Parry Athletic The best training gear in the game and Get 20% OFF Discount Code: BULLETPROOF20 [https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals](https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals) Do you love to attack a Submission or do you play for points and position? The divide in grappling culture grows as the popularity of high action, Sub only events and tournaments has broken into the mainstream. Interest in the regular BJJ rules set of point, advantages and a slower pace game is decreasing. Will this trend continue or can there be a big change? Can the IBJJF and BJJ in general stage a comeback by incorporating submission only rule sets? If there were no points or advantages awarded in Gi Jiu-jitsu would this change it for the better? JT & Joey go back and forth in a debate on the nature of what makes grappling great and what the future of BJJ looks like.

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss a common mistake in Jiu-Jitsu. This mistake is getting good at a position in Jiu-Jitsu, but only focusing on one or two techniques from that position, and when your opponent starts to counter those techniques, moving on to another position. We chat about why the better option is to find more techniques from the position you are working on to make your attacks more difficult to defend. We also discuss the process that goes into developing multiple attacks from one position, whether you should fine tune a technique from one side or try to develop a technique from both sides, the idea of chaining techniques together, your BJJ techniques being like a "Deck of cards," what it's like attending the Chewjitsu Costa Rica Retreats and how they are structured, and what was unique about training in Costa Rica.

On this episode of The Chewjitsu Podcast, Chewy and Eugene answer a question from a BJJ coach who feels that he is not improving his BJJ as a coach, and what he can do to get better. We discuss 5 key ideas: - Do not take on the mindset of the student. - How to structure your rolling to ensure you get something out of it. - Put yourself in bad positions. - Travel, invite people to your gym, and compete. - Use time to study. We also discuss what changed in Chewy's training routine that evolved his game, the importance of modeling after successful people, whether you should you know everything as a coach, how to balance giving to your students and working on your own game.
