Is BJJ Harder Than Navy Seal Training? Chewjitsu 2023-10-02 | Recently I got an email from a guy who says that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training has a higher dropout rate than buds, aka the first phase of Navy Seal training.He says the reason is because of the poor technical training that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gyms often provide.I thought this comment was pretty interesting and thought we could chew on these ideas for BJJ together.In this video I talk about the times when I first started training BJJ, during its mainstream boost, and the times before then too and how different the training structure was compared to now, and how much higher the attrition rate was back then compared to how it is now.I also answer a few common questions: is Jiu-Jitsu for everyone? Why do some people stick around while others don't? and what other things should we consider before comparing the training of BUDS and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.Hopefully you find the ideas in this video useful for you.- Chewy-----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

A Powerful Takedown for Gi BJJ & Basics on How to Grip Fight Chewjitsu 2023-09-25 | Today's question comes from Jack, a former high school Wrestler, who recently got into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.He's getting into BJJ but feels like he's having a lot of issues with the grips in the Gi. He was wondering if I had any particular Gi specific grip set ups for Wrestling Based takedowns. This is a pretty common issue for former Wrestlers who transition into Gi Jiu-Jitsu, so it's a great question to answer.In this video I show you my favorite "Wrestling Style" takedown and set up that I use in the Gi.

White Belt Feels Like a Fat Marshmallow Man in his New Gi Chewjitsu 2023-09-18 | Today's question comes from a brand new BJJ White Belt named Chris who says he's powerlifting big and can't fit into the BJJ gi that was given to him when he started at his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym. Powerlifting big meaning he's muscular but has some fluff and a belly to go with it. Later on he was looking online and couldn't find a gi size that matched up with his build. So he's curious about what to do since normal gi sizes don't fit him.In the video I'll give Chris some ideas on what to do if you need non-traditional sizes for a BJJ gi.

BJJ White Belt DESTROYS Coaches Knee (Doesnt Know What to Do...)

Escape This Brutally Effective BJJ Position with This Simple Technique Chewjitsu 2023-09-13 | In today's BJJ technique video I answer a question from Conrad who is getting in stuck in the gift wrap position. If you're not familiar, the gift wrap position is tough to deal with, and if you don't know how to deal with it, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is going to be rough for you. The position usually happens after someone gives up an angle from the mount position and opens up tons of options for them. So in the video I'll show a simple way to escape the position by palming your face. Now the escape isn't easy and you will be exposed to multiple submissions, but the escape will give you a fighting chance. Hope the escape helps! -Chewy -----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

Shut Down Tough Knee Shields in BJJ with the “Face Palm” Chewjitsu 2023-09-04 | So, I got a question today from Antonio, who was watching one of my rolling videos recently, and he noticed something I was doing with my head and my hand when I was passing someone's half guard with a knee shield. He sent in a question asking for more details on it.To watch that rolling video, use the link below:youtu.be/rIvPFh3eWJo?si=ZKdvtnHjAPtjmUvQ&t=150 This technique is something I started playing with as a BJJ White Belt to setup keylocks as I'll show you. It's very similar to the iron squirrel that you guys have seen in past videos if you've watched for a while. From there I use this same palm-to-face idea to blocks someone's arm and work in past their knee shield and apply lots of pressure on them as well. In this video, I'll show you exactly what he's talking about, on top of a cool trick to set up a few other submission attacks like the Key Lock or other Arm attacks in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.- Chewy-----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

He's even placed at Blue Belt tournaments in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.His worry is that he has received no stripes on his white belt, even though he's seen all the success listed above.He wonders what I think and how he should talk to his BJJ coach about the subject of stripe and/or belt promotions.

A Quick Way to Piss Off Higher Belts in BJJ during Rolling Chewjitsu 2023-08-30 | Today's Q&A comes from Logan who wants to know how to roll hard with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Black Belts without being disrespectful. He says that when he rolls he gets a catch on a submission or sweep but then feels hamstrung to finish it because he doesn't want to go too hard to finish it.This is a good question! I used to deal with this same thing years ago where I wanted to go hard with my BJJ coaches but didn't want to disrespect them. And as a BJJ Black Belt who's got a modicum of celebrity in the Jiu-jitsu space I can tell you that there are cases where we can train super hard and it's a great rolling session. On the flip side, I've trained with people where I feel irritated and don't want to roll with a person again. I'll explain the difference between the 2 in the video and I hope this helps you if you're in a similar situation.

