[@andrewwade5490]

@Ace Royal Instablaster =)

[@aceroyal5833]

@Andrew Wade thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@aceroyal5833]

@Andrew Wade It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account !

[@andrewwade5490]

@Ace Royal Happy to help :)

[@rathoz1]

I've been training for 10 years and I always learn something when I watch Roy!

[@Taintedmind]

He has my philosophy for martial arts: learn defense to eliminate fear & uncertainty, then work on offense. -Kempo, Judo & BJJ!

[@hassanesdaile3671]

I’m 2 months in & my defense and positioning is what I work on a lot..

[@Rynkov]

Now i know why he has black belt and i have only blue. He is moving like machine, clear, very precisely, quick when he want ... Great VIDEO and GREAT MASTER !!

[@14rubi]

Gotta love the way Roy Dean breaks things down. I use his videos to help me show my son how to do things. Thank you.

[@TheHKdan]

I’m here, ten years later replying to your comment saying that I’ve just shared Roy’s video on side control escape to teach my boy: “Use whatcha got”. He’s moved countries and is feeling a little down while adapting to the new environment. So, after giving him a few examples of my own, I shared the “Use-whatcha-got philosophy” in Roy’s Jiu Jitsu teaching.

[@DeaNofMeaN73]

Mr Dean you've just saved my life. Im a BJJ practitioner and unfortunately I cannot have enough lessons to improve and learn escape techniques. This video certainly will help me to perform my escapes from full mounts. Thank you very much sir.

[@himez123]

I was taught one or two of these a couple of months ago but now seeing this blows my mind !!! Thank you (white belt newbie) can't wait to use these next time I roll :]

[@STRpros]

I actually used to watch alot before i started taking classes. I have done 6 months of jiu jitsu now. And to be honest, watching, observing is one thing but actually doing it is a whole different thing. You will almost gone blank when you do it live. Especially when rolling, experience and the feel for it is all it's matter. Trust me i been there ;).

[@TrainfightwinCom]

@00firebird LOL... 26 people now. Anyone that "doesn't like" Roy Dean's videos truly doesn't understand anything about the grappling arts. His instruction is clear, he technique is flawless, and his videos are of top-knotch quality. Thanks for all you do for the grappling community, Roy!

[@Hazn]

LOVE THIS INSTRUCTOR! He explains in ways that anyone could understand

[@ralphylad]

Roy Deans instructionals are top notch, blue belt requirements is worth every penny!

[@teammyst3ry]

This guy is a great BJJ teacher. I learned full mount and side mount escape from him. I hate being on those position and now I can escape. Thanks Roy!!!

[@junemo1]

Thanks for posting instructor Roy, you changed alot of lives for the better, God bless you for it.

[@iagoxy]

Just what I was looking for... clear and straight to the point!

[@STRpros]

i totally agree with you on this point. I think escapes is survival and is a foundation of jiu jitsu. At the same time i think to be able to learn escapes effectively you will also need to know the submissions. Understand how people submit you will also increase your chance of escapes in term of predicting your opponent next move.

[@mangoKush12]

the full mount is pretty easy to escape.. i give up my back then get on my knees and roll out of it, it works every time.. sometimes i end up in the other persons guard

[@larkhallman]

Great videos ... as a beginner in Jujitsu these videos are invaluable...Switched from years of Aikido to Jujitsu so your style suits where I want to be ...Thank you

[@dancarney1000]

Great video very clean and clear instructions

[@Kmartee]

These escapes are amazing. Simple, but effective.

[@KenpoMoogy]

Roy, your videos are fantastic! Very well produced and explained. My son, sensei friends and I study your material and really appreciate your thoughtfulness. We're all Kenpo & BJJ guys and your stuff is among the best on youtube. I've trained with some Gracies and the way you teach with theory is a definite equal. Great Job!

[@Iron-Bridge]

Only just discovered this channel. Like a hidden gem for a newbie BJJ student like me 👍

[@LteeP]

i tried the 4:05 technique during a roll yesterday and it worked!! i got off his mount! THANKS A LOT!

[@patriciaaparecida9086]

Parabéns Roy Dean. Sempre acompanhando seu canal aqui do Brasil.

[@langwell929]

Of course, Keep at it. Advice: I'm sure you're used to being the harder and or faster striker like mhua thai and kickboxing to be the upper hand. Its about technique and leverage rather than brute strength. Mind over muscle if you will. Just keep at it. You don't always notice but you're getting better every time you train.

[@iRoyalpriesthood]

I learn stuff on youtube, then use it to own my friends in the gym : )

[@Propagandawar23]

They all work great JarJar. You just cant quit. I constantly work on mount drills and one thing I see is people just stop fighting when they are mounted. Also if your not working on these techniques consistantly youll never get them down.

