#UFC #ufcvegas84

Today’s video question comes from a younger viewer named Cam who asks a question I’ve received a ton, which is. . .

How do you make a living doing BJJ??? Just Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and no other job.

Now, I could answer this question with the normal “get a gym”, “sell products”, etc. And maybe I’ll do a video on income streams another time. But for today I think it’s far more important to share about the foundation someone needs to have if they want to do Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for a living.

What do I mean? Well, watch the video and I’ll lay it out for you.

Because before you can talk about making a living you need to have a clear idea as to what “living” you’d like to make. I know people who make 6 figures but are broke and I know guys who make very modest incomes and do well for themselves.

Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

In this clip from the “Chewjitsu Podcast #293 – Why Instructionals Can Beat Live Instruction In Class,” I share some ideas on how to choose to choose a BJJ instructional. I also share 2 important questions to ask yourself before buying a BJJ instructional.

Asking these 2 questions is 1 strategy that will help you decide the best instructional for you and your training, especially if you don’t have the ability to run classes or drill a ton.

Also, if you liked the clip, check out the full podcast using the link below.

Today’s video is going to be a special BJJ promotion day video.

You’ll see some general rolling, some specific belt rolls, and then promotions.

Because our gym is pretty big, many of our students don’t ever see each other besides this belt promotion event, so it makes it a pretty special day for a few reasons.

When I promote my student in Jiu-Jitsu, the promotion is already decided before the day of.

Therefore, I try to let my students know they don’t need to kill each other during the rolls, but obviously it’s important to watch them roll/train with other students at their current rank.

The other coaches and I also give out stripes in the video, but this is more based on time than anything. Whereas the belts themselves have a few different qualifications.

Lastly, there was one Black Belt promotion in the video from a close friend, who is genuinely a great person. His name is Tony (Aka Uncle Tony).

He’s a big help around the gym, a great Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, and an all-around sweet guy.

Once again, congrats Tony and everyone else for their promotions.

Hopefully you guys enjoyed the video!

Some people don’t exactly have the longest legs, with that being said, in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the Triangle Choke is known as a technique for “lengthy” grapplers exclusively.

This isn’t true.

In this video I’ll go over finishing the Triangle as someone who’s not lengthy, both for traditional Triangle chokes and the Mounted Triangle.

The big focus will be on getting an angle to secure a tighter choke, plus a couple extra small details that can make or break your finishing ability.

I’ll also talk about some of the common issues us short legged grapplers have with finishing the triangle and how to optimize this technique for our own Jiu-Jitsu Game.

Hopefully these details help you finish more triangles in Jiu-Jitsu (or even MMA), both from bottom and mount.

#UFC #UFC297

Today’s we’ve got a question from a follower who we’ll call “Bob”.

Bob say’s that it’s a bit embarrassing but sends it anyways.

Bob has been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for several years now, but they feel so much anxiety and nervousness when it comes to rolling with better people, or bigger/stronger people, even though they’re 230lbs themselves.

They say a lot of times when they go against these type of people, they build them up to be much more than they actually are, even if Bob is bigger than this person.

They say during rolls that they’re “fight or flight” kicks in and they tend to only roll with the smaller people because they “hate feeling powerless, hate being submitted, and hate being scared of rolling with the bigger/better/stronger guys.”

He sends me the message asking, “any idea on how I can be less scared rolling with these bigger/stronger guys?”

I actually choose to answer this, versus many other questions I received, because I have personally dealt with this.

We’ve all got some mental baggage.

Mine is anxiety and I have had to find strategies to deal with it. This means anxiety with Jiu-Jitsu is something I had to deal with a lot too. This was true for practice and competitions.

In this video I’ll give you guys a few things I did to keep the anxiety out of “the driver’s seat” that really have helped and continue to help me a long my BJJ career.

Hopefully this helped you out Bob, and hopefully this helps anyone else out there that feels like they’re dealing with something similar.

Today we’ve got a question from a bigger White Belt named Lee.

He’s been training for about a year and is finally climbing up the “pecking order”, especially for the less experienced guys in the room.

At this point he is finally getting the better of the newer white belts, but he has a question about rolling with them.

He wonders if he should allow them to work a little bit, which is what he says he does now, or if he should I just roll like “normal” and go after them.

He doesn’t want to seem overconfident or arrogant though, and so he’s not sure if “letting them work” is a good look.

Lee is also wondering what my philosophy is when I roll with less experienced grapplers or brand-new white belts.

In this video I’ll answer Lee’s initial question & share with you guys how I go about training with less experienced people in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and how I get the most out of the roll: both helping that person grown & making myself better at the same time.

Hopefully this video answers your question Lee, and if any of you had a similar question then I hope you found it helpful too!

Today’s video comes from a Blue Belt who has recently had a weird situation at him BJJ gym.

Recently a brand new White Belt started training. And it just so happens that this white belt has history with Jason. . . not good history either! Apparently, the guy bullied Jason around and ended up stealing money from him.

Now, Jason said he tried to leave those feelings outside of the gym since Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is something he does to get away from the craziness of the outside world. Well, the white belt started talking negatively about Jason. Not in the fun we’re-friends-trash-talking, but in a bullying way.

So he sends in a message to see if I could give him a useful perspective that could help with the situation.

Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching!

Today we’ve got a question from “Magic Moses” who sends in a question, which is:

“Chewy should you have to pay for a belt promotion? My gym charges $150 per promotion, and I think that’s ridiculous. In that case, I don’t want to be promoted.”

In the video I will share my philosophy and my idea on how belt promotion should work, but of course this is my way of doing things and not necessarily the right or wrong way.

I also explain why I think there may be some justifiable reasons that students are charged for it, and other reasons why I think students in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are just hosed for it.

I’ve seen BJJ belt promotions range widely in prices, from coaches charging $50 for a stripe & up to $500 for a brown/black belt (which is just ridiculous).

Now, the way I look at the philosophy of owning a gym business, is that I’m trying to offer my students something, and trying to balance that with what I am asking for in return.

So, if I’m throwing some big event for a belt promotion, or offering X amount of service for less pay, than it’s valued for, then it starts making sense to charge.

I’ll also talk a bit more about the business side of owning a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym, and how underpricing in general can actually kill your business.

There’s a lot of nuances to the whole paid promotion thing, so in this video I’ll try to break it down as precisely as possible for you guys.

Hopefully you found the ideas in this video helpful.