Effective Double Leg Takedown for BJJ Beginners (No Knee Drop!) Chewjitsu 2023-08-28 | In today's video I show a simple takedown for BJJ I've used several times in Jiu-jitsu competitions and plenty of times during rolls in the gym. The takedown is also relatively safe as it doesn't require you to drop to your knee. I know this is something that worries many Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners who aren't used to the movement or worry it will cause them to get sprawled on and smashed. It uses a front headlock to setup a basic high double leg takedown.I also included a short clip from 1 of my BJJ matches so that you can see the technique and what it looks like during a competition match.

How to Make Your Grips Last Longer & Think More During BJJ Rolling Chewjitsu 2023-08-24 | Today's video is a short Q&A video from Origin's BJJ Immersion Camp in Maine. During the sessions this week I got a chance to speak with hundreds of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners who watch the videos, listen to the podcasts and so on. If you're one of them, it was cool meeting you! A couple of blue belts came up to me asking questions about their grips burning out and getting tunnel vision during their rolling. After listening to their situation, I gave them some simple advice. Something that helped me with my BJJ. Now the advice is very simple and can be applied by anyone from white belt to black belt. But it doesn't make it easy! Like anything else in BJJ, you have to put things into action with practice. So, if you struggle with your grips burning out during BJJ competitions and rolling, then I hope the video helps. -Chewy -----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

6 BJJ Closed Guard Drills to Build Faster Movement & Submissions Chewjitsu 2023-08-16 | In today's video me and my guys are going over some basic BJJ movements in a drill class from full guard.These include 6 pretty fundamental drills from the guard. These would be great for any White Belt trying to build good movement from the position. But you could also use them at any belt level to get a good Brazilian Jiu-jitsu style workout in. Right now, in the gym we are doing a ton of standing work in the gym. Takedowns, throws, etc. So I wanted to get away from it during the drilling class to move in some other directions. .These drills are a great way to build up your timing from closed guard and they're low impact on the body, but still very effective (in my bearded opinion)Hopefully you find these BJJ drills helpful for your training.- Chewy-----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

It was great!One of the things I like doing during the camps is to have the campers do Ice baths and try some breathing exercises that I personally practice.In today's video I show you guys an exercise I use to practice breathing through your stomach, rather than your chest.The exercise in this video is called 90/90 breathing and is for anyone who can't breathe into their stomach vs. just breathing into their chest. When we are at rest the goal is to breathe very deep into our stomachs so that we can recover properly.Hopefully if you train Jiu-Jitsu, then this video is useful for you.- Chewy-----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

How to Get More Technical Skill from your BJJ Rolling Sessions Chewjitsu 2023-08-04 | Today's BJJ rolling video is from a recent class I taught at the gym. We're going through some fundamental stuff related to takedowns in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and then had open rolling. During the rolls I was looking for some very specific things with my guard passes, my side control defense and my Shotgun Armbar submission. If you'd like to learn more about the shotgun armbar I have a free series here on youtube:youtube.com/watch?v=SuPY_vzFp1o&list=PL5awtUfQsILoIWUyDQzJd_xhDyTJ6vKDvor you can check out the course I have that deep into the whole idea of side control submissions with a main focus of attacking the arms. chewjitsutraining.com/armsrace Having focus during your BJJ rolls is important, so I encourage you to give yourself a technical aim the next time you step on the mats.

This Dangerous Belief Robs You of Being Your Best in BJJ, Business & Life Chewjitsu 2023-08-02 | Today I decided to journal a bit during a training break, and wanted to discuss a conversation I had this weekend at the 1st Annual Chewjitsu Open.So, the interesting conversation that popped up is one that I think could serve many of you guys in the BJJ community (or in life)The idea is focused on my lack of expectations for this weekend's tournament.I got asked from a competitor out of Chicago "How did you NOT expect this thing to be huge? you have all these followers?!"I told him something that may suprise you...I didn't set any expectations. In this video I 'll dive deeper into how this form of thinking started and how it has helped me in BJJ, Business, and Life.

