Rapid Skill Development
This is very very very useful information for all jiu-jitsu practitioners and coaches. Thank you for making this instructional set of videos!!!
A Highly Important and Underappreciated Topic
This instructional is NOT just another series of countless techniques that you're going to forget a few days after watching them. Mr. Harris teaches new and experienced grapplers how to take charge of your skill progression by giving you a framwork to organize and measure your progression. The best part of this instructional is that it can be applied to learning any skillset outside of BJJ and you will still be getting a return on your investment. Also, don't forget to download your .pdf booklet after you purchase the course! I tought it was a great addition.
Unique approach to progression

Great stuff!
Awesome material!
positioning inside the guard
loved this part. I have not so good knees and posturing up doesnt agree with my knees. Solved this by pinning partner on the biceps but the way you explained works better. Thank you!
Rapid Skill Development
Roy Harris gives very detailed instruction and information. His instructionals are top notch. I met him once and he is a very humble and intelligent man who offers first class instruction. Don't cheat yourself, BJJ Fanatics offers you an excellent opportunity to learn from this martial arts legend.
Very helpful
This is not an instructional on techniques, but rather on how to learn and apply techniques. I found it very helpful and I have been able to apply some new ideas with techniques I have always known but found difficult to make effective. Of particular interest ,for myself, was the section on breaking down techniques and the phases as outlined by professor Harris. A very unique instructional.
Great beginner instructions
Roy Harris delivers remarkable basic methods with great details

solid info
great concepts and principles
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€Great perspectives
This instructional offers different perspectives about how to approach bjj learning overall, whether you are a white belt or a teacher. Great investment in the long run !
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€Roy is a genius!
Love this instructional, this will help you progress faster and it can be applied to other systems one practices IMO, excellent purchase!
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€Great
Awesome
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€Very good!
One of my favorite videos! I have learned a lot from this one. Very different from other videos by other teachers.
Great value for every kind of jiu jitsu
Whether if you practice jiu jitau for self defense or as a sport or also to compete you will get a huge turnover rate of this instructional. The definitions of the terms technique, practice and training or the stages from practice to mastery are so sensible itself that they alone have the potential to elevate your jiu jitsu. Combined with all the given examples and the defensive and ofensive pisitioning as well as the mindset and theory of how to train your emotional control you get a well rounded and long-term gameplan for constant improvement!! One of the best concepts out there!!
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€π€π»Great
Excellent instructional with less spoken about strategies.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€π€π»Unique and effective approaches to drilling and consolidating information.
Roy Harris is a unique mind in BJJ. Here he presents a treasure trove of methods that turn can knowledge into useable, workable skills. Beyond the drilling systems, I find value in the way Mr. Harris articulates things as well. He's definitely a deep thinker. The outline(s) presented here can be used toward mastering any information and sequences you are currently trying to master.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€π€π»Very good
Harris has good stuff here. Will take some time to digest the message, but will prove helpful.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»New way to learn
His method helps. You can apply it to learning in class or on video. You will need to pay attention to get a good understanding of the f.b.i.a.o. but once you understand you can take learning to a whole new level. -Respect
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Excellent info on how to
Excellent info on how to get more out an instructional and be a better learner. I love the thorough explanations and got more out of it the second time watching. The techniques shown, while not the emphasis of this instructional, are still great.
Incredible Course! Very Helpful
Since Iβm in my 40βs, Iβm looking for every possible help I can in order to train more efficiently. This course has really helped me to take a step back, and really consider how I train and how I can be a better learner as well as a helpful training partner to the other students at my academy. This is definitely a course I will refer back to a lot as I progress in my Jiu-Jitsu journey.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Informative and weβll done! Thank
Informative and weβll done! Thank you BJJ Fanatics!
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Worth a look
Good information, easily understandable.
