Judo Black Belt Exam : 20 Years of Dedication

[@moefinesse9878]

This is the definition of a real judo black belt examination! Thank you sensei Dean for preserving the true essence of kodokan judo.

[@mavzolej]

Exactly, modern /non-olympic/ judo seems to have a lot to learn from the bjj culture.

[@markdaniels4178]

@mavzolej you mean bjj has a lot to learn from judo culture

After 3 knee surgery's what a beast and I think a well deserved belt 👏

[@shaneroberts2492]

I just had knee surgery in March this year and had the exact same brace! Mad props to him for training with it. I’m 11 weeks post op and about 80% recovered.

[@swayman66]

What is the brace? Hope you’re recovering well!

[@shaneroberts2492]

@@swayman66 I had a “donjoy x-rom”brace which looks identical to what he is wearing in the demo. I am doing well thanks, hoping to be back rolling soon!!

[@bdizzle82]

This was absolutely amazing! I am black belt in karate with only a small amount of Judo experience. This inspired me to want to learn Judo for real. This is the kind of content that the internet needs!

Same here man blue belt wado ryu also on judo journey in september/oktober 😉🥋

[@MessianicJewJitsu]

This Uke took a professional wrestling shows worth of bumps here.

[@zacharyhoffman9972]

That was awesome. Favorite exam video to date. As an older guy in BJJ and Judo, this was really motivating.

[@SnakePlissken-gk7ix]

Regardless of the fighting art, this is the most comprehensive black belt test I've ever seen.

[@plainclothesbros]

Then you haven't seen many...and there's just too much pretending in Judo. In a real fight, Never do 2 men engage in a synchronous and coordinated "dance" right before one throws the other down and then everything (stops). This however is assumed in this form-based and "performance"-style discipline. Yes, it looks cool for about 1 second, then they pretend everything just comes to a calm conclusion. This is almost (never) what happens when there's a crazy lunatic trying to kill you. As with Rhonda Rousy, it's all good until someone throws a clean head-kick.

[@Itzak15]

Judo videos from Roy Dean? I'm hooked!

[@cliffvictory5981]

Wow impressive, as a Shodan I can appreciate beautiful Judo 🙏

[@MrLeafsta]

Loved this. Some serious proper Judo here. Well done.

[@AnGhaeilge]

Seeing that leg all tied up reminded me of all the knee injuries from judo. Judo is a grueling sport. Here judo black belt gradings are done by the national body, not an instructor.

[@markdaniels4178]

You must be in Canada or Europe because in the states we can use three high ranked black belts

[@NoPhilters]

In Canada, we do kata technical stream or comp stream via points. They're doing nage-no-kata for shodan grading but we would do it in front of a grading committee

[@holdenmuganda97]

I got graded by the USJF just a few years ago in 2020 for my black belt. Though I don’t know if grading has changed since then since the USJF has fallen out of favor but it was graded by the governing body and not the instructor back then.

[@s1r155]

It's the same in the UK. My instructor is a 6th dan but he can only grade up to brown belt. Black belt gradings are done by committee, which I think is good for preserving standards.

[@markdaniels4178]

I'm in the fort Lauderdale area but I use to live in france

[@oneandonlyTan]

if someone could do that thing where they put all the names and timestamps, that would be amazing as this seems like a very comprehensive list

[@grenity]

I've never seen nage no kata demostrated like that.

[@ThePimpedOutPlatypus]

I added 1 day a week of Judo training to my Jiu Jitsu about a year and a half ago. They complement each other so well! Judo is a great martial art!

[@hocake8242]

Hats off to the guys getting thrown

[@joejordan6568]

Awesome! Just another example of a brave warrior reaching his goals with no excuses. Well deserved

Interesting to see the different in the steps if the nage no kata. When I did mine, I made the same mistep of throwing too much into the uchi mata lol. Fixed it just like he did on the lefty one

[@barrykee8876]

I should have read the title better. I saw Roy Dean belt test video and just assumed Jiujitsu. I knew what was going on but was confused as to why. Congratulations on the Shodan rank

[@danilecashin4126]

Congrats 🎈 good job😊

[@patchung]

Well made video and content wow. OSS!

[@mrburns2128]

In the go kyo (and extra techniques) part, there are a few big errors in the kuzushi and tsukuri phases of koshi wazas and the kake (throw) is therefore out of equilibrium, uchi mata is not so good, a lot of little errors here and there. It's remarkable to show all these wazas for shodan, but they have to be consistently good. Maybe a more compact exam program could focus on the quality and not the quantity.

[@mitchelhuott8484]

He is also wearing the leg brace which would make throws such as the uchi mata harder, or at least have greater risk of injury.

