In this vlog I discuss – two BJJ lies that I really, really wish I had known were lies 10 years ago. They are myths, but like any myth that persists – there is an ounce of truth to them. But don’t be fooled by these lies, because I think it can slow your progress. Take a listen and let me know your thoughts…

The 2 main questions I answered in this video are:
Have I ever been in a Steet Fight? / Have I ever used my BJJ in a Street Fight?
What’s my opinion on the Belt Gauntlet in BJJ?
I rambled on pretty long about these two. But I found them interesting. I know that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu being used in street fight situations is always an interesting topic.
And the Gauntlet in Brazilian Jiujitsu is a bit controversial. Some people claim it’s brutal, barbaric, awful, etc etc. I tried to touch on my idea about it and share the reasons why I like it and why I continue to do it.
If you have thoughts on the gauntlet, list them below and share your ideas.
I hope you guys enjoyed this sort of random question video. It’s a different format that the typical ones. But hopefully it’s entertaining.
Thanks for watching!

One of the coolest things I ever heard a martial arts instructor say was “ask me any question you have. If I know the answer then I’ll tell you. If I don’t know the answer then we’ll find out together.”
The humility to admit that you don’t know everything is admirable. And people who’ll try to bullshit you about a position or a technique they know about is deplorable.
Bullshitting your students about stuff you know nothing about is leading them down the wrong path.
Your ego isn’t more important than their development.
If you’re done with learning you should be in the grave.

High School Wrestling causes a lot of the same competition anxiety that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournaments do.
Our buddy Walker who is involved in Wrestling and also loves Brazilian Jiujitsu is having trouble with the anxiety and nerves. So much so, that he is questioning whether or not he should continue to Wrestle the next 2 years in High School.
In this video I give some tips that I learned through my own experience in Wrestling in High School. It’s mainly one idea that concerns finding your reason why. Why are you doing the thing you want to do?
Finding my Why has helped me in BJJ, Wrestling, MMA and several situations in life.
This video is a little long. But I tried to really give you a sense as to who I was when I was younger and how much I’ve changed. And how really holding onto an idea and making it almost an obsession can really change you.
So whether you’re having trouble with nerves, anxiety and stress from BJJ, Wrestling or Mixed Martial Arts. The video is relevant and I hope it helps you conquer your nerves.
Thanks!
-Chewy

Despite the intensity in which we train in Jiu Jitsu and the amount of hours we spend rolling on the mat…BJJ remains one of the safest, if not the safest, of the martial arts for injury. But it still happens and the worst part? missing training! So, guys in this video, I talk about dealing with an injury in our sport. I hope you like it.

I understand why martial arts have belts, but focusing too much on belt rank is toxic. This video breaks down what you should focus on instead of getting all upset that someone else got promoted instead of you.
