In today’s video I answer a question from a young guy about training BJJ after a tough breakup. I assume he’s asking because he’s struggling to deal with the negative feelings associated with a relationship ending.

I know this is not the normal Brazilian Jiu-jitsu video but I think it’s a worthwhile topic to discuss. Our relationships, or lack thereof, directly impact our headspace and ability to do things.

So in this video I share some ideas that have been helpful to me when dealing with a tough breakup. The main idea is use this as time to focus on yourself and own improvement. My hope is that it helps the young guy, and you if you’re struggling as well, with dealing with the negative emotions after a break up.

Thanks for watching and I hope the ideas in the video are useful!

Today’s question is from Santiago and his question is about adding Boxing into the mix with his BJJ training. But he has some questions about how to integrate them together. His main problem are time away from Brazilian Jiujitsu and he doesn’t want to get a concussion from Boxing training.

So in this video I share some information about how I worked Boxing into the mix during my days as an MMA fighter. This way you can see how a grappler could mix in striking based martial arts without getting hurt or suffering from excessive damage due to sparring.

If you’re thinking about adding in some Boxing or Kickboxing to your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training then I hope this video is useful to you.

Thanks for watching.

If you’re stuck at home doing workouts for any reason whether it’s a corona virus or just your garden variety injury then you can use the tips I share in this video to get more bang for your buck from the exercises you use. In addition, it’s a really solid tip to incorporate into your regular lifting. You can also use this tip with your BJJ solo drills.

It’s a very simple idea that I share in this video but it’s one that can make any simple exercises way more difficult.

That tip is simply do the reps slower and with control. Seems easy but when you slow a repetition down to 5, 10, or 15 seconds it becomes much more taxing on the muscles.

The beauty of doing this is that it increases time under tension, make the exercise more difficult and increase the mind body connection formed during the movement.

Hope this video is useful to you especially if you’re stuck at home unable to workout like normal.

I got a question from Operation Random on Youtube about coming back to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training after a 3 month lay off. They say that they’re nervous about returning to their BJJ gym and starting their grappling training over again.

In this video I share a recent story about one of the Black Belts and Purple Belts in my gym who just returned. I share this because layoffs and experiencing some nervousness or anxiety about getting back into Brazilian Jiujitsu is not just a White Belt thing.

When we first start something new there is fear of the unknown. Later on the fear comes from our own expectations.

But either way the fear is imagined and generally the reality of the situation is better than the imagined fear.

If you’re getting back into BJJ after a bit of a lay off I hope this video is helpful to you!

Thanks for watching the video.

In this video I talk about the idea of aggression in BJJ and how it translates off the mat as well. The video was inspired by numerous questions from viewers who say that they either 1. Have too much aggression or 2. Have too little aggression. Most of them speak in the context of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu but also comment on how this has translated over to their life off the mat.

Whether you’re too aggressive or not enough I believe Brazilian Jiujitsu training, as well as other combat sports, offers people a great chance to channel that warrior like energy. They can learn to release the pressure which many people say Jiu-jitsu does. But they can also learn to grow their ability to be firm and forceful should the situation call for it.

This ability to gain control over our mindset is one of the most useful parts of Bjj training.

If you’d like to read the blog article that I wrote which inspired this video use the link below.
Here’s the blog article: https://www.chewjitsu.net/2019/12/aggression-in-bjj-too-much-too-little/

Hope you enjoyed the video and if you have any thoughts on aggression in relation to your training or combat sports leave a comment.

Thanks for watching the video.

http://teachmegrappling.com This video was a piece of a tournament training session where I focused on getting the points for your position at a bare minimum. This is good for tournaments but also basic grappling in general or self defense. Check out the details and you are sure to find something useful! Enjoy! If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please comment below. More videos to come! Please like, share, and subscribe!!

In this video, I show some of my training session and how I train with one arm.

It has been a learning experience from knowing which positions I should try to implement and what to avoid during a training session.

It has been humbling but a great learning experience in developing my guard retention, mobility, and importance of control and position.

Thanks to my coach, Chewy, for getting some movement in with me during the roll and taking the time to teach and give me some advice during training!
