Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Blue Belt Requirements: Fundamentals for All

undefined

Product Description ------------------- The key to effective Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a solid understanding of the fundamentals. In this instructional 2 DVD set, Roy Dean outlines his blue belt requirements for BJJ. escapes, side escapes, armlocks, chokes, leg locks, guard passes and takedowns are all clearly detailed. Also included are perspectives on the journey from white belt to black belt, a look at BJJ combinations, competition footage, and 3 dynamic blue belt demonstrations. Review ------ I've personally seen quite a few white to blue belt instructional videos, but this one has set a new standard. The instruction is clear and concise and the production itself is top notch. I can only hope that Roy chooses to produce more videos in the future for all of us to benefit from, especially for purple belt and higher. -- BJJReviews.net I think that any blue belt that became proficient at the techniques shown would have an excellent base from which to pursue further study of BJJ, and he would be able to justify and defend his ranking against all comers. --Stephen Kesting- Grapplearts.com I recently viewed a copy of Roy Dean's Blue Belt technique videos for his school. I want to say right off the bat that I was flaberted by the awesome technique that Roy presents in his videos. His attention to detail is outstanding! These videos shouldn't be just for his school but for all BJJ students who are trying to master the perfect jiu-jitsu technique. Roy Dean is one of the best teachers I know. The word that comes to mind when thinking about Roy's Jiu-Jitsu technique is the word beautiful. He presents it in such a way that any new person can pick it up easily and will have the upper hand on his classmates in no time!. I personally think that Roy Dean will be one of the top Gi Jiu-Jitsu instructors in the country soon if he is not already. It was an honor to review these videos and I'm excited to see what Roy comes up with in the future. --Keith Owen- BJJ Black Belt- Team Pedro Saur P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Director ------------------ Roy Dean began training in martial arts at the age of 16 when he moved to Japan as an exchange student.
