Roye and Miguel discuss the benefits of Jiu Jitsu and mental health. While it is not therapy, in many ways it can be therapeutic. Jiu Jitsu is great way to clear the mind and focus on the direct task at hand. While fighting out of terrible positions we can learn to overcome uncomfortable positions on and off the mat. There is also a tremendous amount of comfort in finding a group of people that share the same form of stress relief as you, and often times similar personality traits. It's important to know that we are not alone in this world and there is always someone who understands us, sometimes right there on the mats with us.

On this episode of The Chewjitsu Podcast, we recap the 2021 No-Gi Worlds, discuss some competition takeaways, Chewy's experience competing on a gas tank that was a quarter full, and do a live Q&A. Q&A Includes: What to do when getting fatigued holding closed guard, how to get competition intensity into regular rolls, how to stop thinking about BJJ before bed, how to get in shape as a white belt, how to get better at takedowns, if its normal to feel invisible to the coach, how important is the vibe at a gym, when to let go of a choke, when is the right time for your first competition, how to tell someone in the gym they stink, and more.

I hope you like this. One of my favorite setups now from the closed guard when your opponent is posturing or trying to work the pass/escape. you have to push both arms on the side and trap the closes wrist, forearm under your armpit and keep it stuck, there. takes a bit of practice. Then get the sweep from there if it doesn't work, using the leverage to get on top and finish with the amazing Scorpion Death Lock! (@jaimevilleneuve 😉). . I really like this one and fun to apply Try it and tell me what you think! .

The Woman, the myth, the legend! Jess Fraser is a pioneer in the Australian Jiu-jitsu scene. If you do not know this name, settle in for a amazing tale of perseverance, toughness and competitive fire.

While we often welcome some time off theres nothing more dreaded than the "forced" time off from injury. How will we recover? How will we get better if we cant train? Should I quit all together?

In typical fashion we also go a little off subject to discuss some funny and serious life issues. Enjoy the show and stay tuned at the end for a special voice message...Love you Mom
