The number one request I get is “please share more rolling footage.”
So here ya go!
Rolling no gi in the gym with one of my favorite training partners, Dennis, He’s one of our blue belts and he also wrestled in college.

I have a free Half Guard course and I think you need to get it right now. The no gi half guard game, particularly the Lockdown, can be way different. Go here right away to shortcut your learning curve:

In today’s BJJ technique video I share an idea on passing flexible people with the double under pass. The question comes from Rob who is struggling to finish the pass during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

I give two different options for using the double under pass (sometimes called the double stack pass) on flexible guard players who are able to bend backwards without much issue. The pass starts off in the most basic way that many of you have probably learned and practiced since you were a White Belt.

The 1st one is an option I used successfully recently in competition. The 2nd option is one that changes the pressure up higher on the shoulders and the neck which negates the flexible muscles in their back and hips.

If you’re trying to use this pass in BJJ then I hope it’s helpful to you.

BJJ Question from Adolfo. Here’s what he asks. . .
==========
Chewy, sometimes online I hear Black Belts suggest, “Train with intention” what exactly does that mean to you? I’m never really clear what that means.
==========
When you hear a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Black Belt say train with intention it’s very simple. It just means stepping onto the mat with a purpose or focused on something.

Oh and for the record, 9 out 10 Black Belts will probably agree that it’s a damn good suggestion. The 1 that doesn’t is probably McDojo. Now the intention could mean a ton of different things. . .

Your intention could be to hit the new technique you’ve been working on or to avoid getting smashed from a position you struggle with. Your intention could be to not get frustrated while your stuck in an uncomfortable spot during a roll.

Heck, it could even be to make sure you roll with the tough guy that you avoid during rolling because you’re scared of losing.

Just depends on what you’re focused on at the time.

For me, when I roll with a focus on a specific technique, my intention always starts with grips. I ask myself, “what do I need to make this technique work?” and I work for those specific grips.

And whether I’m competing or rolling I’m hyper focused on getting the grips I need. Because if I get the grips, I get the techniques. That’s the way it works.

I mean, when you breakdown BJJ to a granular level, it’s all about the grips and body positioning. Every technique begins with grab this and this. It’s the reason a person that controls grips wins the roll or match.

This is why I put together a course all about grip fighting. #1 to give you specific techniques to break and dominate grips. But just as importantly to get you to adopt the mindset of a grip fighter.

A grip fighter is someone who doesn’t accept someone’s grips and fights for their own. Just this mindset can give you a skill boost to any position.

And if you’d like to give your grip fighting skillz a boost then grab onto the link below and check out my Get a Grip course.

To wrap this one up to.

Set an intention for your next training session. And if you can’t train BJJ right now then set an intention on your next lift, run or whatever you’re doing to stay in shape.

Talk to you next time.

Recently one of my newer White Belts competed in a BJJ competition. And while he was competing he made a few blunders with his guard pulling. Par for the course when it comes to a newer competitor trying to hit a technique in the intensity of sport Jiu-Jitsu. What was funny though is as he won the match the people on the other team criticized his techniques because “it wouldn’t work on the streets.”

And this my friend is one of the most annoying things I hear people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu say about others who are competing in sport Jiu-Jitsu. Because of course, many sports moves won’t work in a self-defense situation or fight. That’s a given. But during a competition we aren’t in a street fight, we are involved in a sport Jiu-jitsu match.

I share my own ideas about the whole self-defense vs sport Jiu-Jitsu thing but I’d love to hear some of the things you hear said about Brazilian Jiujitsu (whether from other BJJ players or other martial arts).

So leave a comment with something people say about BJJ that make you just roll your eyes.

Leave your comments down below and I’ll chime in and chat with you.

Today’s no gi BJJ rolling video comes from when Chad came to the gym the last time. During the rolls you’ll see my Black Belt Chad hit a nice mixture of leg locks, guard passing and back attacks. A lot of the guys were excited to roll with him since it’s been a while since he was at the gym last.

Something I always find interesting is how long Chad and I trained together (since he was a kid) and how different out Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu styles are. Maybe this is because of body type or maybe mindset. Either way we have 2 very different Jiu-jitsu styles.

At the end Chad and I roll (5:17 in the video). Spartan (the guy who edits the videos) decided to change the music and it made it seem like the boss fight at the end of a video game. Either way we basically roll to a stale mate until the very end. I couldn’t pass, he couldn’t catch me from the bottom and we both had a couple of “almost-but-not-quites.” If you were watching the video and wondered why it stopped after he was securing the Back Mount it’s because time ran out.

Hope the BJJ rolling video was entertaining and maybe gave you a few things to think about for your own training.

See you on the channel next time.

P.S I’ll be doing breakdowns of these rolls inside my Chewjitsu Vault: http://chewjitsu.net/vault and I may include one in the Youtube membership that you can check out for .99.

Andy Murasaki PAN 2020 Double Gold Thanking His Coach Andre Galvao.

“Gi jiu-jitsu is alive and well thanks to the continuous stream of exciting talent arriving in the sport with each passing year. One of those mega talents with a fun, crowd-pleasing game is Andy Murasaki, a student of André Galvão.

Originally from Japan, Murasaki spent most of his childhood in Brazil, moving to the USA during his mid-teens. This mishmash of lifestyles has translated into Andy’s game in a similar way, with the Atos new black belt working well in all areas of the jiu-jitsu game. The rising star can work from the bottom, can “bolo”, can smash-pass, can blitz pass, can take you down, can play gi, and is now also breaking through in no-gi. A great talent we are happy to be following closely in 2021.” Article by www.bjjheroes.com

“Andre Galvao is one of the greatest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes of all time, with 6 IBJJF World Championship titles, 10 IBJJF Pan American Championships, and 6 ADCC World Championship titles (4x as the ADCC Super Fight Champion). He received his black belt from Luis “Careca” Dagmar, having also worked extensively with Fernando Terere. Galvão is also a former mixed martial artist, with an MMA record of 5-2-0 before he retired to lead the Atos Jiu-Jitsu Academy’s Headquarters in San Diego, California. Today, Atos is considered one of the best jiu-jitsu academies in the world, producing World Champion athletes at all levels, from juvenile and white belt all the way to black belt.

Galvao’s mission is to share the lessons, techniques, and experience he has acquired over his 20+ years of experience as a BJJ practitioner, professor, and world-class coach & competitor.

Today’s Q&A comes from Victor who is a self-proclaimed mediocre Blue Belt and when he comes into his morning training sessions (which is when he trains), the mats are full of tough Purple Belts and up.

He says that because everyone is so tough he doesn’t get much success while training and he is finding he is getting discouraged with his training and has even thought about quitting.

He asks how to stay motivated in a situation like this where full on success is unlikely.

In the video I share some ideas on staying in the loop when you’re not able to “win” the matches which starts with redefining what success and winning looks like.

If you’re in a similar situation as Victor then I hope this video is useful.
