Are you a gym owner and want to ask Chewy or Joe a gym business related question? Please leave the questions below.
Recently I’ve been getting a ton of gym business related questions from BJJ coaches. But also from people running other niche gyms.
And I figured I’d do some videos on the topics from time to time.
But at the same time I wanted to introduce you to my business partner Joe.
In our business he covers many of my gaps and does things that I am terrible with and vice versa. We work together as a team on our gym to make it an awesome place to train.
We’re a nearly 9000 sq ft facility with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, Weight lifting and more.
And the gym is packed everyday.
It wasn’t always this way and we’ve learned a lot of stuff over the years that we hope to share with you.
If you’re a gym owner or maybe want to be but have a question. Leave it in the comments or send it to me privately and Joe and I will answer it sometime in the future.

In today’s video I answer a question about BJJ training from our friend who is a Blue Belt in BJJ. He says that he enjoys rolling with the higher ranking belts inside his gym because they are a bit safer.
But the issue there is that he is almost always playing pure defense.
He enjoys rolling with the white belts and less experienced people because he can execute some offensive techniques. But the issue with them is that they aren’t as safe as the higher ranks.
So his question boils down to this. Do you have to train with white belts and less experienced people in Brazilian Jiujitsu, of can you just roll with the higher ones?
In my experience it’s good to have a mix, as I’ll explain in the video.
Against higher ranking belts you learn what good Jiu-jitsu feels like and you begin to zero in on your defense.
But it’s still important to focus some of your rolling attention on people less skilled than you. Because against these people you get a chance to play around with more offensive based techniques.
In this video I share a story from my experience with a friend who got way way better at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu once we had new people in the gym to train with.
Hope you enjoyed the video!

Mat burns on your toes is a real problem you will deal with early on in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
Similar to the way a callous develops after years of lifting weights. Mat burns initial start but eventually are covered up by hardened skin that is resistant to the burns.
In today’s video I answer a question from Max who is having trouble with mat burns on his toes. He says his BJJ training is going great and he doesn’t plan to stop. But he wants to know if I have any tips for dealing with mat burns.
He’s tried taping them up but the tape seems to fall off during sweaty rounds of rolling.
So in this video I share a really simple fix to covering up your mat burns so that you can roll but don’t have to mess with lots of tape or other forms of bandages.
Hope this helps some of you newbies out there with the beginnings of Brazilian Jiujitsu and the mat burn that comes with it.

In this video I show 3 options if your opponent defends the Arm Triangle Choke from Mount with the “Answer the Phone” defense.
This video request comes from our buddy Nate who saw one of my other BJJ technique videos where I showed how to setup and finish the Arm Triangle Choke submission.
But he says that when he goes to finish the choke people do the defense where they position their arm as if they are trying to answer a phone.
In this video I show 3 different options you could use in Brazilian Jiujitsu if the person defends this way.
The 1st option is a sneaky armlock that you MUST be careful with as it comes on fast.
The 2nd option is a basic Keylock from Mount.
The 3rd option is adjusting to S Mount and then attacking from there.
I didn’t get into as much detail as some of my other Brazilian Jiu-jitsu technique videos. But I hope that if you’re having issues with this sort of defense that this video will give you some options to think about.
Thanks for watching! I hope the video is useful.

This video came from one of our BJJ open mats a while ago.
Jess (my girlfriend) has been training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu off and on for a number of years.
I was in a particularly silly mood as you’ll see during the roll.
The video doesn’t give away any mind boggling new techniques or anything. But I figured I’d share it because it does show something important.
PLAY.
While there is a time to be serious and hard with our BJJ training. It’s also valuable to be have fun and just play around. The rolling doesn’t have to be for all out progress or some new skill. It can be simply just playing around.
In mammals play is often how we are wired to learn. And it’s only as we humans get older that play is frowned upon as a mode of learning.
Anyways, I’ll get off my soap box. Enjoy the video!

As part of my BJJ seminar experiences I like to offer more than just a technique demonstration and then leave.
So during my time in Florida. Sonny and I setup a seminar experience that lasted 2 days.
This video is a Vlog showing some parts of Day 1.
Day 1 which is shown in this video consisted of a big open rolling session followed by Q&A.
Then on day 2 we did a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu seminar with techniques and all that normal stuff. Following the seminar we had a dinner together. It was a great time.
In this video you’ll see some of the rolling with all the people at Gracie Bradenton.
Everyone on the mats was incredibly nice and welcoming. I had a great time getting some BJJ training in with them and then hanging out afterwards.
If you’re ever in the area. Check out Sonny’s gym at
https://graciebradenton.com
I hope you enjoy seeing some additional Chewjitsu rolling videos. 🙂

In today’s video I got a question from our friend who is a thin guy and is wanting to become a bigger stronger person for grappling.
Currently he’s lifting and doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and he’s curious if I have any tips on getting bigger and stronger.
In this video I share some really simple tips to get bigger and stronger from my experience.
The first idea I share is about adopting the eating habits of a bigger person. This may sound simple or maybe unimportant.
But in most cases I see that smaller people have trouble gaining weight in large part because they aren’t eating very much. So the 1st thing is to add more good food to the mix.
The second tip I share is to adopt the mindset of a bigger guy who lifts. In the video I share a story about one of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu students who came in in the 130s and is now around 160s.
And he adopted the mindset of a meathead after becoming friends with one of the Brown Belts in the gym.
Finally he was curious if Brazilian Jiujitsu would hurt his weight training and weight gain. And I end the video with sharing tips on how to avoid a situation where BJJ negatively affects your weight training.
If you’re in a similar situation then I hope this video is helpful!
