Bernardo Faria was one of my favorite competitors to watch in BJJ. As a big guy who played a great half guard game, I loved watching what he did in order to become a 4x BJJ World Champion.
In this video from our recent podcast episode with him I took a minute to pick his brain on what kind of training habits he had in order to become a multiple time world champ and one of the best BJJ competitors around.
The advice in the video is priceless for your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training whether you’re a competitor or not. So I hope you listen to it and take it to heart as you continue on your own path.
Thanks for watching.

In this video I give some tips on becoming more comfortable in the bottom of a tight mount position in BJJ. This video is a response to someone who sent in a question asking for techniques to escape mount. But I don’t cover techniques because he said he tends to panic and become uncomfortable with the position. In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I believe it’s very difficult to survive and escape any of the dominant position if you aren’t able to get some level of comfort.
Now I’m saying you’re going to like being in the position or anything like that, but you do have to be able to relax enough to think and setup a proper defense in bad spots. This is true for any position in Brazilian Jiujitsu but I think it’s especially important in positions where you’re at a disadvantage and the smallest mistake could lead to getting submitted.
So if you’re having trouble panicking in the bottom of mount then I hope this idea of learning to get comfortable with the uncomfortable is useful to you.
Thanks for watching!

Today’s BJJ question is about using the triangle choke as a bigger person. Comes from our friend who says he’s a big guy and needs help finishing the triangle choke during rolling. So in this video I share some useful ideas on finishing the submission in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
The 1st one is that you DON’T have to have a full deep lock behind the knee with the triangle position. In fact, if you use your hamstring to finish the submission like I show in the video you’ll be able to finish it with a more shallow lock.
After that I show some ideas on setting up angles to finish and using the triangle choke not just as a submission but as a position that launch other attacks.
Hope the video is useful to you if you’re a bigger person trying to finish this submission.

In this podcast clip, BJJ World Champion Dominyka Obelenyte discusses struggling in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu early on. She talks about how she hated BJJ at one point because of the pressure to perform and eventually found a way to get into a more relaxed state of mind which allowed her to find her own game and eventually become a young BJJ Black Belt World Champion.

Today’s question comes from Jen who is struggling to retain information in BJJ and she would like to drill her Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques more to retain the information better. Only problem is that her only training partners currently are her boyfriend (who only likes to roll) and her coach.
So she sent me a question about how to retain information better. So in today’s Chewy ramble video I’ll explain an idea of active drilling and how to drill BJJ techniques even if your partner only wants to roll.
I share some experiences of my own and also a story about Bernardo Faria that I heard recently on a podcast.
I hope the video is helpful! I’ll talk to you next time.

Ever have trouble holding the mount position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? It used to be a big problem for me and I know a lot of people who struggle with it. So in this video I touch on a couple of simple ideas to chew on in order to make your mount position stronger.
In the video I show a modified position that allows me to attack armlocks but it’s also good for holding the mount position itself. The reason is that by going to the position that I show in the video I disable 2 of the necessary things a person needs to escape efficiently. Frames and hip power. Without these, escaping mount is going to be difficult.
This will allow you to hold the position longer and increase your chances of getting a submission.
So I hope this video helps Brett and hopefully it helps you too!