Roy Harris Rapid Skill Development
Disclaimer: I have been a student of Roy Harris since 1993 and am proud to have earned a black belt in BJJ under him. Roy Harris is one of the best instructors (of not just BJJ but any of the many skills that he possesses) out there. He is a student of the game and has learned and studied and devoted much thought to the workings behind the system. Additionally he is a patient, thorough, and kind instructor. Now living in another state I donβt get to drink from the fountain as often as I would like. To make up the gap I absorb his videos. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that he created a new video on Rapid Skill Development and I anxiously purchased it at my first opportunity! I have now completed my first viewing of it and wanted to offer a review for anyone considering purchasing the video. If you are looking for a video with dozens of flashy techniques to impress your friends, you may be disappointed in this video. This video is not about techniques but is an opportunity to look behind the curtain and see how to train to improve your skills. Roy does teach some techniques in the video, but they are presented as a vehicle to teach the methods behind learning BJJ rather than a primer on how to do a technique. With this video a student either a beginner, intermediate, or advanced can incorporate a βroad mapβ to excellence in BJJ, whether you are training at a Harris Affiliate or any other school. The methods taught in the video are transferrable. I feel very fortunate to have started my BJJ journey under the watchful eye of Roy Harris in a dance studio in Pacific Beach. And I now count myself as fortunate to have purchased this video and completed my first of many viewings of this video (as it will take many viewings to truly absorb the material) to improve my own BJJ game as well as the deeper understanding that I will now be able to pass on to my students.
Well structured, enjoyable instructional
Roy Harris delivers a fantastic instructional highlighting an effective method to get better at BJJ. Rather than show a ton of techniques Prof.Harris provides a structure to work from in order to get better, while showing techniques as examples. Hes also one of the only instructors I know that highlights the bit before the escape, defensive positioning, which has been effective for me already. This instructional is well worth getting.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Excellent!
This will take re-watching over and over again to fully digest. But it's a great method to learn any technique and I highly recommend it.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Rapid Skill Development Roy Harris
Coach Harris demonstrates brilliant analysis and information about BJJ and how to use fundamentals in advanced strategies. Absolutely brilliant π�
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Smart BJJ
Roy Harris is one of the most underrated teachers in BJJ and his knowledge is really really deep. In this series he is just giving a glimpse of his BJJ and he will give you some great ideas and food for thought. If you are interested in a smart way of training this series will help you a lot
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€π€π»Perfect Timing!
Excellent course for all skill levels! With life changes I stepped away from BJJ for several years and recently getting back to it. Having known Professor Harris thru his JKD/Kali and BJJ for nearly 20 years and knowing that he brings the highest quality in instruction; this course was nothing short. If you are seeking a course to help you develop your skill rather than focusing on the newest world title technique... then this is the course for you. It is explained very clearly and lays the foundations on how to truly develop our abilities rather than just adding more techniques. In this regard the course VERY UNIQUE and a great course to revisit several times. Thank you Professor Harris for taking the time to make the course available, and to teach us how to be students!
Awesome video
This is an amazing training tool. Everyone shows techniques but this video shows how to train, to be better, in a shorter time. This is a must for coaches and students.
Lots of instant application!
Iβve been a fan of Royβs teaching style for many years and was excited that he released a program on BJJ fanatics. 3 volumes and plenty of easy to digest info, Roy also demonstrates easy to apply fundamentals that even myself used in training right after watching the instructional. Also, after purchasing, you receive a pdf file that compliments the instructional. This is great info for all belts from beginners to the most seasoned black belts.
Years of Seminars in One Instructional
Iβm very impressed with this instructional. It teaches how to learn, which is a skill that came be applied to every class you go to, every seminar, and every instructional you watch. Focusing on the learning process and organization will also assist me as an instructor.
Be efficient and effective with your BJJ training
Professor Harris is an expert in training jiu jitsu instructors and developing training methodology. If you want to be efficient and effective, I recommend this video. Roy Harris has extensive experience as an instructor and knows how to identify the needs from a policeman, bjj/mma competitor or just an occasional martial arts student.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€Great instructional that can save you wasted time on the mats
This instructional is all about attention to detail, learning to train/drill, and improving your skills as quickly as possible. I always tell lower belts that if they've already put in the effort of showing up to bjj class, why not maximize every single minute of that class with attention to detail and execution of their target techniques? This instructional helps people learn the mindset of improving faster, and making use of every minute of training.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Very Impressed
Im beyond impressed with the content of this program, I just played the videos throu to see what was the hype about, never heard of these concepts before, especially "Training Methods". I was considering buying lots of programs to learn a bunch of techniques, but I think I will just stick to what this program has to offer to improve what I already know. Highly recommended
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€π€π»Rapid skillset development.
Iβve been using Mr harris system for over a year now since i was exposed to his previous apps, and i have to say that, i went from passing the guard from white, blue and purple belts, to now some higher belts avoid rolling with me because i'm using Roy Harris system. If youβre serious about pursuing a very efficient leverage based jiujitsu, then you wonβt be disappointed if you grab this program, people will be asking you how did you get better so fast!! lol Give this a try
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Awesome
Knowledge and profound understanding of the art, this is Gold for all levels
