In today’s video I answer a question from a young BJJ Blue Belt who’s been winning a bunch of competitions and is obsessed with the goal of getting his BJJ White Belt in 1 year. Currently he’s been training about 10 months.

Now he wants to know ideas t impress his coach which I’m not going to do since I guarantee his coach is probably impressed by his performance in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Instead I try to share some ideas on finding meaning in between the goals he’s chasing.

I do this because I had the same tireless drive towards goals when I was younger and trying to impress my coaches and teammates. And while it can produce good results it can also produce a ton of frustration because you never stop to realize what you’ve accomplished because you’re always after the next goal.

I explain the idea in more depth in the video. Hopefully the video is useful to you.

Today’s video will show you some simple techniques to make your armbars safer and more effective as a BJJ White Belt.

The video comes from a question I got from a White Belt who’s afraid of falling off too fast with armbars from top position becuase he doesn’t want to injure his training partners or lose the submission.

So in this video I’ll show you how to use the arm you’re not attacking (when using an armbar from top) to anchor yourself to their body and slow the armbar down. This will also help weaken many of the common grips used to defend armbars.

If you’re struggling with armbars then I hope the video helps!

In this video, I go through the idea of a “Jiu-Jitsu Hobbyist” and a “Jiu-Jitsu Professional” and what is the difference between the two.

As the martial art and sport has evolved, there are definitely a few unique distinctions and differences between these groups.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

I just starting working with a new student, and we are building him from the ground up. He has no martial arts experience previous to this training, although he is an incredible athlete already.

So, I’m going to be teaching him like I would any new student that wants to learn Mixed Martial Arts. So if you have been looking for a good place to start learning MMA in a step-by-step format, this is the way. 🙂

Keep in mind that a beginner will not be able to master or even execute every part of a technique properly. As I like to say, the statue of David wasn’t carved from marble in one day. So to expect a student to be perfect on day one is not only foolish, but can be detrimental to their progress.

Instead, we just need the student to be able to get the big picture and see the forest for the forest. As time goes on, we will get them to see the trees, then the branches, leaves, wood grain, knots, and all the different critters that reside in those forests.

With that said, the very first thing we cover is the basic fighting stance and footwork.

Today’s video comes from a 6 month BJJ White Belt who’s also a Judo Brown Belt. He’s loving his beginning in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and has plenty to work on with the ground game.

He recently had an experience where he was called a sandbagger by someone at another gym during an open mat. I’ll get into details about it in the video.

But his main question is about whether or not he should divulge details about his previous Judo experience to people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu when he travels to other schools. He’s been reluctant to do this because he doesn’t want to come across as cocky or that he’s some Judo phenom.

In the video I’ll share 2 examples of students I’ve had who were White Belts in BJJ but had extensive background in Wrestling and Judo and how things went.

Thanks for watching the video.
-Chewy

P.S Here’s the video I mentioned earlier about the Black Belt dressed as a White Belt prank:

In today’s video I answer a question from a new BJJ White Belt who’s struggling to find the balance with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and all of the other activities he does.

He says that he’s already a physically active person who does lots of other activities. And this combined with BJJ is leading to a lot of soreness, fatigue and some injuries.

In the video I’ll share some ideas on abandoning the idea of balance for periods of time in your life. I’ll share how I’ve done it in the past with various physical activities and projects.
