Every year before Halloween me and my gym do our annual Suit Rolling session. It originally started off in 2012 with a group of us wearing cheap suits from thrift stores into suits, costumes and whatever else. The session usually starts with some rolling and then ends with a free for all of people doing […]
In today’s video I show 1 Butterfly Guard sweep that will address several common counters to a butterfly guard in BJJ. Namely, bodylock passes and posts with the hand or the foot. If you’re someone that uses Butterfly Guard in Jiu-jitsu then this technique could be a great option for you. I know it’s 1 […]
Today’s video is a short clip with 1 of my BJJ White Belts after class. He had a question about 1 of the guard passing techniques we worked on in class. So I sat down with him and went over the position and technique with him. The passing technique is very simple. It’s basically an […]
Why do I smash my White Belt BJJ students? I got this question recently in response to 1 of my videos where I talked about smashing people from time to time. I read the question in the video and then answer it with my perspective as to why I smash my less experienced students and […]
In today’s BJJ Q&A video I answer a question from a young guy who’s struggling with aggression and anger in Jiu-jitsu. He says that whenever people are aggressive with him or rough during rolling, he tends to get angry, and it makes him overly aggressive. He says that once he’s in this mode, it’s not […]
In today’s video I answer a question from Josh who is an adult Green Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Now some of you may be a little confused since Green Belts in Jiu-jitsu are usually saved for teenagers and kids (which I’ll explain). But with that, he’s getting ready for a BJJ competition, and he wants […]
If you injure someone during Jiu-jitsu training, are you responsible? This is the heart of the question I answer in today’s BJJ Q&A video. The question was asked by several different people recently, so I wanted to touch on the topic. Injuries suck and it’s one of the downsides to training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. . . […]
To pre order your custom Chewjitsu Gi made by Origin in ‘Murica use the link: https://chewjitsu.myshopify.com/produ… In today’s video I share a funny story about how my partnership with Origin USA started. As I’ll explain, it was a strange experience with a Crossfit Coach at a certification. And if it wasn’t for that seemingly unfortunate […]
In today’s video I answer a question from a viewer who struggles with cardio in BJJ. He says that he’s training hard and doing all the stuff that you would normally do, but he can’t seem to improve his cardio on the mats. In this video I share a story about 1 of my best […]
Today’s Q&A comes from a BJJ Black Belt who feels homeless. Basically, he’s involved in a business partnership with his coach and is starting to surpass him during rolling. This would normally be seen as a good thing. A job well done by the coach. But our friend, Bob, says that it’s creating a toxic […]
