EXCELLENT MATERIAL
Another great instructional by Roy Dean. I like the way he teaches.
One of my go to instructionals to review basics.
It has been a great help in obtaining my blue belt.
Very well explained techniques with amazing cinematography. Highly recommended.
Great instruction, beautiful production.
Simple, to the point. Has helped me a lot as a beginner!
Super Video!
If there is something I love to Roy Dean are his technical details that improves your bjj.
I am a blue belt looking to solidify my knowledge at this level. This was the perfect choice.
Covers a ton of excellent content very efficiently. Good production quality. Quick moving so you will want to watch several times when trying to improve the demonstrated skills.
Roy is a great instructor and very easy to follow. Very articulate and detailed when showing techniques.
Beautifully shot production, great instruction.
I actually had this instructional from another distributor. One of my favorites, had to buy this one from BJJ Fananatics when I found that there was now a version with an index to go to each technique within each chapter!
I love a Roy Dean's style of teaching.
I’m a big fan of Roy Deans way of tracing bjj
Thank you Roy Dean Good video for beginners to have the details that matters in your discovery of BJJ
The Best Starter Video for building fundamentals!!!!
This is an excellent survey of foundational BJJ techniques, covering a wide range of different skills. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5 is that it has to be watched in a web browser (rather than the app) and has no chapter divisions, which makes it challenging to refer back to specific sections or tecniques. For a video that is intended to be a reference work, that's not ideal.
Excellent instruction and video production. My only suggestion is to break it up into segments rather one single video that starts at the beginning every new play.
As an instructor as use Roy Dean's courses as an overview for my blue belt requirements. Lots of great fundamentals!
I bought Blue Belt requirements and then bought the whole collection. Roy Dean is one of the guys whose style is just beautiful, I also like the fact that his students also do continue to go through grading tests. It's such a fountain of knowledge. Pay attention to what Roy Dean says in his videos, it will serve you well.
it helped me to get my new belt
Roy always has the highest quality content. Makes the difficult seem simple.
I started bjj learning these foundations and have never forgotten these movements. I hope to use these to pass in to the next generation. Roy is a detailed teacher and gives a great curriculum for us to learn!
Roy goes over all the stuff I'm learning at my club, but adds some unique twists on things in a helpful manner.
Great Content! Good instructor! Unfortunately not a BJJFanatics video, but a external DVD - so there are no chapters or jump marks!
Video is High Quality, and gives a great overview to BJJ. Techniques work very well and allows one to grasp the basics.
Had to return it because it cannot be accessed offline in the bjj fanatics app. Content seemed good but instructional is only 2 hour long.
I think this was one of the first instructionals I purchased when I started my bjj journey, which wasn't very long ago. The video quality is excellent and actually has an artistic feel to it. But more importantly, Roy is a true teacher. Some instructors are great competetors and ok at teaching. But Roy is clearly an excellent teacher with a passion for Jiu-Jitsu and conveying it in creative ways. Now that I'm a few years into my bjj journey I appreciate these fundamentals even more and find myself going back to review these timeless techniques. Worth every penny.
Detailed instructional videos!
Very good descriptions of the basics required to earn this level
Blue Belt Requirements 2.0 by Roy Dean. Great teacher, helped solidify and refine my foundation.
This structured curriculum provides the proper pace and techniques to build a solid foundation for your BJJ journey. Roy Dean is a detail-oriented teacher that will help you take your game to the next level.
I purchased this item prior to hearing about BJJfanatics. Roy Shows you the techniques and then walks you through step by step using very precise language. Every fine detail has a purpose. This is a must have if you want to move on to blue belt.
Great video from Roy Dean. Step by step instructions on everything a white belt like me needs to improve towards blue belt
I love the pace and the simplicity used in this series. Great for white belts looking for direction, and new blue belts looking to clean up their game. Roy Dean is an excellent instructor. Much appreciated.
Just what I was looking for! Awesome!
just go to the origninal website, literally costs half, don't waste your money
Excellent tutorials, however a little more time spent explaining each move would have been a benefit
This is a comprehensive Gi based instructional (2 hours long) and covers rolls and falls; fundamental BJJ movements (e.g. hip escaping, bridging, etc); takedowns; escapes including from the mount, side control and from the headlock; armlocks and armbars submissions from the guard and from the mount, chokes from the guard and the mount; sweeps from closed guard; submissions from the knee on the belly; back attack submissions; back escapes; guard passing; and leg locks. The last chapter of the instructional covers the triangle from a white belt approach to that of a black belt. Surprisingly other than the two knee on belly submissions that commence from side control this instructional does not cover submissions from side control. The production quality of this instructional is excellent and is a cut above most instructionals. Roy Dean’s instructions are clear and easily understood. As mentioned, the filming is excellent and when techniques are performed there is generally an original view, a close up with a different angle and an overhead view. This repetition with different views does help with learning the technique correctly. From my experience some instructionals have a lot of theory and talking as well as the technique and in contrast there are those instructionals that are more to the point and focus on teaching the technique. This instructional is more of a technique based instructional. Noting that the limitation that this instructional does not include side control submissions (hence the four star rating), this instructional would suit and benefit a person starting out on their BJJ journey or those that want to improve their techniques or equally those people teaching BJJ students. If this is you, then I think you will gain a lot from this instructional.
Grate instruction, it helped me a lot. Thank you
Roy is an excellent teacher band one of the nicest people in the BJJ scene. Very smooth Jiu-Jitsu, both standing and on the ground. This instructional is for every white belt who wants good basic techniques, every blue belt who wants to refine his/her skills and for every instructor who appreciates a structured curriculum and high quality teaching.
Excellent instructional. Very easy to understand and apply. This has definitely improved my game. I highly recommend this instructional. I recently returned to BJJ. This is a must for anyone making their way to blue belt. Instructor should be a professor 🙏�.
I really enjoyed this instructional, Roy has a very clear and precise way of articulating positions & diving deeper into each of the positions. His videos are excellent quality and at a very good pace, which gives you time to consume the lessons. This has helped me tremendously focus on fundamentals and improve my positioning in rolls.
It's a good review to check what skills and technique you need to have in order to be a blue belt. Even if you're already promoted, some of the extras here would help.
I appreciate Roy's slow and methodical teaching style. All moves are repeated from multiple angles to show nuance and capability.
One of the best instructional video to bridge the gap between white and blue belt. Recommend 👍�
Fun and easy to learn, Roy Dean is the best!
Very well explained and demonstrated. It's nice to have a limited set of techniques to start practicing, that work well together and cover the fundamentals. What i don't like however, is that we don't get to download the content on the this site. Even though the product is paid for in full. But this is a critique of Bjj Fanatics and not the fault of Roy Dean.
