Getting Submitted by my Younger BJJ Students & Knee on Belly Drills

February 23, 2023/in BJJ, Submissions, Sweeps, Tips, Training /by Jack C

The other day I posted a BJJ video about being an older BJJ Black Belt. I know some of you said it’s only because of a belt. And that’s an easy scapegoat, but that’s not it.

Old champions and masters in other combat sports feel the similar things. I’ve spoken to champions in wrestling and kickboxing who got older and struggled with the realization that they weren’t what they used to be.

That said, I talked about it. And in today’s BJJ drilling and rolling video here’s a great example of me going through it. The video is from a training session from a few weeks ago when I was coming back from Costa Rica. You’ll see some knee on belly drills first followed by rolling. During the rolling I got subbed by a couple of my students and became the “nail” instead of the hammer. This is something I talk about in videos, but maybe it’ll be useful for you to see it too.

So enjoy the drills and enjoy watching the Chewster be the nail instead of the hammer.

Finish More Collar Chokes & Armlocks with a Powerful BJJ Principle

February 15, 2023/in BJJ, Competition, Submissions, Training /by Jack C

I got a BJJ question about collar chokes from Side Control. So in this video I share 2 of my favorite collar chokes from side control. But more importantly I share a principle that I use with chokes and arm attacks from every position.

The principle for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is incredibly simple to understand. But when you implement it into your game you’ll probably find that you finish both chokes and arm attacks with a higher rate of success.

If you’d like more details on the shotgun armbar be sure to check out the video series on the position here on the channel. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5…

Happy submission hunting!

2 Corkscrew Armbars from a Failed Kimura in Full Guard

January 9, 2023/in BJJ, Submissions /by Jack C

Today’s BJJ technique question comes from Spencer who’s getting to a Kimura from the bottom but is unable to finish it. He sent me a question asking for options based on the position he was getting to.

As a Kimura guy I know the exact issue he’s running into. So, in the video I show 2 different armbar options I’ve used in competitions. They’re just basic variations of the corkscrew armbar.

If you find yourself in the same situation, then I hope the techniques help.

Finishing Collar Chokes for White Belts (Don’t Make These 2 Mistakes)

December 22, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Submissions /by Jack C

There are 2 big mistakes I see people make when they’re trying to finish their collar chokes in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It’s something I did as a White and Blue Belt . . . to be honest, it’s something I’ve done even into the higher belt ranks. But especially at the lower ranks it was a problem.

So, in this BJJ technique video I’ll show you the simple corrections to these 2 common collar choke mistakes. By simply fixing these 2 errors you could possibly take your collar chokes that aren’t working now and making them effective during rolling.

I know this has been the case for me and my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

Oh and in case you watch the video and don’t understand the terms casting and reeling, I’m referencing the actions you use with a fishing pole.

Hope the video helps you with your training.

The Reason This Brown Belt’s Armbars Suck After 15 Years of BJJ

November 30, 2022/in BJJ, Submissions, Tips /by Jack C

Today’s question comes from a BJJ practitioner who’s been involved with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for over 15 years. He asks if my game ever feels like trash. Meaning, do I have days where I feel off and even like I’m getting worse.

The 2nd part of the question concerns a basic BJJ technique that everyone knows but yet this Brown Belt struggles using during rolling.

So in the video I answer his questions and share a story of how I struggled using a very simple sweep that everyone learns early on in BJJ as a Black Belt. I also share how I improved in this weak area of my Jiu-jitsu game and how you can do the same with a simple idea on mental framing and preparation.

Hunt Submission in BJJ Like a Big Cat in The Wild

July 8, 2022/in BJJ, Competition, Submissions /by Jack C

In BJJ everyone wants to be more offensive and hit more submissions. It’s fun! In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu nothing feels quite as good as a well-timed submission. And so today’s question comes from a White Belt who said he’s defense is good but wants to turn up the offense now.

So in this video I’ll share 2 things. #1 I’ll share something that will destroy your ability to be offensive on the mats against similarly skilled opponents. #2 is a simple idea to eliminate this problem and how to become laser focused on your offensive techniques and submissions.

Now, I won’t lie to you. The idea is super simple. But it’s effective. It’s something I still do to this day. And when I think of all my best students and friends in grappling, they do the same thing.

So anyways. . . Hope the video gives you some useful ideas to assist you with your training.

Finish More Subs in Front Headlock with This 3 Choke Attack Sequence

July 4, 2022/in BJJ, Submissions /by Jack C

In today’s technique video I’ll teach you 3 brutal chokes from the front headlock position in BJJ. I say brutal because they’re tough chokes. For instance, a rear naked choke in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a pretty smooth choke when done with good depth, all things considered.

But in the case of a Darce, Anaconda and the Arm-in Guillotine. . . there’s are a lot of “suck” to them. The Darce in particular hurts even when it’s done perfectly.

What’s cool about this video is the tecnique is shown as a sequence where if 1 fails you just move to another. This is a quality you’d like to have for pretty much any position you try to get especially skilled with in BJJ. So hopefully the video will give you some useful ideas on how to make this happen.

Anyways, hope the technique video gives you some useful ideas for your training. Happy submission hunting my friends.

Easily Stop Darce & Guillotine Chokes from Half Guard Bottom in BJJ

June 20, 2022/in BJJ, Defenses Escapes Counters, Submissions, Sweeps /by Jack C

Do you get submitted with Darce or Guillotine chokes when you try to use Half Guard Sweeps in BJJ?If that’s the case then this video could be helpful to you.

As a half guard player in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I used to struggle with getting choked from the position. People would dive on my neck and catch the submission. But over the years I’ve found some simple ways to counter their attempts and still maintain good position to get my sweeps.

With that said, the idea in the video is simple. I’ll show you how to prioritize your submission defense and your sweep attempts. I’ll also show you some simple hand fighting ideas that will make it way harder to submit you with a darce or a guillotine choke.

Hope the ideas prove useful to you as a half guard player in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Also, if you’d like to give your half guard sweeps a boost. I go into more detail specifically for half guard sweeps in my half guard sweeper series. Click the link below to learn more. https://www.chewjitsu.net/sweeper
