Here is a short highlight video from the recent IBJJF Nashville Open where I won my Super Heavy Division and the Open Weight at Master 1 Black Belt. During these BJJ matches you’ll see me battling mostly with guard passing. I did have one takedown battle but the rest were fights in the passing positions.

If you watch my videos or have purchased my grip fighting series you’ll notice a lot of the stuff I teach and preach being used in the competition.

During the tournament I was only able to snag 1 submission. The rest of the competitors stopped my attempts so I won on points.

Each one of my opponents was tough in his own way and I’m happy I was able to come out on top and snag the wins for myself, my Derby City MMA team and the Team Shawn Hammonds Association.

I want to end this message with this. Much respect to all of the other Black Belts I competed against as they’re gym owners or instructors at gyms. It takes a lot of guts to get out and compete when you have eyes on you like that. So I have mad respect for all of them.

Hope you guys enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.
-Chewy

In today’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu technique video I show one of my favorite Butterfly Guard passes. It’s a simple guard pass that requires a bit of positioning and timing to hit properly. This video request came from my fellow bearded BJJ buddy Johnny Buck. You can watch some of our BJJ rolling videos on the channel. He sent it a question calling it a fake move and trolling me just a bit. That’s what friend’s do right?

The key to setting up this particular Butterfly Guard pass is to make sure to put your head in good position so that it forces your opponent slightly back onto their butt and causes them to be easily moved.

From their it’s a simple grip on the shoulder and knee. Again, it’s a super simple move. But if you drill it and build up the timing it becomes super effective. Even if the pass itself fails it will still cause the person to scramble for a Half Guard or possibly a Full Guard.

So if you’re looking for a Butterfly Guard pass. I hope the “Superman Pass” works for you with your BJJ training or competitions.

In today’s video you’ll see a mixture of rolling with one of my Big BJJ White Belt Don and some of my Purple and Brown Belts. Don is a funny guy and somehow we jokingly decided that I was going to wrist lock him and that’s why I was chasing after it so aggressively. It’s not that I like to pick on my White Belts. Well maybe sometimes. . . I’m kidding.

Also of note is that during this BJJ training session we were purposely starting in bad positions. So each round would begin in either Back Mount, Mount or Side Control. This session was leading up to a competition and so I like to put us in bad positions so that we can get comfortable fighting out of them.

Hopefully you enjoy the video. We’re still playing around with editing so feel free to throw your opinions down in the comments below.

Also if you have a question about a technique please leave them in the comments below.

Thanks for watching!

The culture in BJJ has a lot of people who use marijuana/cannabis/weed regularly as something that helps open up their creativity during training or relax them at night. In today’s video I got a question from our friend who has friends who say that smoking marijuana before training opens up their game and always them to be more creative. And he’s curious what my experiences with it and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu are.

I preface this whole video with the fact that I don’t smoke regularly. I’ve done it a few times and don’t dislike or like it a ton. I’m just neutral with it. And if you’re an adult, you can do whatever you want to do, and you should have the right to. That’s why this is an opinion and not some hard stance.

But in the video I do share some possible apprehensions I would have if you decide to smoke for creativity purposes. I have these same apprehensions towards alcohol, caffeine and other psychoactive drugs that we consume on a regular basis.

I know that many people have strong feelings for or against weed. That’s fine, I don’t. Just sharing my opinion on the idea as asked by a viewer.

Thanks for watching!

Triangle Chokes are one of the most effective submissions from the bottom positions and can be a huge problem for any top player or guard passer. In today’s video we have a question regarding just that situation. Our friend Nick who is a wrestler type who is coming into BJJ is getting caught in triangle chokes left and right and he’s wondering if I have any tips on dealing with the situation.

In this video I share tips on both a triangle choke defense and how to defend it. I used to struggle with the same problem as a wrestler who would get caught in triangle chokes while passing guard. I also show how I corrected the issue.

I also share how I like to look at the triangle as a position which has multiple stages. I consider 3 stages of triangles to be a starting point which I explain in the video.

From there I talk about some tips to escape the triangle in stage 1, or a loosely locked triangle. I’ll work on escapes for the future if in a deeper position.

Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
