So today we have a question from a 40 year old BJJ White Belt, who is worried about being submitted in front of his coach. In order to preserve his body, and prevent injury, he is turning down the intensity a bit in his BJJ rolling sessions. The issue is, when he rolls with the young guys, they turn the pace up. And so, he is worried his coach will see him losing to these young cats, and is worried that his coach, the BJJ Black Belt, might view him negatively as a result of these rounds with younger students. He says "Is this something should or should not be worried about?" I'll share my ideas on how coaches generally view progress and watch our students. Hopefully you found this video helpful.

In today's video, I'll walk you through one of my favorite submissions in BJJ. It's a sneaky armbar that I call The Shot Gun Armbar because of the grip used. It works so well because most people in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ignore the near side arm when they are in side control. I also show you how to disguise your grips. All of this helps you hit the submission before the person ever knows what hits them. Hopefully this video will give you some insights on how to get more submissions from side control and a new sneaky armbar to add into your BJJ game.

There is a position in BJJ, called Mount, that absolutely sucks to be in if you're the person on bottom. If you're newer to BJJ, whether you do Gi or No-Gi, you might want to have a few mount escape options in your back pocket. And if you're able to use your Jiu-Jitsu escapes effectively, you'll have a lot more fun on the mats. So to help you out , in this video I'll give you 5 of my favorite escapes that work at all levels of BJJ. Hopefully you found this helpful.

In this video, I'll teach you guys some of my favorite set ups for the "dirtiest" submission in Jiujitsu, Gi or No-Gi, the Wrist lock. Do you like wrist locks when training BJJ, or is it too cheap? Regardless, I'll give you a few of my favorite set ups/options and I'll show you the key things I look for when setting them up. This way you can figure out your own setups. The best part about being good with wrist locks is that it makes touching you or grabbing you feel dangerous. That's really useful for BJJ. Hopefully this video helps.

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the main principles of "deliberate practice" from the book "Peak" by Anders Ericsson and how to better develop and maximize progress in BJJ. We discuss why talent is overrated, why some people excel physically at specific sports and why BJJ is unique, training for skill and not for knowledge, why developing skill is a "messy process," what makes a "skilled" coach in BJJ, the importance of having a "mental representation" of the technique, trying to acquire skill is not always fun, and how to get out of plateaus.

Today we've got a question from Zach, a BJJ Purple Belt who is also a jiu-jitsu coach, who is getting frustrated rolling with some of the spazzy White Belts. The other day, while rolling with one of these guys, Zach starts catching elbows. He was getting frustrated and asked me how I deal with these new white belts that come in that are snazzy. He wants to help, but the frustration is still real. I'll give my best answer, hopefully you find this helpful Zach.

In this video, my goal is to help you pass guard in BJJ like an old man... partially kidding. The goal of this video is to share a style of passing that is less dynamic, more control based, and works well in both Gi and No-Gi Jiujitsu: Tight Passing. Certain types of guard passing will wear me out, but the type of guard passing I'm showing in this video should do the opposite: wear out your opponent. This is especially important when rolling with younger grapplers who can typically push and scramble harder than their older counter parts.

Got a social media post sent in from a viewer about a BJJ coach who says "women don't need to be coddled in jiujitsu, the bad guys are not going take it easy on you, train with men men, you will learn to defeat them with hard work and discipline." The viewer wants to know, based on this quote from the BJJ coach, how he should approach training with women. He's always tried to adjust to the women he rolls with and he's wondering if that's the right strategy and what I think about with this comment. So I share my thoughts and give my bearded opinion.

I got a bunch of comments about this half guard sweep I used in a BJJ competition. In this video, I'll show you how I do it, what conditions make it work, and what most jiujitsu practitioners get wrong when trying to do this sweep. This sweep feels like cheating when you hit it right. It has lots of names: the John Wayne, Hip Shovel, the Giggler, etc. It super effective from half guard. Hopefully you find this video helpful.
