OUR ALLIANCE JIU JITSU WINTER CAMP 2026 ADVENTURE

👕 Get your No Girlie Girls t-shirt: https://bit.ly/46m3fdj . ALLIANCE JIU JITSU WINTER CAMP 2026: We decided to embark on a different kind of adventure: a jiu-jitsu camp in Boise, Idaho, that combines intense training on the mats with the thrill of snowboarding and skiing in the mountains. This unique experience brings together the best of both worlds, technical improvement in jiu-jitsu through seminars with experienced instructors, and quality family time shredding down the snowy slopes of Bogus Basin. It's an incredible opportunity to strengthen bonds both on and off the mats, while the kids have fun learning new sports and adults enjoy high-quality training sessions. The camp took place in Boise, a surprising city that offers complete infrastructure for jiu-jitsu practitioners who want to enjoy winter in the mountains. During the days, we participated in seminars and open mat sessions, working on specific techniques, guard passes, submissions, and competition strategies. The instructors shared fundamental details about position control, efficient transitions, and concepts that make all the difference in a practitioner's development. In the afternoons and during breaks, we headed up to Bogus Basin Mountain, where you can rent snowboard and ski equipment for affordable prices - around $49 for kids and $59 for adults, including complete gear. This trip was special not only for the technical aspect of jiu-jitsu, but mainly for the family experience. Watching the kids progress in snowboarding, sharing meals together in our rental house with a jacuzzi, and creating memories while practicing the sport we love is something unique. The winter camp in Boise has become an annual tradition for our family and the jiu-jitsu community that participates. It's an event I highly recommend for anyone wanting to combine jiu-jitsu development, snow fun, and quality time with family. If you're looking for a different jiu-jitsu experience where high-level training meets mountain adventure, this is the perfect camp. . ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🥋 TRAIN WITH US: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Welcome to ATTFTL!

Why Modern BJJ Sucks For Modern MMA (Episode 403)

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss why modern BJJ has been less effective in modern mixed martial arts. We discuss the BJJ ruleset shift created in 1975 that incentivized groundwork and removed penalties for guard pulling which ultimately shaped the direction of Jiu-Jitsu. We also talk about the technique that Jiu-Jitsu does best, the first "Three Waves of MMA," what Chewy's preferred guard was for MMA when in bottom position, the best base for MMA and also for self defense, the importance of sparring and going live for stress inoculation, "Alpha Male Bros," and the idea of "Inflated grandiosity."

This week, we're joined by Cal Jones! A 32-year grappling veteran with a master's in advanced coaching practice, Cal is one of the most recognized voices in the constraints-led approach (CLA) space. In this episode, Cal breaks down why the quality of your reps matters more than the quantity and how to design training that actually transfers to competition. Topics include: repetition and representation, the PVCT model (a framework for layering increasingly representative training tasks), perception-action coupling, invariants in BJJ, open mat intention, and the role of fun and confidence in long-term skill development.

Stop Getting CRUSHED In Side Control (Do THIS)

If you are tired of getting flattened and smashed in chest-to-chest side control, this video is your cure. John Danaher black belt and No-Gi World Champion Placido Santos reveals the exact "Over-Back" framing system he uses to escape one of the worst positions in BJJ and turn it into a devastating sweep. In this video, Bernardo Faria and Placido Santos break down how to escape the dreaded reverse-underhook side control. You will learn how to systematically separate your opponent's elbows from their knees, secure an over-back grip, and use their own body weight against them—similar to the highly effective Octopus Guard. Placido’s story is incredible: he balances raising 8 kids and running a small school while competing at the highest levels, proving that highly efficient, risk-taking technique can conquer youth and brute strength. 🔥 Get Placido's Full System Here: Use promo code YOUTUBEFARIA for 10% OFF! ⏱️ Video Chapters (Skip to Your Favorite Part): 00:00 - Meet Placido Santos: The Danaher Black Belt with 8 Kids 02:39 - Why Pin Escapes Are the Foundation of a Dangerous Guard 05:18 - The Problem: Escaping Reverse Underhook Side Control 05:56 - The "Armpit-to-Armpit" Secret to Stripping Top Pressure 06:35 - The Bridging Series: Forcing the Forearm Frame 07:01 - Securing the Over-Back Grip & Building Base 07:23 - Scenario 1: The Scramble to the Knees 08:41 - Scenario 2: Countering the Forward Roll 09:14 - The "Momentum Trap": Sweeping Them With Their Own Weight 10:30 - Placido’s Mindset: Why Taking Risks Makes Your Escapes Better

BJJ White Belt Afraid of Leg Locks (Can’t FEEL Them Before Injury)

In BJJ when it comes to leg locks 1 of the common complaints I'll hear from people is that you can't "feel" them before they injure you. And so, people steer clear of using them. I got a similar message from a youtube viewer recently. So I touch on the idea of leg lock dangers and the idea that you can't feel leg locks or kneebars in BJJ. -Chewy ----------------- Free Ebook: https://www.chewjitsutraining.com/focused Want to ask Chewy a question: https://www.chewjitsutraining.com/question Video Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/products T shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shop/ http://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsu http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu http://www.twitter.com/Chewjitsu Intro/Outtro Music : https://bknapp.bandcamp.com If you’d ever like to train with the team and I.

Why are there so many bad people in BJJ?

Recently, I got a message from a BJJ Purple Belt who asked why there are so many bad people in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This was in relation to all the allegations that have recently been made against some stars in BJJ, most notably the recent allegations towards Andre Galvao. I've also seen people talk about the culture of BJJ being trash which I disagree with. I'll explain my bearded opinion on it and later get "attacked" by the hulk at the end. The stories coming out suck. I've known or seen plenty of men and women who've had bad experiences. And in those situations, I encourage anyone to leave the gym and if it's something illegal, contact the authorities. Thanks for watching. - Chewy ----------------- Free Ebook: https://www.chewjitsutraining.com/focused Want to ask Chewy a question: https://www.chewjitsutraining.com/question Video Courses and Products: http://www.chewjitsu.net/products T shirts: http://www.chewjitsu.net/shop/ http://www.Facebook.com/Chewjitsu http://www.instagram.com/Chewjitsu http://www.twitter.com/Chewjitsu Intro/Outtro Music : https://bknapp.bandcamp.com If you’d ever like to train with the team and I.
