Back by popular demand is a video with some rolling. But as I mentioned in 1 of my past videos. I didn't want to show crazy highlights of me trying beat up my students or anything like that. But I figured it would be fun to include you in on one of our classes. So in today's BJJ rolling video you'll get to be a fly on the wall for 1 of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes and hang out, learn a little Jiu-jitsu and even catch some of the banter and friendly trash talk in between rolls. The class was focused on triangle defense and counters as well as breaking the guard. So after technique we did a lot of rolling focused on the guard passing battle and rolled with a special rule where a person wins if they lock guard. I explain why in the video. Hope you enjoy the clips from class. -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 young guy who's had a run in with an insecure BJJ coach. Here's the deal. While on vacation with family he decided to do what many of us do. . . find a place to train. He said he had a great experience at the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym he visited and didn't think anything of it. That is, until he got a nasty message from his coach on social media who was angry he trained somewhere else. With that, Miguel wanted to know what my advice would be on how to deal with this situation. So in the video I share some experiences I had in the past that were similar as well as a friend of mines and try to give him a few useful perspectives to chew on. If you're in a similar situation, then I hope it 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.

Today's BJJ technique video is a continuation of the passing idea I shared last week about using half guard to slow down younger, faster or more athletic opponents. In today's video I answer a question about the Reverse Half Guard position as a question came up on the original video. I show some details on how to use the Reverse Half Guard position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, so you don't get reverse or lose control of your opponent. But also, how to strategically place your weight on your opponent to apply maximum pressure. This can be a great position whether you're older and need to slow down the young whipper snappers in your class or if you just run into someone who has a really mobile guard. If you're trying to figure out ways to slow down training partners or opponents with guard passing then I hope this video is useful to you! -Chewy P.S.

Recently I was asked what it means to survive as a White Belt in BJJ. The question comes from a new White Belt who hears "you need to survive" all the time in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes. So I answer the question and talk about the idea of surviving during practice with skill and technique but also surviving through the rough part of learning a new skill. Learning a new skill is tough, it's never easy, and I explain 1 of the mental road blocks that happens with people and how to work through it. Hope the ideas in the video are helpful! -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 show a simple half guard top position I've been working on to slow things down with guard passing in BJJ, especially No Gi. If you've watched any of my stuff in the last year or so you've probably heard me complain about being older. I'm not old by normal standards but by athletic standards I am. I also have some super tough young Purple, Brown and Black Belts that give me all I can handle. So, to slow down the speed with the passing on top I've been focused on a specific position a lot. It's very similar to a position I've used in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for years and shown on the channel. But in the video, I show some specific adjustments I've been working in to stay tighter, add more pressure and slow my opponents down. -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.

Recently I've received a lot of questions from new coaches who are moving into the new phase of their BJJ which requires them to coach and teach others. So with that, I figured I'd do some videos specifically for coaches in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Today's video is answering the question I've received from new coaches who are curious if there is any 1 mistake that I see new coaches make in BJJ. So in the video I address the most common mistake I see coaches make in BJJ (new or otherwise). Hopefully after the video you'll worry less about being impressive and more focused on being effective to the students. Hope the video helps 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.

In today's video I finally answer a question that I've been asked tons of times over the years. And that question is about how to do BJJ if you have a rib injury. I never had a good answer for rib injuries because it's not something I had much experience with as a coach or an athlete. Well, over the past 2 years 1 of my Black Belts experienced an issue with a rib injury. And, he found away to work around it using 2 methods which I talk about in the video. And, surprisingly, after it was all said and done, he's actually far better at Jiu-jitsu than he was before. So, if you're dealing with a rib injury then I hope this video is useful to you! -Chewy P.S Here's the padding he wears under his rashguard. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07BL3MV2J?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title ----------------- 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 BJJ technique question comes from Spencer who's getting to a Kimura from the bottom but is unable to finish it. He sent me a question asking for options based on the position he was getting to. As a Kimura guy I know the exact issue he's running into. So, in the video I show 2 different armbar options I've used in competitions. They're just basic variations of the corkscrew armbar. If you find yourself in the same situation, then I hope the techniques help. -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.

Comparison is the thief of joy, right? Well, possibly. Comparison can also be an incredibly helpful. It just depends on what you're comparing. And in this video I get into this idea to answer a question from James who says he's struggling with comparing his BJJ journey to other people's. He says he knows he shouldn't do it, but he does it anyway and it's negatively affecting him. So in the video I'll share more about some of the better things to compare that could be useful to you in BJJ and in other area of your life. 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.

If you were the only person in your bracket for a BJJ competition, would you rather go up in weight or down in age? This is the question I got asked recently by one of the viewers. In this Q&A video I'll share what I'd do and what I have done in situations where I needed to move weight classes or age brackets for a BJJ tournament. That said, you'll need to make your own decision if you're ever in that situation and I'll share a basic way to decide based on the results in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practices.

Recently I got a question about whether or not inverting is a necessity for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners' game. Meaning they have to learn it. She asks because she's been messing around with the position and finds it's hurting her neck. So, in this video I address the situation and answer about whether or not you must invert in order to be good at BJJ. If you're someone who's struggling with the same situation, then I hope the video gives you a useful perspective to chew on for 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.

Recently I got a question about defending the Kimura from half guard. So in this video I show 3 of my favorite ways to defend and counter the Kimura from half guard top. The best part about the counters is that they're very sneaky. To be honest I don't see many people using the grip this way but it's brutally effective because it turns their strong figure 4 grip into a problem as allows you to catch them in a Kimura yourself. So if you struggle with getting caught in a Kimura from top of half guard then check out this video and put a stop to that! -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.
