    I tried focusing on escaping mount last night and had the best rolling experience since I started jiu jitsu. Not only do I now feel confident escaping mount, it also helped me relax in an absolute crap position which in turn helped me with my claustrophobia/panic/hyperventilating. I don't know if this qualifies as a "click" moment (probably not) but having focus was a gamechanger. Next week will focus on escaping side control. Maybe the week after that, taking over the world. I dunno - we'll see. :)

    Chewie, I've been skulking your videos for a while now, and they're pushing me to get back into BJJ. You beautiful creature, you've done it. Your consistent quality has always made me remember that I can be doing more, so thank you for keeping me focused on myself. I'd love to see your gym one day.

    I like the stock market analogy for measuring Jujitsu skills. It reminds me of my surfing skills. The progress is noticed over a couple year span.

  • @Decoitify
    @Decoitify 4 года назад +8

    That's how progression works in any sports. Sometimes, you just get to do things you just don't expect to do on a normal day. The human body is a very strange machinery, it can go to an extreme to the other 5 times in 5 days.

    I just started BJJ two weeks ago and I already had some of those aha moments during training but I have yet to experience it during a rolling session. I almost forget everything I learned during rolling except for a few easy and simple locks/grapples. But I've never been more excited than when I roll with someone way higher level than me :)

    I can't say I've ever had a clear a-ha moment. The closest thing I've experienced is leaving training realising that I was moving/flowing better than I usually do. Otherwise, it's just felt like quite a long, slow, rocky climb upwards. No big deal - slowly slowly.

    Chewey if you see this. Newish to jiu jitsu. Been hitting my gym for a few months I'm one of the bigger guys in the gym not biggest but not small or in the middle either but I have a problem. It's hard to not pull guard because I don't know many ways to takedown (my gymstarts from knees most times) and the guys that are bigger than me just rip right out of my guard. Need some options in a future video maybe? Or a point in the direction of one you already made? Thanks brother.

    Hey Chewy my name is Dax and I started Jiu Jitsu back in 2012 and since then I’ve quit many times always 6 months to a year at a time which has left me behind in my progress I’m a blue belt now I was just wondering how do you stop making excuses to quit and just stick with it I always get really into training for a few months then it starts to decline and I eventually quit again but I always regret quitting and come back. My goal is to one day open up my own gym but that’s gonna be impossible to do if I continue to quit. How do you stick with it for years and still continue to enjoy it every day?

    Chewy, here's a funny question... Have you ever been trapped by your own Gi? This has happened to me twice now! The collar gets folded over and pinned between my shoulder and the floor. It stopped my being able to move my arm and I couldn't escape the position I was in. :(

    • @Chewjitsu
      @Chewjitsu  4 года назад +1

      I have been. Eventually you get a sense of the gi as an extension of your body and where it is. Try to be mindful of what they are doing with your lapels during training.

    New purple belt here, I had what I thought was a bad day in no gi which I'm better at than with gi. Got caught twice in six mins. Yes, got some take downs and a tap, but after it was all said and done I was a bit upset. I knew it wasn't right to be upset because were all learning and it's a process. So, my consolation to myself was the guy who tap me is a two strip brown belt lol
