[@garthperkins]

Thank you all for the kind words. I really gave it my all and put my heart into this demonstration. Special thanks to my uke, Alexandria, for her hard work and dedication in putting this demo together. Thank you to Roy Dean for his continued mentorship in helping me reach my Jiu Jitsu goals. Also, a big shout out the RDA crew for their support and friendship!

[@sergionavacerrada8685]

Sick technique

[@brucemcgraw2265]

Good job garth, keep in mind, alot of the promotions awarded are nowhere close to what you had to go through. Once u get your BB, the journey starts over

[@graciejiujitsusayville7108]

Great demonstration! - after years of watching these, and taking part in similar demonstrations of my own, it's the partner in the demonstrations that should be getting recognized as well. Finding someone who is willing to be committed to your craft and demo is not always easy. Their commitment, time, and dedication to being the perfect partner should not be understated. Congratulations to you both

[@garthperkins]

Thank you for recognizing her. She put in a lot of hard work into this demonstration!

[@thefitgm335]

Managed to watch this entire video while waiting for my wife to get out of the fitting room.

[@ChandoisGainesjr-fn9vr]

Proud of you. Motivation inspiration never give up. 🥋

[@Freedom_Flow]

Excellent- this is a great display of “traditional” or fundamental techniques as well as a lot of newer stuff. I think we’re finally entering into an era where the lines are blurred between styles and movement patterns to encompass a well rounded and most effective game- at the expense of no one’s feelings. Love it!

[@jgnotsag]

Really love these kinds of videos, just watching the technique and making it look flawless! Congratulations!! 💪

The level of the school must be excellent; amazing work in building skills from the foundation and checking the progress, belt after belt. Beautiful work with the videos, which provide motivation for the person that goes through the test, the Uke, and other spectators like me. Very good atmosphere, with everyone support and cheering, you can see that the squad is really close and united. Keep up the fantastic work

[@danythegrappler]

Well crafted and fluent demonstration. Congratulations.

[@mrrob5851]

Garth. I watched your escapes from bottom side control so many times. They are inspirational. And your combo that started around 7:17 was exceptional I watched it a great deal as well and will be watching this video more as I prepare to go home to Japan and get my training in. But your defining moment was your dedicated pushing of your limits to get through the last roll with Mr Dean. We have all been in those moments.watching you and many others going through that difficult time to get to the other side is truly a Moment we all share. And thank you displaying your love for the art. I hope someday to come back to USA and train with some of you. It’s atop my bucket list to train at least one day amongst you all. God bless you and can’t wait to see where you go from here

[@Freedom_Flow]

The high-quality jiu jitsu content is matched by the high level filmmaking in your videos. Hope to see you around some time, I’m in SD 🤙

I really appreciate your smooth Jiu-Jitsu, Roy. How you do "just enough" to allow him to keep working. But not too much as to destroy him. 👋👋

I would be interested in how these come about and do you create and craft them before you do your demo. I have loved these since watching Rick Ellis’ so mesmerizing and amazing the technique and flow of the JJ. Wish this was more a part of the process.

[@hocake8242]

Awesome

[@magas82]

Great video as always! After watching several of these, I came upon a question regarding the curriculum. At the academy, are there any restrictions on techniques based on belt level? For example, Garth's demonstration included spine locks, bicep/calf slicers, knee bars, kani basami, wrist locks and heel hooks - techniques that are typically "not allowed" in particular competition rules sets for a purple belt or even brown. I am an advocate for teaching all techniques regardless of competition rule sets or gi/no-gi training, but I just wondered how this works in practice. Are there any restrictions on what techniques a belt level can perform during rolls or is there an unsaid agreement on what is allowed or good-form? Just curious...

[@eliasabreu5169]

👏amazing

[@adamburry]

@garthperkins3 my favourite was the transition into the leg attack off the tai otoshi around 19:52. However, it was all amazing. Roy Dean's belt promotion videos are always fantastic. The kata-style demos always have a bewildering volume of techniques and the transitions/movements by his students are always very fluid and confident. I think the demos could be even better if there was sometimes a clearer indication of progression. There were many excellent examples in this video of tori responding to strikes or escapes by uke (à la the nage no kata, for example). And I get that sometimes (often) tori is demonstrating a variety of options from a situation that happened several techniques ago, like showing the armbar or wristlock potential from the turtle attack into mounted triangle. And maybe it was the video editing in some cases. But sometimes it appeared that uke was being passive and tori was just doing whatever for no reason. Just my two cents. It doesn't mean I wasn't completely blown away. Amazing job. Thanks for sharing.

[@admiralsuperior3]

Congratulations

[@josephattwood4168]

Anyone know why there was a tap at 12:30 in the vid? I couldn't see/hear why? Excellent video, absolutely fantastic standard of jujitsu.

Someone should give her a purple belt for being such an amazing uke

the uke difinitely does aikido (the way she is doing the breakfall). clean and neat, reminds me Da Silva Video more than 10 years ago...

[@alexandriahelfrich3921]

Hi I’m the uke in the video.thank you for the nice comments. I unfortunately don’t do aikido Just jiu jitsu and martial arts from a very young age but I was always taught how important falling the right way is. And we practiced this demo A LOT and it’s easy when you have a good partner 😂

[@droptopOX]

Serious question, how does he promote people but he doesn’t have a school?

[@roydean]

At this point, I'm beyond having my own academy. I only promote RDA affiliates, which are academy owners themselves.