[@ChickityChoice]

You are a really great teacher.

[@catandcaboodle6492]

Our kids just started Jiu Jitsu this summer, and we are frustrated at them always getting stuck under mounts. I think this video is very much needed for beginners. Very nicely explained, so thank you. I'll let you know how it works for them.

[@Rico702Vegas]

I recommend being extremely selective with who trains your kids. Just because someone is a black belt doesn't mean they have all of their game (i.e. leg locks/hell hooks etc) dialed in. Also, most people have a hard time 1) understanding the particulars of what is going on when they're doing a move and 2) most people can't articulate intelligently enough so that EVERY member of their audience is grasping their instruction nor do they where everyone is following along. I recommend John Danaher's videos and buying a jiu jitsu dummy to practice on. It'll only cost you up front. The rewards of being able to practice anytime you want and show your kids one on one is immeasurable.

[@lolll666]

it's different for everyone because everyone has a different natural grasp of the art as well as different amounts of time they can dedicate and some instructors are more strict with their belts than others (oldschool places are notoriously strict), but white belt can take anywhere from 6 months to 3 years and the rest of the belts are relative to that. i would say the most common number i hear for getting a black belt is 8-12 years

[@TheStigOfDoom]

Nice video! The second to last sweep (with both hands on the hip) actually does work for MMA as well. You do leave your face exposed, but performed right your opponent is too busy trying to regain balance to throw any shots.

[@rusious247]

Great work the bjj world needs more like u very clean and easy to understand.

[@deadmonikor]

Awesome Stuff. My 6 year old wanted to learn "karate", he was taught the first 2 bridge and roll escapes today. It's expensive, but money well spent. It's nice to know he's being taught well.

[@geegee1373]

that last one helps alot!! thanks.. i had a black belt doing that to me all the time and never showed me how to stop the high mount!

[@kb92530]

i feel vulnerable in the mount ! my position is side control i love it !!!

[@forteastro6996]

i couldnt do the escapes good today. drilling on a resisting 270lbs guy was a pain. I have learned to commit more to my shrimping.Ty di

[@RhinoXpress]

At least he tells you when these escapes should be used at what type of competition. Some escapes like the last one isn't MMA safe in which he pointed out.

[@mwato5666]

14 years after.. this video is still a kicker.. 🙂

[@brotendo]

Excellent. I think positional moves and escapes are crucial. Most white and blue belts spend 100% of their time on pure submissions. I'd like to put in a request for side mount defense and escapes next!

[@ggevor1]

Always a pleasure to watch Roy Dean explain BJJ, one of the best instructors

[@nazzhk6268]

An incredibly amazing teacher!

[@GETSOME649]

I have a grappling tournament next month and I can't wait to train these. Very helpful

[@waynelambert2695]

Thank you very much sir!! I'm going to try these mount escapes tonight.

[@boogie56ace]

I'm getting better watching your channel thanks

[@cisforcat]

As a novice I always freak out when I am under the mount. Thanks for the bridge and roll techniques. I will try them at my next BJJ class!

[@patbateman69420]

Are you a black belt yet

[@XxChapter13xX]

great video. the foot drag looks like something i can take to with the natural flexibility in my knees. hip escapes are the coolest. thanks so much!

[@seco4]

I just started working out with more seasoned grapplers. This is going to help me bigtime. Thanks!

[@mikepeterson4061]

What a good teacher.

[@hofferman132]

i love the shrimp escape. works great to get back to guard

[@davidbryan8708]

Mr,Roy Dean..i love your videos,clear instruction,easy to understand,i know you have various dvds such as white belt bible but i would love it if you made technique specific dvds such as a dvd on sweeps only,ecapes only,takedowns and submissions so grapplers like myself can target the areas they need work on specifically

[@fncruz73]

Excellent! Great camera work and detailed explanation.

[@UncannyRicardo]

OMG thank you!!! I just started BJJ and I will 100% fully agree that being mounted is not fun. Infact during my previous classes I actually kinda quit when someone full mounted me. I felt outta breath, like if I was suffecating and was completely helpless. And I tried to use the moves my teacher taught me but the guys were more experience so they didnt work. Bottom line, being full mounted does scare me. I will definitely watch this video nonstop.

[@trn450]

Roy Dean is the man! I love his vids.

[@babyaiko]

you're an execellent instructor

[@AKKressiv]

great vids, great to have people with such knowledge, who take the time to share it on yt. thx

[@blue67strm]

Good techniques. I already use a few of these.

[@1forfun]

These are awesome videos. Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you.

