Today’s BJJ Q&A video is a little different as it comes from the question of a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym owner who has a student leaving under less than optimal terms. In this video his question is about accepting a student back.

In this video I share a story that started when I was a Brown Belt and ended when I was a Black Belt. It was where I had a friend and a high ranking belt leave the gym to open up another gym.

It happened under less than desirable terms and so I had to tell the student he couldn’t train. Sometime later the BJJ gym he had started closed down and I share how I invited him back.

Every situation is different but I believe people make mistakes and I won’t choose to hold it against anyone if they are willing to move past them.

And as I’ll also talk about in this video. If you’re a gym owner and you have other people in the area talking trash about you. Use that negative energy that’s put towards you to drive you in being a better coach to your students.

Thanks for watching the video.
-Chewy

The Dummy Sweep in BJJ is a great sweeping option that also goes great as a setup to Leg Lock positions. I believe the 1st time I saw this technique was from a video of Marcelo Garcia. After seeing the sweep I’ve used it as a part of my Open Guard ever since.

The reason they call it the Dummy Sweep because you’ll feel like such a dummy if someone hits you with the sweep.

Whether you’re a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu White Belt or Black Belt. If you don’t use this technique, or haven’t used it much, I think it can be really helpful.

Most recently one of my White Belts in class, Darien, has been using the Dummy Sweep a bunch. And I can say that I use the Dummy Sweep a lot as a standalone sweep or to setup other Open Guards positions.

So thanks for watching! I hope this technique is useful to you and your Brazilian Jiujitsu training.

Technique or strength? Which one is more important? This is a big debate that goes on in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu where people will tout technique as KING and that strength doesn’t matter. Where others, like myself, encourage the development of strength and athleticism in the body to improve their BJJ.

In this video I talk about the myth or misconception that is spread through Brazilian Jiu-jitsu that strength doesn’t matter. I do my best to dispel what I believe are hindering ideas.

This comes as a question from our friend Matthew who isn’t training yet. And while I do answer the question I try to use it as an opportunity to encourage all of you to keep your body healthy and strong. Don’t ignore your physical being for technique training only.

If you’re body is weak, broken or in bad shape. All the Brazilian Jiujitsu training isn’t going to be helpful.

Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Open-Class- Quarterfinal

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Open-Class – Quarterfinal

Today’s technique question comes from Jesse who wants a high percentage Honeyhole Entry for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. In this video I show an entry from Half Guard. Now Honeyhole goes by other names like sankaku, saddle, etc. It’s a great position for setting up heel hooks, kneebars, straight ankles, slicers and all sorts of leg locks.

Even before I started playing much with leg locks in BJJ I liked the position. It has a ton of submission options from it and does a good job of protecting your legs against their attacks.

For instance with a position like 50/50 in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Both people have the ability to attack with a submission. With the honeyhole position it’s much more difficult. It’s not to say that there aren’t things you can do. But it’ just more difficult.

In this video I show my favorite and one of the more high percentage entries I started using early on. The best part about this technique is that it works off of someone doing the right thing inside of half guard.

So thanks again for the quesiton Jesse! Hope the video is useful. And if you’re looking for an entry into the position I hope this gets your brain thinking.

Thanks for watching!
