Rick Ellis Purple Belt Demonstration | Jiu Jitsu | Roy Dean Academy

[@marekmaxpabianice]

i love the way Roy rolls... he does not want to prove he is better than a blue belt, he helps him learn... such a rare thing when rolling with a black belt, they will just submit u 3x per minute

[@ronthemogul]

When you find humble ones they are just willing to let you try your work

[@FriePaul1337]

or the "I just want to try somethings on you." Famous last words :')

[@simplicity126]

Well deserved purple.. I really enjoy watching this video. No one was using overwhelming strength or athleticism to their advantage. Everyone was very technical. It's beautiful display of BJJ

[@ReddyCWR]

Exceptionally sharp blue belt! Well deserved purple.

[@therealrickellis]

Roy Dean requires a specific number of techniques from each position, as well as a certain number of three technique combinations (roughly 70 techniques total). It's up to each athlete to create their demo, which is why each one is a little different. The idea is to showcase techniques that reflect your particular game.

[@leeclark3940]

I love Rick and Roy. These guys make BJJ seem like its a spiritual journey. In a way it is to me. But watching these old video is really awesome.

[@TheloniusJ]

Sweet. Love the way this video is more intimate, with the music toned down. Great techniques and smooth rolling. Well deserved.

[@cadillacboi420]

[@miguelpagan8436]

[@MisterHuxtable]

Excellent belt demo.

[@hero4301]

Great Job Rick!!!

[@danielcho3270]

Well done, congrats.

[@Gallagur-xz6fr]

Sick transition into the triangle @ 02:53 It was like watching a magic trick. I had to watch a few times to figure out how he did it.

[@watergrip]

rick reminds me of howie mandell a bit..probably due to the bald head and goatee..but i remember watching the first blue belt demonstration a few years ago. its good to see that rick is still sticking with it. congrats!

[@fernandocolhado8203]

Curto muito seu canal meu irmão 🙏🏻 sou do Brasil 🇧🇷 abraço @Roydean

[@chavamma]

wow Amazed by your sensei he's really humble, he could of just submitted you and yet flowed with you even kinda let you get that kimura.

[@chavamma]

Where's your Dojo @ I like the decor & the mats just go with it perfectly!

[@anonymousreviewer169]

No ego whatsoever. I wish I could transcend my game beyond my insecurities.

[@7por7]

Pretty smooth nice

[@kalae96792]

beast!

[@waldomarek]

wow @ that triangle @ 3.16!

[@mbopy22]

Great vid. I wonder where can I get that white GI, what brand is it?

[@SheboyganGrappler]

Classic Roy Dean 14:08...smooth

[@kennjay79]

i noticed that every purple belt demo is a little different, is this because they get to choose the extra submissions, or do they pull from a group of techniques taught in class?

[@lightsparks]

what is the name of the sweep at 1:56? and the actual submission at 2:59?

[@Clutchisback1PC]

GREAT JOb rick!!! COngrats!!! BOWERMAN FOR BROWN!!!

[@corycaplick3666]

That guy looks familiar

[@madeku]

2:54 = very slick positional transition

[@k00lkane]

@kanguesso By be careful in whos training you you mean check his BJJ background right?

[@MonacoRocha]

Hi.. Is this Gracie Bjj ? Anyone Please ?

[@yellowandy]

I hear Roy is a bit of an odd duck outside of BJJ but watching him let his students tap him so they can finish and learn their techniques...... He's a fantastic BJJ instructor. OSS!

[@dubhudz]

great stuff.

[@jeronimo1983]

[@ccrass4443]

Looks like Roy trains his students in BJJ like a Judoka is trained in Judo. Every belt has certain techniques they must master before promoting. Great way to train and to promote. Wish more schools taught that way. Where I train you “learn” 96 techniques (3 each class) in a 16 week “fundamentals” class that you repeat every 16 weeks for about a year before you get an opportunity to go to another 16 week curriculum with another set of techniques. There is never time to actually learn the techniques.

[@kanguesso]

@cadillacboi420 The reason why you won't see many schools like this where you or i live is because BJJ or MMA in general for that matter has now sadly become more about money. The business potential of this beautiful art is so promising that it prompted all the enthusiasts to come out of the woodworks in an effort to cash in on this gold rush. All the Karate schools that were open just 5 years ago have now turned into BJJ or MMA schools. You have to be very careful of who's teaching you and why.
