Taking a small break, gathering my forces for the final push on Brown Belt Requirements.  Thanks to my good friends Bob and Becky for the hospitality at their beautiful Palm Springs oasis.

The Evolution of Brown Belt Requirements

9 Comments, Posted by: Roy Dean in: Media

Brown Belt Requirements continues to evolve.  A 3 DVD set, discs 2 and 3 are complete, and disc 1 continues to be polished and refined.  These things take time.  I’ll also be including an audio CD, “Extended Meditations” which can be listened or rolled to.  I am getting excited about releasing it, since it’s unlike any instructional DVD I’ve ever seen.  Coming in March of 2012.

The New Site

A huge thank you to my friend Rick Ellis for designing the new website, and James Mathias for coding and implementing it.  True professionals.  Poke around and explore their handiwork. Well done!

David Camarillo Lesson

7 Comments, Posted by: Roy Dean in: Training

I feel fortunate to have participated in a private lesson with David Camarillo, Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu founder and an elite level Judo/BJJ black belt.  It was superb.  Dave and I discussed integrating Judo into Jiu Jitsu classes, flying kimuras, and much more.  A very technical time.  The hospitality from Dave and his lovely wife Shumei was also top notch.  Special thanks to “Burns” for being uke.

The best production value of any jiu jitsu video I’ve ever seen.  I am inspired.  Take a look!

Great BJJ match from our friend Marcos Torregrosa.  The transition at 3:30 is a thing of beauty.  Study on this.
