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.

What would be better for someone in Jiu-jitsu, a private lesson or BJJ instructional series? This is the question we have from 1 of the viewers. So in today’s video I’ll get down into the ideas that I think are really important when considering a private lesson with a BJJ coach or an instructional series.

It really boils down to being able to answer a very specific question before you buy the lesson or course. If you cannot answer this question, then you’ll probably get subpar results from the private lesson or course. But if you have an answer, you’ll be able to approach the information with focus and get the most from it.

So, if you’re considering 1 or the other, I hope the video helps.

In today’s video I answer a question from a viewer who struggles with cardio in BJJ. He says that he’s training hard and doing all the stuff that you would normally do, but he can’t seem to improve his cardio on the mats.

In this video I share a story about 1 of my best friends who started Brazilian Jiu-jitsu with me back in 2003. For several years we basically ate, slept and trained together all the time. Our schedules were nearly identical. But for whatever reason his cardio never improved as fast as mine.

I share why this happened in the video. Now, disclaimer, this may not be the reason for someone else, but it’s worth checking out in case you’re having similar issues as the person asking the question in the video.

Thanks for watching. Chat with you next time.
