What’s up guys,

Today we have a question from a fan, who ask “is Gi or No-Gi Better for Old Guy Beginners?”

Now, in this video I rephrase the question a bit, to this:

Is Gi or No-Gi Easier for Older Beginners in Jiu-Jitsu?

The reason I do this is because “better” is a bit subjective, whereas the difficultly between the two, especially as one tends to get older, definitely changes for most normal people. This is due to the physicality, speed, and slipperiness of one vs. the other.

With that being said there are clear benefits of doing both. Doing No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu will help with your Gi BJJ, and vice versa.

In the video I’ll explain which of the 2 I think is easier, why, and how training both can be beneficial to your overall Jiu-Jitsu game, regardless of which one you prefer.

Of course, this is all just my opinion.

If you’re an older grappler who was wondering which style of BJJ you should do, then hopefully you found this video helpful for you.

What’s up guys,

So recently, I posted a video about drilling in BJJ and some popular opinions on it from guys like John Danaher.

And in the wake of sharing my opinion, as this often happens on the internet, many people misunderstood the point of the video.

The misunderstanding being that “X” other form of training in Jiu-Jitsu is not as good as Drilling.

But that’s not what the video is about.

The focus of the video was an emphasis on focused drilling vs. passive/mindless drilling in training. So, in a order to clarify (as much as I possibly can in 7 minutes) we will go a little deeper into my ideal form of training, as it relates to drilling, and other things in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Hopefully you find the ideas in this video helpful & if you needed some clarification, then this did it for you.

Cole Abate vs Dudu Granzotto did not disappoint.

Today’s question comes from FitJiuJitsuSydney, they sent me a message about drilling, they ask:

“What do you think about John Danaher’s opinion, saying that more reps don’t always mean better technique?”

Often times we hear about these quick fixes to BJJ, the 3-year black belts, the “Get good fast” instructionals, etc. And often, this undermines the importance of focused drilling and try’s selling some idea that’s easy & tends to lack any sort of nuance.

In the video I’ll discuss my thoughts on John Danaher’s idea and how I try to apply it to my own training, and how I try to apply it to the training of my students.

Specifically, I’ll dive into the issue with drilling where most people just “go through the motions” instead of having focused, intentional, drilling sessions.

I’ll also discuss some ideas related to the growth of high-level athletes in other sports, this idea coming from a book I had once read, and how these ideas can apply to your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique and developing that “feel” with intentional drilling.

Now, while I think this focused drilling is great, I also talk about some of the downsides with this type of training, especially for day-to-day grapplers & how adding play to these focus training sessions can be beneficial too.

Hopefully you found the ideas in this video helpful.

What’s up guys!

So, in today’s BJJ technique video I’m going show you how a concept to hide your Arm Bars when you’re grappling. We will play on this idea that most competent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners have great initial responses to attacks.

Whether that be an armbar, or some random Bearded guy rolling up behind them at the local Whole Foods and throwing up a Rear Naked Choke, most people in BJJ will defend almost immediately just off muscle memory.

During your training you develop this sensitivity to submissions, and the grips needed to set them up, and you will usually react to the first threat attempted.

So, the question is, how do we successfully implement our armbars in BJJ when most people have the ability to stop our first move in most Jiu-Jitsu situations? How do we execute a technique if the person already knows your setup?

Well, in this video we’re going to explore some ideas on how to set up BJJ armbars with a little more stealth, that way you can actually secure your submissions!

Hopefully you guys enjoy the video!

Ronaldo Junior always brings the intensity to all of his fights.

Sam Nagai looked amazing at the 2022 World Championships.

Today we have question from a fellow big fella named Sam.

He asks,

“Chewy what would you say to a White Belt in BJJ, who is bigger than the rest of the class, other than to simply play defense?”

I’m not sure where Sam heard this advice, but if he were my student this is NOT what I advise you to do, or at least not what I would say anyone’s main focus in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu should be.

Instead, I tell Sam the one thing I think he SHOULD focus on in training, especially as a big boy.

