This is an older piece of footage of me and my buddy Nick Albin aka Chewjitsu or Chewy. He has hands down the best Jiu Jitsu channel on YouTube.
This was filmed well over a year ago now at his Jiu Jitsu academy in Louisville called Derby City Martial Arts.
Obviously Chewy is a much bigger and stronger and younger guy than me (not to mention that he still actively competes), so he’s not trying to murder me here which I really do appreciate!
I know a lot of you ask for rounds of me rolling with black belts all the time, but it’s actually kinda hard to find black belts that don’t mind having rolling footage available. So here’s an opportunity to do that, with Chewy’s permission of course. 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Black Belt vs Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt
I’m really lucky to have built some great friendships over the years through Jiu Jitsu and travelling and I really do think Chewy is just the cream of the crop. He’s a great guy, with very good technique and he’s a winner in all aspects of his life; business, Jiu Jitsu, and personal.
Hope you guys enjoy, and be sure to check out my free course on how to stop getting smashed on bottom position here: https://bmac.mykajabi.com/stopgettingcrushed

Recently I got a question regarding Sport BJJ and Self-Defense. The question was from someone who doesn’t train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu yet. And they said that they didn’t understand why you practice a sport BJJ style technique for an art that prides itself on self-defense.
In this video I share some ideas on why people in Jiu-jitsu practice sport style techniques even though it may not be the best option for self-defense.
I also share why in a lot of cases what keeps people training is not the self-defense techniques but rather the connection to people formed through the sport training.
Again, this is my opinion and experience. If you’ve been training for a long time you’re more than welcome to share yours in the comments below.

In today’s video I share a powerful armbar that I’ve been using during BJJ training for the last 6-7 months. The armlock is also super sneaky because it doesn’t use the normal grips of most armbars in Jiu-jitsu. I also show some details on how to hide your grips a bit. Again, the purpose is to use different grips that the person is unfamiliar with so they don’t feel it coming. . . until it’s too late.
In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I call this idea “flying under the radar” and use it whenever I can. You can breathe new life into BJJ techniques simply by changing the grips you use to set it up.
This will be the 1st video to start an ongoing armlock series from side control that you follow on the channel. This is one of the areas I’ve been working on personally so I figured I’d share some of the things that have been working for me.

Hope the technique and ideas are useful to you.
Thanks for watching.

Today’s Q&A Chewy Ramble video I answer a question from a Purple Belt named Nick who’s moving into the role as an assistant coach. He says his game is focused on sweeping but he knows he needs to teach other things to his students so they can progress.
So his question to me is about how to teach moves you’re uncomfortable with as a new Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach.
In this video I give some ideas as to how I teach and how I taught as a new BJJ coach. How I show techniques I’m not the best with but how they’re still useful to the students. I also talk about the ideas and usefulness of having a rotating curriculum as well as some general philosophies on being a coach in Jiu-jitsu.

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Brandon Mccaghren demonstrates The Stomp, which helps to make the transition from the Lockdwon half guard to the Butterfly Guard. Very reminiscent of the sweeping style of butterfly guard you see from Jean Jacques Machado.

If you’re forced to roll with higher belts in BJJ, will it hinder your progress? This is the question today from a White Belt who’s recently been placed into a higher level Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class.
Here’s what happened. His BJJ coach divided the training groups up due to covid concerns. He had the White Belts go to 1 class time. And then the colored belts (Blue, Purple, Brown, Black) to another. Well our friend was the lone White Belt who got plugged into the higher belt class.
So his question is about whether or not this situation will hinder his Jiu-jitsu training.
In this video I share some perspectives from my own experience in the hopes that they’ll be useful to anyone in a similar situation.
I hope the video is useful to you!
Thanks for watching.
