Thanks for watching the video ⚫ Michael's Crucible | Jiu Jitsu Black Belt | Martial Arts Highlights 
Спорт
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
We all different. Small man juju. Big man juju. Disparage neither
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'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 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)!
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 :)
Proud to have this man as a friend and watch one hell of a demo.
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
That was sick. Homeboy moves like a panther for a bigger guy.
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
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.
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
1:39 beautiful sweep. What’s up my fellow WHITE BELTS!!!!
This is like being a piano enthusiast And getting to watch Mozart play
This may be the nicest compliment I’ve ever received 🙏.
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 🔥🔥🔥☺️
Michael is such a great guy, and this is well deserved! Congratulations, Michael!!!!
I dont know which is better…that guy’s jiu jitsu…or how freakin great that academy and the spirit level was.
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
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.
Awesome Jiu Jitsu, nice samurai painting on the wall
Clearly the guy who should of got his black belt earlier and makes all the black belts feel better once he has it
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.
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.
Finally.. a video of someone just executing clean techniques... pause, rewind, repeat..
Mahalo from Maui, Hawaii.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Oh nah, I just got into BJJ and by FAR this guys arsenal is something I definitely look at as an ART!
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
It's about hard work, dedication and the journey!! Beautiful!!
Congrats, Roy. Mike is a compliment to your work as a teacher.
Love these Crucibles. I often look for new-to-me techniques that I can try in my next class.
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.
What an amazing display of technique and artistry. These videos are always so inspirational.
a truely beautiful display. roys uploads are the best for witnessing the art
Beautiful, very inspiring. Got tears at the end.
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.
amazing as usual!! thank you for sharing.
Beautiful demonstration Mike.
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
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.
This is one of the best jiu jitsu videos I've found online anywhere. I can't stop watching it :D
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!
This is incredible jiu jitsu. So much knowledge and so much technique. So much work over the years behind this. Lovely to watch
Congratulations Michael, was a pleasure to watch.
Awesome Michael, beautiful display of skill! Big Congrats, well deserved!
That was one of the most beautiful demonstrations I have ever seen!
What a beautiful scene. So well done and produced so well.
Look how proud/happy Roy looks when he gives him the belt. Super nice. Congrats!
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
Man, these videos are so Inspirational and just want to make me cry.
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.
Amazing to watch, really shows the beauty of Jiu Jitsu
Congrats Michael!!! Reach for the Stars!!!!!

Outstanding job Michael
Absolutely amazing i love this video! Thank you for sharing!❤❤
Beautiful stuff, from technique to attitude reflects the true stuff of the martial arts. Love the video.
Holy crap this is epic. This man not only earned a black belt, but my respect as well. Congrats on the promotion!
Love watching this guy flow!!!!
Also…LOVE the heelhooks in the gi!!!
Absolutely beautiful jiu jitsu, what a fantastic display of this wonderful art. Well deserved black belt
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! :-)
Gotta love Roy Dean’s students. Encourages me to do beautiful jiujitsu each time. @Roy Dean please come to the UK for a seminar.
This was a great watch. Quality jiu jitsu.
OSS! I enjoy watching your vids Roy. Thank you so much! GOD Bless!
Awesome! Very beautifully made
The technical demonstration is amazing
So smooth. This guy is a ninja.
True, long lasting happiness and self-fulfillment comes from decades of excruciating hard work and dedication. Congratulations!
love these videos! Love way he presents his black belts!
So awesome! Congratulations! Welcome to the club.. the learning begins all over again
This dude can move! Congrats on the monumental achievement.
Just watched it again. Always inspirational Mike.
Your students are extremely excellent, Roy Sensei.
This was incredible, I loved the display of skills. Really beautiful to watch.
His movements are beautiful, I am awed at such an amazing display of jiu jitsu!
Absolutely a joy to watch
the music behind this is so peaceful
Wow, this brought tears to my eyes!
The most beautiful Jiu Jitsu I have ever seen.
The amount of goose bumps on got when introduced as a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu… I look forward to that day.
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!
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.
I love these belt demonstrations.
Simply awesome!!!
congratulations. Such an awesome experience.
Awesome video and great display of smooth techique
Great job Michael! Beautiful demo! Really wish I could've made it personally to this one, great work and congratulations!
Beautiful, poetry in motion
The choice of music is always excellent
Dont know the guy but im tearing up. Beautiful ceremony. BJJ is beautiful and you capture it so well.
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. 🙏🏽🥋❤
This dude is cold blooded. Smooth as hell
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.
Another crucible! Instant like. I really love these.
This is now my favorite video. Please mike. Show some moves from your demo that got everyone’s attention.
