This was a hard fought win for our friend Bryan this no gi BJJ match.
I decided to break this match down because of how it went back and forth. Bryan did a lot of great things. But there were some small details that I think anyone could learn from.
In this match I’ll bring special attention to hand positioning during guard passing as well as hip position.
During the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu match you’ll see Bryan and his opponent both attacking with Bryan winning at the end.
I hope you enjoy the breakdown.

I revived this question on my Instagram. He stated “I can get to the technical mount but I feel I am so tall I can’t keep control. Then when I go to the back I lose it. Please help!”
i am here to help! Here is how I like to take the back from the perfect mount. It is important as a taller grappler to learn when to compact and when to be long. The perfect mount is a time to compact and stay tight on your opponent. If not than you will lose the position.

Recently I had 2018 IBJJF World Champ Mahamed Aly out to our gym to train and do some videos.
Along with all the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training we did at my gym Derby City MMA.
We also got together for some weight lifting.
Since we both had finished a Brazilian Jiujitsu session. We didn’t go very heavy.
Instead we were doing some technique work on Olympic Weight Lifting. Namely the Snatch.
And afterwards we did a bunch of ab exercises. This part wasn’t really planned.
You really get a sense of what kind of freak athlete Mahamed is when you see a 230lbs man moving around on the rings and bars.
It was impressive.
During the Olympic lifting portion we were guided by my buddy Joe who is the head coach for our Strength and Conditioning program along with his coach Joe who is big into olympic lifting.
Joe also works for Uesaka barbell.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this Vlog with Mahamed and I just messing around.
Talk to you guys next time!

Recently I had 2018 IBJJF World Champ Mahamed Aly out to our gym to train and do some videos.
In this video I take you guys along with me while I meet and train with Mahamed.
It starts off with me picking him up from the airport and finishes up with him rolling with me and the students at my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville, KY.
During our roll all I can say is. . . man. . . he’s fast! Especially considering he’s like 230lbs.
The Brazilian Jiujitsu techniques and ideas he shared were great. And if you ever get a chance to train with Mahamed you should definitely do so.
You’ll also see me teaching a bit as well as just some clips added in during the day.
This is a little different than the normal style Brazilian Jiujitsu videos I put out. But I hope you enjoy it.
Talk to you next time!

Inverted guard and inverting in BJJ is very beneficial for submissions, sweeps, and guard retention.
But with any position in BJJ, it comes with some inherent risks for injury.
Here are my tips to keep you safe and help prevent injury when inverting in BJJ.

Recently I had 2018 IBJJF World Champ Mahamed Aly out to our gym to train and do some videos.
In this video Mahamed shows a series of slick submission options when you’re having trouble finishing the Armbar from top position.
These submission options not only give you the ability to finish the roll or match. But they also allow you to have greater control and make your opponent super uncomfortable.
The slicer he put me in was awful! And the collar choke he used was no nicer! both of the submissions were brutal!
I like this video because it’s several simple BJJ techniques from a common position.
I think everyone who has done Brazilian Jiujitsu at some point has struggled to finish an Armbar.
And make sure to stick around for the end as Mahamed and I share a few thoughts about training and developing a deeper more complex Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game.
Hope you enjoy the video!
-Chewy

Recently I had 2018 IBJJF World Champ Mahamed Aly out to our gym to train and do some videos.
In this video Mahamed focused his attention to White Belts defending armbars. So in this video we show an armbar escape.
He said when he was a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu he didn’t want to tap and would get his arm popped all the time. He’d leave training with sore arms.
So to help White Belts and any Brazilian Jiujitsu practitioner with their ability to survive. He shows a slick armbar defense.
If you’re struggling with defending armbars then I hope this video is useful for you!
Being able to defend submissions is the focus of anyone who is new to BJJ.
Hope you enjoyed the video and I’ll see you next time!

The “lumberjack Sweep” is one of the very first sweeps that I teach my students. It is a very simple but effective sweep. You see it hit a lot in low level competition and sometimes in high level as well.
A lot of people make the simple mistake of backing into the sweep rather than kicking your foot out away from the grip. This is a simple but mind blowing game changing technique.

Do I set New Years resolutions? This is the question I got recently.
I originally answered this question on my email list. And the big idea that I shared was about how I break down goals.
Here’s what I mean. . .
For me, I tend to be a little bit hyper and all over the place. If you’ve watch the videos sometimes I have a tendency to speak quickly and all over the place.
This energy is great. But sometimes it causes me to lose sight of my goals.
But back in 2016. I thought about all the things I’m good at in my life. Like weight training, Brazilian jiu-jitsu the gym business, teaching, etc. And when I thought about them. I realized that they were all things that I did everyday.
So when 2016 New Years rolled around. I set my goals and then started to look at daily things I could do to make those goals happen.
While I certainly didn’t hit every goal. I hit more goals than I had ever hit before.
And I’m sure if you talked to my business partner Joe. He’d tell you that there was a change in me around this time. I became much more focused and better at completing projects we had for the business.
So while I don’t have everything figured out. I have found a huge value in focusing on simple daily tasks / daily rituals to make the big goals happen.
I wanted to share, and I hope it’s useful for you.
