Chewjitsu

If you injure someone during Jiu-jitsu training, are you responsible? This is the heart of the question I answer in today's BJJ Q&A video. The question was asked by several different people recently, so I wanted to touch on the topic. Injuries suck and it's one of the downsides to training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. . . or any sport really. But at the same time, even if you don't train you'll probably experience some injuries and wear and tear on the body regardless. But either way, in today's BJJ video I'll give you some ideas to chew on regarding injuries in the gym and if you're responsible for your training partner who was hurt during an accidental situation. Hope the video helps. -Chewy ----------------- Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focused-jiu-jitsu-13-page-ebook/ Video Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/products T shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shop/ http://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsu http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu http://www.twitter.com/Chewjitsu Intro/Outtro Music : https://bknapp.bandcamp.com If you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

The other day I did a little experiment! I took my Chewjtisu gi made by Origin in 'Murica and put it up against my old Chewjitsu gi made overseas. ​ My Origin has their American pearl weave unique to them and my other gi has a traditional pearl weave we’ve all used. ​ Here’s what I did. ​ #1 I weighed them. The Origin was slightly lighter but both were hovering close to 3lbs. Pretty normal for my gis. Mind you I hate ultra-light gis. Thin fabric is hell for breaking grips. ​ #2 I washed them and then weighed them again. I wanted to see which one retained more water. The traditional pearl weave retained about twice as much water, while the Origin top felt almost dry to the touch and the pants were slightly damp. The fact that the Origin top was almost dry really surprised me. This may not seem like a big deal. But part of the reason why gis get so hot is because they get soaked with water and your sweat can't evaporate efficiently. This is why moisture wicking clothes keep you cool. #3 I dried them on high heat. I wanted to see which 1 dried faster. Sadly, Jess and I got distracted watching a show and I didn’t do my 1st test until after 15 minutes. But at 15 minutes my Chewjitsu gi by Origin was bone dry while my old school Chewjitsu gi was still a bit damp. Speaking of fast drying Chewjitsu gis.

What would be better for someone in Jiu-jitsu, a private lesson or BJJ instructional series? This is the question we have from 1 of the viewers. So in today's video I'll get down into the ideas that I think are really important when considering a private lesson with a BJJ coach or an instructional series. It really boils down to being able to answer a very specific question before you buy the lesson or course. If you cannot answer this question, then you'll probably get subpar results from the private lesson or course. But if you have an answer, you'll be able to approach the information with focus and get the most from it. So, if you're considering 1 or the other, I hope the video helps. -Chewy ----------------- Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focused-jiu-jitsu-13-page-ebook/ Video Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/products T shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shop/ http://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsu http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu http://www.twitter.com/Chewjitsu Intro/Outtro Music : https://bknapp.bandcamp.com If you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

When should you be tight, and when should you lighten up in side control in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? This is the question for today's video. And it's a good one. Oftentimes it feels good, safe, to really squeeze someone in side control. But it limits the mobility you have to snag submissions. On the other hand, being too loose allows space for the person to move but opens up more opportunities for escapes. Like most positions in BJJ there is a balance you have to strike and use different focuses like a set of tools. And in this video I'll give you a few ideas to chew on in regards to using side control effectively and when it's a good idea to be ultra-tight and when it might be better to loosen up just a bit to go on the offensive. Hope the video helps with your training. -Chewy ----------------- Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focused-jiu-jitsu-13-page-ebook/ Video Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/products T shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shop/ http://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsu http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu http://www.twitter.com/Chewjitsu Intro/Outtro Music : https://bknapp.bandcamp.com If you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

In today's video I answer a question from a viewer who struggles with cardio in BJJ. He says that he's training hard and doing all the stuff that you would normally do, but he can't seem to improve his cardio on the mats. In this video I share a story about 1 of my best friends who started Brazilian Jiu-jitsu with me back in 2003. For several years we basically ate, slept and trained together all the time. Our schedules were nearly identical. But for whatever reason his cardio never improved as fast as mine. I share why this happened in the video. Now, disclaimer, this may not be the reason for someone else, but it's worth checking out in case you're having similar issues as the person asking the question in the video. Thanks for watching.

Today's video is a breakdown of some useful ideas and concepts on how to make the Butterfly Guard work for sweeps in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. These are principles that helped me understand the position better and be more effective with Butterfly Guard sweeps. So I hope they do the same for you. Keep in mind, these are ideas that I personally find useful and this is my personal philosophy on this BJJ position. It certainly isn't the only way to do it. But if you use the principles and concepts in this video I can help imagine you'll be much better at sweeping from the Butterfly Guard. Thanks for watching the video, and good luck with your training. -Chewy ----------------- Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focused-jiu-jitsu-13-page-ebook/ Video Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/products T shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shop/ http://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsu http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu http://www.twitter.com/Chewjitsu Intro/Outtro Music : https://bknapp.bandcamp.com If you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

In today's video I address a common question I get which is "how do you get better at escaping bad positions in BJJ?" In the video I'll discuss some ideas for your training, share how I do it with my students and also clip in some shots from our training inside the gym. My ideas on how to structure training to facilitate better escaping abilities in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu came from my own experience where I found a simple way of rolling that rapidly improved my side control and mount escapes. Afterwards I made my students do the same thing and noticed they had a positive increase in their abilities as well. Now, I know you're probably not a Brazilian Jiujitsu coach, so I offer some ideas on how to do it inside your gym during rolling or open mats. Hope the video is useful to you. -Chewy ----------------- Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focused-jiu-jitsu-13-page-ebook/ Video Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/products T shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shop/ http://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsu http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu http://www.twitter.com/Chewjitsu Intro/Outtro Music : https://bknapp.bandcamp.com If you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

Today's Q&A comes from a BJJ Black Belt who feels homeless. Basically, he's involved in a business partner with his coach and is starting to surpass him during rolling. This would normally be seen as a good thing. A job well done by the coach. But our friend, Bob, says that it's creating a toxic environment. He says that because of this he has a place to train, but it doesn't feel like home. So, in this video I gives some ideas to chew on for possibly mending the relationship and keeping things together. -Chewy ----------------- Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focused-jiu-jitsu-13-page-ebook/ Video Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/products T shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shop/ http://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsu http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu http://www.twitter.com/Chewjitsu Intro/Outtro Music : https://bknapp.bandcamp.com If you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

In today's video I answer a question from a White Belt about a situation that I think happens with just about every BJJ White Belt when they roll with higher belts or coaches. When you watch the video think back to whether or not you had this experience early on in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. And if you're a newer practitioner then think about whether or not it still happens. And if it does happen then I hope the idea with mindset helps you overcome the obstacle I talk about in the video. -Chewy ----------------- Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focused-jiu-jitsu-13-page-ebook/ Video Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/products T shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shop/ http://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsu http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu http://www.twitter.com/Chewjitsu Intro/Outtro Music : https://bknapp.bandcamp.com If you’d ever like to train with the team and I.
