[@chrisbrunskill6525]

Out of all the inspirational tests I have watched from the Roy Dean School, this is probably the best. Those black and brown belts took everything from him. If you're holding back the tears at the end, you know you have left it all on the mat. Fantastic!

[@kaibe5241]

Yeah, quite inspirational :)

[@rupturedspeaker3684]

What a herculean effort. I'm a new white belt and I can't even comprehend this moment. Wow. I've seen Chris in other videos. He was a very good purple belt. Much deserved reward for all those years of hard work and dedication. Good for him.

[@dirkbrouns5293]

Agreed - he was fed to the lions to take the larger part out of him. We all know, when exhaustion kicks in, your level goes down the drain quickly. The demo of techniques is already a hefty workout. After that, you're getting killed twice.... Solid, solid level of jiujitsu here.

[@mikelobao]

Agreed

[@alexandereckert5939]

he really seemed below par when it came to defending a lot of things in those rolls

[@jmoz]

Wow this is a great way to make me realise I know nothing.

[@pinoy413]

Hahaha same!

[@TexasDevin]

Socrates said the only true wisdom is knowing that we know nothing.

[@americanmambi]

Dude, I was like Damn this is a much higher technical level.

[@mauriciou]

back to white belt 0 stripes :(

[@ChileNoAutogolpe]

that's right you don't :))

[@tyleryoakum8147]

Ive never seen a man get pushed to his limits in BJJ harder than this man. He constantly was under pressure, in pain, and "losing" those rolls. But he kept on fighting. He kept going and he showed not only skill, but heart, and desire to succeed. This man did everything in his power to obtain his brown belt and deserves every inch of that fabric. Saying congratulations feels like and understatement.

[@kaibe5241]

Watch tournaments ;)

[@FernandaTorresss]

You haven't seen enough lol

[@uke_mike]

We literally go this hard every night, 6 days a week, roll 7 rounds, 6 min each. The big eye opener for me was when I did my first tournament and realized that it doesn't matter what you know if under pressure you can't execute it, by the 2nd tournament I struck gold and now understand what pressure on a small level is. Short answer is yes this man went hard, but if i can still talk at the end of rolling then I didn't go hard enough.

[@ChileNoAutogolpe]

the discipline in BJJ requires such mental state, I am sure you understand

[@henryhatton1441]

If you think this is tough watch bjj black belt exam

[@ilyassnejjar6195]

The fight with the young black belt was awesome, shows the difference between being a good well deserved brown belt, and actually achieving a black belt level.

[@danielcho3270]

The black belt is really really good, I think there are videos of him doing this crucible test for his black belt.

[@ilyassnejjar6195]

@@danielcho3270 I've seen his black belt test, it was really intense, but some lower belts gave him hard time, I can see here he got even better.

[@ronthemogul]

Yea he has some test and he grew taller compared to the old video

[@Me-dq5eo]

The best rolls for sure! It looked like Chris was drowning in quicksand as the black belt transitioned from position to position. That's not taking anything from Chris, because he was amazing, too!

[@jiujitsusilencer8533]

@@ilyassnejjar6195 if I am not mistaken, Chris was the purple belt that dished out some tough rolls during the young black belt's test. It's amazing how much better the young black belt has gotten since his own test.

[@matthewg4882]

Is this dude a judoka? Amazing in all aspects of the game but his take-downs are excellent.

[@70natc]

I think he is. Tomoe nage, ippon seoi nage, deashi barai well done

[@AnGhaeilge]

Yeah he's definitely a judoka. You can tell by how he breaks grips and sets up his throws. But from watching Roy Dean's students, they all seem to have better than average throws in comparison to a typical bjj player. Dean is a judo black belt I believe.

[@MrFreakinAwesome20]

Sean Ó Briain why is the word "player " even a thing. yeah jiujitsu is a sport now . but it is a fighting style before anything else .

[@NaruIchiLuffy]

​@@MrFreakinAwesome20 Cuz playa recognizes playa nam sayin?

[@bobsalad4379]

definitely

[@chasemanhart]

Roy Dean has by far, the cleanest production when it comes to BJJ. In love with this.

