I get a lot of questions from people (my students and online followers) about the best foods to eat before BJJ training. Many people ask this because they struggle to eat and then train without feeling sick. I literally just had this conversation with one of my students in the gym the other day.

So in this video I share some basic ideas on what’s worked for me and my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. Warning! This is a video talking about diet which means everyone, and their mother is going to have something to say about it. Here’s my advice. Don’t fall victim to zealotry when it comes to dieting. Most often people push this stuff for their benefit, not yours.

And with that said my encouragement is to try things out for yourself. So I lay out the methodology of me pre-training nutrition along with some of my favorite pre-training foods.

Hopefully the video is useful to you.

Today’s question comes from a Brown Belt who’s a big guy, with big arms, big chest and a big belly. His words, not mine. He’s having trouble rolling from back mount because of his stomach getting in the way. And so, he’s curious if I have any work arounds technically to deal with that.

In this video I steer away from the idea of looking at this problem technically. Because for many people I think they’d make their BJJ skill better if they focused on develop their physical fitness and living a healthier lifestyle. Along with that I share a few quick stories about students and friends I’ve had in Jiu-jitsu who made massive improvements in their BJJ abilities by focusing on improving their fitness level.

Also, if you take my advice on hiring a coach for your diet. Here’s the social media page for my nutrition coach who writes out my meals for me.

I don’t know about you. But anytime I begin dieting, maybe to cut weight for a BJJ competition or tournament, I instantly want something I’m not supposed to have. For instance I almost never eat ice cream. Like maybe 3 times a year. But as soon as I’m dieting for a match or something and losing weight. . . I want ice cream. If you’re similar to this then you might like this recipe I share in the video.

It’s super simple. It’s a casein protein, oats, water/almond milk and some sort of nut butter.

You can use whatever protein you want. But if you’d like to try the UMP protein I’m using. Visit: https://beverlyinternationalstore.com?aff=5 and look for the UMP products. Heads up that’s an affiliate link. So I get a kick back. But regardless of whether you get some or not, it’s my favorite protein bar none.

It ends up making a pudding that’s high in protein and super tasty. If I’m trying to cut weight I’ll take out the oats and whenever I’m trying to increase weight I’ll add more oats.

This video is a response to a lot of you who’ve asked for some food related tips on the channel. This is just a simple one but it’s a helpful addition for keeping me on my diet whenever I’m losing weight for BJJ competitions.

Thanks for watching.

So like a lot of people over the last few months, Joe and I let our diets and training slide a little bit or are just not in the shape we’d prefer. So over the next 2 months Joe and I are going to focus on getting back into better shape and take you along for the ride.

Joe is focused more on weight loss where I’d just like to adjust my composition a bit.

We’ll be doing a weekly vlog just catching you up with what we are doing. Hopefully this can be useful or inspiring for your own training.

I’ll personally be sharing workout ideas, the food I’m eating, etc etc in the hops that it’s helpful to you.

You can also check out Joe’s videos below.

I got a question regarding binge eating and weight loss from our friend who is a teenager doing Brazilian Jiujitsu and martial arts. They say they tend to diet well for a while and then binge eat for a couple of days and then back to a good diet.

This viscous cycle is really killing their weight loss goals which they are trying to do through exercises and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Now they sent the question to me because they knew I was an overweight kid growing up and overcame it and wanted to see if I had any tips.

So in this video I share a dieting tip that was really helpful back when I was cutting weight for MMA fights.

The tip is simple, but it really helped me not binge eat after a rough day of training or a bad day outside of the gym.

For many of us, food has a lot of emotional attachments to it. It can pick us up or make us feel good. And we often associate bad food with good memories. Embracing this, you can use it periodically to treat yourself rather than deprive yourself.

I hope the tip is useful to you!

– What my lifting routine looks like.
– If I’m available for seminars.
– Getting motivated for training.
– Getting back to BJJ after an injury.
– My carb intake.
– Dropping weight classes for BJJ competitions.
– My longest lay off from BJJ.
– My 1st martial art.

Hope you enjoy the video!

I recently posted on the Chewjitsu Facebook and Instagram about random questions people had. Fun, silly, personal, etc. They could be related to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or not.

There were literally hundreds of questions so I might make a few videos off of them.

I chose some that were interesting, useful or just questions that I had funny stories to share from my BJJ and MMA career. My favorite story in this video is probably about my stinkiest moment in MMA.

Here are the BJJ / MMA / Personal questions that were chosen . . .

– Did you ever NOT bath to get the upper hand on your opponent for competitions?

– Any best advice?

– Should Jiu-jitsu be in the olympics?

– Pre Match Ritual

– What do you do when you’re not motivated to train?

– Why do you practice Brazilian Jiu-jitsu ? (Short and Sweet)

– You look leaner, did your performance suffer during weight loss?

– Most Memorable Moment in BJJ ?

– Do you think you can defeat Master Ken using Ameri-Do-Te techniques in a street fight ?

– Do I whisper into people’s ear when I roll with training partners?

Hope you enjoyed hearing some of the stories and seeing the questions people asked.

Again, not the usual Brazilian Jiujitsu advice or tips. But they’re fun none the less.

– Chewy
