Chewjitsu is one of the coolest guys in BJJ and I love hanging out and training with him.

He was in Decatur a few weeks ago for the PGF Finale and we took the opportunity to get some content put together.

This was a 2 parter, so if you wanna see the second part head over to Chewy’s channel and check it out here:

In today’s BJJ rolling video you’ll see me moving around in the gi during one of our classes. When you watch the rolling you’ll see Adam almost take my back, another student (Nick) hits a beautiful lapel sweep on me and during this time I was personally on the hunt for straight armlocks. This is 1 of my favorite types of submissions in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

When you watch the rolling I’m constantly looking for any straight armlock or variation of the technique I can hit and manage to hit a couple of different variations.

I hope you enjoy the video and may it inspire you to go on the hunt for armlocks with your own Jiu-jitsu.

Today’s BJJ technique video on Single Leg X Guard comes in response to one of the request from one of the viewers and fits right into our ongoing series on Butterfly Guard. In the previous videos in the series I’ve been showing how to hit the basic Over Under sweep from Butterfly Guard. Well in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, I’m sure you’re aware, that techniques eventually fail. And when they fail you’re going to need another option to work from.

In the video I show how to get to Single X (which could go to regular X Guard too) from a failed sweep. This is actually one of my best entries into Single Leg X.

The idea is simple, when you get a decent sweep attempt you’ll have the person off balance. While off balance you use that opportunity to slide through to the Single X and then attack with a sweep or submission depending on your preference. In the video I show an effective sweep from the position.

Hope this video is useful to you!

In today’s video I answer a question from Alex (a young BJJ Blue Belt) who has some Wrestling experience about rolling with new people inside the gym. He says that recently he was rolling with a brand new guy who also had some wrestling experience. During the rolling he was very easy with the new guy because he wanted to welcome him to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Well, after the round was over the new guy seemed to think that Alex couldn’t do anything to him.

So Alex’s question to me is about whether or not he should put it on the new people in the gym or go easy.

In this video I share a couple of stories about times I took it easy on people and they mistakenly thought I couldn’t do anything to them. Then I also go into how I do things now to help people understand the level of skill that exists but also be helpful at the same time.

If you’re in a similar situation as the Blue Belt when you’re rolling with new White Belts then I hope this is helpful.

Today’s BJJ technique video is a request for a Guillotine Choke from Full Guard. This is one of the earliest submissions I learned in Brazilian Jiujitsu. As I show in the video, this particular technique set up works off of the basic Kimura Sweep / Hip Bump Sweep position.

If the sweep fails you come right back into the submission. Which is a valuable lesson in itself for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Learning to chain techniques together so that even if 1 thing fails, you can always move on to another.

Also in the video I give some key points on finishing the Guillotine Choke efficiently as well as how to change your grip and finish the Arm In Guillotine Choke should the person get their arms in the way.

If this is a move you were interested in then I hope this video helps!

Thanks for watching.

Today’s video is a little different. Recently on Instagram I was asked, “What kind of advice would you give to a young man moving into adulthood?”

I answered that question and received a lot of positive feedback from it and so I decided to make a Youtube video over the same idea. I’m posting it on Sunday so it doesn’t interrupt the normal BJJ flow of the week, since that is why you’re probably subscribed after all. 😉

That said, the video of course touches on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu as it was a big reason I even took this advice to heart.

And while I could probably go on for hours giving tips to a young person about things to look for as an adult. I decided to start with something that I ignore at first, but then later on realized the true power of it. It’s a simple idea that a mentor passed on to me and so now I’m passing onto you.

There’s nothing woo woo or mystical about it, it’s simply bringing focus to something that a lot of people don’t focus on at all.

And whether it’s BJJ or life I’ve repeatedly found that the things I focus on tend to happen. The things I don’t focus on, don’t.

Hopefully the video is useful to you if you’re a younger person, or an older person looking to reshape things a bit.

Thanks for watching.

