Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Heavy – Final

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Light – Final

Today’s question is from Santiago and his question is about adding Boxing into the mix with his BJJ training. But he has some questions about how to integrate them together. His main problem are time away from Brazilian Jiujitsu and he doesn’t want to get a concussion from Boxing training.

So in this video I share some information about how I worked Boxing into the mix during my days as an MMA fighter. This way you can see how a grappler could mix in striking based martial arts without getting hurt or suffering from excessive damage due to sparring.

If you’re thinking about adding in some Boxing or Kickboxing to your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training then I hope this video is useful to you.

Thanks for watching.

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Middle – Final

Ever get pain in your arms from BJJ training or run out of steam with your grips during collar chokes? In this video I’m going to show you some simple exercises for BJJ grip training plus give you an idea of bringing balance to your forearm and hand muscles that can resolve some of the pain you could be experiencing. The exercise I show 1st in the video along with the balancing idea cleared up a lot of elbow tendonitis I dealt with a few years ago from Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

In addition to the balancing exercise I’m also going to show you a couple of weird strengthening exercises you can use to develop strength in areas. The movements I show are specific for collar chokes in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

So I hope this video is helpful and gives you some more ideas on how to train your grips rather than simply doing only curling exercises which can lead to more problems.

Thanks for watching the video!

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

Recently I got an email from one of the email readers about a video where BJJ was called mutilated. Basically a Gracie family member called the sport of BJJ and the way many gyms practice mutilated, incomplete and essentially said they were not as good as the traditional Gracie Jiu-jitsu style he learned.

Let me start by saying I have a deep sense of gratitude for the Gracie family. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have ever started training BJJ. But I think this criticism is a little off. Martial arts are a type of self expression that’s always evolving and changing.

Take for instance traditional Jujutsu which spawned Judo. Where Kano made changes to the training philosophy and focus for various reasons. Then Judoka went all over the world spreading Judo, doing challenge matches and also taught some Brazilians.

The Brazilians then modified the focus and created this thing called Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. When Masahiko Kimura faced Helio Gracie he wrote about the “soft mats” which lessened the damage of throws and the “Brazilian rules.”

Now the Gracies (and others) have spread BJJ around the world, just like Judo, and it’s evolving into something new just as all martial arts do. But there is no 1 governing body for BJJ like Judo and so it allows for much more creative expression but also steers away from direct control.

The cat is out of the bag so to speak and I think it’s a good thing.

So do I think BJJ and sport BJJ is a mutilated art? Not really. No more than Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is mutilated Judo or Judo mutilated Jujutsu. The world changes, things evolve and while it may not fit someone’s desires that’s just not how the world works.

Martial arts are ancient and will continue to evolve.

Thanks for watching the video.

Get the at-home workout guide at: https://www.chewjitsu.net/corona
In this at home workout we recorded I do 10 squats, 10 push ups, 10 burpees and 5 split squats to each leg. The workout took 20 minutes and required no extra equipment.

This is certainly no replacement for BJJ or solid weight lifting but if you just need a good sweat at home then give it a try.

Also included in the free at home guide is over 20 other workouts that you can throw into the mix along with some tips on dealing with a layoff from BJJ training.

Hope you and your family are healthy and safe. Stay strong and lets continue to make it through this thing together.
