In today’s technique video I’ll teach you 3 brutal chokes from the front headlock position in BJJ. I say brutal because they’re tough chokes. For instance, a rear naked choke in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a pretty smooth choke when done with good depth, all things considered.

But in the case of a Darce, Anaconda and the Arm-in Guillotine. . . there’s are a lot of “suck” to them. The Darce in particular hurts even when it’s done perfectly.

What’s cool about this video is the tecnique is shown as a sequence where if 1 fails you just move to another. This is a quality you’d like to have for pretty much any position you try to get especially skilled with in BJJ. So hopefully the video will give you some useful ideas on how to make this happen.

Anyways, hope the technique video gives you some useful ideas for your training.

Happy submission hunting my friends.

In BJJ there is often this idea that all you have to do to improve is this 1 thing. Many Black Belt coaches will say it’s the #1 thing you have to do to improve in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Heck, I’ve probably said it before. Nowadays though, I think it’s wrong, and if not wrong at least incomplete.

I explain why this common rule for Jiu-jitsu progress is ok but not what I would consider the #1 rule if you want to be good. And I think most of us in BJJ don’t get into it to be just “ok”. We want to be the best possible grapplers we can be. We may not be the next 24 year old Black Belt world champ, but we want to reach OUR potential.

And if you want to reach your potential it’ll require a lot of things. I talk about 1 of these important factors in this video.

Hope the video helps you with your BJJ training.

Chat with you next time.

Here’s a super simple defense to the a Knee Cut Guard Pass. Sometimes called a Cut Through. Either way, the defense is very simple and has been one of my most effective in training and competition.

Hope the little tweak helps you out!

Today’s video is from a BJJ White Belt who’s about 2 years into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and says that he is always getting injured. His question is whether or not BJJ is even right for him. Possibly he’s too fragile or something.

Now I cannot answer that question, because who knows? I’ve seen some seemingly frail people become expert grapplers while some stout dudes ended up quitting early on.

Instead, I went on to ask him more about his rolling and he said he tries to take things slow and easy during rolling. Now this might seem like a smart idea, and against higher BJJ belts it can be.

But as I’ll explain in the video. Rolling like this against lower belts can be downright dangerous.

Hopefully the video is useful to you with your training and hopefully helps you avoid some injuries.

In today’s video I answer a question from Raymond who is beconing a new MMA coach at his gym. He’s been a student there and is now becoming a coach on some level. His question to me today is about how to get better at speaking and his ability to coach since he’s a bit nervous.

So in the video I discuss some ideas that could help someone become a better teacher/coach whether they’re new or not. These are the same tips that helped me as someone who felt unsure of themself early on as a coach and who used to have a stutter in my late teens. These tips are for Ray who’s going to be an MMA coach. But you could use these tips for teaching in general.

If you’re a new coach in any capacity then I hope the tips help you.

This is a basic overview for anyone whos trying to drop to a lower weight class or just lose weight and wants to do so without killing themselves in the process.

I say this, because a lot of people in BJJ literally destroy themselves trying to cut weight for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions. And in most cases it isn’t necessary and there is a better way to do things.

So in the video I share some of the simplest weight cutting tips that you can implement to lose weight slowly and intelligently. To lose weight without losing tons of muscle and without destroying your training and performance.

Hope the video is useful!

Oh and if you want to see my diet click the link below. This is pretty much my diet all the time. I simply eat varying amounts of food depending on my goals at the time.

Also, if you want to hire someone to write out your diet for you and be a remote coach to keep you accountable. I can’t recommend my buddy Eli enough. He’s been one of my coaches for the last 2 years and hiring him was one of the best decisions for my performance, health and physical appearance.

The figure 4 defense in BJJ is a common option people use when you try to armbar them from mount. In the short video today, I’ll show you a simple way to bypass that defense and secure the armbar easier.

Today’s video is a question from a viewer who’s involved in MMA and finds that he is a slow starter. Meaning he allows other people to get the better of him but then turns it on after. This is an issue many people have faced, including yours bearded.

So in today’s Q&A video I share some ideas of how I went from being a slow started in BJJ competitions and MMA and into an aggressive fighter/grappler from the moment a match started.

Hope the video gives you some useful ideas for your own training.

Oh, and sorry for the weird brightness in the video. Camera was on the fritz that day.

Want to increase the finish rate with armlocks from side control? Then this video is for you. In this video I’m going to show you my Arm Scoop position from side control along with a ton of important details for finish straight arm locks, kimuras and wrist locks. This is one of my highest percentage attacks in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I’ve done some form of these submissions since I was a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and have used them all the way to Black belt.

But as I’ll share, the most important part is the setup. If you use the arm scoop position like I show in the video, you’ll find that it’s so much easier to catch and finish your BJJ submissions from side control.

Enjoy the video and I hope it helps.

-Chewy

In today’s Q&A I answer a question from a newer BJJ Purple Belt who says he feels like a phony. He says that when he was a White Belt the Purple Belts in his gym were absolute monsters, and he doesn’t feel like he’s a monster. He feels like he’s no where near their skill.

In this video I share some ideas on this common imposter syndrome thing. I also share why in the case of the person asking today’s question, your view of a belt from the ideas of a newbie can skew the reality of the situation.

I know this from experience as a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner myself and as a coach who’s had numerous students say the same thing.

Whether you’re struggling with imposter syndrome because of a new belt or something else, then I hope the video is useful to you.

Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching.

Get stuck in back mount during rolling? Happens to everyone in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at some point. In today’s video I share 6 different ideas on escaping back mount. Some of them are a little funkier than others but I’ve been able to use all of them at some point against tough opponents during rolls.

The escapes include options against top arm side, bottom arm side, and body triangles.

At the end I share a simple back and forth drill you could use as a warm up or to get extra reps in.

Hope the video is useful to you with your back mount escapes in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Talk to you next time.

Don’t Use Your Strength! This is something all of us big strong people hear in BJJ from day 1. And in my bearded opinion it’s some of the WORST advice in BJJ, as I’ll explain in the video.

Now, I’m sure if you train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and are a bit smaller, and have had the pleasure of rolling with a 200lbs+ spazzy person, you may be resistant to this idea. But stick with me in the video and I’ll explain why this advice in BJJ leads to poor performances and more injuries.

After watching the video you’re welcome to leave your comments below.

In today’s BJJ Technique video I show an Anaconda Choke and Schultz Headlock Choke from the front headlock. This is a fun combo to throw into the mix that works off the exact same grip as a setup.

Schultz headlock choke is a fun choke that some people may or may not be familiar with. Dave Schultz used it in wrestling to work towards pinning his opponents. We can use it to submit someone or advanced to a different submission or even the back.

If you’d like more info on the Anaconda Choke for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu just head over to here: https://youtu.be/xL1wJp84XO0

Shout out to my buddy Derek for showing me the headlock so I could study it and mess around with it.
