This has my name all over it. I always play guard.... And then I'm completely lost when I get on top. You're amazing chewy ! Passing knowledge all the way down to Melbourne Australia 🙏
Thank you for posting this Chewy! I couldn’t believe how much better my game got once I mainly focused on control rather than subs. At my level I feel much better knowing I controlled someone for an entire round rather than trying for subs and getting swept. Can’t wait for the day when I finally am able to put it all together.
I have a question for you Chewy, when doing the arm push escape from side control or right before they get to side control, how do you actually remove your hips from underneath them? In Marcelo Garcia's arm push escape video he just says "hipscape, hipscape" but in rolling people will grab my legs or lay down on my hips and legs and I find it really hard to advance out from underneath the person even though I have their arm all extended away from me
Kameron O'Leary Timing is everything when doing the hip escape/shrimp. Make sure you are on your side and elbow, keep a stiff arm to their triceps (I like to push a bit if needed) and lift your hips to create the space you need to move back. As soon as they lift their weight off, you move quickly until you have cleared them. It makes a big difference for me. When your opponent holds your legs, keep on moving back until you have escaped. I know its not easy at times but you can not stop just because your legs are trapped. Keep going....
Learn to tap out early to prevent the likelyhood of injuries. Focus on defense and escapes they will be important at the start. Also train with all skill levels, shapes and sizes. Everyone will teach you something about grappling. Oss! 😄
Ty Lindamood Here's a really good gracie breakdown video concerning the mentality you should go into rolling with. The video is long and may not be directly applicable to you, depending on when your school will allow you to start rolling, but it gives great advice on how build yourself up mentally while developing good relationships with the people around you. ruclips.net/video/hHebXvoHue0/видео.html
hey chewy im a small guy and im a white belt i was challenged by a bigger wrestler and got domitated in two rounds i got him in guard position but he stacked me and was rendered usless any tips for big wrestlers?
It's easy. Professor Chewy is 100 right. The difference between me now as a brown belt from where I was a a purple belt a year ago is my mindset. Most purple belts are self-aware and over analyze their games. After my professor forced me to work on my aggressiveness I realized when I am determined and confident I was successful. I only needed to change my way of thinking.
HEAT1996 100% i have holes in my game, they always change as i address them. i dont know one person that is purple or above that would write an email calling a giant portion of the game garbage. sounds like more of a mindset issue to me. if i couldnt finish from a certain position, i would spend as much time as needed to fix it.
Hello Chewy, Kev from Scotland here. I've been training mostly in the Gi for 6 months now. I got one stripe on my white belt recently... At the end of this month, I'm going to 10th planet Amsterdam for a week-long training camp. At the end of the camp, there is a sub only tournament. I just found out the white and blue belts are in the lower bracket. Any tips for me to challenge these blue belts? Or do you think I'm just gonna get smashed?
Gravity Reads Aye, basically. The difference between the average blue belt and a guy a few months in is pretty considerable. That doesn't really matter though, does it? You're going to be in Amsterdam having a great craic and learning some new BJJ concepts. If I could give you any advice it would be to frame well after your guard has been passed to stop them immediately getting comfy. Don't leave your arms exposed and just have fun! I tap to white belts fairly often as (1) I like to try new stuff on them that frequently leaves me exposed or (2) they just surprise me with great athleticism or maybe a crafty bit of technique I didn't expect them to know. It means bugger all in training.

Thanx Professor Chewie and Professor Beast !!!
“ Change your mindset”... Great tip, going to use this!
Please do!
Super applicable to me - thanks Chewy!
This is GOLD. Thank you!
You're welcome and thanks for your comment!
Thanks Chewy!
Hey chewy can you show some details for the omaplata - maybe into an arm bar variation when the guy rolls
This was a really great video. Thank you.

how the hell does someone get a purple belt with a garbage top game?!
