Mastering the Armlock: Your Journey from White to Black Belt

[@MojoDamm]

"It's the punctuation mark in a strategy of eliminating movement options from your opponent." - One of the most profound things I've ever heard on KZbin.

[@Noahcantgame]

This video is so good that 8 years later it’s probably one of the best I’ve seen about arm locks

[@wesdowty79]

Look up 39 Armbars & Arm Locks in Less Than 4 Minutes - Jason Scully - BJJ - Grappling

[@josedanielgalvan9237]

yes. Good idea the slow motion. No lost of time with useless introductions. It's even aesthetic with its white and black images and the music. And old that for free.

[@TheloniusJ]

I highly recommend to anyone interested in any of the jujutsu-based arts (Aikido, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Japanese jujutsu, Judo) that they get White Belt Bible. I threw it in the player and could not stop watching. It is truly amazing. Do not let the title fool you, it is for everyone.

[@t1974g]

Thank you Professor..I’m a white belt 2 stripes..I admire your passion and philosophy of jujitsu..I always watch your videos and want to low just like you sir.🙏🏼🥋

[@nasgaf]

one thing i like about this guy is he keeps it real and represents the aiki/japanese jujitsu side as well. its a very effective method yet due to the majority of teachers being worthless turds it gets dismissed as ineffective. keep up the good work Roy! Much respect!

[@chasecushen1918]

Thank you, Dick Fitzwell.

[@michaelc.616]

Watched this video multiple times, visualized, went to class and got my first white belt armbar. I love these videos - thank you for such a comprehensive video!

[@t1974g]

That’s awesome

[@bengough6955]

That's cool, how far along are you now? :)

[@dmymal]

Thank you very much for the series "from white belt to black belt", I really like it. Can you make one about chokes?

[@bigreg47]

Yes that would be nice. Transitions towards different kind of chokes. Great suggestions brother!! Thanks.

[@Ezekiel222]

His instruction and teaching is second to none in BJJ. A true master is not a martial artist who can just fight but also teach it at it's most basic AND most sophisticated level. He can hurt and heal you through his art. Beautiful. I love his dvd's because they are the few dvd's i have actually learned from and taken directly from. A welcome relief from the wanna be neo-warriors of bad haircuts, bad tattoos, and pseudo tough guy attitudes. PURE EXCELLENCE!

[@SemperCallide]

I find this way more useful than 90% of BJJ videos. Because I can find exactly where I'm at and see the next steps to work on something different. More white-belt-to-back-belt progressions please!

[@cisforcat]

I have always been taught (by at least 3 different BJJ instructors) that when you are going for the perpendicular arm bar, you need to maintain control of the arm that you want to attack. I have always had a difficult time executing this technique with this rule. This video introduces a simple, yet brilliant point. Place your hands on your opponents chest to "push yourself up AND THEN (once you are in position) execute the arm bar. Awesome!

[@digitaltransformationbythe1284]

20 years of blood and tears encapsulated in one video. Thank you.

[@BigChill228]

Absolutely beautiful!!! The evolution of the armbar from white to black. WOW

[@lightningmunk]

hits the nail on the head when he says it becomes "a part of you", that the technique isnt separate from you, it is you, perfect explanation :)

[@elarmadillo2466]

This video is incredible quality in all senses: explanation, information, philosophy, presentation... Amazing. Thank you!!!

[@predhme]

Simply the most enlightening Jiujitsu video on KZbin... Period.

[@migikun1]

I am so happy i stumble onto this channel. I am on a Roy Dean watchathon...

[@afhostie]

This is the best explanation of belting i have EVER heard

[@sherwin3]

Roy needs to get more Dan grades. But seriously, thank you for changing OUR game.

[@moniksharmaaribam5609]

This video is 8 years old and I can't find anything more understandable and many amazing things that I have seen(previous I've also watch the many variations of triangle choke)

[@JoeScioli]

I think its cool he is wearing a white belt. To me that is a humble and egoless gesture. excellent instruction and ideas.

[@shaunnicholson5389]

Thanks for sharing Roy. As an ex-Aikido person myself I love BJJ and you have a nice grace about you which has flowed into your BJJ.

[@Jonny-pl6qj]

Another great video! I performed my first arm lock(s) this morning and saw a few examples in this that I did. Talk about exciting! I did notice that Roy's belt stayed white the entire video 😉

[@nickclarke09]

not to brag but im the person that can see a move and add it to my arsenal... I watched this video and started tapping blue belts the same day... its like jiu jitsu was created for Roy to teach... I want to study under this amazing artist..

