An Effective Butterfly Guard Sweep Against Tight Guard Passers

October 18, 2022/in BJJ, Guard Passes, Sweeps, Training /by Jack C

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 of my go to sweeps with the position because it eliminates several options for the top person can use for defense. Thanks for watching and hope the video helps!

Effective Over Under Guard Pass Setup VS Butterfly Guard in BJJ

October 17, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Guard Passes, Tips, Training /by Jack C

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 entry into the over under pass vs a butterfly guard. I do this a lot to off balance the bottom person and setup several of my guard passing attacks.

If over under passes are your thing or you struggle passing a butterfly guard, then I hope this technique is useful to you.

Hope the video helps.

Why BJJ White Belts Need to be Smashed

October 13, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Training /by Jack C

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 why it’s very helpful to them long term.

I compare the experience with my new experiences of horse riding which share a lot of similarities to my days as a BJJ White Belt.

Hope the video gives more perspective to the ideas.

Gordon Ryan’s Unshakeable Trait You Want for Your BJJ Game

October 10, 2022/in BJJ, Training /by Jack C

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 a good thing. His technique gets sloppy and so he wants to stop it from negatively affecting his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

So he sends the message to me to ask if I or any of my students have ever had this problem. And if so, what can he do about it?

The answer is of course yes, it’s happened to me and plenty of my students. And if it’s something that’s happened to you then I hope this video gives you some useful ideas on how to stop the issue.

As always thanks for watching.

WTF is an Adult Green Belt in BJJ ?

October 6, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Competition, Inspiration, Training /by Jack C

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 to know what to compete since there are no adult Green Belt divisions.

So in this video I share some ideas from my own experience as a former adult Green Belt back in 2004 when I was a newer student in BJJ.

I also tell a story about a stinky white belt. Not a person white belt. . . my actual belt.

Enjoy the video and thanks for watching.

Just Injured a Training Partner (Am I Responsible for Medical Bills?)

September 26, 2022/in BJJ, Recovery, Training /by Jack C

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. . . or any sport really. But at the same time, even if you don’t train you’ll probably experience some injuries and wear and tear on the body regardless.

But either way, in today’s BJJ video I’ll give you some ideas to chew on regarding injuries in the gym and if you’re responsible for your training partner who was hurt during an accidental situation.

Hope the video helps.

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 experience, I probably wouldn’t have started my partnership with Origin when I did.

Also, just a reminder to anyone who orders 1 of these Origin gis, you’ll also get the following bonuses:

– A physical chewjitsu journal (with shipping it’s usually just shy of $20)

– Access to my Get a Grip Series (I’ve sold this for as much as $47)

– Access to a gi and no gi seminar I did back in 2019. (Cost $80 to attend)

– And I may be adding some more stuff, not sure yet.

To get the gi plus the $147 worth of bonuses, be sure to get your pre-order in before Friday 9/23/22.

And even if you don’t get a gi, I hope you enjoyed the video.

Chat with you next time.

Story of 2 White Belts, Same Training Schedule (1 Had Terrible Cardio)

September 16, 2022/in Uncategorized /by Jack C

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 friends who started Brazilian Jiu-jitsu with me back in 2003. For several years we basically ate, slept and trained together all the time. Our schedules were nearly identical. But for whatever reason his cardio never improved as fast as mine.

I share why this happened in the video. Now, disclaimer, this may not be the reason for someone else, but it’s worth checking out in case you’re having similar issues as the person asking the question in the video.

Thanks for watching. Chat with you next time.
