BJJ Brown Belt | Byron Higinbotham

[@burnit_0193]

Damn, students in this club truly earn their belts. This is incredible. RESPECT.

[@Gallagur-xz6fr]

Wow, what a beast. Nice job. I bet when people line up across from him to roll, they're like, "this is gonna suck."

[@joopsnoop]

I have to laugh. At myself. I am purple belt three stripes and I couldn't do a fraction of those techniques. Very nice.

[@joopsnoop]

Yes. :) Thanks for asking. Things are going well enough, which means plenty of care, no injuries to speak of and steady progress. Learning a lot from the Roy Dean videos as I go too!

[@joopsnoop]

Wow, that's very cool. When I was 13 BJJ wasn't even in the States yet. Keep it up! That's great that you can train at your age. Do you have a good school and good teacher?

[@joopsnoop]

You are indeed blessed. Keep up the training and you'll be as famous as them one day!

[@danrhyev]

@@joopsnoop how's your training going man?:)

[@tenshunn]

Wow. That is the first time I saw Roy Dean not "give" anything to his student. This was a great display of Jiu Jitsu. And Stuart Cooper is a friggin STUD!

[@richkrupansky1339]

That was the first one I saw where Roy turned it on

[@Tamaraisalive]

This is really great work. You can see all of the years of hard training through these videos. Leaves me feeling inspired every time.

[@eddiegun]

wow, that round with stuart was probably the most intense I've seen in an RDA belt test video. great stuff. higinbotham looks like an absolute beast. congrats to all

[@EMTgamer]

I figured I'd watch a moment or two of this, but ended up sitting through the whole video. That was very well done. Congratulations :)

[@greenwave2450]

So many oss’s. Watched it at .75 speed and still rewound several times

[@waldomarek]

size truly does matter when the guy has some great technique to back it up as well.. congratulations on the brown belt!

[@pedrovillelabjj3163]

it is awesome to see as your guys progressed, Higinbotham is definitely strong but didn't allowed himself to rely only on strength, solid technique all around. good work. greetings from Brazil

[@SOLROSENBERG2]

I always learn knew stuff from these videos.@3:24 that near side armbar from scarfhold...wow.

[@carloslazo1977]

13:35 that kimura and that bloody eye shows the hard work both went through...but that kimura to sweep was beautiful!

[@KenpoJuJitsu3]

THAT was an amazing test. He gave it absolutely 100%. Respect.

[@darrenhall8643]

Wow what a warrior, superb technique! You're a beast!!!! By far one of the greater vids I've watched for crucibles

[@williamwolfsblood2949]

The hours and dedication it takes to get this level. Well done!

[@cccowboy2576]

Roy Dean was absolutely on fire during the sparring... 👌

[@Seattleskindoc]

That scissor sweep to choke was old school and brutal ! Great video !

[@chrisbrunskill6525]

A decade of Knowledge superbly demonstrated in under 5 minutes of this clip.

[@aaronbrill1756]

That was incredible! I don't even know anyone in this (just went down a jiu-jitsu rabbit hole) but found myself emotional at the end. Great job Sir and it looks like a great school.

[@LinusLogic]

My eyes hurt from these fast, concise movements, Lord have mercy

[@MrBallbuster82]

Excellent, just watched this n now I'm going training...... Excellent motivation vid.

[@philipmares]

this way of promoting people in your Academy is the RIGHT way to do it :) thank you for sharing these videos with us Mr. Dean, best regards

[@stauffer20]

What a warrior, you can really feel the struggle in this video. I will say as a smaller frame guy, I really felt the fight the blue belt put in there. Great job by everyone here.

[@MsSmartty101]

Amazed at this guy’s schooling techniques for his students 😎🤘🏻🔥

[@dlogic22]

Got to see the best of Byron, but also was great to see Roy really putting in a hard roll making him work for that Brown belt, best demonstration yet in my opinion.

[@jmcclain11225]

I said the same damn thing.

[@82drumhead]

This dudes a freaking monster. Jeez.

[@ShanyGolan]

congratz! the hard work it takes to pass each belt is a feeling no one can understand unless they are training themselves!

[@AikidoAgatsu]

Intense! even for an RDA demo. Incredible movement/flow!

[@omnikira]

You guys have amazing jiu-jitsu. Always a pleasure to watch

[@guillermo4851]

Holy shit!! in three years the improvement is just outstanding

[@jonathanwhiteley9454]

Some very nice sweeps and great transitions

[@desmund6625]

Great technique! Impressed to see that he tapped both brown belts that he had to roll with. Well deserved.

[@BJJsacra]

Amazing. What a fantastic training. Warriors 👊🏼

[@TheBarber03]

Love these belt test vids. Great stuff

[@jmcclain11225]

Your student did a hell of a good job but used a lot of muscle during his rolls, I guess that's the reason why you opened a can on his to demonstrate technique over strength. I love watching your videos and your students.

[@kingwilly8041]

I agree. He showed good but not great technique during sparring, which is why the Brown Belt in the Lucky gi (Stuart Cooper apparently) was able to hang with him even though he was smaller. I'm sure he'll smoothen out by the time he makes it to Black Belt.

[@Benknowlton]

I wonder if perhaps like myself Roy tends to roll harder when in comes to beasts such as this man because of necessity or remembered stresses. I’m not so strong as many of the men I roll with so when I roll with certain guys, you know the one, I go hard in the paint.

