In today’s BJJ Q&A question from Amy she says that feels like she learns more from my instructional videos than she does from her actual BJJ coaches. She has a 2nd part of her question which is about how to talk to her coach about questions she has. So in this video I cover both topics.

First I talk about how instructional videos are great and you can learn a lot from them (and why this is true) but I also talk about why a coach is necessary and how her Brazilian Jiujitsu coach made it possible to learn from the vidoes.

In the 2nd part of the question I talk about the role of coaches as problem solvers and some good ways to approach a BJJ coach with the right kind of questions to ask.

If you’re in a similar situation I hope this video helps!

Why don’t we see more BJJ world champions coming over to fight in MMA? This is today’s question for a Chewy ramble. Now this isn’t a specific technique question but it’s interesting and I figured I’d share my opinion.

Now keep in mind there are plenty of high level Brazilian Jiu-jitsu fighters making their way into Mixed Martial Arts. But for reasons I share in the video, I think you may (I say may because I don’t have hard data) have fewer getting into MMA these days. It’s probably the same reason why fewer boxers and kickboxers get into MMA.

Primarily I think people have other options for using their skills to make a living.

Back in the day BJJ was a much smaller sport with little money in it. So if you spent 10+ years developing this fighting skill you pretty much had to fight in order to make a living. These days you can make a decent living doing BJJ if you have the right skills.

I know from my experiences the reasons I share in the video were true to me.

Hopefully you found the video interesting. Thanks for watching. I’ll talk to you next time.

In today’s video I got a question from a young White Belt about whether or not he should up and leave their gym, move away from their hometown to train Jiu-jitsu with John Danaher or Andre Galvao or a similar big name team in order to be an elite level BJJ competitor.

To help out, I share a story from a recent Chewjitsu podcast episode we did with multiple time World Champion (and elite level BJJ competitor) Bernardo Faria where he talked about his start in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Early on he was training in a small town without any famous Black Belts and then eventually won the Purple Belt World Championships. Following that he moved to Alliance and began training with a big name gym.

But it was during the time at the smaller gym that he really developed that love and passion for Brazilian Jiujitsu and training. So in today’s video I share that idea with our young friend.

To develop the passion for BJJ training 1st and consider maybe moving later on should he decide it’s right. But as I talk about in the video. I’d advise against it early on because the look of success can be deceptive. Many people think they want it, but don’t realize what really entails.

Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.

In this video I give some tips on becoming more comfortable in the bottom of a tight mount position in BJJ. This video is a response to someone who sent in a question asking for techniques to escape mount. But I don’t cover techniques because he said he tends to panic and become uncomfortable with the position. In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I believe it’s very difficult to survive and escape any of the dominant position if you aren’t able to get some level of comfort.

Now I’m saying you’re going to like being in the position or anything like that, but you do have to be able to relax enough to think and setup a proper defense in bad spots. This is true for any position in Brazilian Jiujitsu but I think it’s especially important in positions where you’re at a disadvantage and the smallest mistake could lead to getting submitted.

So if you’re having trouble panicking in the bottom of mount then I hope this idea of learning to get comfortable with the uncomfortable is useful to you.

Thanks for watching!

Today’s BJJ question is about using the triangle choke as a bigger person. Comes from our friend who says he’s a big guy and needs help finishing the triangle choke during rolling. So in this video I share some useful ideas on finishing the submission in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

The 1st one is that you DON’T have to have a full deep lock behind the knee with the triangle position. In fact, if you use your hamstring to finish the submission like I show in the video you’ll be able to finish it with a more shallow lock.

After that I show some ideas on setting up angles to finish and using the triangle choke not just as a submission but as a position that launch other attacks.

Hope the video is useful to you if you’re a bigger person trying to finish this submission.

In this podcast clip, BJJ World Champion Dominyka Obelenyte discusses struggling in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu early on. She talks about how she hated BJJ at one point because of the pressure to perform and eventually found a way to get into a more relaxed state of mind which allowed her to find her own game and eventually become a young BJJ Black Belt World Champion.
