In this BJJ rolling video from my gym you get to watch me roll with some of my Brown Belts and Purple Belts. In addition to seeing me work for Back Mount you’ll also see me get caught in some bad spots.

My Brown Belt, Joe, starts the rolling off with a guillotine choke. My Brown Belt, Jeff, later on blasts past my Half Guard pull.

As I talk about in my videos on Youtube. It’s a good idea to focus on a particular position, technique or movement for a period of time. During this Brazilian Jiujitsu rolling session I was focused on getting to Back Mount.

This was from one of our Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training session focused towards rolling. I hope that you enjoy the video and the sneak peek from inside of our gym.

Want a few tips on finishing the Triangle Choke in BJJ whether you’re a tall lanky person or a stocky thick legged person? Then this video should be helpful to you!

Recently my good friend, training partner and “little brother” Chad Hardy was in town teaching a seminar at my gym. And while he was here I wanted to do a video with him. And if you know anything about Chad, he’s got a killer triangle choke. And he’s got a ton of tricks on finishing it.

In this video we use our buddy Chris as the uke and Chad and I show different options to help you finish your Triangle Chokes. We show them from the vantage point of being a little shorter with thick legs. I’m not short by any stretch. But I’m also not blessed with long legs. I actually have a fairly long torso.

Then Chad comes in and shows how a tall lanky person in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu could finish the submission and gives a few easy to implement details.

If you’d like to see more of what Chad is up to, head on over to his channel at:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuauqeukQLtUrucpitF4OGQ

While we don’t go over any setups, I think that anyone who gets into the Triangle position but is unable to finish will find some helpful tips in this video. They’re easy adjustments you can immediately throw into the mix.

Hope this video is helpful!

In this video I give you guys a basic idea on how to get your question answered. I’ve looked in the Youtube comments several times and seen people ask, “How do I get my question answered by Chewy?”

And so I wanted to cover the best ways for you to get your question answered by me. Just a quick caveat, I get a lot of questions so I am not able to answer everyone of them. If I don’t I am sorry. I have a gym to run with students and a life outside of the gym. I do my best but I cannot get to all of them.

Here are the 3 best ways to get your question answered.
Social Media
Out of all the social media stuff like facebook, instagram, etc. I use instagram the most.

So you can send me a question via instagram at: http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu

If you do send a question. Make sure you’re following me. I give followers preferential treatment in regards to questions. I figure that’s only fair.

* I do check the Chewjitsu facebook questions once a week. Just not as often as IG.

Email
You can send me an email bit my email question form at: https://www.chewjitsu.net/contact-us/

If I choose your question I’ll reply back with a short answer and then save it for a video.

Youtube
And of course you can always leave it on youtube. Even though the got rid of the direct message function. You can still pop one right down in the comments. I typically scan through all the comments 2-3 times a week and reply to you guys as well as scope out questions.

BIG TIP ON GETTING YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED:
Please don’t send a monster wall of text with no breaks, paragraphs or a clear question at the end.

Having white space in the midst of lots of text is easy on the eyes. Big blocks of text are just hard to read.

And if I don’t have a clear question to answer I don’t feel like I can be of real help to you.

Alright, that covers the basics. 🙂
So keep on sending your questions and I’ll keep on answering them.

The Loop Choke in BJJ is an incredibly versatile and sneaky submission. It can be used as a choke, setup to a sweep and is available from many different positions.

In this video our buddy Doug requested a Loop Choke. I’ll probably do another video on the loop choke in the future. But in this video I’ll show you a basic loop choke setup and how it works.

So this video isn’t really the best on setting it up but it will show you the basic mechanics of how it works so you can use it if you like.

One big key I’d like to emphasis with you if you decide to use it is to make sure to apply pressure on the carotid arteries. Oftentimes when I see people practicing this choke for the 1st time. They have a tendency to apply too much frontal pressure to the wind pipe. This is both dangerous and not as a effective.

So be sure to keep a somewhat looser grip so you can secure the pressure on the carotids and get the proper collar choke positioning we are looking for.

Hope this video helps you.

Getting smashed in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is important! As a White Belt part of your beginning in BJJ is learning just how vulnerable you are. And when you get smashed and submitted by a higher level belt during rolling it makes you aware of the reality of the martial art.

In this video we have a newer BJJ White Belt who says he has submitted a Black Belt. He feels as though the Black Belt is actually using the full extent of their skill and that he is getting a legitimate tap on him.

His questions is whether or not he should lighten up on this Black Belt during training or keep going.

In this video, I share how I think the Black Belt is letting the White Belt work. I’m nice about it. And because I’m not there I don’t really know. But based on my almost 20 years of Brazilian Jiujitsu I have a good hunch what’s going on.

Many times experienced practitioners know the difficult road that lays ahead for the newcomer to Jiujitsu and so they try to ease the person into it slowly. Playing down significantly in their skill and ability.

In this video I describe a story from my gym to put the situation into context so that it can hopefully be helpful to our friend.

Thanks for watching the video.

Have you ever felt physically run down but then end up having one of the best BJJ training sessions you can remember?

Well in this video I share how not feeling your best can be a good thing for your rolling in BJJ. This comes from a questions from our friend who was coming back after an illness and said that he rolled really well by being focused on being defensive since his body was tired from the sickness.

In the video I share a story from when I was a Brown Belt rolling with a Black Belt training partner. And in the story I was in a very similar situation. I wasn’t feeling too well but I was preparing for a competition so I went to the gym to train.

During the Brazilian Jiujitsu training that day I had to focus on being defensive at first because I didn’t have the energy I normally did.

What was a amazing was that by being more relaxed and less aggressive during the roll I performed better. This was a bit of a shock to me but I talk more about it in the video.

Hope you guys enjoy the video. Thanks for watching.
