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.

Fasting has a ton of health benefits but is it the best thing to do when training BJJ? What about BJJ competitions, is being in a fasted state ideal?
In this video I answer this question. Which honestly has been asked a ton recently so I wanted to answer it.
In the video I share a story about one of my BJJ White Belts who recently had his very first Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament and he did so in a fasted state. I talk about how that went in the video.
I also share my personal experience with Brazilian Jiujitsu training and rolling, along with lifting weights, in a fasted state.
Again, I share how it went in the video.
But if you’re considering training or competing in BJJ in a fasted state I would ultimately encourage you to test it out and see how it works for you. Too many people decide to do things based off of what they hear or see other people talking about.
Allow yourself to develop your own belief based on your personal experience as well.

Do you work on something specific during your BJJ rolling? In this video from one of our Friday morning classes I was specifically working Half Guard sweeps and a slick Back Take from Honeyhole.
These techniques were specific to my current goals in Brazilian Jiujitsu.
If you want to stop BJJ training plateaus, I can’t encourage you enough to try and focus on something specific from time to time during your training.
Having specific techniques to work on really helps you sharpen your skills in a particular area.

Want to learn a slick Armbar for BJJ in the Gi? Want ADAM to teach it? Well then this is your video.
We’ve had several requests for Adam to teach a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu technique on the channel. And in today’s video I step aside and allow our favorite Uke to demonstrate a technique of his own.
That’s right the tables have turned on Chewy and Adam for this video.
This Armbar variation is primarily for the gi as it will involve a gi speific grip on the belt. While it could be adapted for no gi as well. It’s a gi move.
So if you’re looking for another Armbar to throw into the mix than I hope this Brazilian Jiujitsu technique is useful for you.
Give it a try the next time you’re in this position when rolling or training.
Oh and if you enjoyed the video! Throw Adam some love in the comments. 🙂

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.

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.
