Recently I competed at the IBJJF 2019 Summer Chicago Open tournament. During this BJJ competition I was able to hit several of the techniques I teach through my Youtube videos and in my gym.

During the highlight video you’ll see a mixture of guard passing, top pressure and takedowns where I was able to win triple gold at the BJJ tournament. The medals were 1 gold in my weight class (gi) then gold in my weight class (no gi) and I won the open class (no gi).

These matches took place in the Masters 1 division.

If you’re not familiar with what Masters divisions are in Brazilian Jiujitsu. They’re divisions for us “old” guys. Haha.

Truth be told I still compete against younger guys in various tournaments but I prefer the shorter match times of 6 minutes. This match duration allows me to play aggressively without worrying about running out of steam.

Enjoy the video and I just want to say thanks again to all of you who showed your support during the competition.

Oh and it was great meeting many of you who were there!

Thanks for watching!
-Chewy

In class recently I was teaching what my BJJ students and I jokingly call the Spoon Choke. Which is just a rear naked choke that ends in the “spoon” position you might be in with a your significant other. And one of my White Belts asked a good question. Is position before submission a myth?

She asked this because the position we were attacking from is not part of the Big 3 most commonly awarded points in competition and focused on during training. These Brazilian Jiu-jitsu positions being Mount, Back Mount and Side Control with Knee On Belly being used as well.

I told her that position before submission is not a myth. Our ability to dominate position gives us the ability to control our opponents effectively and setup a submission with predictable effectiveness.

That said, there are submissions everywhere in Brazilian Jiujitsu and they don’t happen only after you gain dominant position.

In fact, for me one of the things I’ve found that has been helpful for back mount is by attacking the submission early, even before I establish the hooks and everything.

I still have dominant position even if it’s not the normal positions we are accustomed to.

By doing this I catch the person off guard while they’re fighting for position and I am able to secure the submission.

Check out the idea and maybe it will be useful to you.

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

When I compete in BJJ tournaments and competitions I’m not really focused on getting the gold medal. Do I want to win my matches? Of course, but I’ve found that when my mindset is fixated on winning or losing, or getting the gold medal, I lose sight of what I have to do to win. Which is COMPETE and use my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game to the best of it’s abilities.

I bring this up because our friend who is a new Blue Belt send a question in about losing the gold medal/winning mindset.

Basically, he took 2nd place as a White Belt and ever since then he’s been itching to get back after it and have a chance at winning a gold medal. So in pursuit of this goal he’s been training his butt off.

And with only 6 weeks prior to his competition his coach decided to promote him. Now, this would be a great thing, but now he’s worried about competing at a higher level.

He said that he’s lost the “I’m gonna go for the win and the gold medal” to “I’m just going to survive.”

Now we all want to win our matches in Brazilian Jiujitsu tournaments. It goes without saying.

But in this video I’ll explain why I personally don’t like to compete with a fixation on winning.
Hopefully it’s help with your mindset in BJJ competitions.
-Chewy

Here Jake shows a fairly simple but tricky submission option when the basic butterfly sweep fails. Most experienced players probably won’t let you sweep them so easily so this submission finish works great to catch your opponent off guard when he defends the sweep.
