BJJ Purple Belt Exam

This is a video of a BJJ Purple Belt exam at the Roy Dean Academy. Probably the first thing you will notice is the Japanese writing on the wall and think this isn't Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Well, it is. Roy Dean is also an Aikido practitioner, and you can tell it heavily influences his school. He is a BJJ Black Belt. He says that he blends some Aikido with his BJJ.

I'm not into the bowing though, I'd rather just shake hands.

Anyway, I thought the video shows a lot of techniques in rapid fire procession and would be of interest for someone new to BJJ. Enjoy!
