Do you get hung on getting promoted as a BJJ White Belt? Do you see others get promoted but wonder why you weren’t picked?

I got this question recently. Our friend has been training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and is doing really well. He’s winning BJJ competitions and smashing people in training.

BUT!

He’s still a 1 stripe White Belt and isn’t sure what’s up. He says that he even gives the Blue Belts in his Brazilian Jiujitsu gym a good run for their money. But yet he is still passed up for training.

My answer in this video is a little more direct. And I speak from more of the vantage point of a coach.

And in this situation I would tell anyone to let go of promotions and fall in love with the grind of BJJ training. Fall in love with the day to day cool stuff that happens. Rather than being fixated on getting the next stripe or belt.

Because you don’t have control over that.

And most importantly. It will fail you in the long term. The acquirement of a belt isn’t as meaningful as you think. The most meaningful part about the belt is the journey that was required to reach it.

I look back at my belts and I don’t really remember the promotions that much. Instead I remember the training and all the work that went into it.

That’s what’s important.

Hope the video helps!
-Chewy

These stretches and exercises are some that I have used and found beneficial and effective for improving hip flexibility which can help with rubber guard and assists with guard retention.

The s mount might be my favorite mount position – why? because it is a real kill position. There are so many options for you from S-mount and none of them are good for your opponent. Check this video out. Try it on the mat and let me know how you go…

Initial thoughts on the Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support and Genutrain Knee Brace. These are two of the best knee braces for grappling. The feel, support, compression, and fit are important as these braces stay in place with grappling and don’t restrict movement.

This is a fantastic footlock that is still legal at whitebelt level in competition.

This is choke that I came across while messing around with my friend Spencer. This is still in an experimental phase, but I figured I would show it to you all and let you go to town on it. 🙂

It is setup from the top half guard, and looks like a cross between a Peruvian and Japanese neck tie. I show two setups, one from the cradle and one from the reverse Kimura. Let me know your thoughts and I am open to suggestions on a better name, lol!

UPDATE: I found out my friend and catch wrestling badass Neil Melanson has used this same choke before me and calls it the German Necktie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrWd5Y-in80). That name fits better, so I will stick with that.
