Recently I did a video where I talked about the curse of the lazy guard player, basically when someone only plays guard and they’re one dimensional.

I got a message from a Big Fella who says he has the opposite issue.

He says he’s a 6ft 2, 255lbs, heavyweight, with a good top game, emphasizing side control. The issue is he sucks on his back.

He wonders what the best types of guards are for bigger, less athletic heavyweights.

In this video I’ll give him 3 suggestions for guards I would recommend for my bigger, less flexible, students in BJJ.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Recently I was talking to one of my White Belts, I was helping him out with a detail from Mount, and I was showing him a technique we’ve been doing at the gym since 2012-13 when we were prepping for comp.

It was a cheat code when our athletes got to Mount in Jiu-Jitsu competitions.

This technique will help you set up a bunch of submissions, backtakes, and more.

Hopefully, you found this information helpful.

Today I’ll answer a question from YouTube about passing guard in Jiu-Jitsu.

They want to know how to pass all the basic guards: butterfly half, butterfly, closed, etc.

Well, obviously I’m in a chair, but I think there’s more benefit to a discussion than just breaking down my favorite pass from each position.

I have several videos on the channel that address specific techniques.

When I read that question It made me think of my own general philosophy of guard passing, which you might or might not find helpful.

That’s what I’ll discuss in this video and more. Hopefully, if you’re struggling to pass the guard in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, then you found these ideas helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Today I will show you a part of my technique session from one of my Jiu-Jitsu Gi classes at my gym, Derby City MMA.

I reviewed with the students how I like to apply pressure and attack the arm in reverse side control.

We review a few different attack options that work well in Gi Jiu-Jitsu, No Gi Jiu-Jitsu, and even MMA.

This set of attacks are some of my best and I hope you found this useful.

Thanks for watching.

Today we’ve got a question from a BJJ Blue Belt, named Tye, who recently pissed off his Brown Belt training partner.

He’s a young guy & the Brown Belt was someone who essentially took him under his wing. Well, the other day they were rolling, and Tye caught the Brown belt in the Guillotine.

The Brown Belt does not tap, Tye makes multiple adjustments, and at some point, 4 or so minutes in, after the Brown Belt escaped, he bashed the Blue Belt for the rest of the round.

After they got done rolling the Brown Belt was obviously pissed.

Tye sends the message asking what he should have done in this situation.

In this video, I’ll give you a specific tip to prevent this from happening again. I’ll also discuss the higher belts perspective and what he could have done.

Hopefully, you found the answer useful Tye, and for anyone else out there who has had this situation happen to them, I hope this helps you too.

Thanks for watching.

Recently at the Chewjitsu open, while watching the White Belts/Beginners compete, I noticed a common theme amongst them all…

That theme was this: They could not get to mount properly, without being countered.

In this video, I’ll address 2 big Mount mistakes White Belts make in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and how to avoid them.

Hopefully, if you train BJJ/MMA, and have trouble with the Mount, you found this helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Join us for the Chewjitsu Open:

Chewjitsu

It’s been a little over a year since we started the Chewjitsu Opens. If you don’t know, this is a Gi & No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu competition ran by me and a few others all over the Mid-West & East Coast.

It’s exceeded my expectations.

That said, whenever I try something new, I think of it like BJJ technique. You have an idea of how it will work, but in reality, there’s always something that needs an adjustment.

In this video, I’ll talk about the one thing that really needed to be changed, what was good, and more.

Hopefully, I will see more of you guys on the Chewjitsu open mats soon!

Thanks for watching!

Today we’ve got a question from Mat who asked:

“Chewy do you want to see BJJ become an Olympic sport?”

I’ve been asked this question often over the years since I started doing these videos with you guys. And my answer has always been a big bearded…

Well, you’ll know when you see the video.

There are many reasons I don’t want Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Olympics, like other martial arts, including Judo, Karate, and others.

I’ll dive into those reasons, including the big one: Rule Changes/Rulesets, stifling of creativity and more in this video.

Thanks for watching.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

Today I wanted to discuss a situation everyone, well most people, in Jiu-Jitsu have experienced.

If you have NOT experienced it yet, you definitely will!

This situation occurs from the “let’s go light” guy.

This person will occasionally lurk in your gym, open mats, or whatever, and they will deceive you.

Essentially, this person will ask you to roll with some stipulations. They’ll either say they just competed, they’re hurt, just got back from a vacation, etc. And this means they want a light roll.

BUT…

When the roll starts, they’re anything BUT light. You assume the training will be a flow, technical exchange, and anything but a hard round, but it turns into a mat war.

I’ll talk about this common bamboozlement, and how I deal with them. I’ll also share some of your experiences as viewers that sent them in.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful. IF you have also had a “let’s go light roll”, please comment down below and let me know your experience.

Thanks for watching.

Today we’ve got a question from Raq, who has a situation where he’s got a new job, his first “big boy job”, and his parents & intuition are telling him that he can NOT turn this job down.

The issue is that he loves Jiu-Jitsu, it’s changed his life, and he loves what Jiu-Jitsu has done for him, transforming him from a young, out-of-shape kid to a tougher, more confident man.

He wants to continue training, but because of the new work schedule, he has no chance to train BJJ.

He asks for suggestions for training like private lessons, but he’s open to any ideas.

I had a very similar situation one time in my life, so I’ll try to explain to you guys how I dealt with that, and more.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching.

Today we’ve got a question from Shawn, who was recently offered a coaching position at his gym.

The problem is this…

He’s apprehensive about accepting the job because he fears that this coaching situation will rob him of his passion for Jiu-Jitsu.

He essentially doesn’t want BJJ to be his “job”.

He was offered to coach 1 day a week and asked how I do BJJ, but don’t turn it into work or don’t let it burn me out.

This question comes up a ton, I’ve been teaching BJJ full time since 2010, I love it, enjoy doing it, and it wasn’t easy.

I’ll share 1 of my biggest reasons for choosing this occupation and what keeps me around.

I’ll also dive deeper into this idea of internal and external rewards that come from this line of work and hopefully, if you’re a BJJ coach in the making, then you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

Today we’ve got a question from Corey, who is being labeled as a “Sandbagger” in his gym.

He says he’s been training Jiu-Jitsu, on again/off again, for 2 years, and so far, he’s just a 2-stripe white belt.

Recently, lots of his training partners and coaches are telling him he’s ready for Blue Belt. At the same time, his head coach has not talked about this at all.

On top of that, at the recent belt promotions he did NOT get a Blue Belt, in fact, he didn’t even get another stripe on his White Belt.

So, he’s at a loss, because he doesn’t want people to have hard feelings towards him, because being labeled a sandbagger in BJJ is not the best thing to be called.

However, he doesn’t know how to approach his coach about the subject, because he personally does not care much about his belt color or rank.

He asked what I think about the issue & what advice I could give on the subject.

Thanks for watching.
