Confessions of A Driller (Episode 418)

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy discusses how drilling helped him hit new techniques in competition.

Chewy discusses the brawl at the ADCC Open in Atlanta, why he chooses to not show too much emotion after wins and losses, if anything would cause Chewy to get in an altercation at a tournament, the techniques that don't require drilling, what makes a technique better for drilling, the problem with only drilling techniques and the issues with only sparring, the optimal BJJ class structure, and why information alone doesn't evoke change.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
