Would you like to add more pressure with your BJJ game. Maybe Side Control or Mount positions? Perhaps you’d like the ability to make your submissions a little stronger?
In this video I share some simple tips I give to my White Belts that you can incorporate with your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training to add more strength and power to these positions.
In the video I talk about how often, at least early on, people become focused on one part of their body in absence of the other.
So if someone is in side control they SQUEEZE with the arms but the rest of the body is not doing much. If someone goes for an Armbar they may begin focusing on just a pull of the arms instead of a whole body extension against their opponent.
During the video I share a couple of examples of how you could add more pressure and tightness. These are tips I share with my BJJ White Belts all the time and they’re helpful for them with their training and rolling.
So if you’re having trouble keeping pressure in positions or maybe you just want to add more to your Brazilian Jiujitsu game. Then I hope this video is helpful.

Can BJJ help depression? This is the question from our friend Alexander today.
I assume he is depressed and wondering if Brazilian Jiu-jitsu would be helpful in combating the mental illness.
In this video I share two books, and some of my own experiences.
Here are the two books I reference and the links to them. Heads up these are affiliate links. So if you buy from them it gives me a kickback. This costs you nothing. I just wanted to be upfront.
Spark: https://amzn.to/2YzOn5w
Go Wild: https://amzn.to/2QhNj3h
Most of us feel amazing after a bout of exercise. Maybe tired, but good over all. And in the video I share 1 of the reasons why scientists theorize why we feel so good after exercise.
Besides referencing books I also share some stories from experience with myself and my students about how Brazilian Jiujitsu has been useful with treating their depression.
All in all I do think that BJJ training could be useful for depression. Obviously it’s no substitute for medication or a doctors guidance. But from what I’ve seen from my friends and students. It can be helpful.
Let me add a big line of caution. If you have any questions about treatment for depression and medications. Please contact a doctor for more guidance.

If you want a timeline on the day of this video it looks like this.
6am: Wake, meditation , bike ride then breakfast
7:30am-10:30am: Work related to back end processes of our businesses.
11am – 12:30: Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.
1pm – 4pm: Meetings and business work.
5:15pm: Quick lifting session
6pm – 7:15: Brazilian Jiujitsu training
8pm: Filming Chewjitsu Q&A videos

Today’s video is a little different than the typical Chewy Q&A or technique video.
A while ago I was asked from several people on instagram about a day in the life video. So I figured we would do these daily vlogs from time to time.
In today’s video I take you guys along one of my boring ole Mondays haha.
Mondays are my usually my day of the week where I am doing meetings and a lot of boring stuff. They’re a pretty busy day but there is some BJJ training squeezed in there.
Hopefully you enjoyed the video and if you’d like to see more, please leave a comment below.

Are you a gym owner and want to ask Chewy or Joe a gym business related question? Please leave the questions below.
Recently I’ve been getting a ton of gym business related questions from BJJ coaches. But also from people running other niche gyms.
And I figured I’d do some videos on the topics from time to time.
But at the same time I wanted to introduce you to my business partner Joe.
In our business he covers many of my gaps and does things that I am terrible with and vice versa. We work together as a team on our gym to make it an awesome place to train.
We’re a nearly 9000 sq ft facility with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, Weight lifting and more.
And the gym is packed everyday.
It wasn’t always this way and we’ve learned a lot of stuff over the years that we hope to share with you.
If you’re a gym owner or maybe want to be but have a question. Leave it in the comments or send it to me privately and Joe and I will answer it sometime in the future.

As part of my BJJ seminar experiences I like to offer more than just a technique demonstration and then leave.
So during my time in Florida. Sonny and I setup a seminar experience that lasted 2 days.
This video is a Vlog showing some parts of Day 1.
Day 1 which is shown in this video consisted of a big open rolling session followed by Q&A.
Then on day 2 we did a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu seminar with techniques and all that normal stuff. Following the seminar we had a dinner together. It was a great time.
In this video you’ll see some of the rolling with all the people at Gracie Bradenton.
Everyone on the mats was incredibly nice and welcoming. I had a great time getting some BJJ training in with them and then hanging out afterwards.
If you’re ever in the area. Check out Sonny’s gym at
https://graciebradenton.com
I hope you enjoy seeing some additional Chewjitsu rolling videos. 🙂
