I recently got a good question about how to develop the “If this, then that’ mentality and approach that many high level BJJ practitioners have with their styles. So, in the video I’ll give you some ideas to chew on about how to develop your own style and reach a relative level of competence or mastery with the positions or techniques in that style.

The ideas are very simple. But simple doesn’t mean they don’t work. After 23 years of grappling, it’s usually the simplest stuff that makes the biggest difference.

So hopefully if you have this kind of question for your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu then I hope this video is useful to you!

Thanks for watching.

Today’s video is a reply to a comment I received about rolling with people in BJJ who are working around injuries.

True story, some of my best BJJ techniques have come from relaxed rolling with injured training partners. Seems crazy right? In the video I share a great example from 2019 that helped me be a more effective grappler and even win a gold medal at a competition because of a specific grip I learned during an injured roll.

I also talk about why this is kind of a secret to training as a an older Black Belt.

Hopefully the idea I share in the video serves you well if you or 1 of your training partners is trying to train around a particular injury in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Chat with you next time.

Ever struggle with remembering Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques? If you’re like most of us, then I’m sure you have. Especially early on. And this is the main topic for today’s question that comes from Sarah who’s a White Belt and can’t seem to remember all the techniques from her BJJ Classes.

So, in the video I share some ideas on why not being able to retain each technique you learn is normal and why it’s not even necessary for being good at BJJ. Sure, overtime you’ll remember more and more of them. But it’s not like forgetting a couple of techniques you don’t use will break your ability to be a good BJJ practitioner. In particular I share a story from my high school wrestling days that illustrates why, and why I never got too worried when I didn’t remember each technique when I was coming up.

Hope the video is useful to you!

In today’s video I answer a question from a BJJ practitioner who said they’re telegraphing their techniques. If you’re unfamiliar with this term it basically means his partners and opponents see the techniques coming a mile away.

So in his message he’s curious about how to address this issue so that he can get back to successfully using his techniques in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

In the video I’ll share 3 things to consider when you run into a situation where your bread and butter techniques aren’t working anymore.

The 3 things that I bring up in the video to consider are. . .
1. Speed of execution

2. Confidence

3. Grips

I also share ways to build these up. And while I’m sure I missed some things that could be important, these 3 areas are a good starting point if you’re trying to increase the effectiveness with your techniques.

Today’s Q&A Chewy Ramble video I answer a question from a Purple Belt named Nick who’s moving into the role as an assistant coach. He says his game is focused on sweeping but he knows he needs to teach other things to his students so they can progress.

So his question to me is about how to teach moves you’re uncomfortable with as a new Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach.

In this video I give some ideas as to how I teach and how I taught as a new BJJ coach. How I show techniques I’m not the best with but how they’re still useful to the students. I also talk about the ideas and usefulness of having a rotating curriculum as well as some general philosophies on being a coach in Jiu-jitsu.

With the endless number of BJJ technique videos out there. How useful are they for your live training when you get to the gym? This is the question from Amir who wants to know how valuable videos are for his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

In this video I give some ideas to consider both from my experience as a coach teaching students and even from my experience as a student who used videos to improve (this one is a story about me as a BJJ White Belt watching videos to hit a slick armbar in training.)

All of this is to explain that BJJ videos (technique or otherwise) can help increase your overall BJJ IQ and help you learn inside your gym faster. Another idea I picked up from a great courses lecture is about how watching videos and even doing mental reps could help you do real physical reps better later on.

Anyways, hopefully the information in the video will give you some useful ideas to chew on for your own Brazilian Jiujitsu training.

Thanks for watching!

Old School submissions and defense . How to defense the kiimura at side control and how to setup a choke attack when your opponent block

BJJ Black Belt UFC Hall if Fame Stephan Bonnar show his triangle with Master Ricardo Cavalcanti direct from Las Vegss

In today’s video I’ll show you 5 BJJ side control positions and how I hold them and use them to setup other techniques. I think this will be helpful to anyone from White Belt to the advanced ranks. You’ll see that I prefer some positions for pinning while others work better for setting up submissions or transitioning to other positions.

In the video I show. . .
– Head and hip
– Head and arm control
– Kesa Gatame
– Reverse side control (without arm)
– Reverse side control (with arm)

These are certainly not all of the side control positions you can use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu but they do make of several of the most fundamental you’ll need. And in all honesty. These make up about 90% of the side control style positions I use as a Black Belt in both competitions and hard rolling.

So if you’re looking for some help with your side control then I hope the positions in this video are helpful to you.

Hope this video is helpful to you.

Probably one of the biggest questions all BJJ newcomers have when is, “What should I focus on?” And with all the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques out there it’s a good question. It can be overwhelming trying to decide on which specific techniques and positions to focus on.

But in this video I’m going to lay down a pretty good rule for you. This is something I’ve done since I was a BJJ White Belt and continue to do as a Black Belt. I also implement this idea into training my students with a lot of success.

So let’s jump into it.

When it comes to Jiu-jitsu. When you’re up against someone of similar skill, you’ll probably spend the bulk of your time passing guard and trying to sweep or submit from the bottom. Early on this will mostly be full guard or maybe half guard if you have short legs. Maybe you’ve never really thought about this before but I promise you if you think about it you’ll see this as accurate.

If you go watch any of my matches you’ll notice most are won this way. If I’m able to pass the guard I generally win. If I get the sweep I generally win.

This is true for most BJJ players. And the reason for this is positional control.

Most BJJ players live and die by the mantra “position before submission” and this is what it really boils down to when we are talking about guard passing. If the person can pass guard they control the position. If the person can retain their guard and use sweeps and submissions effectively, they control position.

Now there is still another whole battle to be fought once you’re in a dominant position. But winning the guard passing battle (on top or bottom) is what puts you in that dominant position first. So it is always a good place to focus on no matter what level you’re at.

Hope the talk is useful to you. Thanks for watching the video!
