I am very proud of Roy Dean, his progress within this amazing art, as well as his accomplishments around the world. He performed so well on this examination that I gave him a 95-98% score (NOTE: Most students pass my examinations with an 80-85% score. So, I could tell he had spent a considerable amount of time preparing for this examination - focusing on the things I asked him to focus on!) Great job Roy!

I've been watching Roy's videos for a while now, and I've NEVER ever seen anyone put him under so much pressure. Usually he moves like water, but under your pressure he was really working to get out of your controls. The whole time you looked like you weren't even straining either - watching this proves how infinite the art can be. Beautiful. CONGRATS to Roy Dean - well deserved, please keep sharing your knowledge and journey with us!

Sparring with the old man at 11:40 when he tried to defend the arm locks, Roy took it easy on him and switched into a choke to avoid hurting the man's joints. Such a class act and very rare in the heat of the moment. Most people testing will try to kill you if their rank is on the line.

Congratulations, Professor, on your 4th degree. I couldn't agree more with Rick Ellis about your continued leadership by example. It's one of the more difficult tasks in leadership to have the humility to put yourself out there in the presence of your mentors, peers, and students to demonstrate your competence at the risk of falling short. Not many in jiu jitsu are put in that position at your level. Your skill, drive, and comfort within yourself speak volumes to those coming up in this art. It's so important for people in your position to go where you expect your students to go, and struggle as they do - even as a 4th degree black belt. Actions speak louder than words, and your impact on others through this process is immeasurable. As a 44-year-old blue belt, I'm inspired to press on and to always try and be an example to others at any age and at any rank. Thank you...and congratulations on a long journey well traveled.

This was a different kind of americana, performed within a reverse triangle hold, without the assistance of the floor, and performed between two men at the very highest skill levels. Art for artists.
