In today’s video I show I a simple escape from a tight knee on belly position for one of the channel viewers.
The question came from social media who is having trouble with one of the higher belts putting him in knee on belly. So in the video I show 1 of my favorite ways to escape the position by focusing on 1 of the weak links to the knee on belly position.
The escape isn’t easy, escaping a tight position from a higher belt never will be. But the ideas in the video could give you a fighting chance.

Today’s video is going to be a little bit longer, but it’ll be worth it if you’re struggling with your Guard Retention.
A message came in from a viewer named Collin who says his guard retention sucks, it gets shredded, and he wants some tips to get better at this area of his BJJ.
With that being said, as a guy who came to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Wrestling, I’ll give you a couple reason my guard retention sucked at first and then give you some of the solutions I’ve found in my Jiu-Jitsu journey.
I’ll give you 8 different tips in this video, in no order of importance.
Hopefully, if you’re struggling with your guard retention like Collin, then you found this video helpful.
Thanks for watching.

What’s up guys,
Today’s video is going to be about the upcoming Chewjitsu Opens & Seminars.
Recently we had our first tournament, with 300+ competitors, here in my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
Unlike most Jiu-Jitsu competitions, the Chewjitsu Open is a round robin formatted tournament with Madison Bracketing (Explained more in the video).
What I wanted to do with this Jiu-Jitsu competition was to make it very competitor friendly. The focus is to help up and coming competitors (or even experienced competitors) get more experience.
If you want to compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, especially at any higher level, the more experience you force yourself to get, the better.
In wrestling we were able to compete weekly and that’s the reason Wrestlers tend to do super well in most Jiu-Jitsu competitions.
The worst part of trying to get comp reps in Jiu-Jitsu, is that losing means you’re done.
There is no back-side or consolation bracket like there is in Wrestling. You could spend $1000 in fees with travel, hotel, registration, etc., go 0-1 and leave with nothing but a sour taste in your mouth.
That’s why we started these tournaments.
If you’re interested in signing up for one these tournaments you can check out the link below. You’ll also see the schedule and locations for each Tournament & Seminar:
Thanks for watching!

Today I’m going to share with you one of the most common traditions we have in BJJ that will make you absolutely TERRIBLE at takedowns! (rolling with bigger partners on the feet)
No, kidding…
The reason I bring this up is because I got a question from a young, competitive, Blue Belt named Justin.
He says that he’s won a ton of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments by pulling guard and he’s loving BJJ. However, now he wants to start adding some takedowns to his game in order to be a bit more well-rounded.
The issue is this…
Most of the guys at his gym are much bigger, therefore he’s stuck trying to wrestle the big guys which is obviously problematic (risk of injury/unrealistic looks compared to competition/etc…)
As a result, he’s starting to develop a certain level of fear of takedowns.
In the end he asked me “how can I get over my fear of takedowns?”
In this video I’ll tackle the process of developing confidence in your takedowns for Jiu-Jitsu.
I’ll also talk about the importance of training in your own weight class, especially when doing takedowns, in order to stay as safe as possible and build some confidence with your techniques.
Lastly, I’ll address the way takedown rounds are often done in Wrestling and Judo and why I think BJJ could focus more on this philosophy when rolling on the feet.
Hopefully you found this video helpful.
Thanks for watching!

Today I’m answering a question from Eric, a viewer, who is getting to the Von Flue Choke in BJJ but is struggling to finish the submission.
He says he has the position, he’s squeezing really tight, but for whatever reason he cannot finish it, hence why he sends me the message.
The Von Flue Choke is a sneaky counter to the Guillotine and Is a great technique to learn if you train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or even MMA.
The problem Eric is having with this technique is pretty normal though, so I’ll attempt to show you a different way to finish the submission without using so much muscle.
Instead, we will focus on utilizing body weight and positioning to get a proper finish.
Hopefully you found this video helpful, especially if you were having a similar problem finishing the choke.

Today’s video is going to feature Austin (IG: @badboymedicine) again!
Instead of focusing on takedowns for Jiu-Jitsu, this time we’re going to focus on what to do once we actually get on the ground, specifically with a focus on submissions once we get to the Half Guard position in BJJ or MMA.
We will explore a sequence from half guard in order to pass, pin, and submit your opponent off their back, with a specific focus on No-Gi grappling (of course most of this can be modified for the Gi too.)
Austin, a Judoka, asked specifically for submission sequences that come after a pin, so that’s what the focus on this video is going to cover.
We will also cover getting to mount, controlling the mount position, and submitting from there. This will include me teaching Austin some nuances such as passing from quarter mount, forcing my opponents to post on my knee to give up their arm, securing mount, and more.
It’s always fun seeing grapplers from different arts trying BJJ, so I hope you guys enjoyed this video as much as I did.
Hopefully, if you were struggling with the positions in this video, then you also found some useful tips that’ll help your game out too.
Thanks for watching!

What’s up guys, today we’ve got a question from a guy named Brian who has this idea that I think a lot of us in the martial arts world tend to hold.
Brian is getting ready to compete as a Blue Belt and he’s nervous.
He said he competed a little bit as a BJJ White Belt but didn’t feel great doing it.
He says he feels pretty dang good when he’s practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the gym, but when he gets out on the competition mats, the nerves take over.
Because of this, he feels like he always underperforms.
He says he’d like to get rid of the fear and asked if I had any tips to help out with that.
In this video I’ll try to share something with Brian that most fighters/grapplers come to terms with as far as competition goes, that actually SKYROCKETS your ability to compete, and it might surprise you.
Hopefully if you’re struggling with competition anxiety, then you found the ideas in this video helpful.
