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

/in , , , /by

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

My Secret for High Percentage Armlocks from Side Control in BJJ

/in , , , /by

Want to increase the finish rate with armlocks from side control? Then this video is for you. In this video I’m going to show you my Arm Scoop position from side control along with a ton of important details for finish straight arm locks, kimuras and wrist locks. This is one of my highest percentage attacks in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I’ve done some form of these submissions since I was a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and have used them all the way to Black belt.

But as I’ll share, the most important part is the setup. If you use the arm scoop position like I show in the video, you’ll find that it’s so much easier to catch and finish your BJJ submissions from side control.

Enjoy the video and I hope it helps.

He Feels like a Fake Purple Belt Because of White Belt Memories

/in , , /by

In today’s Q&A I answer a question from a newer BJJ Purple Belt who says he feels like a phony. He says that when he was a White Belt the Purple Belts in his gym were absolute monsters, and he doesn’t feel like he’s a monster. He feels like he’s no where near their skill.

In this video I share some ideas on this common imposter syndrome thing. I also share why in the case of the person asking today’s question, your view of a belt from the ideas of a newbie can skew the reality of the situation.

I know this from experience as a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner myself and as a coach who’s had numerous students say the same thing.

Whether you’re struggling with imposter syndrome because of a new belt or something else, then I hope the video is useful to you.

Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching.

5 BJJ Back Mount Escapes in 3 Minutes

/in , , /by

Get stuck in back mount during rolling? Happens to everyone in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at some point. In today’s video I share 6 different ideas on escaping back mount. Some of them are a little funkier than others but I’ve been able to use all of them at some point against tough opponents during rolls.

The escapes include options against top arm side, bottom arm side, and body triangles.

At the end I share a simple back and forth drill you could use as a warm up or to get extra reps in.

Hope the video is useful to you with your back mount escapes in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Talk to you next time.

The Worst BJJ Advice to give to Strong People

/2 Comments/in , , , /by

Don’t Use Your Strength! This is something all of us big strong people hear in BJJ from day 1. And in my bearded opinion it’s some of the WORST advice in BJJ, as I’ll explain in the video.

Now, I’m sure if you train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and are a bit smaller, and have had the pleasure of rolling with a 200lbs+ spazzy person, you may be resistant to this idea. But stick with me in the video and I’ll explain why this advice in BJJ leads to poor performances and more injuries.

Take More Backs in BJJ with 2 Effective Techniques If They Turtle Up

/in , , , , , /by

In today’s basic White Belt BJJ techniques, I use as a Black Belt I’m going to show you 2 of my best back takes that work off a guard passing situation. Taking the back off of a guard pass when the person turtles up is one of my most successful ways to secure back mount in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

The back takes are simple and can be used as shown or combined together with other Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques. I’ve hit both of these techniques at grappling competitions like the No Gi Pans, Pans , ADCC trials and others.

Is This a Sign of a Money-Hungry BJJ Coach?

/in , , /by

In today’s video I reply to a comment from one of my recent videos where a viewer said that “BJJ coaches hold back students to maximize profits.” I’m paraphrasing a bit there, but the idea is accurate.

So, I share my thoughts on this idea as to whether or not BJJ coaches, or martial arts gyms in general, hold their students back to maximize profits or if there is something else going on.

After watching the video you’re welcome to contribute to the comments with your own thoughts and ideas about the subject in BJJ and martial arts gyms.

Thanks for watching.

Guillotine to Triangle Choke Combo from Full Guard

/in , , , , /by

Today’s BJJ technique idea is a simple Kimura / Kimura Sweep to Guillotine to Triangle Choke from a full guard position.

I like to use the kimura or bump sweep in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to setup techniques because it’s a powerful tool to knock people off balance for a moment. And while they’re off balance you have essentially put yourself a step ahead of them. This makes it easier to setup the submissions you’re after.

So, if you like closed guard, guillotine chokes and triangle chokes then I hope this technique serves you well on the mats.

Thanks for watching.

Should You Wear a Cup for BJJ Training ? (Here’s Why I Don’t)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Today’s question is a simple one. Should you wear a cup for BJJ practice? So, in this video I’ll give my quick thoughts on wearing a cup for BJJ training and rolling. I also share a slightly silly, slightly gross story about an MMA fight where I shared a cup with one of my fellow teammates.

In the video I mention a cup I personally used. The link for that is below.

Here’s a link to the diamond MMA cup I mentioned earlier in the video: https://amzn.to/3KECXFb

If you’re getting into BJJ and are planning on wearing a cup I think that’s fine. Just keep the things I talked about in the video in mind.

Thanks for watching the video.

Out of Shape White Belt Wants to Improve Cardio for BJJ Rolling

/in , , , /by

Today’s Q&A video is from a brand-new White Belt who gasses out too fast during BJJ training and wants to improve his cardio. Now his request is for options other than just the obvious, roll more solution.

So in this video I share 2 ideas that will help improve your cardio or “gas tank” for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I’ve kept the tips as simple as possible. Doesn’t mean they’re easy, but if you act on the 2 suggestions I give in the video I guarantee you’ll be able to roll longer and have more energy for BJJ training.

I say this from my experience and also the experience of many of my students.

If you’re struggling to roll in your gym and want to give your BJJ stamina a boost then I hope the video helps.
