The Single Leg RDL (Romanian Dead Lift) is one of the most beneficial exercises for many reasons.

It can help with balance, posterior chain activation and strength, back and leg health, and helps with guard passing for BJJ.

In this video we look at a basic “X-Pass” which has many similar movements and components as the Single Leg RDL.

Although this exercise has many benefits, can be difficult to perform properly. I use a modified approach using a PVC pipe which has been extremely beneficial in training and teaching this movement.

This technique has also been a great benefit in improving my balance, base, and stability with standing guard passing in Jiu-Jitsu.

This modification to the “Threading The Needle” exercise has been a great way to perform a more dynamic movement to address multiple areas at once.

I have been able to use this movement to get a solid warm-up or cool-down for the shoulders as well as the mid back.

Can you get better at BJJ training only 2 days a week, or are you wasting your time?

This is a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu question I received from Instagram.

The person asking this question is training No Gi BJJ and has a ton of other interests. In general he’s just a fitness fanatic.

Because of all of these other things on his plate. He’s wondering if he’s wasting his time training 2 times a week of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

In this video I talk about how people mimic the extremes of BJJ like high level competitors. And it’s not in alignment for their goals.

BJJ competitions and grappling competitors are fascinating. And their performances inspire us.

And in turn, we enjoy emulating this style of training. Regardless of whether or not we intend to follow that same path.

And in the the case of the person who asked the question. He has a ton of other goals and interests. So it only makes sense that he would not be as invested into BJJ.

And I try to explain why training twice a week is not a waste of time and how it can even be beneficial for your training because it can create better focus.

If you’re in this situation with you’re training. I hope this video is helpful! Thanks for watching.

And don’t let competitions and the excitement of it shame you or make you feel guilty.
-Chewy

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

This little maneuver is a cheeky choke when you are in someone’s closed guard. Now of course, everyone says you should never attempt a choke when in someone’s guard. And to the most part that is 100% correct. But this works. It’s quick, fast and effective. Try it on the mat and let me know how you go…

This is a little trick – taught to me by Prof Carlos Machado – to help escape side control. It’s simple, it’s effective and it REALLY works. Try this out on the mat and let me know how you go. Most people obtain substantial gains from this little move.