Every BJJ Competitor Learns & Understands this Idea Chewjitsu 2023-07-31 | Recently I got a question from a young guy who said he let his BJJ coach down.He said that this last he's been competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and winning tons of gold medals. He said recently, he was getting ready for a competition, one of the biggest ones in the country and leading up to it his teammates and coaches were very confident in his abilities to have success at the tournament.He goes out to the competition and loses first round, by 2 points, to the person who would eventually go and win the bracket.He sends me a message saying that "I let my coach down, what do I do?"I asked him WHY he believed he let his coach down. His reply was "I did not live up to the expectations everyone had for me."So, I questioned him. Asking him, based upon which actions from them, his coaches and friends, made him feel like he let them down.You might be surprised at his response, and honestly, this is probably how most coaches feel. If you're ever feeling let down about a loss at a Jiu-jitsu competition, then maybe this conversation between myself and the messenger can be useful to you.-Chewy -----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/question

New White Belt is Scared of Rolling with Other a White Belts Chewjitsu 2023-07-26 | Today's question is about spazzy White Belts who are ripping submissions.The question comes from Christian who is newer to BJJ, but his biggest worry is about rolling with other White Belts who finish submission too quickly.He asked, "is this a valid concern? or is this something I need to get used to?"Of course, White Belts are going to be a little spazzy, but this definitely IS a valid concern.In this video I'll explain to you how I'd approach training safely as a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu against other White Belts in BJJ, and how to train safely in general, regardless of belt rank.Hopefully you find these Ideas useful for you.- ChewyP.S t-shirt by epic roll.

This Hidden Superpower will Transform your BJJ, MMA & Your Life Chewjitsu 2023-07-24 | Today's question comes from Marshall, and MMA fighter, who sends me a message saying that his MMA coaches, BJJ coaches, etc., are talking him up and telling him that he has a toughness about him that most people don't have naturally, that he's very skilled, etc.He says that he knows his coaches believe what they're saying. The issue is this... He doesn't see it.He asked me "How do you discover something about yourself that other see, but that you don't necessarily see in yourself?"In this video I go into a few stories about times in my life I felt like an imposter, and no matter what anyone told me I didn't believe I had "IT", just like Marshall.If you're feeling like Marshall, I'll also give you a really simple way to "update" your identity a little faster, so that you can see what your coaches are seeing & so that you can develop a real superpower, SELF TRUST, that is often developed by going through certain tough situations whether that's through training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Wrestling, MMA Fighting, etc.Hopefully you find the ideas in this video useful for you.- Chewy-----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

Daily BJJ Recovery Routine (MUST HAVE for Older Grapplers) Chewjitsu 2023-07-21 | Recently, I got a question from mark, who's 42 years old, and is curious what I do for recovery.I'm 38, a little bit younger than Mark, but right in that range where recovery is even more important as we age.Because of that, today I wanted to show you guys what I do to recover on a semi-daily basis.The stuff that I show you in this video is geared more towards the days where I am rolling BJJ. If I was lifting, then some of the things I do in this video would be a little bit different.Anyways, I jump into a few ideas on recovery like Ice baths, stretching, foam rolling, massage gun usage, supplements, sleep, etc. that I find to be useful for my recovery and longevity as an aging grappler.Hopefully a few of these ideas can be useful for you. - Chewy-----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

Why Old Man BJJ is Bullsh** (Story of a 50-Year-Old Brown Belt) Chewjitsu 2023-07-19 | This morning I was talking to one of my Brown Belts, Tim, and he was telling me that this idea he adopted of "old man" Jiu-jitsu was getting in his way and creating some problems for him in training.In my honest opinion, I believe that this idea of "Old Man" BJJ is a bit BS and even a bit restrictive.This all comes from a recent story of this "older" Brown belt, Tim, rolling with one of our black belts, Mark, who has an insanely difficult guard to pass. Tim felt like his "Old Man" BJJ style was not working against this specific type of guard. But, Eventually Tim breaks the rules and try's some "Young Man" BJJ & a looser style of passing. He stands up and he starts trying to pass side-to-side to get through the guard instead of smash passing low.When Tim does this, he notices that he starts to get reactions out of the younger Black Belt, and although he couldn't finish the pass, he felt like made a ton more progress in the roll.In this video I'll talk about the downside of putting a label on your BJJ as it relates to your age (like Tim did here), your weight, height, etc., and how far too often we rely on these labels to search for SIMPLE solutions to complex problems.-----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

Common Feud in BJJ is THE Age-Old Martial Arts Argument Chewjitsu 2023-07-05 | Today's question comes from a Brown Belt in BJJ, named Aaron, who also comes from a Wrestling background, and apparently has injury plagued hands.With that in mind, he says his favorite way to train BJJ is No-Gi. Recently however, he decided that he wanted to pursue more Gi training, going up to his coach, letting him know about his injuries, and was looking for some grip fighting tips from his coach.After the talk with his coach, Aaron says that his coach threw in a little dig. Saying:"By the way, the Gi is more technical than No-Gi..."Apparently, this led into a whole rant, and may have triggered Aaron a bit, who believes that both No-Gi and Gi are technical, just different.

