Thanks for watching Ray's Crucible | Every Black Belt is Special | Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - กีฬา
What means the most to me about these videos is watching not just the person being tested but the ones doing the testing. All of Dean's crucibles, especially at the higher levels, demonstrate a respect that is admirable. It's not about going as hard as you can and trying to beat up your opponent, it's about challenging them, putting them in situations and forcing them to react. I really saw that here in the second round with Hardee Merritt. Nothing is given for free, but when a technique was applied properly there was progress. On the other hand when an opening was presented, it was taken. That's what a test should be, not just an opportunity to brag about who tapped who how many times. I'm always awed by the high technical level of Dean's students, they're all next level. Congratulations and thanks for being an inspiration for all of us.
I’ve been watching Roy Dean and his black belt crucibles for years. This one dropped today and I also received my black belt today as well.
Congratulations!
Congratulations on your black belt!
Congrats. Yesterday made one year for me and it still feels oddly surreal.
whoah congratulations! thats amazing.
Congratulations!
This is one of the most fascinating demonstrations of jiujitsu I've ever seen.
Thank you!
I agree!
Isn't it!!!!......and for his age
Considering his age, size, and quality of opponents this was a very impressive crucible. Well done, and well deserved.
Do you know how old Ray is?
@@jaimepardo no I don't. From the intro info I presume late 50's to mid 60's though.
This is jiu-jitsu. I am amazed.
The respect, the discipline, the fluidity, this is just a masterful and beautiful display of movement, technique, and everything I believe BJJ to be.
We live in a world that is beginning to lack respect for the tradition and honour that the early masters believed were essential to forging a well rounded leader and human being strong in body and mind. But this is a clear display of it's value and benefits. You can feel this man's control and focus through the screen.
I'm a purple belt who's lucky enough to train under Jeff Joslin. Jeff is by far the best professor I've ever had and one of the few instructors left who test for belts, something I'm extremely proud of and grateful for. The only belt we don't test for is black.
What I'm seeing in this video is an example of familiarity with positions, transitions and combinations that I don't think most Black belts could demonstrate with such ease. I would absolutely love to get my black belt this way and I wish this test was available to outsiders.
Making the trek to a remote location so I can challenge myself by putting on a demonstration like this in front of other legitimate black belt peers would be a dream.
Thank you for sharing this. Oss 🙏🥋
Thank you @bryanfontez
This is now my second time watching this and I can't even put words to the spectacular display of Ray's arts. Special and non-replicable. Thank you for sharing and Congratulations Ray
I'm a Brazilian brown belt and I love this video! Every now and then I watch it again, for me it works as if I were rereading a book that I really like. I love the filming, the philosophy and the fluidity of the movements! I hope to roll with one of you in the near future!
thank you @kitovilela
Rays style is so sick! Loved the technique demonstrations. Props to Hardee on taking those 10 combinations lol brutal
Hats off to the the uke I've trained in preparation. Hardee san was gracious to volunteer during the examination. Hardee san took great ukemi.
Thank you. Yes, Hardee San was gracious.
Ray, how beautiful and how amazing! I am 52 and received my blue belt a few months ago. Your video is an inspiration to me to stay on the path. Well done sir!
Keep going @adamyork2333, no matter how difficult it is - take it one step at a time. Ganbatte!
This guy is so fluid. Love watching him roll.
I’m only 6 mins in and I’m already losing my mind. There’s SO much I want to learn from this practitioner. I knew he was something else when he rolled with you in your last dan grading vid. Awesome stuff!!
Wow, Ray's Jiu Jitsu is beautiful to watch
The addition of aikido and, (escrima maybe?) was an amazing addition to an already standout demonstration. Congratulations Ray, well done 😮
Yes. I incorporated Eskrima, Kali and/or Filipino Martial Arts. Thank you and sharp eyes!
I'm not even 10 minutes in and Ray is one of my favorite crucibles that I've ever seen. His blend of technique, personality, and immersion of other arts really show in his game. Holy crap the hand throws remind me of kenpo
The hand throws or wrist locks came from both Aikido and Shorinji Kempo. Some of the disarms are from Kali (Filipino Martial Arts). Thank you for watching.
One day..., will get there!
Stepped on the matt for the first time 34 days ago, and it was the best decision I have ever made!
Now, however long it takes, I will enjoy the journey.
Just keep on truckin'. It's what I did and continue to do, keep stepping on the mat. I'll get "there" somehow.
What a phenomenal video! Well deserved!! Roy your videos are on another level! Looking forward to the next one!
Im not ashamed to say i cried watching this. So transformative. Im just a blue belt and i have a long way to go, but seeing this is so inspiring to me.
Most people quit at blue belt. But you won't. You will be a black belt in 8 years. Wait and see.
There's no shame in it. Thank you for having the courage to share your feelings. It takes guts. If you think it's a long way, just keep "walking" and someday you'll get to where you want to go. In the meantime, cherish the new friendships along the way.
Stunning narrative, fantastic performance, and overal beautiful, pure energy of respect and humility. With the last 20 second you made me cry. Master Roy, may you be happy, healthy and free from bondage of any kind, may all what you wish for manifest in your life for the good of you and all sentient beings.
These are always so great to watch!
I am so looking forward to this. These crucible videos are such a source of inspiration for me!!
Love the edit on this. Call outs and replays on specific subs, etc during the rolls is awesome.
Black belt crucibles are always so well documented, and the display of technique is always breathtaking. Please NEVER stop documenting these!!!
What an artist, a beautiful example of talent and hard work combined. Kudos to you Ray. Congratulations.
Absolutely everything about this video is outstanding! I love your videos Mr. Dean!
Wow! These never get old. Great demo and performance!
This has got to be one of my favorite videos! It is beautiful and graceful.
Thanks for posting.
I am watching these for years now and I can't help it. I am always moved to tears at the end.
Amazing. I watch every single one of Roy Dean's crucibles. Every one of them puts the fire in me for the pursuit of skill in the art and sport of jiu jitsu.

