All grapplers and MMA students should be required to watch this DVD. --Stephan Kesting From the title, you might think this will be a comprehensive compendium of basic BJJ techniques. You'd be wrong: that's already been well covered in Blue Belt Requirements. Roy Dean's latest release functions more as a distillation of his take on grappling as a whole, covering judo, aikido, traditional jujutsu and of course Brazilian jiu jitsu. There is also plenty of his trademark artistry included, such as training with Saulo Ribeiro, a mini-documentary on a trip to London and musing about the difference between white and black belts. The White Belt Bible serves as a useful introduction to the viewer with a general interest in grappling martial arts, presenting the quintessence of judo, aikido and BJJ. --Slideyfoot Roys latest work is his way of introducing men, women, boys, and girls to the beautiful and intricate world of Jiu Jitsu by encompassing not only Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but also the sister martial arts that lent a hand in creating it such as Kodokan Judo, Jujutsu, and Aikikai Aikido, all of which Roy holds a black belt or higher in. This DVD is unique in that it is not just an instructional teaching the basic positions of BJJ. Experienced practitioners can learn plenty from this DVD, but its bigger than that; its about the Theory and Practice of Jiu Jitsu. --Ryno BJJ
