If there was a BJJ tournament in your area that had no winners, no losers, and no medals. . . would you participate in it? Do you think it would even be worth doing? Would you go through all the hard training to prepare for it?

This is the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu question that was thrown to me recently on Instagram.

Our friend who lives in a particular part of Canada where prize fighting was banned. And it just so happens that Brazilian Jiujitsu competitions were classified as prize fighting.

After the law was passed a BJJ tournament was held. And during this BJJ competition. No medals were given, no hands raised and no podium was stepped on to determine a winner.

The questions asked from our friend were. . .

Are medals a big deal? And should be people feel grateful for having a some sort of tournament in their area?

Now I don’t know all of the details of this situation. But I interpreted this as there were no winners and losers.

And I answer the question accordingly.

I hope that maybe you find the video at the very least, entertaining and possibly give you an idea as to why many people compete.

Thanks for watching.

The open guard is an essential position in BJJ, but it can also be very confusing for beginners. In this video I show you the two most common errors people make when they start incorporating this position into their game.

Here’s a checklist of the most common forms of open guard: https://www.grapplearts.com/a-glossary-of-guards-part-2-the-open-guard/

Do you just turn up to class, participate and then leave? or do you know EXACTLY what you want to achieve before and after class? Do you know where you want to be by the end of the month, year, the decade? To answer these questions, you need to have a strategy. Now, this may change over time but the very fact that you have a strategy will enhance your practice, tune your responses and ensure you get the most out of each and every session. Don’t just turn up. Turn up with a purpose. Turn up with a strategy. Listen to this video as I discuss this very important topic…

“How can I beat someone better than me?” I get this question a lot and you might be wondering the same thing too. The answer is that you have to find at least one area, either technical or physical, where you are better than he is. In the video I give lots of examples of what this might look like on the mats.

Do you ever lack motivation for BJJ training? If so, how do you overcome it? What keeps you motivated.

I recently received a couple of BJJ questions related to motivation for training.

1 from Zach, a BJJ Blue Belt who is having some of the Blue Belt blues and is lacking motivation for training.

The other from Perk Kar on the Chewjitsu Instagram, who said, “lack of motivation how do we overcome it?”

In this video I do my best to share the idea that motivation is not what you need to keep training consistently.

Most people think of motivation as some sort of divine spark that is supposed to hit you and propel you forward to do the thing that you know you need to do or that you want to do.

I personally hate that spark and find a different type motivation far more useful for long term consistency.

In this Chewy ramble video I share the idea of creating your own motivation for BJJ training. You can become a powerhouse of motivation.

But it’s not something that magically comes to you. Instead you create it by taking action and moving forward towards whatever it is you want.

If you’re talking about Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

Make a ritual and schedule. And stick to that damn thing. If there is a secret to getting better and staying motivated. It’s keeping your disciplined habits and schedules together.

Having the structure to fuel your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is far more helpful than any spark for training motivation. Because you wield it. . . it’s yours.

And instead of being so dead set on some long term goal. Your goal should be your rituals and schedule. Keep them alive and enjoy the little victories and the big ones will come.

Hope this video helps you get into the gym and train your face off!

If you’re a bigger person in BJJ. 1. How can you make your flexibility better for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. 2. How do you roll with smaller people when you’re self c

Being a big person in BJJ isn’t a bad thing.

As long as you’re being safe on the mat. You’re actually providing an awesome service for your training partners.

You help your training partners get used to the pressure associated with bigger training partners, opponents or attackers.

In this video I talk about why having a bigger training is actually very useful and is actually a good thing for your BJJ training.

This video came about because of a question I received from a BJJ White Belt who is a bigger guy and is struggling with figuring out what he should be doing for his BJJ training with his lighter training partners.

So if you’re a bigger man or woman in your BJJ gym. I hope this video is helpful.