This idea is something that I base off the competitive big guys in my room, past and present, who were/are really tough to deal with during live rolls.

Even in competition, when I have the most trouble with bigger grapplers it’s usually the ones who have clearly made THIS the focus of their game, or at least a big part of it.

If you’re a big man, or woman, and want to develop a well-rounded & complex Jiu-Jitsu game, then I think applying some of the ideas from this video will help you do just that.

Playing Jiu-Jitsu like this will also make you a much more inviting roll for smaller grapplers during training, and just be helpful for you overall growth in the martial art.

Hopefully if you’ve found yourself in a situation like Sam’s, then you found the ideas in this video helpful.

Dudu Granzotto with the slick choke. What do they call this one at your gym?

What’s up guys!

So, today’s video is going to be a little different.

It’s more of a BJJ Vlog.

I’ll take you guys into one of our day-to-day Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sessions. In this class we were focusing on smash passing in the Gi, specifically passing from top half guard.

The techniques in this video are pretty basic and build off of some Half Guard & Underhook passing techniques that we focused on in the weeks prior to this class.

You’ll get to see me teach some of my favorite Chest-to-Chest passing techniques, how to get around the Knee Shield of your opponents, some live Jiu-Jitsu rolling, and more.

The techniques in this video work well for anyone, but it’s definitely a great one if you’re a little older, a little bigger, a little less athletic, or if you just want to shut down your speedy, or leg lock heavy, opponents.

On top of all of that, the techniques in the video work well in both Gi and No-GI.

Hopefully you guys find a few ideas in the video useful and just had fun watching the vlog!

Recently, I got a question from “Thatcoast” on YouTube who asks:

What did you learn as a Purple Belt in BJJ, that you still use the most as a Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu.

It’s a great question, as Purple Belt was an interesting Belt for me!

As a Purple Belt, there were a ton of different changes going on including my original Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gym being a rather hard-nosed, grimy, Jiu-Jitsu gym.

We were a small gym, competition focused, both for BJJ and MMA. Because of this hardcore culture, we didn’t really get “good” at a ton of techniques. Rather, we were pretty good at what we did, which was very limited in one way or another, and very “tough” (in my case I was basically just a Wrestler and Top Player)

When I got my Purple Belt, because of the type of training I would do at my gym, I went through this phase where I would lose to other Purple Belts at Jiu-Jitsu competitions quiet often.

I was getting SMOKED…

If I did win, I was rarely winning because of technicality.

Eventually I changed gyms, and my new coaches told me that to get my brown belt I needed to EXPAND my game, or there was no chance of a promotion.

I was initially resistant to this, I never learned to “lose” in practice, and this made me plateau. But I eventually overcame this and was able to get promoted.

As a Purple Belt, more than just techniques, I learned how to yield to the process. Learning how to try new things, and learning to lose in practice so that I could eventually win in competitions, and even more importantly learn how to become good at Jiu-Jitsu (not just “tough”)

Hopefully you find the ideas in this video helpful to you.

In today’s video I answer a question from a viewer named Senju, who recently competed at a BJJ tournament against an opponent who he had previously beaten decisively.

This time however, at this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition, he barely beat this guy, winning on a judge’s decision.

At the end of the day Senju feels like he didn’t win the match.

He says he feels gross about the victory and ask how I would deal with these feelings that bottle up when you don’t think you deserved to win a match, that you in fact do win on the score board (in his case by advantage)

Often times in BJJ you’re going to run into the same opponents on your way up the competitive circuit, because realistically there aren’t that many people who compete.

Naturally there’s going to be progress in both competitors grappling games as time goes on and close matches will undoubtedly vary in results (unless you’re way better than your opponent).

In this video I’ll talk more about this back-and-forth that often happens in BJJ, a recent ADCC Trials winner(a buddy of mine Jacob Couch) who struggled with this against a game opponent & then won when it “mattered”, and more revolving around this unique subject in Jiu-Jitsu.

Hopefully you find these ideas helpful in some way, especially if you’ve been in a similar situation to Senju.
