How can a BJJ hobbyist who competes somewhat often prepare for a professional grappler? This is the basic question I received from a viewer who is a competitor in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is but is still by all means a “hobbyist.” Meaning he has a job off the mats and can only devote 3 days a week or so to training.
This is opposed to a professional who might do BJJ all the time and competes often.
So in this video I give a mindset that could be useful to you if you ever find yourself in a situation where, on paper, you’re supposed to lose or are seemingly outmatched. This kind of situation could spook you at 1st. But I’m going to explain why it could make your BJJ even better by opening up a new mindset in you.

Today’s BJJ video comes from a situation I was talking about with 1 of my students recently. It’s a simple idea of making what I call a “tactical retreat” to a lesser position. In the video I explain this idea and how many BJJ White Belts or lower belts (although some higher belts do it too), try and hang onto a dominant position too long. Even after the main points of control have been lost.
This leads to a situation where the opponent is then able to potentially gain the upper hand. I personally made this mistake a ton early on in my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training and competitions.
So, in the video I’ll show some general ideas on this strategy from mount, back mount and side control.
Hopefully it’s useful to you!

World NoGi history! Who remembers this awesome back and forth open class semifinal match between Gordon Ryan and Patrick Gaudio from the 2018 World NoGi? Gordon would win and go on to take home double gold. There’s going to be some more history to be made at this years event. Who’s it going to be this time?

In today’s video I share an idea about the 2 BJJ belts that seem to cause imposter syndrome and anxiety more than any other belts. You may disagree with this, but from my almost 20 years of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and speaking with thousands of people online it’s what seems to be the truth.
I share this because one of our viewers was recently promoted to Purple Belt and says she is experiencing imposter syndrome and a bunch of anxiety.
So in the video I share how I’ve dealt with imposter syndrome in the past with both Purple Belt and Black Belt and give some ideas on how to deal with it.
Hope the video is useful to you if you find yourself in the same situation.

Today’s question comes from a BJJ practitioner who’s been involved with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for over 15 years. He asks if my game ever feels like trash. Meaning, do I have days where I feel off and even like I’m getting worse.
The 2nd part of the question concerns a basic BJJ technique that everyone knows but yet this Brown Belt struggles using during rolling.
So in the video I answer his questions and share a story of how I struggled using a very simple sweep that everyone learns early on in BJJ as a Black Belt. I also share how I improved in this weak area of my Jiu-jitsu game and how you can do the same with a simple idea on mental framing and preparation.

Today’s BJJ technique video is with my student and 3X NAIA national champ in wrestling, Brandon. In the video shows a beautiful takedown setup you can use in wrestling or Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It’s also crazy simple. The trick is that you’re going to have to drill it because it requires good timing.
What I like about this setup for BJJ is that it’s perfect for countering some of those pushing and collar tie exchanges that happen in BJJ where someone ties up but never shoots.
I’m currently drilling this setup and adding it into the mix and I hope the technique finds it’s way into your game too.
To see more videos of Brandon, check him out at:

Thanks for watching the video!

Today’s video is about how I got my nickname Chewy in BJJ. In the video I’ll share how I actually got the nickname because I elbowed someone in the mouth during my spazzy days as a White Belt.
Not a whole lot to learn from in this video necessarily. But I hope you find it at least a bit entertaining.
As always thanks for watching.
