Effective Double Leg Takedown for BJJ Beginners (No Knee Drop!)

In today’s video I show a simple takedown for BJJ I’ve used several times in Jiu-jitsu competitions and plenty of times during rolls in the gym. The takedown is also relatively safe as it doesn’t require you to drop to your knee. I know this is something that worries many Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners who aren’t used to the movement or worry it will cause them to get sprawled on and smashed. It uses a front headlock to setup a basic high double leg takedown. I also included a short clip from 1 of my BJJ matches so that you can see the technique and what it looks like during a competition ..read more

Today’s video is a short Q&A video from Origin’s BJJ Immersion Camp in Maine. During the sessions this week I got a chance to speak with hundreds of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners who watch the videos, listen to the podcasts and so on. If you’re one of them, it was cool meeting you! A couple of blue belts came up to me asking questions about their grips burning out and getting tunnel vision during their rolling. After listening to their situation, I gave them some simple advice. Something that helped me with my BJJ. Now the advice is very simple and can be applied by anyone from white ..read more

Recently I got a question from a young guy who said he let his BJJ coach down. He said that this last he’s been competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and winning tons of gold medals. He said recently, he was getting ready for a competition, one of the biggest ones in the country and leading up to it his teammates and coaches were very confident in his abilities to have success at the tournament. He goes out to the competition and loses first round, by 2 points, to the person who would eventually go and win the bracket. He sends me a message saying that “I let my coach down, what do I do?” I asked h ..read more

Today we have a question from Nathan, who sends me an email, and asked: “Chewy what is the worst screw job you’ve seen in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition.” Well, after training BJJ for so long and watching so many matches, you might be surprised that I have seen a ton of “screw jobs”. BJJ competitions tend to be famous for egregious calls in tournaments, which can be pretty annoying as an athlete, coach, or even spectator who is trying to understand the sport. In this video, I share one bad call that I have experienced both as a coach and then one particularly bad call I experienced as an a ..read more

In today’s video I’ll be reviewing a couple options to defend the double stack pass. One of my guys was having trouble defending it today in class, so I thought I’d share what we discussed here too. This is a pretty common pass in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, both Gi and No-Gi. In fact, it’s also one of my personal favorite passes. With that being said, every BJJ technique has counters and defenses & I wanted to show you a few of my favorite options here. Getting stacked sucks. So, hopefully there’s a few ideas here that you find helpful. – Chewy —————– Free Ebook: http://www.chewjitsu.net/focuse ..read more

My Health Scare is Over, Now I’m Back to BJJ Training

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I had an issue where I had to take some time off BJJ and had to go to the Emergency room because of that health issue. Well, today was my very first training session back in about a month and I could feel it. If you’re older and do BJJ you probably know exactly what I’m talking about. As you age in BJJ you can really tell the difference that a long break makes. I’m not “old” in the sense of full life. But I am for BJJ. That being said, in my mid 30s I definitely don’t recover the same as I did when I was 25. Anyways, I wanted to share a couple ideas with you g ..read more

Today’s question comes from John who recently had an annoying, but far too common, situation happen to him at a BJJ Tournament. Sadly, what happen to John will, at some point or another, happen to every Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitor. I know it’s happened to me plenty of times. And if you’re not ready for the situation it can definitely throw you off and potentially ruin your performance. As was the case with John. He said he did ok at the competition, but he felt like all the changes threw his game off and he wonders if I’ve ever experienced something like this, and If so, how do I deal with ..read more

The Real Reason Most BJJ Warm Ups Suck & Why People Hate Them

Today we have a BJJ question from a fellow Black Belt Coach, Bob, who is having trouble with one of his friends who also happens to be a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Bob says that his buddy, the fellow black belt from another gym, is coming to train with him. Which he is happy about. However, his friend keeps showing up 45 minutes late to the classes he attends. He interprets these late appearances as a form of laziness on his friend’s behalf, or maybe he just doesn’t want to do warmups. And he believes he does it because he’s a Black Belt and feels like he can do it. Regardless, he’s no ..read more

Today’s video comes as an answer to a recent question from a follower, and fellow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Practitioner, named Steve. Steve’s question to me is whether or not I believe you should go to a low Mount or if you should get to a high Mount which is very common and very effective in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. His question is focused on which mounted BJJ position, would be more effective in a Street fight situation, against an untrained person. So in the video I share some ideas on how to use mount in a Hand-to-hand fighting situation on DUH STREETZ. And I share why I really like low mount vs a ..read more