[@jeffreyburke3235]

Fantastic video. As a judoka of 10 years starting when I was 40 and on my 1st kyu (brown) working towards my 1st Dan myself, I completely appreciate the drive and determination to work towards this achievement at this stage. Thank you for the inspiration and congratulations!!!

[@bil-alak3382]

Wow, totally Loved the content. I have a question. Which is the worst sport for the body and knees especially? Judo or BJJ

[@Gonosen]

My experience is that Judo is harder on the body by a distance...its the getting smashed with the throws that takes it out of you. Lots of old Judoka moving over to BJJ including myself.

[@pablomedina1878]

Judo is hard to the body, You would have to really love it to keep it doing it. They have some techniques that you can learn but is not allowed to do in randori or competition to avoid injuries. BJJ is a lot easier to the body but you can also get knee injuries with guys that are trying to do techniques that are not in their levels and you have a lot of them on the BJJ world.

[@Kuptofity]

the worst are BJJ guys trying to do throws that have bad form but overall throws are 90% of most serious injuries, you just cant tap out falling bodies

[@BudgetGainsByJJ]

They’re both hard in the better but Judo will make you stronger and more athletic which enables you to withstand the beatings. If you considering which style is better from my experience Judo is far more effective for self defence. BJJ is more of a “sport” but I can’t deny that it can help for self defence also

[@ChosenMemories1]

@roydean when can we see some videos of women’s test promotions?

[@jiu-jitsu8234]

I’m definitely going to have to take some judo along with Jiu-Jitsu when I start training again

[@SINdaBlock411]

what about jutaijutsu

[@markdaniels4178]

Judo is a must, it's the foundation but many try to discard Judo out of arrogance. What you just witnessed real Judo including the leg locks which is apart of the Judo curriculum but not allowed 🚫 in competition. Also, you witnessed that bjj is judo under a different rule set.

[@Krooks44]

The orange belt earned a beer or two after that demo 😅 OSS

[@typezero303]

Beautiful

[@romes3217]

The whole time I’m looking at his knee praying it don’t blow out

[@ciceroorator1374]

Effin Awesome. Wish we did more Judo in BJJ

[@BudgetGainsByJJ]

Judo is actually way better for self defence, I’m not dissing BJJ but every time a Judo guys spars with a BJJ guy, Judo is always winning

[@Reotix_]

Roy was happy with that IPPON :)

[@juliantorres298]

Dude has a knee brace and still keeps training. Solid mf 🫡

[@ryansmith9138]

What NGB is this under? here in the UK first Dan grading theory is done at an area level rather than club level and the practical part of i guess the "randori" shown here is just getting your points at either contests or contests grading.

[@vincentvalerio915]

That Uke deserves his shod Dan for taking all those falls like a champ

[@rozennbergfridi9206]

This is art. Also Judo with leg locks? Awesome

[@johndang887]

Judo bb exam? now this is spicy

[@ilanmasaje]

the orange belt has no idea how to fall

[@SKJeeper]

Nage no Kata wasn't completed or it just recorded? I noticed few interesting points as the difference between European and US exams. We do Nage no Kata first, than 10 techniques, like morote gari, tawara gaeshi, kani basami, sukui nage, kubi nage and so on. Than self defense based on Judo techniques, and first aid test. What really surprised me is how bouncy is yours tatami. I'm traveling to Kodokan in September to finish my coach licence, so I curious how it will be there. :)

[@mitchelhuott8484]

Many people just do the first three sets of Nage.

[@liamwil9744]

Would you create a bjj dvd, which has 20 bjj techniques needed for street self defense??

[@MC-tm2uy]

There's already something like that ...it's called Judo

[@JosePerez-lo2ps]

Jamás yo sería Uke con ese Sensei!

[@TheMartinBishop]

Badass!!!

[@forestgump8403]

which is harder, judo black belt or bjj black belt???

[@TSM260]

Easy answer..get a black belt in both.

[@s8mury308]

Its said it takes about 10-15 years to get a BJJ blackbelt. Someone might get a Judo blackbelt within 7 years. But BJJ would not exist if judo didn't. No-Gi BJJ is just submission wrestling, the Gi is adopted from Judo.

[@jasonrose6288]

In my experience, judo places a heavier emphasis on competition. Most judo black belts have competed over the years to some degree. While BJJ also emphasises competition, I think it would be more common to get a black belt in BJJ than judo without meaningful competition experience. That's my impression, anyway, as a judo black belt and BJJ brown belt. Either way, they are both hard to achieve and worthy of respect.

Not in favor of someone training so soon after surgery or injury. Best case you recover continues, worst case you get ur black belt as you get rolled back into surgery. Not worth the risk. I’m sure his surgeon would be 😡 if he/she was there for this. Lol. Glad he made it through
