Recently I received a question about what to do when someone farts during a roll in BJJ.

The question came from our buddy Jan from the Chewjitsu instagram and he wanted to know how to proceed for his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

In short, if someone farts during Brazilian Jiujitsu training. . . you just keep rolling.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

Here is a powerful Kimura setup from Guard that works off of a Basic Guard break many White Belts (and just people in general) will use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Many times setting up the Kimura from closed Guard can be tough because people are very conscious of their hands and arms and don’t allow someone to isolate them. If you’ve train Brazilian Jiujitsu you get a 6th sense about not letting your arms get over extended or pulled away from your body.

This is why you 1st have to focus on breaking the posture of the person rather than attempting a submission. It’s similar to the way a Judo player will explain a throw.

In Judo, before you can worry about the actual throwing technique. You have to focus on Kuzushi. Which is the pushing and pulling that causes a person to be off balance and open up the attack.

Attacking from the Guard on the ground is the same way. Before you begin to attempt the throw. You 1st have to knock the person off balance and break their posture.

Once the posture is broken. We can then attempt our actual attack.

In this video I try to share some of the simple details that can make the kimura from Full Guard work.

1. Isolate the arm.
2. Secure the figure 4 armlock for the Kimura / Ude Garami.
3.Move the body to the finishing position.
4. Use the WHOLE body to finish! Don’t just focus on pushing with the arms.

To drive home the idea of the 4th part of that list. When doing a submission in BJJ. Remember that the idea of a submission is to attack a part of our opponent’s body (arm, shoulder, knee, etc) with our WHOLE body. In the case of the Kimura. Recruiting as many muscles as possible will help to overwhelm our opponent’s strength with our shoulder lock.

If you’re a BJJ White Belt or you just enjoy the Kimura. I hope this video is helpful!

Thanks!

Do you ever feel like you want to do something but have trouble moving towards that thing? Maybe you want to change careers or take on a new path in some form.

I think we all go through this changing and an almost death of our old self from time to time.

In the video you’ll hear me talk about my obsession with Bloodsport as a kid as well as my start in Mixed Martial Arts and how I wanted to let go of MMA and didn’t want to fight anymore so I could focus on BJJ full time.

This came about because I was cleaning out a car that I gave to my student and I came across some old CDs that we used for BJJ training back in the day.

For me, I have an attachment to music and so as soon as I popped these CDs in. I was immediately transported mentally to 2006-2009. I could see myself rolling with my friends and remembered all the experiences that I had during this period.

It was an interesting time for me. Because it reminded me primarily of my changing at the time. I went from chasing a the desire to be a successful Pro MMA Fighter, to wanting to jump full board into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This was a really tough decision for me. Being a fighter was something I obsessed with since I was a teenage Wrestler who got into UFC and Mixed Martial Arts.

I mean the whole reason I got into BJJ was because I figured it was the best thing to compliment my Wrestling.

This video is a little different and more of a random thought with you guys. It’s not even that coherent but I hope you enjoy the ramble.

Are you a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu who feels better when they roll with a Higher Belt?

This is the question I received from Brianda who asked,
” I’ve been training for four months and I know I’m improving a lot (everybody tells me), but when I roll with white belts. Why do I feel like I can’t do anything? When I roll with higher belts everything goes better and I can practice all the movements and submissions I’ve learned, is it normal?

In this Chewy ramble video I discuss this common situation in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. When it boils down to it this is caused by a couple things.

A higher belt (Blue Belt, Purple Belt, Brown Belt, Black Belt) is in much better control of the roll and is much more relaxed. And oftentimes higher belts will play down a little bit during BJJ training to allow the newer students to move around and attempt their techniques a bit.

This relaxed state is usually fueled by the fact that the higher belt can finish the roll and gain the upper hand at any point.

In contrast you might roll worse against a White Belt. This is because a white belt does not have the security of being more advanced technically. So, instead they are fighting life and death when pitted against another beginner during a Brazilian Jiujitsu class.

The roll then takes on a much more aggressive nature and makes it more difficult to execute techniques.

I go into more detail in the video and share a few stories. But in short, yes this is a normal situation.

If you’re running into this as a BJJ White Belt. I hope the video is helpful!

Thanks!
-Chewy

Jose commented on a recent video asking about a Butterfly Sweep to Rolling Back Take combo that was in the video.

So while I was working on videos for my new White Belt series. I wanted to answer his question.

I’ve placed chunks of the BJJ class where Adam and I were rolling. In the video I countered his reverse Half Guard position and switched it into a Butterfly Sweep. I attempted to sweep him to one side, it failed so I came back up to a square position. Then I switched the Butterfly sweep to the other side.

Right after the sweep he shot into a Deep Half Guard. I countered this by keeping my hips back which caused us to land in a Quarter Mount position.

From there I did a very simple rolling back take. Literally, it’s a glorified front roll. So if you try this move. Don’t over think it.

When you watch these techniques being used. It seems that it’s some sort of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu combo that I have because they flow together smoothly.

But it isn’t! What happens often during Brazilian Jiujitsu is that you do moves based on the circumstances. Your opponent does this, so you do this. That kind of thing.

This is just a situation where I’ve done the Ghost Sweep (as I call it) countless times as well as the forward roll to the back. The moves connected together without any sort of grand design. I didn’t plan on taking the back when I initiated the sweep.

Lastly, in the video I share a few quick details on attacking the rear naked choke right off the back. Instead of just getting to back mount and holding. I really like coming in for the finish right off the bat.

Thanks for the question Jose! And I hope the video is useful to any of you playing from the Butterfly Guard or if you get caught in the Quarter Mount / Quarter Guard position.

Adding to our BJJ Half Guard Series is the Push Out Toe Tuck Variation.

I use this Half Guard Sweep when I run into Wrestlers with a good base in BJJ. Because the Toe Tuck can be hard to come up against a good base. Even if I can’t use it as a stand alone sweep. The act of knocking them off balance allows me to keep them unstable on top.

If you’ve noticed a trend during this series. I often relate a lot of my sweeps to stories about Wrestlers. And the reason for this is that I play Half Guard primarily against wrestler types to keep from being straight in front of them.

Starting from the Toe Tuck Sweep / Old School style Half Guard. I’ll push the knee out to take the person off their base which allows me to come up for the sweep.

The 1st time I used this Half Guard Sweep in Brazilian Jiujitsu was during a rolling session with a strong college Wrestler.

During the roll I was able to get the Toe Tuck position. But I just couldn’t seem to finish the sweep because he was using a really strong over hook to smash me down.

So looking at the position. I just pushed the knee to see what reaction I got from him. And when I did it. I was able to throw his base way off and come up to top position.

So if you’ve been enjoying the Half Guard techniques I’ve shared so far and found them useful. Hopefully this addition to the Sweeping aspect of the series works well for you in your Brazilian Jiujitsu game.

Thanks!
