Keith Krikorian shares his thoughts on how Jiu-Jitsu can make you a better person.

Today, I got a question from Jill, a relatively new BJJ black belt. She recently shared one of my videos where I talk about not being the type of person who lectures someone out of submissions, only to start instructing them on how to finish it.

Her question was:

“As a black belt rolling with students, are there times when you pause to give instruction during a roll?”

I asked her if she was wondering where the line is between being helpful and being annoying.

She said yes. So, in this video I’ll discuss that!

Hopefully, you find this video helpful—thanks for watching!

One of the coolest experiences anyone can have is doing something you love—something you’re passionate about—that you would do for free, but someone actually pays you for it. Whether it’s BJJ, music, or anything else, it’s an amazing feeling.

I remember my first time experiencing this: my first professional MMA fight. I won in the first round, reflecting on my 2003 dream of becoming a pro MMA fighter. I was so excited and focused on the win that I almost forgot about the paycheck. I ended up making $500 for just 4 minutes of fighting. While the money wasn’t much, I was getting paid to do what I loved.

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because with our Chewjitsu Open comps, we’re giving away $500 to the No-Gi Absolute winners! We have divisions for beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels, as well as female divisions. This is a great opportunity for you to earn some cash for your hard work. A huge thanks to our sponsor, First Optimal, for making this possible.

The next Chewjitsu Open is happening in Louisville, Kentucky on February 15. I hope to see some of you there!

Today’s video question comes from a White Belt named Jon. (Had to look it up after the video! Sorry about that Jon!)

He’s a BJJ White Belt who loves using side control so his question is about my favorite types of side control techniques or something I think everyone should know.

So in this video I share 1 of my favorite side control movements in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The movement is simple and incredibly effective at creating opportunities for the back and submissions. I teach it to my White Belts and it’s part of our fundamentals curriculum, but it’s something I use all the time as a black belt in competitions and training.

So if you like side control, you need to know this movement!

Hope you enjoy the video.
-Chewy