[@dougieladd]

What happened at 12:28 here?

[@ryanpenny8272]

I was wondering the same thing. You can hear a popping sound. Hopefully not his elbow.

[@midwestmartialartsacademy]

His elbow wanted a shout out. He was fine and is currently fine from what I understand. I’m the brown belt in that round.

[@Scottierolls]

he did not just heel hook in the gi

[@benzaccaria6580]

Its becoming way more normalized now, as it should be. You've got feet whether youre in the gi or not, learn to protect them. All fair game.

[@Scottierolls]

@@benzaccaria6580 where is it becoming normalized?

[@benzaccaria6580]

@Scottierolls within the sport. Check out all the competitions that allow heel hooks in the gi. Usually It's reserved for upper belts because of how dangerous they are but still, they're there. As the sport transitions to less and less gi, alot of those no-gi and wrestling techniques are being recognized as vital to the game. As I said, you still have feet, why ignore them just because you have the gi on? Originally everyone ignored the feet. Nowadays it's all fair game.

70% of prohibited leverage for a purple belt

[@yurirosa]

Really inpiring jouney, no question about it. That being said, it is appalling to have someone train for 14 year to get a brown belt. You could be a neurosurgeon in the same time. On is obviously more complex that the other. I see this more and more: teachers "milking" students for decades under this pretense. 5/7 years is more than enough for anyone to become a black belt. The issue is setting the new ones as a standard, which poses an obvious problem of an ever rising threshold. Plus, once a student get to blackbelt he is almost certainly leaving.

[@benzaccaria6580]

if a student leaves just because they got the black belt then they weren't dedicated enough to the art to earn that belt in the first place. No true black belt trains just to receive that belt. Most who receive that prestigious award have put their body on the line for close to a decade, and have spent countless hours on the mat honing their skills. This thing is hard, and it takes a true love for the skill to get a black belt. You don't pour hours of your life onto the mats just to have a different colored piece of wool put around your waist. With that being said, by the time someone is even a purple belt, they have spent quite some time on the mat. Who knows what type of personal issues have come and gone in that time. People move, get injured, get promoted at work, get married, have kids. Plenty of things get in the way of training consistently for 10 years straight. Therefore, for some it very well might take 14 years just to get a brown belt. Comparing it to the difficulty of other disciplines and skills is a waste of time, and diminishes the difficulty and complexity of Jiu Jitsu. There is a shitload to learn in Jiu Jitsu, and the difference between someone who has trained 10 years compared to the individual who has trained 2 years is astounding. Sure, it takes over a decade to become a surgeon, but why does that matter? It takes over a decade to become anything close to a master in Jiu Jitsu. Hence the belt system that awards those who put real time and dedication into the art. This isn't karate, which awards 10 year olds with black belts. If someone is in it just for the recognition, they aren't in it for the right reasons and, as you said, wont last once they get promoted. We see this clearly with the very first promotion, the blue belt. 90% of blues dont reach purple.

[@user-cd6kn9pf5f]

Appalling? How do you know the student didn't take time off during that span? Maybe the student was only going 1-2 days a week, etc. There are many reasons why it takes some longer than others. 5-7 yrs is more than enough for anyone to become a BB? Your subjective opinions don't matter. Instructors use different criteria to determine who is honored with the BB: competition, attendance, hitting the techniques shown in class, keeping up with the higher belts while sparring, etc. No, not everyone deserves a BB in 5-7 yrs. Some might take 10 yrs, 12 yrs or longer. Some may never get it. Nobody deserves anything. You have to earn it. Unfortunately, too many martial arts are watered down to appease their students with belts being given out too liberally. You have no clue why or what circumstances this student had to wait this long for his brown belt.

[@moredcai]

Everyone’s progress and journey is different. Wild to generalize that if someone has been doing BJJ for 5-7 years they should be awarded a black belt. Are there people that have achieved a black belt in that time span? Absolutely, and they are probably exceptional and/or the exception. And I agree with you, what an inspiring journey.

[@yurirosa]

@benzaccaria6580 Thanks for taking the time to reply. In reality, I would risk saying 100% of students start with the goal of becoming a blackbelt, since that is what "mastery" equates to. With time, obviously, they realized the title equates to the skill set, not the color. Also, no student owes allegiance to their teacher. Being a blackbelt gives them autonomy. Even then, you still have scumbags who want to make money on their former students' gym. Ridiculous. BJJ is just a sport, but some treat it like a cult, of which you have to be a member forever. The antidote is to keep them below BB for as long as possible. This is no secret. Thirdly, it is useful to compare other disciplines because you can gage if it is reasonable. If in 5 years you can become a lawyer, is it really reasonable to take 14 to become a BB? Obviously not. And please don't tell me you actually believe becoming a doctor or lawer is less complex than a BB. You can be an absolute idiot and still get a BB, and the examples are abundant (NOT saying BB are dumb, just to be clear).The same standard applies to doctors,architectss, trades, etc. The reason is because "masters" would not make money. Even if it took 7, it's still reasonable. As you mentioned, life gets in the way, stretching the time, sure. 14 years is still more than sufficient to reach BB, if dedication is there. Say he missed 6, he still had 8 on the mats. C'mon bro, that is crazy.

[@yurirosa]

@user-cd6kn9pf5f Helio Gracie himself, in video, said 5 years is enough. It wasn't a business then. It was a set of skills you needed to know. If the ambassador says that, everyone else should take a few seconds to reflect on their requirements for a BB.
