In this video I reply to a bunch of comments that I’ve received recently and just answer them off the cuff.

In the video I reply to a comment about leavining your ego at the door.

What I thought about the recent Rodolfo Viera fight.

Why high level belts take it easy on White Belts. So If you submit one, they’re probably taking it easy on them.

How I improved my knee health.

And what kind of comments I’ll delete from the channel.

I also mention the info about the Chew Crew youtube membership offered on the channel now for .99 cents.

Hope you enjoy the video.

In today’s video I share a powerful armbar that I’ve been using during BJJ training for the last 6-7 months. The armlock is also super sneaky because it doesn’t use the normal grips of most armbars in Jiu-jitsu. I also show some details on how to hide your grips a bit. Again, the purpose is to use different grips that the person is unfamiliar with so they don’t feel it coming. . . until it’s too late.

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I call this idea “flying under the radar” and use it whenever I can. You can breathe new life into BJJ techniques simply by changing the grips you use to set it up.

This will be the 1st video to start an ongoing armlock series from side control that you follow on the channel. This is one of the areas I’ve been working on personally so I figured I’d share some of the things that have been working for me.

If you’d like to learn more about the series join the wait list here: https://www.chewjitsutraining.com/Arms-Race-Signup

Hope the technique and ideas are useful to you.
Thanks for watching.

Today’s Q&A Chewy Ramble video I answer a question from a Purple Belt named Nick who’s moving into the role as an assistant coach. He says his game is focused on sweeping but he knows he needs to teach other things to his students so they can progress.

So his question to me is about how to teach moves you’re uncomfortable with as a new Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach.

In this video I give some ideas as to how I teach and how I taught as a new BJJ coach. How I show techniques I’m not the best with but how they’re still useful to the students. I also talk about the ideas and usefulness of having a rotating curriculum as well as some general philosophies on being a coach in Jiu-jitsu.

If you’re forced to roll with higher belts in BJJ, will it hinder your progress? This is the question today from a White Belt who’s recently been placed into a higher level Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class.

Here’s what happened. His BJJ coach divided the training groups up due to covid concerns. He had the White Belts go to 1 class time. And then the colored belts (Blue, Purple, Brown, Black) to another. Well our friend was the lone White Belt who got plugged into the higher belt class.

So his question is about whether or not this situation will hinder his Jiu-jitsu training.

In this video I share some perspectives from my own experience in the hopes that they’ll be useful to anyone in a similar situation.

I hope the video is useful to you!
Thanks for watching.

In today’s Q&A video I got a question from a new Blue Belt who asked me what I would do differently when I was a BJJ Blue Belt. He asks because he wants to make the most of his time in Jiu-Jitsu and wanted to get some ideas from me.

So in this video I identify what I believe was my biggest mistake I made after I was promoted from White Belt to Blue. I’ll explain why I think this was my biggest mistake and my basic philosophy of the Blue Belt.

Now, you could use the ideas in the video regardless of belt rank. But I think it’s important for anyone who’s been promoted in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and has a higher level of skill than some of their peers.

Hopefully if you’re in a similar situation the video will be useful to you.

Thanks for watching the video.

Are HIIT workouts good for building cardio for BJJ? That’s the basic question from out friend from Germany (who I will call Karl for the video). Karl is a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and wanting to build his cardio and is wanting to know if HIIT workouts are useful for doing this.

In this video I give my answer to this question based on my experience. But I will add a caveat to everything I say in the video. What I tell you in the video is my experience and opinion. Use it and put it together with your own experience. Because we are all different.

Getting back to the video. I share why I’m not the biggest fan of HIIT workouts during my normal flow of training and the only time I’ll actually add them in.

Oh and at the end I take you for a quick tour of the weight training area in my gym.

Hope the video is useful for you and your rolling.

Thanks for watching.
