If you injure someone during Jiu-jitsu training, are you responsible? This is the heart of the question I answer in today’s BJJ Q&A video. The question was asked by several different people recently, so I wanted to touch on the topic.

Injuries suck and it’s one of the downsides to training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. . . or any sport really. But at the same time, even if you don’t train you’ll probably experience some injuries and wear and tear on the body regardless.

But either way, in today’s BJJ video I’ll give you some ideas to chew on regarding injuries in the gym and if you’re responsible for your training partner who was hurt during an accidental situation.

Hope the video helps.

The other day I did a little experiment! I took my Chewjtisu gi made by Origin in ‘Murica and put it up against my old Chewjitsu gi made overseas.
​
My Origin has their American pearl weave unique to them and my other gi has a traditional pearl weave we’ve all used.
​
Here’s what I did.
​
#1 I weighed them.
The Origin was slightly lighter but both were hovering close to 3lbs. Pretty normal for my gis. Mind you I hate ultra-light gis. Thin fabric is hell for breaking grips.
​
#2 I washed them and then weighed them again.
I wanted to see which one retained more water. The traditional pearl weave retained about twice as much water, while the Origin top felt almost dry to the touch and the pants were slightly damp. The fact that the Origin top was almost dry really surprised me.

This may not seem like a big deal. But part of the reason why gis get so hot is because they get soaked with water and your sweat can’t evaporate efficiently. This is why moisture wicking clothes keep you cool.

#3 I dried them on high heat.
I wanted to see which 1 dried faster. Sadly, Jess and I got distracted watching a show and I didn’t do my 1st test until after 15 minutes. But at 15 minutes my Chewjitsu gi by Origin was bone dry while my old school Chewjitsu gi was still a bit damp.

What would be better for someone in Jiu-jitsu, a private lesson or BJJ instructional series? This is the question we have from 1 of the viewers. So in today’s video I’ll get down into the ideas that I think are really important when considering a private lesson with a BJJ coach or an instructional series.

It really boils down to being able to answer a very specific question before you buy the lesson or course. If you cannot answer this question, then you’ll probably get subpar results from the private lesson or course. But if you have an answer, you’ll be able to approach the information with focus and get the most from it.

So, if you’re considering 1 or the other, I hope the video helps.