Fun BJJ story from last year. After I had just finished winning double gold at an IBJJF competition I walked off the mat to cool down and enjoy the fruits of my labor and some literal fruit (in the form of an acai bowl).

A Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Brown Belt came up to me around this time and told me that he loved my channel but it was too basic and wanted me to do more advanced techniques.

As I’ll explain in the video, much of my game is fairly basic. But the way I wield the techniques is advanced. Techniques are simply weapons. And a weapon is only as powerful as the warrior who wields it.

Hope you enjoyed the chat.

In today’s video I’ll show you 5 BJJ side control positions and how I hold them and use them to setup other techniques. I think this will be helpful to anyone from White Belt to the advanced ranks. You’ll see that I prefer some positions for pinning while others work better for setting up submissions or transitioning to other positions.

In the video I show. . .
– Head and hip
– Head and arm control
– Kesa Gatame
– Reverse side control (without arm)
– Reverse side control (with arm)

These are certainly not all of the side control positions you can use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu but they do make of several of the most fundamental you’ll need. And in all honesty. These make up about 90% of the side control style positions I use as a Black Belt in both competitions and hard rolling.

So if you’re looking for some help with your side control then I hope the positions in this video are helpful to you.

Hope this video is helpful to you.

It has been awhile! It’s good to be back. I’ve been slammed this past month. Enough about me let’s talk about this technique!

Being on someone’s back was easily my weakest position up until 3 years ago. A fresh blue belt could escape my back control. I just never really worked to take the back. I always liked mount and side control and tried to finish there.

I realized how bad I sucked at the position one day when my coach had us start on the back the entire class because everyone is switching to ebi rules. Everyone was escaping my control easily. I realized wow I’m terrible at this I really need to work on it. Not gonna lie I was pretty hard on myself. I spent the entire car ride home listening to I wanna get better.

After realizing this I started making it a goal to take everyone’s back and keep it. I studied how people were escaping and drilled in my head ways that I could prevent them from escaping. I started using these three things and I was able to stop most people from escaping my control. Listing to eye of the tiger helped me tremendously.

After that I realized man I’m pretty good at holding the back but now I can’t finish anyone… and that’s a technique for another day. Enjoy the video and I will talk to you next time!🤙🏻

In today’s BJJ Q&A question from Amy she says that feels like she learns more from my instructional videos than she does from her actual BJJ coaches. She has a 2nd part of her question which is about how to talk to her coach about questions she has. So in this video I cover both topics.

First I talk about how instructional videos are great and you can learn a lot from them (and why this is true) but I also talk about why a coach is necessary and how her Brazilian Jiujitsu coach made it possible to learn from the vidoes.

In the 2nd part of the question I talk about the role of coaches as problem solvers and some good ways to approach a BJJ coach with the right kind of questions to ask.

If you’re in a similar situation I hope this video helps!

Why don’t we see more BJJ world champions coming over to fight in MMA? This is today’s question for a Chewy ramble. Now this isn’t a specific technique question but it’s interesting and I figured I’d share my opinion.

Now keep in mind there are plenty of high level Brazilian Jiu-jitsu fighters making their way into Mixed Martial Arts. But for reasons I share in the video, I think you may (I say may because I don’t have hard data) have fewer getting into MMA these days. It’s probably the same reason why fewer boxers and kickboxers get into MMA.

Primarily I think people have other options for using their skills to make a living.

Back in the day BJJ was a much smaller sport with little money in it. So if you spent 10+ years developing this fighting skill you pretty much had to fight in order to make a living. These days you can make a decent living doing BJJ if you have the right skills.

I know from my experiences the reasons I share in the video were true to me.

Hopefully you found the video interesting. Thanks for watching. I’ll talk to you next time.

Here is my second match from the Las Vegas open that I recently found. I always enjoyed watching film of other people competing when I was coming up. so I wanted to post as many of my matches for you all as I can. I’m going back through some files to look for matches that have not been posted yet.
