Ever heard the saying “sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail”? Well in this BJJ rolling video you’ll see me be 100% nail. Granted it was to be expected since I was rolling with 2X ADCC champion Jt Torres. It’s still another thing entirely to “feel” it.

During the no gi BJJ training we got started relatively slow with the rolling and then began to speed it up a bit. By the end of the rolling (which lasted about 30 minutes) we had a pretty good sweat going.

During the video you’ll see Jt Torres outwork me with his position and technique. I mean he’s in great shape for sure. But his positioning and technique were truly incredible. I was never able to put myself into a strong attacking position which put me on the defensive constantly.

I could have not posted this video but I think it’s important for transparency. Many of you follow me and look to me for answers to your Brazilian Jiujitsu questions. And I’m happy to share my ideas with you. But always remember that I’m on the same path you are. I’m trying to improve and be the best I can be. And sometimes I do great and other times I get mauled, like in this video. But I’ll keep going and doing my best to improve. And so should you!

Hope you enjoyed the video!
-Chewy

I recently got to hook up for training and learning from my good friend, hilarious comedian and Marcelo Garcia brown belt, Jamie Kilstein. I asked him if he would shoot a self-defense technique video with me, thinking he would just show a technique. This is what he came out with, and I loved it, because he goes into mindset and philosophy behind training, in addition to showing a great technical consideration. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Thank you all so much for watching 🙏

Today’s No Gi rolling video has a ton of great exchanges. Everything from Back Mount counters to leg locks to defending my guard against some big dudes! My favorite roll from this week’s rolling video is against my Brown Belt Rob who is 240lbs and moves like he is small guy at times and was shutting down my Butterfly Guard game with his hop overs and quick guard passing. It really is a fun exchange to watch.

I ended up bailing on the Butterfly and did a weird slide by to get around to the back. In case you’re wondering I finished the roll with a wrist lock.

Hope you guys enjoyed the video!
-Chewy

Huge thanks to @consciouskeelan and @keithkavanagh with 10th Planet Decatur for the amazing videowork on this one. And of course to 10th Planet Huntsville for allowing us to film it there after the seminar.
•
Drew Weatherhead, in addition to being one of the funniest people I know as seen by his famous Instagram @because_jitsu, is also an amazing jiu-jitsu practitioner and teacher. His work on the reverse kimura as a position with many submission opportunities is groundbreaking. Also, we may be related. It’s a long story and it’s weird since he is Canadian and I live in Kentucky. That’s all beside the point, though. Watch this video and then check out his course and my course. You won’t be disappointed in either.