[@JiuJitsuM4]

Of all of the “Crucibles”, this was my favorite. He’s so AGGRESSIVE and he’s arguably the most fluid in his techniques of anyone I’ve seen on these videos. Very good combination.

[@Seattleskindoc]

Hands down the most beautiful BJJ rolls I’ve seen - oss to Mr. Mikuta - I love this guy’s athletic and violent style

[@AitoNitram]

I used to want to just watch good bjj, and sort of assumed that I would "only" get it via competitions. Then I realised I wanted to watch people roll, not compete so I found great seminar videos from people like Lucas Lepri and the Mendes brothers. But it would be rare to find videos with that consistent excellent jiu jitsu mixed with great video quality. Then I found Roy Dean and I couldn't be happier. Watching the level of detail, the sheer willpower and the humble and professional mood throughout the videos just inspire me in so many ways. Thank you Prof. Dean and everyone else involved in these for the inspiration and for the feeling of something greater in life to pursue.

[@zacharynash]

Seeing the difference in Peter from his crucible to this video, he has gotten so methodical. I did notice that as Chris got more tired, he also became a little more thought out in his actions. Not only was this an examination, but I would bet he learned a ton from this experience. From his determination, to his choked back tears, you definitely see his love for BJJ. Congratulations Chris!

[@brianahern8147]

So smooth. In my mind I move like this. On the mat, not so much...

[@Jjimmortal]

Chris, From one Brown belt to another, exceptionally well done! Love that smooth color drag brother. Others that have come this far, understand that which words cannot express... congratulations! This, is the closest we have. Thank you for sharing.

[@mikutajj]

Thank you for watching!

[@MatthewMontgomeryUSMC]

You know so many BJJ practitioners are KZbin addicts, including me. This video is beautiful. It captures the art. It captures, the technique. It illustrated the perseverance, effort, and love inherent in training. Finally, it truly shows how meaningful a promotion in this art is and should always be.

[@tidouble1]

So glad that you are doing these belt test/demo videos. My absolute favorite.

[@82drumhead]

Man the guy training with him lol. Dude is slammed over and over again with those throws and sweeps. Good video.

[@danhickman9956]

That's what I kept thinking too. As a fellow blue belt, I totally know what it's like to be in that position. He did a good job. At several points he's just got his eyes closed while he's getting slammed, choked, and arm barred. That pretty much sums up what it's like to be a blue belt :-) But beautiful technique by Chris. Well done.

[@Toxice404]

These videos are so well done, good job. It’s almost like a story, makes me root for the guy to win. Also, props for the song choices, just adds lots of depth

[@tyleryoakum8147]

I rewatched just now...so damn impressive and so well deserved. This video in particular gets to me on a whole different level. Absolutely motivating

[@reynaldwaldstein9705]

Best BJJ content on youtube by a mile!

[@SRunni_]

This is the greatest thing I saw this month! Wow!

[@kolbaska19]

So smooth and heavy!! That's why I love Bjj!!

[@FH-pn1tm]

So many of your videos are just pure art.

[@elfoenaci2]

These make me tear up EVERY TIME! Thanks for sharing. Os

[@thomasheadle9883]

This has got to be one of the most motivating and inspiring bjj videos I've ever watched. Tremendous skill, even with any of the losses and his heart! Gotta just keep on pushing and it'll pay off in the end. Thank you for this

[@eternalelitist1936]

These are my favorite. I always learn so much from watching these. Thank you!

[@brabhamfreaman166]

I love how all of Roy's students have just inherited his once uniquely exquisite fluidity and how thorough his training, such that from standing, sitting, prone for either attacker or defender, all the techniques look so…effortless. Not just a true master in his art but a black belt in teaching to boot. Bravo!

[@AnthonyDonnellyTT]

Another absolute gem... Respect.

[@ryanson5858]

I’ve never seen a practitioner with this level of clean and crisp techniques.

[@johnnyjung2054]

As always great video Mr Dean, I always get emotional when you give the new belt :D

[@admles-au]

That was awesome, lots of heart and skill shown, congratulations Chris!

[@rachelwalker7064]

Some of the most beautiful jiu-jitsu I have ever seen

[@AikidoAgatsu]

Fast AND smooth. Very inspiring. Great grit and determination. Great match-ups. What a quality organization and quality practitioner! Well done.