[@ashmeltstress]

how beautiful. I watched it again and again. I've made up my mind to earn my blackbelt

[@adhambaarah6676]

Ashwin Mohan have you ?

[@savagejr1325]

super good video, even 11 years later its still taught me so many things as a white belt.

[@tfillc]

This video represents real teaching. Such a pleasure to witness brilliant instruction.

[@Presence_o_Mind]

Excellent video. I love these options especially learning how to roll under after getting stacked. As a lower belt I've found myself in that position and had no choice but to release the lock and get passed.

[@The_Preacher_LLC]

I watched this first month training and now two years later at blue, it's a beautiful recharger to my soul. Thanks Roy

[@TomPark1986]

These vids are really cool. I love the analytics.

[@Suntro]

I watch this every morning.

[@TrainfightwinCom]

"It's no longer a technique- it's the punctuation mark in a strategy of eliminating movement options for your opponent." - Roy Dean is awesome.

[@roln2572]

I love the insight he gives that goes beyond the basic mechanics of the arm lock. instruction on transition and setup is very important too. thanks!

[@ogginger]

this is such an awesome video! on so many levels, thank you for taking the time to make this!

[@cisforcat]

Simply brilliant!! If my ribs weren't busted from a "passing guard" accident I would practice this today!!!

[@onildoribeiro619]

Perfect video. Your way to share your vision is fantastic, congrats from Brazil

[@The_Preacher_LLC]

2 months into training- this just blew my mind. Thank you for putting this content out

[@FakeZOOr]

So much info in one single video. This is pure gold. Thank you Sensei for your time.

[@eddienene]

One of the best videos that i ever seen ,respect from Brasil

[@kickboxingunderground]

This is one of the most amazing BJJ videos. So much learning packed into so little time. Unbelievable.

[@bexmx]

I never get tired watching this video. So well done.

[@amazingGrace108]

Coach Dean. thank you. This is brilliant.

[@SergioArroyoSailing]

beautiful transition series. Please keep them coming! :)

[@daryllitke8133]

Fantastic. High level instruction that shows the development of how one flows. Chasing a grab bag of techniques alone will only get you so far.

[@bernimacafiya]

extremely high quality in delivery, thanks for creating and posting these videos!

[@Jo-ym6id]

These vids make my eyes tear up. powerful.

[@harderheart]

He makes me love bjj more than I already do

[@zullymoguel9470]

Man I really love this channel 💯💯💯 always wanted to approach BJJ understanding the “mindset “ rather than just the movements, and this video is what I’ve been asking for.

[@SatnamReehal]

A lot of videos seem to copy Roy Dean, he is a good teacher, my favorite on youtube for BJJ at the moment

[@carloswatchmearn1989]

God bless you Roy dean !!! You gave the seed of inspiration, now is time for me to water thanks bro!!!

[@4evasugarfree]

Thanks for taking your time to open my eyes...awesome video

[@marecare21]

genius... pure fucking genius... speechless

[@jimmygeorgiou3741]

I think all of Roy Deans videos are amazing a true scholar if BJJ. .Would love you to come to the UK to do a couple of seminars. .

[@afhostie]

Nothing quite gets me jazzed up and ready to hit the mats like watching this

[@david420ist]

[@castrillini4]

[@xxSeefaxx]

[@cory5233]

Holy crap, this is a really cool video! Great work!

[@10albertw]

Kudos to your videos, allows my back ground in Yoga to see a similarity. Sometimes in as basic as the path to knowing ones self, in other ways to discover what the body can do. Thank you sir for your relatable videos, Namaste'

[@SicVic999]

[@snakeii0]

Very well thought out video. Great job!

[@tomtrader6559]

Amazing series!

[@bigbore400]

"....as your belt darkens....." hahaha

[@hyungtaecf]

Actually, it is the real history of the colored belts. In Asia, they used to have just one belt. They started with the white belt and because of the dirt of training often and never washing that belt, it darkens. So they knew the experience of martial artists from how dark the belt was.

[@jylpah]

Absolutely fantastic video

[@Qian-Tang]

I can't image what kind of people would dislike this video

[@tomfletcher1735]

Too good! Thanks Roy you legend

[@sendtextmessageto]

[@ArchbardWava]

Amazing video, great commentary. Saved and I'll surely watch it later again.several times.
