Excerpt from BJJ Scandinavia

Perhaps the name Cemîl Karahan does not ring a bell yet since he has not been competing for very long, but Cemîl has been reaching the top of the purple belt podium in recent European competitions including the Swedish open (Biggest tournament in Scandinavia) and the IBJJF Europeans (biggest competition in Europe and the world). Cemil is another of the many talents coming from the Swedish BJJ scene and in particular from Prana Jiu Jitsu academy headed by Kenta Hammarström. This BJJ competitor has a busy schedule with studies and job, as well as leading a social project for troubled kids is one of Stockholm’s neighborhood called Ur Dimman. We are sure you will hear more from Cemil has he sets to compete in major international tournaments this year!

What do you do when you feel like you’re not ready for your BJJ promotion?

This is the question I got from Matt who is a 50 year old Blue Belt and was recently informed that he would be up for his promotion to Purple Belt.

In most cases this would be a good thing. But as soon as Matt was informed about his potential promotion. He instantly began to have feelings of doubt in himself.

He says that he’s in pretty good shape. But being 50 years old is tough in BJJ. And he struggles rolling with the younger, stronger practitioners even if they’re less experienced.

In this video I go through and share the idea of imposter syndrome. Where we feel like we’re faking it or that we aren’t good enough. I also share how at every single belt I was promoted to I had the same feelings of inadequacy in relation to my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu abilities.

Jordan Peterson talks about this in his recent book that we are tyrants to ourselves. Someone else could make the same mistake as us. But since we made it, we’ve very hard and judgmental.

Nothing wrong with pushing yourself to be better. But at the same time there has to be a limit.

If you’re struggling with being your own worst critic. I hope the video helps!

Here are some of the best ways to get an armlock! I have personally used these techniques throughout my entire carrier. I hope that you can raise your submission rate after watching this video. If you find this video helpful please subscribe and leave a comment below.

Being a BJJ Blue Belt who can submit Purples , Browns and higher belts in the gym and competitions is a great thing right?

Yes, but it does come with some potential issues.

Recently I got a message from a young Blue Belt who is struggling when he visits other BJJ gyms while traveling.

This is because when he goes to these Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms he’s able to submit or outmaneuver many of the higher belts on the mat. Especially when in No Gi.

Again, this should be a good thing. But he finds that many of the people inside these gyms take offense to it.

They will get angry at him for beating them.

This isn’t right, and people shouldn’t take it so harshly. But it is what it is.

When dealing with people’s egos and the pecking order of their BJJ gym. People have a tendency to get up in arms and upset at times.

I’m better about this now. But I was guilty of this kind of stuff at one time in my life. So we can choose to point the finger if we want. But I don’t find that very helpful.

Instead, in this video, instead of condemning the people that our friend is rolling with. I try to give him some practical advice about feeling out the people he’s rolling with, before he kicks up the intensity.

I share this by touching on two separate situations. 1 was with my poor mindset as a young BJJ Blue Belt.

The second was how I approach going to gyms when I visit now.

Hopefully if you ever get into a situation like this in your own Brazilian Jiujitsu training this video will be helpful to you.

Thanks for watching!

I don’t even know what to say about the situation in this video. Our friend, T, sent in a message about a training session recently in his class. He said that while he was rolling with a young teenager. The teenager’s father screamed out “fuck him up” during the roll.

When I read this message my instant reaction was. . . no way . . . this didn’t happen. But I’ve received several messages similar to this through the videos.

I’ve also experienced a few situations where things like this have happened.

1 such situation was when I was at a BJJ tournament and a father told his son, “Don’t you fucking tap.”

It’s just disgusting. It really is. . . this is a disgusting situation that has no place in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

The weirdest thing about the situation that came from our friend’s question was that the father is a purple belt n BJJ. I find this so bizarre because most people who actually do Brazilian Jiujitsu know the struggle and understand how hard it is and in turn they are usually very supportive and encouraging rather than negative.

I also share what I think the White Belt who asked this question should do. I don’t know how helpful it will be to anyone. But maybe it’s informative in some way.

Thanks!

Are you a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu who feels better when they roll with a Higher Belt?

This is the question I received from Brianda who asked,
” I’ve been training for four months and I know I’m improving a lot (everybody tells me), but when I roll with white belts. Why do I feel like I can’t do anything? When I roll with higher belts everything goes better and I can practice all the movements and submissions I’ve learned, is it normal?

In this Chewy ramble video I discuss this common situation in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. When it boils down to it this is caused by a couple things.

A higher belt (Blue Belt, Purple Belt, Brown Belt, Black Belt) is in much better control of the roll and is much more relaxed. And oftentimes higher belts will play down a little bit during BJJ training to allow the newer students to move around and attempt their techniques a bit.

This relaxed state is usually fueled by the fact that the higher belt can finish the roll and gain the upper hand at any point.

In contrast you might roll worse against a White Belt. This is because a white belt does not have the security of being more advanced technically. So, instead they are fighting life and death when pitted against another beginner during a Brazilian Jiujitsu class.

The roll then takes on a much more aggressive nature and makes it more difficult to execute techniques.

I go into more detail in the video and share a few stories. But in short, yes this is a normal situation.

If you’re running into this as a BJJ White Belt. I hope the video is helpful!

Thanks!
-Chewy
