The Next Time Your Train BJJ, Try This Breathing Technique

- In today's video I share a simple breathing exercise to try the next time you're rolling in your BJJ gym. It's a simple idea that can help you slow down your pace, not be so pazzy (if you're a white belt) and even help you out last someone else.
I started doing this type of breathing back in 2018 after reading a couple of books that got recommended to be from a friend. And initially it was a struggle to breathe in the way I talk about in the video. But now after doing it for several years it's much more natural and I've noticed it's given me a clear advantage of my opponents in competitions and some of my training partners in the gym.
Hope the video is helpful to you. And good luck with trying the exercise the next time you roll.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.
Hey Chewy this is completely irrelevant from this video but I feel like it should be said. I went by your gym while I was out of town and I just want to say it was one of the most pleasant experiences I've had during my Jiu Jitsu journey! You were out that day and the gentleman running class was extremely punctual and treated me like I was a regular student, he also taught me one of my new favorite half guard passes! Anyone thats nearby should drop by its a wonderful place to train.
Bummed I missed ya, but happy you had a good experience. We've got a good group of people in the gym.
I met Chewy at a tournament, and he's totally like he is on his videos. A super friendly guy.
@@insidetrip101 my profé had a match against him and said he was one of the strongest guys he's ever fought.
I started doing this maybe two months ago and it's improved my focus during rolling exponentially. Rather than reacting and panicking in difficult situations I am able to breathe through it and clearly think about what I need to do to improve my position. Still a work in progress but definitely advise people to try
Thank you brother. I was getting destroyed by this brown belt and he said I could feel your breathing/heart beating extremely hard. I held off from being submitted but there wasn’t much left in the tank. I’m definitely going to start using this. Not gassing out is half the game for me.
Tried it last night. Made it through 3 rounds of sparring, had to go mouth-breather for the rest though. I'll keep testing, thanks Chewy!
Everybody should breathe through their nose. Love this, thank you
Something thats helped my breathing in BJJ a lot is try to only breathing through my nose while rolling. Its very hard at first but eventually it just becomes second nature. At this point I only need to breathe out of my mouth when going full speed. Great video!
Fantastic stuff - exactly Rickson’s strategy when he fought - when his heart rate was at 90, the other guy was at 130 or so…
Recently I have had extreme trouble with controlling my breathing, thank you for making this video!
if you want to learn about breathing I recommend the book "The Oxygen Advantage" by Patrick McKeown and the books by Wim Hof! Also learn about Yoga, there is a lot of useful techniques for BJJ too!!
Going through Oxygen Advantage right now, it works if you’re consistent.
What about breathe by James Nestor? He does different breathing techniques and has another book called deep, it’s a about deep sea breathing and how to use their techniques which you can use for surfing and bjj
@@Jeffro5564 Breath blew my mind, will have to check out Deep
@@Jeffro5564 I am going to check that out for sure! Thanks
Great tips. When I was a musician in marching band we would perform a similar exercise to help lower heart rate where after performing more intense cardio like sprints, we would breathe in and out at a set speed, trying to push how slowly you could do it. Surprising how quickly slowing down the breathing would slow down the heart rate.
Thanks Chewy, this is one of my biggest issues. Great advice!
Awesome advice man. Even after all these years every now and then I will catch myself breathing hard. And it's not necessarily because of cardio I find that it happens more when I roll with people of my rank or higher. Like when my Old Coach comes down I feel like I did on day one and I tend to freeze up, start breathing hard because my adrenaline starts going, and I have trouble firing off! The adrenaline one DEFINITELY plays a roll with your breathing! I have to catch myself, close my mouth, take a few quick breaths through my nose while keeping my core tight and exhale slowly. It helps me out a lot 👃 👃
Combat breathing, if you aren't familiar with it look it up. Works very well for brining heart rate down in survival stress situations, and will also work in social stress situations. My resting heart rate is 50-52.
Mine is 48, i also enjoy bragging to people i dont know about stuff no one asked
Going to try this out. Thanks, Chewy!
Really cool tips thank you. I'll forsure try all these techniques.
Thanks for the tip bro I needed this, I’m a white belt in Bjj and I’m still pretty new to all the stuff I’ve been going through with my classes, whenever I try one on one with someone I usually breath through my mouth not my nose much and I usually just poop out by 3 minutes later lol. Anyways thanks for this I’ll be practicing that more often 👍
Great video! Thank you. Thanks Wim Hof also 👍
Dude this is such a huge tip for me. I'm a new white belt andi was just thinking i need to slow down
I wish I could train bjj at your gym! Much love from Hawaii chewy 🤟🏽
Looking forward to you coming here to Decatur and participating in the PGF.
I'm a 45 year old white belt, that has been sedentary for about 15 years. My BIGGEST issue with my training is my breathing.
I tap out just from hyperventilating, and I do this very very quickly. Within 3 minutes. I forget to breathe at all. Like, I legit just forget to breath. Every expenditure of energy happens with my body holding my breath. Then, I hyperventilate short shallow breaths and then I'm quickly suffocating.
This has resulted in me getting full body cramps and being in agony, while trying to drive home.
I feel like this makes me a terrible training partner. Nobody gets a full roll with me.
The worst part is that I KNOW what is happening. I am just powerless to stop it.
It's made me give up altogether.
If you’re noticing that you’re not breathing during rolling then you need to treat it as if you’re drilling a technique. What I mean is literally concentrate on breathing - don’t worry about getting subbed, just breathe. I have to remind people to breathe all the time so it’s not a unique situation. Don’t quit, work. You’ll get there.
I needed this.
If you ever watch some of Marcelo Garcia's old matches he only breathes through his nose. It's also a way of looking fresh, even when you are tired.
