Want to learn a slick Armbar for BJJ in the Gi? Want ADAM to teach it? Well then this is your video.

We’ve had several requests for Adam to teach a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu technique on the channel. And in today’s video I step aside and allow our favorite Uke to demonstrate a technique of his own.

That’s right the tables have turned on Chewy and Adam for this video.

This Armbar variation is primarily for the gi as it will involve a gi speific grip on the belt. While it could be adapted for no gi as well. It’s a gi move.

So if you’re looking for another Armbar to throw into the mix than I hope this Brazilian Jiujitsu technique is useful for you.

Give it a try the next time you’re in this position when rolling or training.

Oh and if you enjoyed the video! Throw Adam some love in the comments. 🙂

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

Combat Jiu Jitsu Worlds is this weekend and I’m ultra pumped to be involved once again! I’ll be doing commentary alongside my man TJ Desantis. In anticipation, I’m gonna be breaking down some footage of a few of our combatants.

This was an INSANE matchup between Sheridan Moran and Nick Honstein from the Combat Jiu Jitsu tournament at EBI 11.

The regulation period was fast paced and it was back and forth. The OT was totally up for grabs. Watch what happens when Nick Honstein grabs the Twister and goes for the finish!

Hope you guys enjoy, and I’ll hope you’ll join me on May 26 on UFC Fight Pass!

Can BJJ help depression? This is the question from our friend Alexander today.

I assume he is depressed and wondering if Brazilian Jiu-jitsu would be helpful in combating the mental illness.

In this video I share two books, and some of my own experiences.
Here are the two books I reference and the links to them. Heads up these are affiliate links. So if you buy from them it gives me a kickback. This costs you nothing. I just wanted to be upfront.

Most of us feel amazing after a bout of exercise. Maybe tired, but good over all. And in the video I share 1 of the reasons why scientists theorize why we feel so good after exercise.

Besides referencing books I also share some stories from experience with myself and my students about how Brazilian Jiujitsu has been useful with treating their depression.

All in all I do think that BJJ training could be useful for depression. Obviously it’s no substitute for medication or a doctors guidance. But from what I’ve seen from my friends and students. It can be helpful.

Let me add a big line of caution. If you have any questions about treatment for depression and medications. Please contact a doctor for more guidance.

Is getting a promotion in BJJ simply about winning competitions and medals? I don’t think so, but belts are also very subjective.

In this video we have a question from a BJJ Blue Belt who has a strong wrestling background as he’s been doing it since he was 11.

Since transitioning to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu he’s found that he’s been very effective in BJJ competitions. Medaling or winning every single tournament he’s done.

As a Blue Belt he’s continued this winning streak and recently when his coach began to give out promotions he was for sure that he would get promoted.

But he didn’t get promoted and he’s not sure what gives.

In this video I explain how I think a big part of his promotion, or lack thereof, is based upon his reluctance to play Guard or from any bottom positions in BJJ.

As a coach, I think it’s imperative that every person have the ability to play off their back. It’s one of the defining characteristics of Brazilian Jiujitsu. But it’s also something very unnatural to people from a wrestling background.

So if you’re a wrestler or someone resistant to the bottom game in BJJ, either during rolling or competition. Then I hope this video is useful to you!
