Today’s BJJ rolling video is from a recent class I taught at the gym. We’re going through some fundamental stuff related to takedowns in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and then had open rolling.

During the rolls I was looking for some very specific things with my guard passes, my side control defense and my Shotgun Armbar submission.

If you’d like to learn more about the shotgun armbar I have a free series here on youtube:

or you can check out the course I have that deep into the whole idea of side control submissions with a main focus of attacking the arms.

Having focus during your BJJ rolls is important, so I encourage you to give yourself a technical aim the next time you step on the mats.

Thanks for watching the video.

Today’s BJJ rolling video is from a rolling session where I was purposely trying to put myself in less than ideal situations so I could work on escaping and getting out of them. This is a really good practice for any BJJ coach or Black Belt who can in most cases avoid getting stuck in a back spot.

Oh and in case you’re curious about the shorts. These were my old fight shorts I wore as a pro back in the day.

The video starts with my rolling against one of my tough White Belts being stuck in side control and working back to guard.

The next one is against a tough Black Belt training partner. I was trying a move and he quickly passed my guard and eventually got mount (which I had to work out of). The last roll was with my Brown Belt who is super scrappy. Again, I was trying to work a particular sweep and guard retention to fend off his movements.

Hopefully you enjoy the video and got something from it.

In today’s rolling video you’ll see 3 rounds from a BJJ rolling session.

00:00 Roll with Purple Belt (sweeps & kimura defense)
01:22 Play Leg Lock Round with White Belt
03:54 Roll with Black Belt (back and forth sweeps)

The 1st one is with one of my Purple Belts. When you watch the roll you’ll see a mixture of Butterfly and Half Guard being used. The next round is a playful leg lock round with one of my young White Belts. We had some fun scrambles and eventually I got the submission. The final round was with one of our Black Belts at the gym who has a crazy tough guard to pass. You’ll see him score a nice sweep on me and forced me to work my way back on top.

As always I hope you enjoy the video and get some ideas for your own Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

Today’s BJJ rolling video starts off with some hand fighting rounds to give everyone a chance to work on an Arm Drag series we had been doing. Grip fighting in the gi and hand fighting in no gi Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is super important in my bearded opinion. So basically during these rounds we locked up, moved around and went for arm drags but never finished any takedowns.

Afterwards we had full rolling. One of the rounds I had was with a tough young guy who was visiting our gym (he’s a friend of 1 of our Blue Belts). He’s a solid young BJJ competitor and MMA fighter.

Later on in the rolling you’ll see me hit an arm drag technique I was working.

You can check his stuff out at:

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

And make sure you subscribe to chewy’s youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGCZBBvu7ZnqHYHuScODbAQ

During this no gi rolling session the big thing that came out at me was that my students are getting wise to the techniques I’ve been working on to take the back and get to back mount. In several of the rolls during that day my students stopped my back take and armbars I’ve been working on which forced me to do other stuff.

During the video you’ll see me go for my rolling back takes and other Chewy favorites only to be blocked. I’m both happy about this and now having to go back to the drawing board to figure out new ways to setup the techniques or whether or not I should give them up for a bit.

Either way, I hope you enjoyed the video and found something useful for your own training.

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.
-Chewy

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.

In today’s BJJ rolling video you’ll see me moving around in the gi during one of our classes. When you watch the rolling you’ll see Adam almost take my back, another student (Nick) hits a beautiful lapel sweep on me and during this time I was personally on the hunt for straight armlocks. This is 1 of my favorite types of submissions in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

When you watch the rolling I’m constantly looking for any straight armlock or variation of the technique I can hit and manage to hit a couple of different variations.

I hope you enjoy the video and may it inspire you to go on the hunt for armlocks with your own Jiu-jitsu.

In today’s BJJ rolling video you’ll see me working from Full Guard. Since we are just getting back to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training in our gym we are starting with training from Full Guard. Since Full Guard is one of the essential positions in Jiu-jitsu I figured it’d be a good place to start back.

