Today we have a question from a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner named Jacob, and he asked HOW to finish a mounted guillotine choke.

He said that he’s able to sweep his partner’s over and get into the submission but struggles to actually finish the guillotine choke if he’s in mount.

So, to help Jacob, and anyone else who’s struggling to finish this choke in BJJ or MMA, I’ll break down the basic ideas of finishing the submission, both in guard and on top.

Hopefully you find a couple of the ideas in this video useful for you.

Today we have a question from a self-proclaimed “Spazzy” White Belt.

He’s curious about the difference between someone who’s the master of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques vs. someone who knows those same BJJ techniques but is not quite a “master” at them yet.

He says the highest percentage submissions at a high-level competition are always the most basic: Arm bars, kimuras, triangles, rear naked chokes, etc.

He asks if I can explain what the different between a master and a novice of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu using the same techniques?

He can’t understand how the highest-level competitors still get caught in the most fundamental jiu-jitsu techniques.

In this video I’ll try to dive into this question through the lense of “invisible Jiu-Jitsu” and principle founded by Rickson Gracie, plus a few more ideas about learning to “feel” in BJJ.

A common issue with BJJ practitioners is tightness and its effect on their submission ability at first glance.

With that being said, today a viewer named Wes writes in and says:

“Hey Chewy, my hips are very inflexible. Do you have any suggestions on how to perform Triangle Chokes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with this problem?

This can be a very simple problem to fix if approached properly.

I’ll give you guys a few stretches to help improve your flexibility and some smaller details to help you finish your Triangle Choke.

Hopefully you found the ideas in this video useful.

Today’s question comes from Jack, a former high school Wrestler, who recently got into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

He’s getting into BJJ but feels like he’s having a lot of issues with the grips in the Gi. He was wondering if I had any particular Gi specific grip set ups for Wrestling Based takedowns.

This is a pretty common issue for former Wrestlers who transition into Gi Jiu-Jitsu, so it’s a great question to answer.

In this video I show you my favorite “Wrestling Style” takedown and set up that I use in the Gi. It also works well in No-Gi.

Hopefully if you’re a former Wrestler in BJJ, or anyone else looking to improve their takedowns in the Gi, then you found this video helpful.

Today we have a question from Derrick who feels really crummy about a recent situation at his BJJ Gym…

He is a 3-Stripe White Belt In Jiu-Jitsu, on top of being a bigger, so he tries his best to be as good of a training partner possible without hurting anyone, rolling soft in all his rounds.

Well, recently Derrick and his coach were rolling, and they ended up in the 50/50 Position and, out of nowhere, he injured his coach.

It was a complete accident and even the coach doesn’t blame Derrick.

Even though this is true Derrick still feels bad and doesn’t know what he should do to make up for the injury.

Well, I give Derrick a few pieces of advice, while also telling you a few stories about injuries I personally suffered in practices, and how I tend to deal with my own injuries when they happen in class.

Hopefully you find these ideas useful for you.

In today’s BJJ technique video I answer a question from Conrad who is getting in stuck in the gift wrap position.

If you’re not familiar, the gift wrap position is tough to deal with, and if you don’t know how to deal with it, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is going to be rough for you. The position usually happens after someone gives up an angle from the mount position and opens up tons of options for them.

So in the video I’ll show a simple way to escape the position by palming your face. Now the escape isn’t easy and you will be exposed to multiple submissions, but the escape will give you a fighting chance.

Hope the escape helps!

Today’s video comes from a BJJ coach who’s curious about how I tame my wild White Belts.

So in the video I give some ideas on how to integrate White Belts into full on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training, and how to do so while keeping things safe and not letting their “wildness” get out of hand.

I also discuss a few other ideas that I think sometimes get in the way when people are dealing with newer BJJ students (in regards to ego).

If you’re a coach of some sort and running BJJ classes then I hope the video helps you!

Today we have a question from Michael who’s having trouble maintaining Mount.

He says that when he’s rolling, he’s able to pass guard and get to mount, but when he gets to mount everyone just escapes immediately (even though he’s seen the highest level of Jiu-Jitsu Competitors do it well)…

He asks if there are any strategies or ideas that I’ve found useful in order to maintain Mount against skilled opponents in BJJ.

In this video I’ll show you a couple of things that were big game changers for me and my mount game in Jiu-Jitsu.

Hopefully you find the ideas in this video useful for yourself.

Today we have a question from “Bob” who sends a message to me saying that they’ve been practicing BJJ for 2.5 years, has competed several times, and has won his first round match every single time. Buth there’s an issue…

Every time Bob has competed, they have lost their second-round match.

They feel exhausted and worn out after every first-round match at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and can’t wrap their mind around WHY this keeps happening to them.

They say that they can roll all day in the practice room, but get extremely exhausted in actual competition.

Bob asks me how he can prevent this exhaustion and burn out from happening at tournaments.

Here’s what I think.

Today I got a question from someone who has been doing Japanese Jiu-Jitsu for 15 years, holds an instructor rank, and teaches that a bit. He has also been doing BJJ for well over a year.

He says he’s been in the BJJ gym for about 18 months and can hold his own against white belts, blue belts, and even stay alive against purple belts. He’s even placed at Blue Belt tournaments in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

His worry is that he has received no stripes on his white belt, even though he’s seen all the success listed above.

He wonders what I think and how he should talk to his BJJ coach about the subject of stripe and/or belt promotions.

If you’re having a similar situation, then I hope the video is helpful to you!

Today’s Q&A comes from Logan who wants to know how to roll hard with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Black Belts without being disrespectful. He says that when he rolls he gets a catch on a submission or sweep but then feels hamstrung to finish it because he doesn’t want to go too hard to finish it.

This is a good question! I used to deal with this same thing years ago where I wanted to go hard with my BJJ coaches but didn’t want to disrespect them.

And as a BJJ Black Belt who’s got a modicum of celebrity in the Jiu-jitsu space I can tell you that there are cases where we can train super hard and it’s a great rolling session. On the flip side, I’ve trained with people where I feel irritated and don’t want to roll with a person again.

I’ll explain the difference between the 2 in the video and I hope this helps you if you’re in a similar situation.

Thanks for watching.

Recently I got a question about whether you should drill 1 technique over and over again for thousands of reps or if you should do a sequence of techniques when it comes to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu

In this video I’ll share how I like to drill and I’ll also give the question asker some ideas to chew on regarding takedowns for BJJ using the cross collar grip in the gi.

If you’d like to go deeper into the ideas of the BJJ takedowns shown, use the links below.

Today’s BJJ rolling video is from a recent class I taught at the gym. We’re going through some fundamental stuff related to takedowns in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and then had open rolling.

During the rolls I was looking for some very specific things with my guard passes, my side control defense and my Shotgun Armbar submission.

If you’d like to learn more about the shotgun armbar I have a free series here on youtube:

or you can check out the course I have that deep into the whole idea of side control submissions with a main focus of attacking the arms.
https://www.chewjitsutraining.com/armsrace

Having focus during your BJJ rolls is important, so I encourage you to give yourself a technical aim the next time you step on the mats.

Thanks for watching the video.