A Subtle Way of Quitting During Rolling in BJJ Chewjitsu 2023-06-26 | Today's video comes from a guy, who we will call Bob, that has been training for a little over a year and says he really enjoys BJJ, even stating that it's really helped him with some mental issues.Fortunately, or unfortunately, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu also opened him up to aversity that he wasn't used to. For example, he found out that he is a quitter. Whenever things start getting tough in the rolls, he just gives up. By the way, these are his words, not mine.When his coaches initially noticed the issue, they kind of gave him a pep talk. However, over some time they just stopped trying. His question to me is if I have any advice on how to overcome the mental block that he recently discovered when he trains BJJ, and how he can grow his "fighting spirit."So, in this video I'll answer his questions and tell you guys about how I personally had to develop my own "fighting spirit" and grit through BJJ, and even tell exactly what I had to tell myself DAILY to do it.

Black Belt Teaches White Belt a Painful Rolling Lesson Chewjitsu 2023-06-14 | Today we have a question from a 1-Stripe White Belt, who we will call Bob.He is a former Wrestler who got into BJJ, and he was pretty good at it, and the other day he was rolling with a blackbelt in the room.Well, he tells me that he is pretty competitive, and during the roll, at some point, he got a little rough with the black belt.Well, the black belt didn't like that and decided he was going to put it on Bob. The Black Belt wasn't a jerk about it after the roll and even told Bob that this was basically a teachable moment and they moved on.Bob felt really sorry after the roll, not meaning to roll too rough with anyone, including the Black Belt...But, after some thought, Bob got pretty upset about the way the Black Belt handled things, seeing as he wasn't trying to be disrespectful.Bob wants to know if I think he's being unreasonable and how I interpret situations like this in BJJ.- Chewy-----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

Which he is happy about. However, his friend keeps showing up 45 minutes late to the classes he attends.He interprets these late appearances as a form of laziness on his friend's behalf, or maybe he just doesn't want to do warmups. And he believes he does it because he's a Black Belt and feels like he can do it. Regardless, he's not sure what's up.At Bob's gym, attendance is pretty strict, and he wants to know how I'd handle a situation where a someone is chronically late to classes and if I have ever faced a similar situation, and if so, how I dealt with it.In the video I'll explain what I think and give you some ideas on BJJ warmups too. - Chewy----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

The BJJ Position Where White Belts Go to Die Chewjitsu 2023-06-09 | One of the most common messages I get from you guys, specifically the newer grapplers, is about something in the realm of White Belts having trouble with Side Control escapes.Regardless of your prior grappling experience, White Belts of all backgrounds tend to struggle pretty often escaping side control and just feel stuck.The tip that I am going to share with you in this video works for side control, mount, or any defensive position, but can be really useful for side control specifically.This technique/idea made escaping side control way easier for me, and hopefully for you newer white belts watching, or anyone else, it can also be a useful idea that'll help your game too.- Chewy-----------------Free Ebook: chewjitsutraining.com/focusedWant to ask Chewy a question: chewjitsutraining.com/questionVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

I Got My Delusional Co-Worker to Try BJJ. . . Big Mistake! Chewjitsu 2023-06-07 | Recently a subscriber of the channel, we will call him Bob, who has been training for over a year, messaged me to tell me about a crummy experience he had with a co-worker who he invited to the gym to start training BJJ. Well, a few classes in, Bob's coworker & Bob finally rolled. In the Roll Bob takes it easy, even allowing his friend to submit him when they rolled. The issue began after the roll when Bob's co-worker says "Hah, you couldn't even get me." This being said after their light roll (where Bob was just playing). Well to make it worse, a few days later at their place of work, the co-worker also boasted about the roll against Bob & the Head Instructor; embarrassing Bob and leaving him frustrated about what to do next. This obviously rubbed Bob the wrong way and he is wondering if he should: confront his co-worker directly about the issue, have a talk with the coach, let it go, or if I had any other ways to resolve the problem in mind...-----------------Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focused-jiu-jitsu-13-page-ebookVideo Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/productsT shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shophttp://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsuhttp://www.twitter.com/ChewjitsuIntro/Outtro Music : bknapp.bandcamp.comIf you’d ever like to train with the team and I.