During the Brazilian Jiujitsu training session you’ll see me trying to play from my Full Guard (which isn’t my best position) and using some techniques for guard retention. One of the rolls against my buddy and fellow Black Belt Chris was a back and forth battle. I did manage to catch a couple of submissions and techniques along the way.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed the roll. Feels good to be back on the mats. Hope you are or will be soon too.

Ever heard the saying “sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail”? Well in this BJJ rolling video you’ll see me be 100% nail. Granted it was to be expected since I was rolling with 2X ADCC champion Jt Torres. It’s still another thing entirely to “feel” it.

During the no gi BJJ training we got started relatively slow with the rolling and then began to speed it up a bit. By the end of the rolling (which lasted about 30 minutes) we had a pretty good sweat going.

During the video you’ll see Jt Torres outwork me with his position and technique. I mean he’s in great shape for sure. But his positioning and technique were truly incredible. I was never able to put myself into a strong attacking position which put me on the defensive constantly.

I could have not posted this video but I think it’s important for transparency. Many of you follow me and look to me for answers to your Brazilian Jiujitsu questions. And I’m happy to share my ideas with you. But always remember that I’m on the same path you are. I’m trying to improve and be the best I can be. And sometimes I do great and other times I get mauled, like in this video. But I’ll keep going and doing my best to improve. And so should you!

Hope you enjoyed the video!

Today’s No Gi rolling video has a ton of great exchanges. Everything from Back Mount counters to leg locks to defending my guard against some big dudes! My favorite roll from this week’s rolling video is against my Brown Belt Rob who is 240lbs and moves like he is small guy at times and was shutting down my Butterfly Guard game with his hop overs and quick guard passing. It really is a fun exchange to watch.

I ended up bailing on the Butterfly and did a weird slide by to get around to the back. In case you’re wondering I finished the roll with a wrist lock.

Hope you guys enjoyed the video!

In today’s no gi BJJ rolling video you’ll see me hunting Kimura catches and Back Takes while my student Justin (recent Brown Belt Masters 2019 No Gi Worlds Champ) is hunting guillotines.

When you watch the video I hope you enjoy the rolls themselves. But more importantly for your own training I hope you take the idea of focus to your own training.

When we are rolling there is a deliberate purpose to the BJJ training. We have specific techniques we’d like to aim for. Granted we don’t always hit them, it’s our main focus.

This is something you should be doing in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training all the time. This is how you improve the techniques and begin to develop styles and systems. You test the technique out, make mistakes, adjust and then re-test.

So again I hope you enjoyed the No Gi Brazilian Jiujitsu rolling session and maybe got something for your own training.

Thanks for watching.
-Chewy

In this rolling video you’ll see my student’s get the better of me several times. Which I’m pretty happy about. During this particular BJJ training class we did a lot of situational rolling. Some rounds start with us having the kimura already locked in place, we did some passing guard vs sweeping rounds and ended with some full rounds.

I was personally hunting kimruas for this class as you’ll see me diving and rolling for kimuras from all kinds of funky positions. I’m trying to improve my ability to catch them in weird spots to boost my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu submissions.

I think my favorite moment of this training session happened @1:09 where one of my guys Matt has been trying to work on his takedowns. He’s already a monster from the guard using triangle chokes and that sort of thing. But his takedowns have always needed a little bit of work. Along with some Judo practice he’s also been drilling some shots. And during our roll at that point in the video he hit me with a beautiful double leg.

If you watch the video you’ll see me goofing around and then Matt plows right into me followed by me laughing. I think I called him a jerk with the happiest tone possible.

Hope you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching.

In this BJJ rolling video from my gym you get to watch me roll with some of my Brown Belts and Purple Belts. In addition to seeing me work for Back Mount you’ll also see me get caught in some bad spots.

My Brown Belt, Joe, starts the rolling off with a guillotine choke. My Brown Belt, Jeff, later on blasts past my Half Guard pull.

As I talk about in my videos on Youtube. It’s a good idea to focus on a particular position, technique or movement for a period of time. During this Brazilian Jiujitsu rolling session I was focused on getting to Back Mount.

This was from one of our Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training session focused towards rolling. I hope that you enjoy the video and the sneak peek from inside of our gym.
