8 Useful Stretches to Loosen Up Tight Muscles after BJJ Training
Recently I did a video on some stretches and movements that you could use for recovery following BJJ training.
The video was a little longer with detailed explanations of the stretches. That video is here: https://youtu.be/9y-5f1B2HtI
But if you’ve already watched the video and just want a refresher to take you through the stretches then you can watch this one.
In the video there are around 8 basic stretches I use following a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class. There are more stretches that I use. But this at least is a small group that you can easily try on your own.
If I was to put down every stretch or corrective exercise that I use. This video would be too long.
I tend to do these exercises either at the gym after a class to cool down and keep my muscles look.
Or sometimes I’ll do them at home after a shower before I head to bed.
This is also a great chance to listen to an audio book or something like that.
Hope the stretches are help with your BJJ training.

Can’t Break Full Guard in BJJ? Try this Painful Choke to Open Guard
A really frustration situation in BJJ is when a long legged person locks up Full Guard, squeezes and doesn’t open.
It can be incredibly hard to open someone’s Guard who has really long legs.
As I’ve expressed in other videos. The full guard was one of my worst positions early on.
In this video our friend Andrea, asks a similar question for her Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.
She wants to know how to break full guard when the person has long legs and squeezes.
In this video I show a really simple Thrust Choke that can be used in order to get the person on the bottom to open up.
It’s simple, powerful and really uncomfortable for the person on the bottom. And if they don’t respect the submission attempt. It’s possible for them to go unconscious.
And as I explain in the video. From my experience in Brazilian Jiujitsu. When you apply the choke. Guard players will often open up to get out of the position and choke.
So if you’re having trouble breaking full guard in BJJ. Give the choke a try!

Short Rolling Highlight (Takedowns and Losing My Mount)
Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focused-jiu-jitsu-13-page-ebook/
In this video from one of our recent Brazilian Jiu-jitsu No gi classes. I hit several takedowns during the class. But as I tried to play around with a few new mount techniques. You’ll see that I wasn’t successful.
Which isn’t a bad thing. I gave up space and was unable to hit the new moves I was working towards. Something we should all be doing from time to time in BJJ.
Hope you enjoyed the video of our rolling down at my gym Derby City MMA.

Back Step Your Way into A Shoulder Lock from Half Guard
In this BJJ technique video I show another setup for the Monoplata , Marceloplata, Spiral Armbar or what I call the Ugly Armbar.
Here’s the video where I show why I call it the Ugly Armbar: https://youtu.be/WPngPq3I0Us
The Ugly Armbar is such a great shoulder lock submission for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. 1 reason is because many people don’t use it much so it remains a little bit or the sneakier side.
But also, it’s one of those BJJ submissions that you can find lots of different positions. I’ve got setups to this move from Mount, Guard, Side Control and in this case. . . from the Half Guard position.
The technique starts with a back step movement to get the movement started. And as my opponent or training partner moves towards me it opens up the attack.
If you enjoy the technique and would like to add it to your Brazilian Jiujitsu game. My suggestion is to get drilling. Like any submissions when you’re training or in competitions. You’ll only have a moment to execute it.
I hope you enjoyed the video of the Ugly Armbar , Monoplata, Marceloplata setup!

Frustrated Higher Belts Are Upset with This Tough Blue Belt
Being a BJJ Blue Belt who can submit Purples , Browns and higher belts in the gym and competitions is a great thing right?
Yes, but it does come with some potential issues.
Recently I got a message from a young Blue Belt who is struggling when he visits other BJJ gyms while traveling.
This is because when he goes to these Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms he’s able to submit or outmaneuver many of the higher belts on the mat. Especially when in No Gi.
Again, this should be a good thing. But he finds that many of the people inside these gyms take offense to it.
They will get angry at him for beating them.
This isn’t right, and people shouldn’t take it so harshly. But it is what it is.
When dealing with people’s egos and the pecking order of their BJJ gym. People have a tendency to get up in arms and upset at times.
I’m better about this now. But I was guilty of this kind of stuff at one time in my life. So we can choose to point the finger if we want. But I don’t find that very helpful.
Instead, in this video, instead of condemning the people that our friend is rolling with. I try to give him some practical advice about feeling out the people he’s rolling with, before he kicks up the intensity.
I share this by touching on two separate situations. 1 was with my poor mindset as a young BJJ Blue Belt.
The second was how I approach going to gyms when I visit now.
Hopefully if you ever get into a situation like this in your own Brazilian Jiujitsu training this video will be helpful to you.
Thanks for watching!

Chasing Back Mount with Double Under Passes (BJJ Rolling Session)
This is a video of some of the highlights of a BJJ open rolling session we did last year at my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville, KY.
My buddy and teammate Joe Baize, plus a few others, stopped by and we got some killer rolling!
Add to the fact that the heat was out and it made for a hot, sweaty, BJJ training session.
The 1st few rolls were slow and more flow like to get warmed up. And then we progressively worked our way into harder and harder rounds.
During the training you’ll see me play with legs a couple of times with Joe and immediately get submitted.
I jokingly call him a leg sorcerer. His leg game is incredible and I knew that being there means it’s only a matter of time before I get submitted. But I wanted to play there a bit.
During the session you’ll also notice the use of the Double Under Pass from me. This is to negate the leg game and Chad’s triangle game. And then immediately chase the back.
During the video you’ll see again and again that my game plan is to get around to back mount somehow and secure the choke. For me, it’s my best finishing position so that’s where I’m always shooting for.
I hope you enjoyed the video and maybe found something useful to takeaway for your own Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Training.
Also, it’s worth noting. We are going pretty hard in this video. But at all times we’re smiling at one another. I think this is super important. Train hard with your partners in Brazilian Jiujitsu. But always keep a good attitude and a friendly demeanor.
As my buddy Tony would say, Smash and Smile. 🙂
