I love BJJ training but my family hates it! What should I do?

This is the question I got from our friend Liz who is a White Belt in today’s Chewy Ramble.

I related to Liz because when I started Wrestling, BJJ and MMA. My mother was very much against the idea.

Now she was super supportive. She always had my back. But she didn’t like the idea of me fighting.

I don’t think she was against Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or MMA because she hated it, but because she was concerned for me.

I remember when I won my 1st MMA fight. I showed my mom and after seeing the fight. My mom hit me and called me mean!

And she would always ask me, “Why are you doing this?”

Now even though she didn’t like it, she respected it. And she respected it because of the hard work I put into it and the dedication she saw.

In the video I share how I believe Liz’s family will slowly begin to respect her decision to get into Brazilian Jiujitsu and grappling.

It happens overtime because they realize that it’s REAL, it’s not going away.

So Liz, I hope this video was helpful. And if you’re into BJJ and having a similar issue, I hope it’s helpful to you.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

When I am passing the Guard of someone with long legs in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I typically begin to force Half Guard.

By doing this I am able to get closer and make it harder to their leg length.

In this video I show my strategy against long legged BJJ practitioners.

I also touch on the idea of how to deal with Knee Shields and Spider Lasso grips by avoiding tension.

Along with the positional elements I use to force and pass Half Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu. I also talk about strong head positioning.

As I’ve shared before. Head positioning is often overlooked in BJJ, which is unfortunate, because it’s incredibly powerful.

Locking someones head position makes it very difficult for them to defend your offensive weapons.

This video is more of a strategy or concept video rather than a hard technique video.

It’s just a few ideas for your to Chew On with your BJJ training or competitions.

Get it. . . Chew On?

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the video!

In this video Joe and I do a workout together and answer questions from Instagram.

We also tough on some ideas for weight training for BJJ during our own lifting.

You can check out Joe here:

Here are some of the questions from video:

Which is better for BJJ crosstraining? Yoga or weight training?

Best way to lose weight and gain muscle?

Does jiu-jitsu give you muscle?

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Discipline or Motivation ?

How to cut weight and lose minimal amounts of muscle?

Should I keep more muscle or slim down?

What supplements I take?

My workout that day was pretty light. I kept to some bench press, pendlay rows and some auxiliary work and Joe is working on some olympic lifting.

I hope you guys enjoyed the video and if you have any questions. Put them down below.

This past weekend following the ADCC North American Trials I saw a comment on Instagram that went something to the effect of “he beat that bjj Youtuber” or something like that.

And I honestly understand completely.

In a world of social media, there’s so much BS. As I talk about in the video there are so many situations and it often causes us to be apprehensive of people because we don’t want to be tricked.

And one of the things that is nice about me continuing to compete in BJJ competitions is that I can show you that I’m walking my walk.

I do the things that I say.

I may not be the best at every facet of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. But I walk my talk. I proceed with 100% integrity.

And I will continue to do so.

I hope you enjoy the video.