[@itskrill]

I really enjoy these videos a lot and they teach me a TON, being a beginner. The camera work is incredible. Thank you for these videos Roy!

[@Akujiki03]

Thank you for these videos. They not only bring inspiration, but they make me realize how far I must go even on my BJJ/Judo journey

[@americanmambi]

Truly a beautiful thing to witness. Nothing but art, he is just flowing and not forcing anything, great partner too. Ty for posting.

[@comiturhan]

Man all the techniques in the demonstration are beautiful and flawless!! 😭😭 Great black belt in the first spar!!

[@haiasiniknar4935]

The skill and smoothness of Roy and his students never ceases to amaze me. I learn so much just watching these demonstrations.

[@DontknowDontCare_]

It's so amazingly smooth...congratulations to this dude

[@Rbugland]

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing.

[@AamirTime]

Amazing determination. This is how respect is earned.

[@ironhide1657]

Congratulations Chris!!

[@brandonkain9231]

Many great jits videos on KZbin....but roys channel is amazing...the technique and heart is a beautiful display to watch

[@Osiriswear]

Beautiful Juijitsu from RDA students. Chris’s movement reminded me of a young Alan Shade from the old videos. Well deserved brown belt to Chris, those takedowns were some Bruce Lee level moves. Good to see the complete confidence of Peter, badass.

[@The_King_sent_me]

He’s incredible. Well deserved

[@p.treyben5567]

Man, I want that! Good job Chris!

[@themathemagicchannel]

I love this promotion, he pushed himself and suffered, he's also super technical and obviously a great judoka, huge props.. Ossss

[@08jhudson]

you guys have a real talent for showing the 'story' within the rolling. amazing, well done, and this guy earned it...

[@Kumagai1976]

thank you, your students are very technical. love it

[@matthewmessmer6940]

This was AMAZING. Pure heart on the part of the new brown belt.

[@Swapizzzz]

Peter getting even from his black belt crucible haha... Awesome job Chris great display of heart and determination

[@MeroGrumble]

Both standing and ground techniques were nice to watch. One can feel the dedication and the will of the purple belt in this video. Congratulations.

[@Littlethumbtip]

Finally!! Been waiting for Chris to test for next rank since he tore up the "Peter's Crucible" testing video...stealing every scene!

[@anonymouse7095]

I can only echo the sentiments of so many other people here and say wow. Beautiful, technical, great heart and class, great energy and what a bunch of excellent people and an incredible coach. Thanks for sharing that human art with us

[@ninjadave1125]

this was so inspiring amazing this is jiu jitsu at its finest as a blue belt this is very humbling

[@MZZ25]

This is by far the most beautiful and exciting test from all Roy's video. This man is so aggressive, determined and skillful. Appreciate his effort in BJJ and people who made this video. Thumbs up!

[@abgabg8887]

Que buenos videos, me encantan. Gracias maestro Roy Dean.

[@barikray6183]

The depth of knowledge in Jiu jitsu is insane.. I just started this month and am starting to realize just how good some people are at this stuff. Love it.

[@faaizkamran1033]

These videos are really motivating. Great job!

[@elchabuko]

Oh man it is so hard for me to not cry at the end. What an amazing moment in the life of this man!!

[@kjuarez29]

I love these videos. The beauty that is the art!

[@evolbetty4598]

So smooth. That dudes takedowns are nasty. Nice job brotha 🤙

[@DaKaveCollects]

This is beautiful because I remember watching Roy’s videos a couple of years back when he got one of his stripes on his black belt. He did a similar gauntlet and his last match was with his master, I forget his name but I was so mesmerized from his style, slow and methodical, that I try to replicate that in my game. No wasted energy, and make every move count. Thank you for sharing all of this! Aloha from Hawaii!

[@pinzon74]

Wow...just wow...Roy Dean's students bjj is so crisp and sharp...extremely high levels displayed across all belts!

[@majuol796]

RoyDean, Amazing video. Your videos shows that your students are well trained and are in shape, and the methodology is sharpen. Very Inspirational, Congratulations!
