Blue Belt Scared to Roll After Choking Out Training Partner

From Chewjitsu

I put my training partner out with a choke

Today’s video comes from a grappler who’s trained for 6 years and recently put his training partner out with a choke and feels guilty about it.

He prides himself on being safe with his training partners. But during the roll, our friend Heath, said he put a choke on someone and they went out.

Now no one was angry about it, but Heath still feels awful and hasn’t been to a BJJ training session since.

So I’ll share some stories and some ideas to Chew on about this situation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Thanks for watching.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
