What’s up guys,

Today’s video is going to be about the upcoming Chewjitsu Opens & Seminars.

Recently we had our first tournament, with 300+ competitors, here in my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

Unlike most Jiu-Jitsu competitions, the Chewjitsu Open is a round robin formatted tournament with Madison Bracketing (Explained more in the video).

What I wanted to do with this Jiu-Jitsu competition was to make it very competitor friendly. The focus is to help up and coming competitors (or even experienced competitors) get more experience.

If you want to compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, especially at any higher level, the more experience you force yourself to get, the better.

In wrestling we were able to compete weekly and that’s the reason Wrestlers tend to do super well in most Jiu-Jitsu competitions.

The worst part of trying to get comp reps in Jiu-Jitsu, is that losing means you’re done.

There is no back-side or consolation bracket like there is in Wrestling. You could spend $1000 in fees with travel, hotel, registration, etc., go 0-1 and leave with nothing but a sour taste in your mouth.

That’s why we started these tournaments.

If you’re interested in signing up for one these tournaments you can check out the link below. You’ll also see the schedule and locations for each Tournament & Seminar:

Thanks for watching!

In today’s video I talk about getting ready for a BJJ competition. In particular getting ready for a Jiu-jitsu competition with a different ruleset. The question comes from Phillip who is getting ready for a competition with a rule set he’s not used to. He’s wondering should he roll under the same rules as the competition leading up to the tournament or should he just roll like normal and make adjustments on the day of the matches?

I’ll explain how I do it and how I prepare for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition regardless of the rules.

And if you’re getting ready for a BJJ match, tournament or competition then I hope it’s useful.

When I first introduced the CRYangle Choke some people were skeptical. They called it the “unicorn” and said you’ll never see it in competition. But alas the “unicorn” has now successfully been hit at Black belt in the Worlds, Pan Ams, Euros and Fight 2 Win Pro…

In this instructional CRYANGLE Essentials (from the a Headhunter instructional series) I share all the details on this amazing Choke. It’s truly the ultimate trap as it’s the only submission that gives you direct access to ALL the joints: neck / arm / leg all in one nasty submission. The CRYangle doesn’t require you to have crazy Flexibility … but rather it works even better on those annoyingly flexible partners! Now you can make them suffer 😉.

CRYangle Essentials is ONLY available at our new On Demand site http://www.vimeo.com/Flowjitsu Get after it ninjas!

Recently I competed at the IBJJF 2019 Summer Chicago Open tournament. During this BJJ competition I was able to hit several of the techniques I teach through my Youtube videos and in my gym.

During the highlight video you’ll see a mixture of guard passing, top pressure and takedowns where I was able to win triple gold at the BJJ tournament. The medals were 1 gold in my weight class (gi) then gold in my weight class (no gi) and I won the open class (no gi).

These matches took place in the Masters 1 division.

If you’re not familiar with what Masters divisions are in Brazilian Jiujitsu. They’re divisions for us “old” guys. Haha.

Truth be told I still compete against younger guys in various tournaments but I prefer the shorter match times of 6 minutes. This match duration allows me to play aggressively without worrying about running out of steam.

Enjoy the video and I just want to say thanks again to all of you who showed your support during the competition.

Oh and it was great meeting many of you who were there!

Thanks for watching!

Chewy and I briefly discuss when to train through injuries and when to train around injuries and how training around your injuries forced us to work on other aspects of our jiu-jitsu.

Chewy also discusses how he adjusts his training when getting close to a tournament and provides some tips for tournament prep.

If you’re getting ready for your very 1st BJJ competition I think this video might be useful for you. In the video I share 3 helpful tips you should keep in mind when preparing for your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament or match.

The question comes from our friend Niki who is a powerlifter and is considering doing her 1st BJJ comp.

She was curious if there is anything she needs to know when preparing for the tournament.

In the video I shared 3 ideas that I think would be useful for anyone in Jiujitsu getting ready for a competition.

1. Set your sights on a upcoming competition as early as possible. Know the competition you plan to do and prepare for it. Doing this will give you ample time to get familiar with points, rules, etc.

Because it’s important to remember that BJJ competitions are a game. And during that game it’s wise to remember that it’s not always the person who’s best at BJJ wins. It’s the person who’s best at playing the competition game.

2. Know what you’re going to do at the start of the match. Whether it’s a takedown or a guard pull you need to know what you plan to do when the match starts.

3. Know your weight class and types of weigh ins. I’ve almost gotten into trouble with this over the years where I didn’t pay attention to weight classes.

If you have a competition coming up I hope this is helpful to you!

Here’s footage of me competing in a Judo tournament as a BJJ blue belt against a 300 lb opponent back in 2000 when morote gari (the double leg takedown and touching the legs) was still legal. He denied tapping to the armbar (the result of a juji gatame roll) but I think it was pretty clear that he was caught, and fortunately the referee agreed.
