I’m a white belt and every time I watch some of these videos I get excited to try it out on the mat but when it comes time to actually doing it I forget what I’m supposed to do because I’m trying to defend against the guy on the ground. It gets puzzling but I’m loving it so far, makes you think and challenge yourself and forces to want to climb that wall.
The amount of times I’ve brainstormed ideas on how to get out when being a white belt is insane. I’ve always thought of it as the hardest thing to get out of, besides something like an armbar.
Hi Chewjitsu. I impressed my instructor yesterday by using this guard brake. Being in training for so far 3 weeks and always getting owned it's nice to see progress as I am starting to give higher ranks a hard time when rolling (when I say higher ranks I mean higher white belts as anything above still owns me like I'm not even trying). Thank you for explaining things step by step.
Great basics video. Love the videos and the coaching you provide. On a side note contrasting colors of the gi you and Adam wear would help the viewers see the positioning details a little better. Both of you in black kind of melt together making it difficult to see positioning.
#1 Guard pass...good stuff! Also got to watch that arm and make sure you don't get in a arm bar when breaking the guard. Make sure your elbow is inside and even connect back to your hip if you can. I can't count how many times I got caught in a arm bar from doing that move.
I just received my blue belt last month. However, I was in closed guard today and I absolutely sucked. I stood up, but had poor posture and was subbed via arm bar. I knew I had to go home and watch some videos on this sunjey
I'm a very new white belt Gracie Barra BJJ. On my 5th full roll I was paired with a guy 30 lbs heavier with his 4th stripe, up for blue next cycle. I have some previous martial arts experience with Taekwondo, Wing Chun, and Japanese Style Jiu Jitsu as my background. I couldn't break his guard at all. I was able to get him to tap twice from within his guard but I couldn't actually pass it. This is exactly what I was missing. New style, new principles.
Is it the hand on the hip or overall pressure that keeps them from basically moving their hips or tailbone off your knee eachtime? I always end up "chasing" their tailbone around trying to get the proper position. And vice versa, its my go to for avoiding the escape is shifting my hips to the side to keep their knee off my tailbone. Any input their? Great videos! One of my favorite content providers. Thank you for all the free knowledge you pass on.
Hey chewie, been watching your stuff for quite a while now (and I’ve picked up training myself). I am 17 and I love this art and I was thinking about different careers I could make out of it potentially in the future. Could you make a video describing some career paths you could take as a bjj practitioner? Thanks
As someone who's fairly new to bjj but who's been training other martial arts for a while, I don't get why bjj coaches don't highlight these fundamentals I have two bjj coaches, I've been with one of them for a while and always struggle with this technique making all the mistakes Chew mentions and I've never been corrected by either. Is this a BJJ culture thing?
I'm a white belt and this absolutely is the biggest problem I have. The upper belts just grab my giu and don't let go, or if I break guard and get to my feet I'm stuck.
Hey chewie how do you go into the guard break into a pass? More on the pass side after the break because once I break it I have hard time passing wether from or the open guard or opponent able to reguard
Hey chewie, I’m new to BJJ and have been training no-go for a couple months now. I feel like in order to progress through the belts I need to be training in the gi. Do you agree or do you think I can see the same belt progression by training solely in no-gi?
I was with my friends and I wrestled/rolled with one of them. I have slightly more knowledge than him about ground fighting because of my older brother showing me a few things while my opponent knows nothing. But he was super aggressive, and I couldn’t hold my chokes on him, or get into a good position to win. How do I overcome someone with a high level of aggressiveness?
Best thing to do with aggressive untrained ppl is to let them tire themselves out. If you were on the bottom I recommend staying calm and patient while putting a lot of of pressure on his neck. 1: he can't do too much damage while having his neck held 2: using your neck to fight against pressure is extremely tiresome. Hope this helps
Ok now I'm confused.....we were just working this yesterday and my coach had me grabbing more of the heart area when you did where the two sides of the gi meet in the front.....did I miss understand or are both ways ok
@@user-nk3re4dj5h that's what I thought....but he's a black belt....my belt is bleached white....and the last thing that I want to do on my first day at a new school was be disrespectful lol....

Watched this this morning and broke a guard with it at class today, thanks for the content

I'm not even in BJJ and these fascinate me. Kinda wanna start up if there's a gym I can find around here.
Do it. You will love it.
Do it, it’s the awesomest thing ever
This is your sign so go do it man , it’s my life lol
There's always sweaty guys who would love to roll with you
Would love to know if you ever took it up?
You're the best Chewie! I am a touring musician I will come visit your academy next summer and train! You've helped me a lot by videos!
See ya then!
Love the theory being explained here before showing the move itself. Really helpful.
Great video Chewy. I've been struggling with this for the past several months and this helped illuminate the mechanics for me. Thank You!

And great vid Chewy 👍

Thanks
Thank you. Now I understand the principles behind that technique.
Helpful tips. Especially the belt line / belly button rule. Thanks!

Gotta love Adam. The silent killer lol.
Something I definitely struggle with, thank you!
This video is helpful, thanks Chew!
How do you win the grip fight to get your hands in position to push the guard player's hips to the floor?

Two different things
Very useful thank you!!

Do it
I’m happy to answer questions for you and help find a good gym in your area just respond with your city and I can give you the best one

What if he grabs both of your wrists?
Circle your hands outwards until his hands are facing palm up and break the grip.
Hard to break a lanky person's guard seated like this, e.g. Chad?
good isht
Very helpful thanks!
