Hesitant to pay
I had purchased several of his apps and thought them worth it, however upon changing my device, there have been several resubmitted as a new app and the old one removed, along with an increase in price. Meaning I canβt just re download my apps! I have to buy them again. This makes me hesitant to buy, in case they get taken down and I get fleeced again.

Thank you Roy for the special. I jumped right into it.This one is going to be a great add to all the other amazing instructionals I have from you. Admiration and gratitude for your work.
Chromecast wish list...
I like the app, just wish it was compatible with Chromecast so I can watch on TV as I practice on my dummy...
Response from developer
Thanks for response, we will work on it and try to make it compatible with Chromecast.
Great coaching
Very cluttered though
Response from developer
Noted my team will be taking care of it, your feedback is important for us. Thanks.
a must have
This is a really good application for any one that trains in BJJ or MMA. Good demonstrations, easy to understand and apply at training.
Yay
Great great app!
Response from developer
Thank you. Enjoy your BJJ journey! Cheers
Solid!!!
Excellent explanations, and solid techniques with great camera angles. I love the narration over the sparring sessions. I learn a lot from these, and they hold my interest more. Love the slow-mo on some of the moves. Such a great app.
Response from developer
Thank you for your Solid review of No Gi Essentials! Appreciated.
...but no sound!
Sound only works with headphones. Amazing instruction!
Response from developer
Thank you for your review, our team will look into the issue.
Worth the money
If your starting off in bjj it's an awesome app look at it as 4 training sessions u can revise and review and always have to hand I have learned allot by this app alone wish it was a little cheaper but hey worth the money
Excellent
This is sooo good. Absolutely love it. Just open the first video for 2 mins and I have learnt something new. Laid out in an easy to find format. Videos and instructions are Roy's usual high quality. Love it.
Sickness!
I have a ton of apps and a few books for BJJ gi and nogi and this one is the best that I have seen. I use killer apps, MMA apps (all of them, iBJJ (very good) and all the Stephen Kesting apps from GrappleArts. as well as Sweeps from BJJ apps and a couple others and this one has the best transitions and game theory that I have seen because the moves are stacked on each other and give you a whole game to play from each position based on attempts and fails and opponent reaction. With a counter to counter style of teaching and great pointers along the way these are like mini seminars on key positions and fundamentals giving some whys and wherefores about common mistakes and understanding the position.
They are expensive and not EXHAUSTIVE by any means because you could spend days on just the Kimura alone or any position but these are a great start and for me being in BJJ for a few years now this was a great eye opener to why a position was failing for me or a particular transition so I found them to be great.
They are however not in the typical format so finding a particular move like the rolling kneebar will be tough since it was under the side mount escapes portion at the 5 min mark and everything is done smooth and at game pace from many angles but it moves quickly. So there is a lot of bang for your buck but if you want nothing more than a moves list this will drive you nuts.
BUT if you want to understand BJJ them this is what everyone else is leaving out. transitions. transitions transitions. That is the name of the game, NOT moves. but flow. How to be constantly improving your position and then submitting from a dominant position. These are great if you really want to learn and put in some real mat time. Enjoy.

No gi essentials

Best grappling app
I have loads of grappling and bjj apps this is by far the best excellent layout and presentation. Roy Dean explains everything clearly and also gives loads of variations I watch this over and over. Well worth the money.
Well rounded NO GI app.
This is a great video for all levels of No Gi. Other apps may have more video at a lesser price but the quality in technique you receive from Roy Dean is what you pay for.Thanks for the app bud. Hope to see you at the Oregon Open this year.
Response from developer
Thanks beunexpected2. Appreciated!
Great App
This is a very high quality app. Videos look great, and the interface is dead simple. It would be great to have some sort of written drill plan, as remembering all the details from the video is difficult when practicing (I wrote my own, but something from the author would be better). Roy had a good personality, too, so re-watching videos is not at all annoying. Definitely worth the purchase price.

The best app for no gi by far
Priced too high
Great lessons but $24.99 was not worth it. There are other apps for No Gi that's around $3.99 but have more lessons offered! This should only be priced around $6.99 in my opinion. They better have free updates that includes more moves!
Response from developer
Thanks for the suggestion, we will surely work on it.
Details
Amazing instruction from basic to advanced. All of Roy Deans apps are great. They may seem pricey, but you use more from this app than any other BJJ apps out there. Quality makes this app all worth it. Bring this to where you train and use it with a partner. Does not disappoint.
Response from developer
Thank you for mentioning that, we strive to develop high quality educational content on BJJ trainings. We're glad we didn't disappoint you.
Great!
Some good stuff in here!
Response from developer
That's Great to hear!
BEST BJJ app(s) on the app store!
This guy is a great BJJ instructor.
He teaches very high level techniques with simplicity that anyone can get. The video quality is great. And the app works on the iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone which adds even more value.
The videos are in the app itself instead of being streamed through the internet like some of the other BJJ apps.
It's easily worth the 24.99$ price tag.
Recommended for BJJ newcomers and seasoned practitioners.