[@pitbull82]

@Lyle Benzo Royce was past his prime, but I still get your point.

[@AD-fn8zk]

I love the fact that Roy humbled him before giving him his belt. You are good son but let me show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

[@jazkravitzfuk19799]

I completely agree. I was thinking the exact same thing

[@AdrianCiubotariu]

are the dislikes from people who know the guy and don't like him? the dislikes on belt promotion videos puzzle me...

[@cienciasuave8240]

uno de los mejores pases de grado que he visto en mi vida, muy buena preparacion excelente la actuacion de uke. oss congratulation

[@Willkakau]

Very high level and congrats to Roy Dean Jiu Jitsu. We down here in Brasil MUST keep it up or else.....I'm impressed!!!

[@ajabisong]

Goosebumps all over! Incredible!

[@floearthling7449]

Wow...even as a non bjj practitioner, I found it amazing to watch!!

[@Romios_]

I like Roy Deans game... very very solid......Hello from Greece ....hehe he let him work on this triangle at the end!...Congrats for the brown belt,but be carefull about the ring,rings etc may end dangerous for the figners!...

[@studioanf]

I saw the wedding band as well... always take mine off on training days... :)

[@TheGraciefighter101]

always love watching these - thank you Roy

[@tadams929]

How long did it take for him to earn his purple/brown belt that display of technique was amazing, I don't even think our black belt would be able to handle him.

[@Sordemith]

Byron has been training for many years and is a very, very experienced martial artist. Besides that, also an unbelievable athlete.

[@singersdoittheloudest42]

As I'm sure you already no , every studio is different with belts. some give bekts away and some , grind their athletes to really flow technique , subs , d , use if gi . This is a great gym obviously with true roots superiors old school mentality and these are the results . Great work my friend . So well earned

[@brandonrobinson1607]

Your an amazing jujitsu practitioner I wish I could learn from you…

[@JamesMoreau]

Epic demo. Congrats! Oss!

[@chriscolley3886]

As ever great video and congrats to the new brown belt.

[@jenjiujitsu]

[@comiturhan]

Byron was mean in that video, but Roy Dean is just the Demon King. lol :D

[@wrknhvc7708]

This man’s technique is incredible

[@Mr4433]

That guy looks like he would feel like rolling with a steel cable haha

[@pitbull82]

I get tired just watching your promotions. Beasts in this academy

[@valizeth4073]

Really nice and smooth

[@roybuchnik9093]

Great exam , awesome techniques! one question though, do your gym alllow rolling with rings and others, because it is quite unusual and unsafe.

[@BRIMMSTONE]

Did he get a tap on Professor Dean at the end? Impressive. Would love to see another video of him rolling in 2019 now that he's had 5 more years to improve skill level. -- Does anyone know if Byron is a black belt yet?

[@jiujitsunami]

I've been watching this video for the past week

[@afriKENN]

that guy's a beast congratulations on the brown belt

[@dmack980]

Awesome. this is why I love this art

[@SandroSalles]

my congratulations merited the brown belt. good job!

[@bohyeur]

Hi dean, by any chance you have byron's black belt demonstration?

[@bohyeur]

Hi roy, do you have byron's black belt test vid? Big fan here

[@xemafer2712]

Muy bueno! Exitos!!

[@AnGhaeilge]

Goddamn, that's one very good purple/brown belt.

[@ChadBasecamp]

How come his purple belt demo was better than his brown belt?

[@albehind]

Is that Stuart cooper rolling with him?

[@dave112381]

***** that roll was a war

[@shawncarter253]

Looks like Stuart Cooper and his style looks like it too

[@JBDacasinJr]

Byron srsly has some elite level condition. Straight up machine.

[@diariodanovazelandia]

Professor RoyDean, would you have any dvd or videos with Kids classes?

[@skulkraper]

Beautiful jiujitsu!

[@firemanpaul8704]

Really want to see this guys black belt test

[@wesdowty79]

4:40 thought that was a chick there for a second. I was like damn! Slow down turbo!

[@Lucianojotanojr1]

He put up a good fight, all the way to the end

[@jamesc2545]

That dude is doing work .... siiiicccckkkk

[@schism1986]

Holy shit. What a beast! Respect!

[@jakebasa1517]

Simply amazing

[@jungisback7390]

Respect from Turkey.

[@xavierv.1207]

More than ready.

[@dojomarcialaikidokai]

Cómo sería la dinámica de los exámenes (tanto este como otros que he visto) Primero hay una serie de técnicas específicas y luego es lucha (en judo sería randori, en BJJ cómo se llamaría? Rolling?) Veo que es muy extenuante!!!

[@dojomarcialaikidokai]

With Google translate ... What would be the dynamics of the exams (both this and others that I have seen) First there is a series of specific techniques and then it is a fight (in judo it would be randori, in BJJ what would it be called? Rolling?) I see it is very strenuous!

[@corleonetoys1212]

También es randori igual que en el Judo, que significa práctica libre, los brasileños y sobre todo en los EUA le denominan rolling que es una forma vulgar de referirse al randori, consecuencia de solo haber absorbido el aspecto de lucha y confrontación sin todo el bagaje cultural y axiológico del Judo y del propio Jiujitsu Japonés, ya que como sabemos tanto el Judo como el Bjj derivan del jiujitsu japonés.

[@deld133854]

magnifique !!!!! es un guerreiros!!!!

[@anthonybacy]

Good job oss
