On this episode of the podcast, Chewy discusses why he needed to develop his "older grappler" BJJ game to adapt to training and to remain competitive against younger and more athletic grapplers. Chewy discusses how he started to discover this new element to his game, the position he would go to when fatigued, the moment Chewy decided to change his game, ideas on "uneven pressure" in side control, how to implement this style of grappling into your game, how to close the distance for chest to chest position, how to conserve your energy from top and when to move to the next position, what determines the effectiveness of the half guard position, the mantra for older grapplers, how to be more comfortable from bottom position, and one of the simplest ways to make your half guard passing more effective.

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss the importance of rest days and why many BJJ practitioners avoid rest days and taking time off. We start off the podcast by answering a question from "Bob," who is a 47 y/o BJJ practitioner who tries to train daily and even some days twice per day. "Bob" says that by mid week he has a hard time with focused and technical training and feels that he needs to be on the mats as much as possible to learn. We give some advice to "Bob" on how to get the most out of training and the importance of the implementation of "rest days." We also discuss the physical and mental signs of overtraining and how you can identify these signs and what to do about them. We also discuss why your ability to improve is related to your rate of recovery, how scrolling on social media can negatively impact concentration and learning information, and how to avoid falling behind in BJJ.

In this video, Bayshore BJJ Professor Joe Dockery gives a basic understanding of the Collar Sleeve Guard. In just 3 minutes, you'll learn how to enter the guard, and how to deal with many of the common tactics people use to try and break down & pass it.

In this video, we break down the exact spider guard sweeps to focus on if you are learning the position from scratch today. These are the high-percentage low-risk movements that work even if you're older, less flexible, or not super explosive.

The fight-or-flight reflex is always lurking just below the surface. When things get sufficiently stressful, our hormonal system dumps enormous amounts of adrenaline into our bloodstream, and—BOOM—suddenly we're ready for action. That adrenaline serves a purpose: it elevates your heart rate, makes you much stronger, more pain tolerant, and able to ignore injury. If you ever have to lift a car off a child, you don't want to be calm. Instead, you want to be mad, scared, enraged—whatever it takes to get into that adrenaline-soaked state of high arousal to lift the damn car with your bare hands. But that superhuman strength comes at a cost; as adrenaline floods your system, you lose a significant amount of fine motor control and higher brain function. Take whatever IQ you started with and cut it in half.