[@Joe22c]

This is a fantastic video! I can't believe I only found these just now. Thank you so much for posting these! I only knew like 2.5 mount escapes prior to this haha

[@jcarr3876]

Awesome instruction, clear, clean and easy to understand thank you sir

[@remy9265]

Gracias Roy. Estoy próximo a rendir examen para cinturón azul y sus enseñamsas han sido fundamentales

[@Piotrek830324]

"Discover who You are" GREAT!! jejejejejejej jejejejej LOL I need to do this escapes 200 times to learn it a little. Great job Roy!! Basic moves to teach me Thank You Arigato! REI

[@drods71]

Very nice escape!!! Keep pumping out awsome videos!!!!

[@fullblastjkd09]

Excellent Roy! Thanks for posting these vids!

[@joonchoi3549]

Young master Roy climbing to heights amazing to behold

[@Zellieth]

Thanks. Was having trouble escaping mount. Maybe next time I won't if I can remember.

[@w1ngchung]

Nice... you are a very good teacher. Thank you.

[@LiveNBleedBoxing]

I honestly think that these are the best instructionals available on the internet.

[@694480]

great work sensei roy dean you keep high standar at your students excellent bjj techniques im instructor at submission grapling and mma trainer greetings from greece

[@lolll666]

you know what's funny, this is the exact reason i am watching this video right now. been watching all this crazy 10th planet stuff and i've seen virtually every move there is to know multiple times, but just last week was my first class and i felt like everything i knew was gone. i got mounted and couldn't do anything.

[@joergus]

Very nice! I like this guy and his teaching!

[@cp3w00]

This is an amazing video. It has helped my defense TREMENDOUSLY! Watched it over a hundred times. Thank you sooooo much for this

[@madwolf8615]

Dis dude is legit ! Great vid

[@sunheechoi2764]

Great video with clear instruction! Thank you very much!

[@STRpros]

It will depend on your ability to learn and the school (instructors). There are some bad instructors. But on average, it will take around 4 months when you start get the feel for it meaning you can beat someone doesn't know jiu jitsu your size or bigger. About 6-10 months to get your blue belt. After that it just how hard you train to move up the ladder. About 8-10 years to black belt i would say. Fastest person to get to black belt that i know is about 3 years but he probably do it full time.

Thank you for showing the move at combat speed. That helps a lot.

[@STRpros]

i learn something new everyday from watching bjj on youtube, as same on this video, i learn not to use much strength yet as a beginner but rather focus on the technique. Go slow until the techniques reach perfection.

[@TheAudiorub]

cant wait to use it at the gym

[@blakemcmahan3960]

Wow this video just popped up. 14 years ago, that is crazy.

[@randommindz6782]

My GOD this video is what I've been looking for! I hate being caught in the mounted position!

[@kkbighead]

I like your videos. They are very clear and good!

[@BoshansStudios]

I do the same thing haha. I always learn a new move then try to use it in rolling.

[@RhinoXpress]

the first two escapes are the most basic and pratical escapes that doesn't require alot of steps and the most easiest to learn.

[@raulmunoz469]

Elegant sir, simply.

[@JarJarAssault]

I was at my BJJ class today and i tried a few of these. I only got one to work, but thats just down to me being new and not knowing anything. But i managed to get out of mount position with a guy waaay more experienced than me. Although he then somehow got and armbar, but still... it works!!

[@Theembodimentchannel]

love it, thanks

[@Pivotist]

nice tut and nice mat it looks really clean

[@danykurniawan12345]

Man thanks,this is really good tuts video i escaped the mount this morning.

[@hb-dc3170]

Just made me that much more dangerous sensei 😠😤😤💪

[@peterrecorejr9388]

Awesome video so well explained and detailed thanks Professor ... Peter

[@19302austin]

@MrColdheadRadioplay no, it is complicated. their are so many moves and escapes to those moves and counters to those escapes, and re- counters to those escapes..... but that is what makes bjj so fun. its like a strategy game in a way. don't give up, you will get good.

[@takedowns101]

This is a great video, really nice and professional instruction.

[@marsnall]

your videos are awesome man, thanks

[@michele18schmidt]

Very good instructions thank you for posting.

[@KCMO2NDTWIN]

Nice work sir! Fluid!

[@JourneyKaLani]

There is an artistry to your application. Thank you!

[@ucandelicious]

Goth daim. I forget how vast the movements of jiujitsu are. There is always and excape.

[@takidabossen]

hehe the standard upa technique i like that the most one of the mount escape ^^

[@todei79]

Great video! The foot drag escape blew my mind! I love it. I have a question on the very last escape though. When you put both arms under his legs and bridge to roll, can't your opponent stop the roll by just bases his hands out?

[@rogerfulgham3941]

Amazing

[@ronjdeo]

Excellent Sansei! Arigato!

[@yinyang9508]

Thanks professor, my professor go’s too quickly.
