ADULT / BLACK-BELT / MALE / ULTRA-HEAVY – FINAL
In today’s BJJ Q&A video I answer a question from a young guy who’s struggling with aggression and anger on in Jiu-jitsu. He says that whenever people are aggressive with him or rough during rolling, he tends to get angry, and it makes him overly aggressive. He says that once he’s in this mode, it’s not a good thing. His technique gets sloppy and so he wants to stop it from negatively affecting his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.
So he sends the message to me to ask if I or any of my students have ever had this problem. And if so, what can he do about it?
The answer is of course yes, it’s happened to me and plenty of my students. And if it’s something that’s happened to you then I hope this video gives you some useful ideas on how to stop the issue.
As always thanks for watching.

In today’s video I answer a question from Josh who is an adult Green Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Now some of you may be a little confused since Green Belts in Jiu-jitsu are usually saved for teenagers and kids (which I’ll explain).
But with that, he’s getting ready for a BJJ competition, and he wants to know what to compete since there are no adult Green Belt divisions.
So in this video I share some ideas from my own experience as a former adult Green Belt back in 2004 when I was a newer student in BJJ.
I also tell a story about a stinky white belt. Not a person white belt. . . my actual belt.
Enjoy the video and thanks for watching.

Learn the spider guard sweep from the best in the business. 3X World Champion Michael Langhi breaks down the minute details to getting the best out of your spider guard in this weeks Competition Tested Technique.
Recently I came across a video of a teenage BJJ blue belt being slammed by a much larger purple belt. The video (which the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach of the gym and father of the teenager posted) shows a video of a much larger guy slamming a much smaller teenager.
Now the situation is unfortunate but it’s a good lesson to observe in the future for yourself should you ever roll with someone brand new. Brand new meaning, new to Jiu-jitsu or just new to your gym.
As I’ll explain in the video I’ve had some unfortunate situations that I learned the hard way. So I’m sharing to hopefully help you not make the same mistake or have the “pleasure” of learning the lesson as bad as some have.

Today’s BJJ technique focused video is for my student Evan who’s got a great butterfly guard game. And so many of the people in the gym are forcing him to play different positions like half guard. From there it makes it hard for him to get to butterfly guard and he says he’s been getting hit with ankle locks and leg locks.
So in today’s video I’m going to show you some details that I wanted to show him about how he could possibly deal with this.
As a butterfly guard player myself i have the same problem and this has been 1 of the best ways to counter the issue. It hinges on a simple half guard sweep which I’ve shown on the channel that you can then use as an off balancing technique.
To see the original sweep go here: https://youtu.be/KxkcHaLAxTU
Hope the technique helps.

ADULT / BLACK-BELT / MALE / LIGHT – FINAL
The following reasons are why it’s never too late to start Jiu Jitsu.
If you injure someone during Jiu-jitsu training, are you responsible? This is the heart of the question I answer in today’s BJJ Q&A video. The question was asked by several different people recently, so I wanted to touch on the topic.
Injuries suck and it’s one of the downsides to training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. . . or any sport really. But at the same time, even if you don’t train you’ll probably experience some injuries and wear and tear on the body regardless.
But either way, in today’s BJJ video I’ll give you some ideas to chew on regarding injuries in the gym and if you’re responsible for your training partner who was hurt during an accidental situation.
Hope the video helps.

The other day I did a little experiment! I took my Chewjtisu gi made by Origin in ‘Murica and put it up against my old Chewjitsu gi made overseas.
My Origin has their American pearl weave unique to them and my other gi has a traditional pearl weave we’ve all used.
Here’s what I did.
#1 I weighed them.
The Origin was slightly lighter but both were hovering close to 3lbs. Pretty normal for my gis. Mind you I hate ultra-light gis. Thin fabric is hell for breaking grips.
#2 I washed them and then weighed them again.
I wanted to see which one retained more water. The traditional pearl weave retained about twice as much water, while the Origin top felt almost dry to the touch and the pants were slightly damp. The fact that the Origin top was almost dry really surprised me.
This may not seem like a big deal. But part of the reason why gis get so hot is because they get soaked with water and your sweat can’t evaporate efficiently. This is why moisture wicking clothes keep you cool.
#3 I dried them on high heat.
I wanted to see which 1 dried faster. Sadly, Jess and I got distracted watching a show and I didn’t do my 1st test until after 15 minutes. But at 15 minutes my Chewjitsu gi by Origin was bone dry while my old school Chewjitsu gi was still a bit damp.
