Roy Dean is a black belt product of the Roy Harris style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, methodical, meticulous, and masterful.

There is no shortage of highly detailed instruction that both Dean and his instructor, Roy Harris, provide in a manner that is both easy to comprehend and easy to follow.

This outstanding production from Roy Dean is a great first release.

Roy Dean's Year One DVD gives an insight into his unique blend of Traditional Martial Arts aesthetic & community and the devastating effectiveness of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

The seminars on the DVD are fantastic. Roy Dean's combination attacks from the guard position and Roy Harris' Open Guard control & passing counters could have each been their own DVD (though no quality is lost by placing them both on this disc).

Typically, when I watch a new grappling instructional, I look for one new idea that I can incorporate into my own training. From the Roy Harris segment alone, I picked up three "I need to use these" moves, and three more "I need to add these when I am ready" techniques...not to mention the new material I saw in Roy Dean's sections!

The extra features are great. The Purple Belt exam, tournament footage, and commercial all help build the great vibe that Roy Dean's teaching and school have. Pick up this DVD and see what his unique flow is all about!

Good dvd. I would have liked more actual instruction. Much of it is demonstration. The Roy Harris portion saves this disc from being just a cool BJJ dvd and makes it a true instructional. His open guard control portion is absolutely great. I'd prefer to see more seminar style instructionals like that where you can hear the instruction instead of just seeing it set to music.

Discover who you are
This DVD’s purpose was to allow the world to see what Roy Dean is doing with his unique blend of BJJ. I don’t really see it as an instructional although the insight given during the seminars was top notch. I see this DVD more as a coming out DVD for Roy Dean. His follow up DVD Blue Belt Requirements was a true instructional DVD and had loads of information this DVD kind of paved the way for the DVD’s yet to come. I think Roy has raised the bar in the terms of quality for dvds. Although the sound during the seminar was a little muffled it was a seminar and not an actual instructional so it can be easily overlooked. If you don’t know who Roy Dean or Roy Harris is pick up this DVD and prepare yourself for some grade A BJJ.

I was very impressed with Roy Dean and Master Roy Harris. I am Absolutely addicted to anything jiujitsu... although when watching most instructionals they get pretty tedious and end up putting you to sleep. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and i even started a journal of notetaking!!!! Thanks Roy Dean....