Thank you. Happy to hear you like the BJJ interpretation of incorporating Aikido and Kali (FMA)
Congratulations! 💥 👏🏽
Congrats Ray!! Wow! This may have been the best Black Belt demo yet. The variety and timing of moves, strategy ...damn....it's all here! What an amazing video!
Thank you! As BJJ evolves, one could see aspects of Judo, wrestling, Sambo and many others. In my BJJ interpretation, I wanted to incorporate aspects of Aikido and Kali.
always solid stuff coming from these students
Beautiful ceremony. Amazing and inspiring performance. Thanks for sharing this. Greetings from Chile 🙏🏻

Beautiful video, congratulations Ray.
Awesome! Very great, congrats for apresentation. Brazil!!!

One of the best Jiujitsu demo I've seen so far on youtube. I was surprised to see old school techniques like Kote gaeshi.
It was amazing watching this crucible 🙏🥋 It's nice to see this kind of approach once in a while, with the respect and humility, honoring japanese martial arts traditions and just being all kinds of awesome!
Thank you. Prof Roy Dean did a remarkable job in editing to reflect the message that he and I wanted to communicate via video.
Wow, This was beautiful.

Melhor canal sobre jiu jitsu que existe
Beautiful dojo
What a beautiful dojo!
I used to train under Cesar Clavijo (white & Red GI) at his Gym in South Carolina (2017). What beast, he always had so much Poise on the mat. He was a brown belt at the time but honestly had he been under anyone els he would have already had his black. Just a testament to how truly deserving these guys are and how much it really is earned.
Hey Anthony, I hope you’re well!
such a beautiful story such an amazing video
Beautiful work, I learned a lot just from watching it, congratulations to the athlete, I admire your work Mr. Dean, I would love to learn from you. Greetings from Venezuela.
