I remember Kyle first teaching me this move. I was laughing at him showing it. I think I was like 14. I was thinking wow this looks ridiculous no way it works.

So I tired it out because turtle was one of my favorite positions at the time. It worked! I thought hm maybe just luck. So I tried again and again. I was hitting it all the time. I started doing it in tournaments and every time the person wouldn’t move on me.

I actually forgot about this technique and I’m just now getting back to using it.

We had same color kimonos on so I picked a technique that didn’t require as much movement so it’s easier to comprehend and see grips.

In this episode of the podcast we talk about following your own path.

We’re on this subject because Chad is leaving to move down to Tennessee.

We also share some stories about the No Gi Pans, competing and even the nerdy way I keep my journals.

I hope you enjoy this episode of the Chewjitsu podcast.

Have you ever not received credit for something when you felt like you should have? Perhaps you helped someone but then never received any recognition.

That’s what’s going on in today’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu video.

Our friend Jay who is a 4 stripe Blue Belt has taken upon himself to help out one of the White Belts in his gym with a Baseball Choke technique he’s developed.

And it worked! The BJJ White Belt took the technique and has been able to hit it several times in tournaments and in training. So much so, that this White Belt has become synonymous with this choke.

The only problem is that he has never given Jay any credit for the help.

Jay knows that he shouldn’t feel upset about this. But he says he’s found that it frustrates him.

In this video I draw some parallels to how I felt as a young Brazilian Jiujitsu coach and Jay’s situation.

And I talk about not giving people help in any situation on a conditional basis if you’re really trying to help them.

I also discuss how to turn this negative situation on the mats into a positive by channeling the negative energy into a positive by teaching more people.

But the biggest idea I try to share in this video is that if you take on the role of a teacher or coach in Brazilian Jiujitsu. You need to take joy out of teaching someone. Not getting recognition for it. Finding joy in someone else’s success.

When I was first starting out in jiujitsu I was 11 the only kid in class. Everyone else was 3x my size! As I started getting older and better I was able to start getting to top positions a lot more.

But the problem I ran into was if I tried to hold the mount I would get launched across the room. I tried going to fat boy mount and it just wouldn’t work on someone to big and strong.

So I learned that I don’t always have to keep the mount. Sometimes it is better to just switch off to knee on belly than go back if possible or circle to the back. I mix this in with the fat boy mount and I can usually keep to position much easier now.

Have you ever had to leave your BJJ gym? Whether because of a falling out with the coach or a gym closing, like in today’s video, it’s a tough situation.

Years ago I was forced to leave my original Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym and I’ve had a number of students who have come to me from another gym.

And our friend Em is in a situation where she is leaving her BJJ gym because her coach is closing the gym down.

Her biggest worry is that now she’ll have to find a new BJJ family and it won’t be the same as the original.

And in this video I share some of the situations and how to deal with the changing of BJJ gyms.

I share some personal stories that happened with some of my Brown and Black Belts and how things worked out better in the end.

If you’re in a similar situation where you’re changing BJJ schools. I hope the video is helpful!

To check out Kyles gym in St Louis, visit:

Home

While in St Louis training. I wanted to make sure that I took you through a tour of Kyle Watson’s gym. It’s an absolutely beautiful Mixed Martial Arts training facility in mid town are of St Louis.

I had the chance to train there months ago and made it back for some training recently. And the 1st thing I noticed about the place on the 1st visit was how nice the place was.

They also have a ton of space for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu rolling.

If you don’t know who Kyle is. He’s a UFC veteran and a skilled Brazilian Jiujitsu Black Belt. He’s still an active competitor and a full time gym owner.

He’s also a great guy and his gym has a fantastic vibe. The training is tough as it should be. But it’s in a fun uplifting manner.

Enjoy the video. And if you’re ever in the area. I cannot recommed Kyle’s gym enough.

It’s full of amazing people and great BJJ instruction.

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

This was from my second No Gi BJJ training session leading up to the 2018 No Gi Pans in St Louis. It was another tough one!

I met up with again with Kyle, Nick, Jeff and Junior for some tough No Gi BJJ.

By the way, it’s worth noting that all these dudes medaled at the No Gi Pans this past weekend. They’re all tough as nails and I was wiped out after training with them.

The Brazilian Jiujitsu training session begins with some passing and sweeping rolling.

Then afterwards we moved on to some rounds where the focus is on who scores 1st.

Oftentimes it’s the person who scores 1st who wins. And so it’s important to strike 1st in your BJJ competitions. So the drill was simply that. Both people working hard to get the 1st set of points.

It’s a great way to help prepare for BJJ tournaments when you need to fire off quickly in your match.

Afterwards we continue our Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training with some regular rolling .

During the rolling you’ll see me pass, sweep and take the back. You’ll also see me get taken down, passed and swept.

The guys I’m rolling with are all tough Brazilian Jiujitsu practitioner. Almost all of them seasoned Black Belts. So they’re very good. And I had to work hard. Hence why there is so much butt sweat at the end haha.

And I think my training with them definitely helped me win the 2018 No Gi Pans at the Ultra Heavy Master 1 division.

Enjoy the video and rolling.

And if you’re ever in St Louis, definitely check out Kyle Watson’s gym. He’s a great guy and runs a fantastic gym.

Is foam rolling good for recovery?

In my opinion, yes.

But foam rolling works differently than you think.

Foam rolling is effective on a neurological level where the pressure on your muscles gives your brain feedback to release the restricted area.

There is also a component of bringing blood flow to the area you are foam rolling, With blood flow you get oxygen and nutrition to your muscle which will essentiallly assist with recovery.

Most people agree that foam rolling is a better technique for after activity as a recovery tool. I personally have found benefit to foam rolling before and after BJJ or training as I feel the aspect of increased blood flow helps my muscles get warmed up and also the neurological component of foam rolling helps with the recovery and keeping my muscles from getting as tight after training.

Try it out and see what works for you, but keep in mind that foam rolling is a useful tool in addition to a complete recovery program.