So so good my bro
Duely noted!!,🙏🏻💪🏻
Would you also recommend this same breathing process while doing other exercises/activities etc.. that get me gassed?
I've been trying to get the cardio back after some health issues and that's been my biggest hurdle. You don't realize how good your cardio really is until you lose it lol
whoever is reading this, you are in manual breathing and blinking mode now
I'm telling you, if you do any kind of martial art, you NEED to be doing meditation and yoga, maybe even taijiquan. You hone your breathing and mobility and it helps with every aspect of martial arts, especially the mental side. I feel like mental training for combat sports is very much understated.
Your videos are really helpful
Glad you like them.
I like to run and get my cardio on point. I run 10-13km once a week but everybody in my gym tells me it's a waste of time.
The type of cardio I need for rolling I actually get it from rolling 🤔 my question is, is running really a waste of time?
What’s up kalil. Honestly from personally experience running makes me feel like I have more in the gas tank when on the mats I don’t believe it’s a waste of time I hear the same thing. I usually go for runs or hit the treadmill with intense incline to keep my heart rate up
@@isaacgutierrez680 same here brother. I think I just keep on running 🤔
Hello Khalil - running is absolutely a good use of your time as a part of your overall training mix.
Low intensity steady state cardio has a host of proven benefits and running is a load bearing activity, so it is also good for bone density and connective tissue strength.
If nothing else, ‘doing your road work’ has been part of the training of soldiers and fighters for as long as records have been kept.
Like all training and exercise modalities, it has its place as long as it supports and serves your primary goal focus, which I am assuming is BJJ.
Chewjitsu breathing: first form, DESTRUCTIVE BEARD
It’s taken me a long time to overcome breathing through my nose. Broken nose and habit
Wooo new stuff yayy
Any tips for those of us who can't get a full breath through their nose say like with a deviated septum? I've been trying to learn how to regulate my breathing but with my mouth slightly open so I can get a full breath through nose and mouth at the same time. Until I can get surgery, I've got to find a work around.
Any specific book recommendations specifically on breathing?
I also have always been into breathing
What is the book on breathing referenced in this video?
I just rolled for my first time and did pretty well. However, after class I had this crazy headache and made my vision a little weird. Also, i had feeling of wanting to thrown up. Care to elaborate on this? Is this something I should be cautious about? (I’m out of shape)
If you're out of shape then it does make sense. As your body is not used to this sudden amount of activity. It should go away as you get used to it. But check with a physician if this gets more serious or you're worried. Since it's hard to help with this kinds of info online.
u getting enough electrolytes? theres a lot of sweat coming out of the body every session
@@Jeff_123 I do believe it was due to dehydration. I rolled again Tuesday, this time I was properly hydrated before class and had Gatorade with me. During my rolling session, I had controlled my breathing better and didn’t spazz out as much.
After class, my vision was good and had a little headache but no where as near as the very first time I rolled. Haven’t worked out like this in like 10 years and I’m overweight so my body is def not used to this type of work out. But I love it so far
@@BlahYouBeezy ah yeah that can happen too, dehydration, not enough food, not enough electrolytes, not enough experience, etc. are all possible causes of the headache, nausea and weird vision. Glad you found out which problem you had man, gotta stay safe when training.
would you be allowed to share the name of the book? If so, could you kindly write it down? Thank you so much!
I'll put together some resources for you guys in a video soon.
@@Chewjitsu much appreciated !
Can't do that, lol. My sinuses are jacked up since birth. Mouth breather fo life! 🤣🤣🤣
What books fid you reference about reading
I'm a bigger (Muscular) guy who is older. But my cardio is my week point. Any tips for increasing it???
Do more cardio
What would you do if you had a few injuries make it where you real cant do Bjj?
I’m all for nose breathing during Jiu Jitsu but what if my training partner smells bad 😬
Bigger issue then
Im trying to develop slow control, i really dont like having to use a lot of muscle or speed to make something work. I feel like i could probably stay in the nasal breathing range rolling the way i like to. Is it bad practice to never use full speed or strength if i never intend to compete?
It sucks because I can't breathe through my nose , I need to have surgery to open it up.. Wearing the little things that hold your nose open helps a little bit until it get ripped off
I've been nasal breathing all my life, no book needed, I'm 65.
What was your favorite book on breathing technique?
My deviated septum brings my nose breathing to 1 nostril. It sucks.....
Ever looked into getting it corrected? One of my students did and it was life changing.
@@Chewjitsu I went for a consultation. With my insurance I would need to hit my deductible as its considered an elective surgery, and my deductible is $6200. I just can't swing that. Maybe when our health system stops being archaic.
What about if your nose is really crooked and broken like mine?? 🤣
Get it fixed?
HOW DO YOU GET TO THE POINT OF JUST NASAL BREATHING? SEEMS NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME ON THE MATS IM MOUTH BREATHING.
First read Breath by James Nestor. Second go for super hard runs, nose breathing only, when you feel like you’re going to suffocate, try to ignore that signal for as long as possible, then slow down. Never mouth breath, when your caught up, do again, and again, soon it’ll be second nature. Learning how to quiet that suffocating signal is key.
Practice.
Wait..you can read?!!
0:57 I thought you said "breeding"
Oh my god!🤣 I can’t not hear it now, thank you for the laugh.
It’s BJJ, not bj.
. . . . . . .
Unfortunately my nose is pretty messed up and broken, so mouth breathing is my only option
Tried it last night. Made it through 3 rounds of sparring, had to go mouth-breather for the rest though. I'll keep testing, thanks Chewy!
Good work on taking action from the video.
