Roy, in the last 2 years my jiu jitsu has evolved a lot because of your videos and Rick Ellis' videos. I'm from Brazil, but I hope to one day return to the United States to train with you.
Normally I use YT for technique rather than online peptalks, but I love the way you lay out the high level insider’s look at what the art is to people and the why they do it in phases. It fits my story perfectly other than the beginning. That said, most people who have a reason to start down this crazy path are BROKEN in some way, then quickly find that the road leads to strength. Yes, some quit, but I find that they never had the resolve to actually improve themselves in the first place, and were only looking for a release or a quick fix. And we know it’s not a quick or easy thing. Ossss!
I’ve been training for four years now and now I get the whole “bjj changed my life” thing, my life has greatly improved and I honestly don’t know where I’d be right now if I never started. Thanks for your awesome videos Roy
I'm taking a short hiatus from the mat while my MCL heals. So, I usually watch tutorials and apply it to my open mat time, but now I'm taking a short unwanted break from the mat, these type of videos help fill that VOID.
Great video, cool perspectives, looking forward to seeing more. Only feedback I have to give, if you're open to it, is maybe consider lower the volume of the trap music just a touch. Cool video but music is soaking up too much of the focus relative to the cinematics and your narration. Looking forward to the next ones!
I've never "morfed" out of learning Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense. Thats going in the wrong direction in my mind. I joined to be able to fight and defend myself. Here I am 24 years later and still getting better at that.
I like the new perspective video but the music is too loud for my liking. It's good music, and you always choose good music, but it needs to be lower so it doesn't compete with your voice.
I doubt the self defense aspect ever really goes away. Mike Tyson was beaten on the street by a group of attackers. As you progress through the ranks, the ones posing a threat to you become your disgruntled training partners, either because you are dominant over them or they aren't dominant enough over you. BJJ is a hierarchy, a pecking order. I have had to fight training partners several times, but harsh words got exchanged a lot more than that.
Very interesting how different our experience is in the same art. I did many years of another self defense system prior to BJJ and I was looking for a different challenge. BJJ for me became more of a physical chess match, and after a roll we more likely get supportive and encouraging words from each other than bitter ones.

Absolutely right. I joined for self defense; now it's an addictive puzzle.

Mestre, this will be great. Your philosophy is such a key point on how you take martial arts and seeing your journey is great.
Beautiful! Always great to watch you, Mr. Dean, either doing Jiujitsu, or talking Jiujitsu...both of which mean doing life, and talking life.

Are you happy with the Rokit studio speakers?
I like the new perspective video but the music is too loud for my liking. It's good music, and you always choose good music, but it needs to be lower so it doesn't compete with your voice.

Unless you wanna "celebrate the coward"
roy bloes?
Yes! Who's this?
That music is unbearable
Get rid of these annoying ghetto beats instrumentals on bank ground. We want to hear you the great BJJ coach, not beats!!
