Knee on Belly Escape to Heel Hook & Rolling Class (Situational Rolling)

March 17, 2023/in BJJ, Defenses Escapes Counters, Submissions, Sweeps, Tips /by Jack C

In today’s class and rolling video you’ll get a chance to see me and my guys working on a Knee on Belly escape to backside 50/50 and then some rolling afterwards.

I got class started and then let one of our Black Belts in the gym (Evan) take over with some details on the leg locks since he’s a stronger leg locker than me.

Afterwards we had some situational rolling including some rounds of guard passing battles and dominant position. I even had a super nice Black Belt (tough roll too) from Idaho drop in for class followed by me working rounds with some of my tough young students.

Enjoy the video and thanks for watching.

Getting Submitted by my Younger BJJ Students & Knee on Belly Drills

February 23, 2023/in BJJ, Submissions, Sweeps, Tips, Training /by Jack C

The other day I posted a BJJ video about being an older BJJ Black Belt. I know some of you said it’s only because of a belt. And that’s an easy scapegoat, but that’s not it.

Old champions and masters in other combat sports feel the similar things. I’ve spoken to champions in wrestling and kickboxing who got older and struggled with the realization that they weren’t what they used to be.

That said, I talked about it. And in today’s BJJ drilling and rolling video here’s a great example of me going through it. The video is from a training session from a few weeks ago when I was coming back from Costa Rica. You’ll see some knee on belly drills first followed by rolling. During the rolling I got subbed by a couple of my students and became the “nail” instead of the hammer. This is something I talk about in videos, but maybe it’ll be useful for you to see it too.

So enjoy the drills and enjoy watching the Chewster be the nail instead of the hammer.

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!

Easily Stop Darce & Guillotine Chokes from Half Guard Bottom in BJJ

June 20, 2022/in BJJ, Defenses Escapes Counters, Submissions, Sweeps /by Jack C

Do you get submitted with Darce or Guillotine chokes when you try to use Half Guard Sweeps in BJJ?If that’s the case then this video could be helpful to you.

As a half guard player in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I used to struggle with getting choked from the position. People would dive on my neck and catch the submission. But over the years I’ve found some simple ways to counter their attempts and still maintain good position to get my sweeps.

With that said, the idea in the video is simple. I’ll show you how to prioritize your submission defense and your sweep attempts. I’ll also show you some simple hand fighting ideas that will make it way harder to submit you with a darce or a guillotine choke.

Hope the ideas prove useful to you as a half guard player in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Also, if you’d like to give your half guard sweeps a boost. I go into more detail specifically for half guard sweeps in my half guard sweeper series. Click the link below to learn more. https://www.chewjitsu.net/sweeper

Take More Backs in BJJ with 2 Effective Techniques If They Turtle Up

May 13, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Guard Passes, Sweeps, Tips, Training /by Jack C

In today’s basic White Belt BJJ techniques, I use as a Black Belt I’m going to show you 2 of my best back takes that work off a guard passing situation. Taking the back off of a guard pass when the person turtles up is one of my most successful ways to secure back mount in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

The back takes are simple and can be used as shown or combined together with other Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques. I’ve hit both of these techniques at grappling competitions like the No Gi Pans, Pans , ADCC trials and others.

Guillotine to Triangle Choke Combo from Full Guard

May 9, 2022/in BJJ, Submissions, Sweeps, Tips, Training /by Jack C

Today’s BJJ technique idea is a simple Kimura / Kimura Sweep to Guillotine to Triangle Choke from a full guard position.

I like to use the kimura or bump sweep in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to setup techniques because it’s a powerful tool to knock people off balance for a moment. And while they’re off balance you have essentially put yourself a step ahead of them. This makes it easier to setup the submissions you’re after.

So, if you like closed guard, guillotine chokes and triangle chokes then I hope this technique serves you well on the mats.

Thanks for watching.

7 Butterfly Guard Sweeps to Build an Effective Sweeping Game

March 23, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Guard Passes, Sweeps /by Jack C

Today’s video is set of 7 Butterfly Guard sweeps we’ve been drilling in my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes (as of the time of posting this).

They’re very basic techniques. But I’ve found if you combine them together seamlessly, they’re difficult to stop. There are variations of how each move is used but these are some of mine. Hopefully they’re helpful to you with your BJJ training and drilling ideas.

In the video you’ll see . . .

– Over Under Sweep

– Double Overhook Sweep

– Coming Up To 1 Knee to Force the Person To Engage

– Failes Over Under to Double Over

– Coming Up for an Ankle Pick

– Armdrag to Back Mount

– Using a Straight Armlock as a Sweep

Thanks for watching the video!

How To Use Lockdown to Escape a Tight Half Guard Smasher in BJJ

February 25, 2022/in BJJ, Defenses Escapes Counters, Sweeps /by Jack C

If you’ve played Half Guard long enough then I’m sure you’ve experienced the situation where you get smashed by the person on top squeezing you. It happens to all of us.

Well, in today’s BJJ technique video I’m going to show you how to escape a tight half guard position and get unstuck by using the Lockdown position (most commonly known from 10th Planet) to get the person off balance.

I’m also sharing this position in part because I know a lot of beginners in BJJ (White and Blue Belts) find themselves in this position naturally and don’t know how to use it.

Hopefully the off-balancing technique is useful to you and helps you be more effective from Half Guard with your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Thanks for watching the video.

-Chewy
