in your transitions during your demo. Best of luck to you as a black belt!
Oh nah, I just got into BJJ and by FAR this guys arsenal is something I definitely look at as an ART!
Gotta love Roy Dean’s students. Encourages me to do beautiful jiujitsu each time. @Roy Dean please come to the UK for a seminar.
I love your videos Roy, the stories are wonderful and I’m learning so much from them. Also I appreciate watching the way that you treat your students, you give them lots of resistance but you don’t overdo it.
Look how proud/happy Roy looks when he gives him the belt. Super nice. Congrats!
The amount of knowledge this guy has ...just shows how good his professor was.
Awesome Jiu Jitsu, nice samurai painting on the wall
Man, these videos are so Inspirational and just want to make me cry.
True, long lasting happiness and self-fulfillment comes from decades of excruciating hard work and dedication. Congratulations!
What a beautiful scene. So well done and produced so well.
That was one of the most beautiful demonstrations I have ever seen!
This is one of the best jiu jitsu videos I've found online anywhere. I can't stop watching it :D
Holy crap this is epic. This man not only earned a black belt, but my respect as well. Congrats on the promotion!
I think your vision for a school and what it means to become proficient in technique is something very special. These videos are well done, Professor Dean.
Dont know the guy but im tearing up. Beautiful ceremony. BJJ is beautiful and you capture it so well.
This dude can move! Congrats on the monumental achievement.
That is some of the most beautiful technique I've ever seen, especially for a big guy! So nimble, no power, all fluid technique. Beautiful.
Seriously impressed with the female brown belt getting out of some bad positions from a much bigger and stronger man. She’s tough as nails.
Thanks :-)
Wow!! This is a great demonstration of perseverance and humility. Thank you, Michael for sharing your incredible life's journey in mastering yourself. Enjoy your life! :-)
This is now my favorite video. Please mike. Show some moves from your demo that got everyone’s attention.
This was a joy to watch, I really like his ankle locks when someone has your back and attacking the wrist , especially when he let the forward roll go in the omleplata to get the wrist lock.... Slick!
Roy Dean moves so effortlessly . I'm always left speechless. All his students move the same too.
Michael's fluidity considering his size, which most would consider a hindrance to effective movement, is nothing short of stellar.
Absolutely beautiful jiu jitsu, what a fantastic display of this wonderful art. Well deserved black belt
This is incredible jiu jitsu. So much knowledge and so much technique. So much work over the years behind this. Lovely to watch
Love watching this guy flow!!!!
Awesome Michael, beautiful display of skill! Big Congrats, well deserved!
This dude has some incredible movement and this video showed the result of his talent paired with a ton of hard work! Congrats to him for getting his black belt OSS!
Excellent!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 Should be no questions about his credentials 💪🏿💪🏿👊🏾👊🏾Oss
This Man is a legend. Amazing display of true BJJ. congratulations
Also I think it’s really cool that you make it into a little ceremony at the end. It’s a very special thing for that student to receive their belt.
Roy Dean videos are the definition of taking yourself too seriously.
White belt here - wow the skills shown here were so good. thanks for making this video!
Bruh! Was one symphony of orchestrated brilliance right there
I'm just viewing this video and I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS Michael! You are blessed to train in a great environment with what seems to be a Dojo full of very caring people. Cherish every moment with them and your Jiu Jitsu family. These types of groups are rare and precious. Although I train in a close 1st cousin art, I honor you and your school and celebrate with you on this achievement. Be blessed Brother and I wish you continued success on your Jiu Jitsu journey!
Sincerely,
Sam from Louisiana
Your Hapkido and Aikido Brother
Congratulations Michael, was a pleasure to watch.
This was incredible, I loved the display of skills. Really beautiful to watch.
Absolute quality.. I've busted my knee, so BJJ is currently on the back burner. Dam, watching this video reminds me how much I miss it
Beautiful, very inspiring. Got tears at the end.
Your students are extremely excellent, Roy Sensei.
Amazing to watch, really shows the beauty of Jiu Jitsu
Wow this was beautiful. I hope to reach that level once day. I been training 8 years and counting. Thank you for showing us your techniques professor. 🙏🏽🥋❤
That's another deadly black belt you have produced there Roy! Congrats Michael!
The technical demonstration is amazing
Could watch this all day, very beautiful and encouraging and energizing all at once. Can't wait for JJ class tonight, even as a lowly 1 stripe white belt.
Also…LOVE the heelhooks in the gi!!!
Now thats Poetry Love the technique... 💯
He is very mobile for a big guy. Excellent stuff. And I like how calm Roy is.
Apart from Dean this may be some of the slickest jiu-jitsu demonstration I've seen. Awswome job!
Congrats Michael!!! Reach for the Stars!!!!!
Outstanding job Michael
Congrats, Michael! I wish I would've known Roy was in town. I would've loved to have come by. I've learned a lot from him (his videos) over the years. I had no idea he had an affiliation in Memphis. Small world.
Beautiful stuff, from technique to attitude reflects the true stuff of the martial arts. Love the video.
This dude is cold blooded. Smooth as hell
the music behind this is so peaceful
this dude killed the testing portion. thexy jiu jitsu. looks like a real dope gym.
Transition of music when guard pulling was the bomb! 20:35
