You were awesome Jimmy! I keep watching your video because I can’t believe how fluid you are. The throws were especially great and of course your sidemount escape to triangle is always fun to watch. Great demonstration.

Jimmy, you’re an inspiration to us all. That was beautiful.

I’ve been reading the comments on YouTube and it is obvious that people are super impressed with this performance. Jimmy continues to be the standard bearer for RDA. Crisp technique and fluid movement are evident. Looking back at the purple belt test (which is a benchmark in its own right) it is obvious how much improvement you have made. The big difference I see is the presence throughout the transitions; you keep tension and pressure while you move between the techniques. Very, very impressive.
I feel privileged to train with you and always learn a lot being on the mat with you.

Congratulations Jimmy! You are a true technician, a pleasure to watch, and as T.J. said, the standard to aspire to. I still look forward to possessing the technical fortitude displayed in your test for purple, let alone the elevation and fluidity you’ve shown from then until now. Amazing display, and I don’t envy myself this missed time training with you all, as well as missing the phenomenal growth of RDA. Good things!

It was a privilege to watch your demo and to enjoy the wisdom, skill and maturity of Mr. Harris’ seminar.

Jimmy, it was an honor to roll with you that day. I greatly appreciate the opportunity. You looked fantastic. And, now that you can breathe again, I hope you look back at this video and see just how great and fluid you look. You are well deserving of the ranking and I look forward to seeing you on the mat once you have recovered.

Well done, Sir. That was an excellent demonstration of skill and technique.
The editing was excellent also.

Unbelievable Jimmy! Just like i knew it would be, sorry I missed it, would have loved to have been there. I think I speak for many RDA members when I say it is a pleasure to attempt to follow in your footsteps and I can’t think of a better person to carry the torch for the Academy. I try very hard to model my game after yours and this video is a perfect example of why, congratulations Jimmy…

Have to agree with all other comments. A video of great production with an outstanding display and understanding or BJJ. I like the wrist lock takedown during the final match.

Jimmy - What you bring to the academy is a high standard for all of to strive towards. Excellent display of skill and character. It is always a pleasure to be on the mat with you!

You’re a freak, Jimmy! Few people have the desire, discipline, and motivation to train like you do. Congrats!

Jimmy, great job on your demonstration. Inspiring to witness. Thanks for your encouragement and support, from the
first day I trained at the academy, you have always been supportive and enthusiastic. It has been a cool journey training
with you and the group. I feel fortunate to be able to train with Roy Dean and the students that he has brought together.
