Essentials In my Gym Bag for BJJ Competitions (Food, Gear, Etc)

- What do I put in my gym bag for BJJ tournaments? I get this question pretty often.
But recently, there was a fun story from the IBJJF No Gi Pans which made me consider actually doing the video.
I was sitting in on the 1st day watching matches and a brown belt from Marcelo Garcia's gym and I were talking. One of his teammates didn't have the proper clothing to compete.
Jirel took out a spare set of shorts he had and handed them off to him. Then jokingly looked at me and said I should make a video on what to bring for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournaments.
While it was a joke, I think it was a great idea.
I know that many times there are so many questions for new competitors. So if I can share a few tips, why not.
In this video I share the stuff I bring with me to Brazilian Jiujitsu tournaments.
I include the gear I bring.
The food and supplements I bring or use.
And I also include the type of tools I use to warm up with prior to the match.
If you've got a BJJ competition or match coming up. Then I hope this video proves useful to you and gives you some ideas on the types of things you should bring with you for tournaments.
Thanks for watching and I hope the video was helpful.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

Bring two unless you’re Brazilian. 👌🏼😎😂
Rudy Becerra so true.
I find the salt useful when I exercise over 2 hours!
"got a bit of a tan and don't speak English" is the best way to describe Brazilians.
Only half of us are white.
@@diegomunhoz6508 still funny...
To be fair, I only know 1 Brazilian less tanned than me... although I'm a full blown gringo. Ginger Brazilians do exist though!
@@AV9000x make me
Oh is it?
When I was in wrestling for warm ups I would do a bit of general calisthenics(squats, push ups, jumping jacks, etc) find a partner or coach and do about 1min of pumble drills,about 1min of hand fighting, and maybe 1min of a stance drill to get loose.. but I was 17.. 26 year old me needs about a month to recover from standing up to go to the bathroom.
Hey Chewy, please do a warm up video!!!!!
“Electrolytes, it’s what plants crave.”
Brawndo!
I love the low key call out on the favoritism. PORRA!
Dude please make a shirt that says “ambalance”
I remember the original clip where the dudes are fighting on the bus and he takes a punch and shouts "somebody call an AMBERLAMP!" hahaha or at least that's what people thought it sounded like at the time.
the salt thing is spot on, i drink about 3L through out the day and my mouth was getting dry whilst training started adding salt to that b and it was a wrap
Chewie you're the man! Thank you for all these great vids!
I'm nowhere near competing but this is good to keep in mind for the coming months. I'm excited to progress!
YES!! There’s that ambulance lol. And great video. Too bad this wasn’t out a year ago. But It will definitely be very helpful to those competing in the future. Well done.
I can't help but suspect, if you're called out for having a "bad color" (when how could that possibly matter) the ref or judge has a family member or something competing and is just trying to weed you out.
Yeah and it always seems to be the Brazilians that get all bent out of shape over Gi colors, seems really silly and arbitrary to me
Great video ! Lots of good information !
Chewy you are the MAN. Thank you
Ref made me change gi’s in between my matches because my white gi got my opponent’s blood all over it. Luckily I brought a spare blue gi. Definitely going to stick with blue for competitions from now on.
Hey chewy, love your videos. You talked about what things you use to warm up but can you do a video of the actual exercises and other things you go through right before you hit the mat for a comp. Thanks
I'll see what i can do.
Gave you the like for including all the info in the description as well
Thank you so much for this great video!
I have my first tournament in November and I'm sofaking nervous. This is extremely helpful, so thank you.
Just get a single collar tie and jump to a flying gogoplata. It works every time at first competitions because of its simplicity.
Good luck bro!! first ones allways the worst! .. once the match starts.. just get ur grips and pretend its just a hard sparring session!
so do i man xD good luck to you
Did you win?
How did it go?
Thanks for your video. I went to a tournament and I based what I brought on this video. :)
I’ve got a comp on Saturday and this really helped 👍🏽
To improve your during workout drink for recovery add fructose syrup. Dextrose and sucrose mix works better than either of them alone.
Am I the only one who is amazed that much stuff fit into that bag?
Can you do a video on what stretches you do? Great video! 😁
On the subject of food, I typically always have a bag with pitted dates, prunes, dried apricots, dried pineapple, raw unsalted almonds, raw unsalted walnuts. This I'll eat during training in a break if I need a boost.
An hour or so beforehand I normally have a protein shake with whey blended with lactose free whole milk in a shaker that gives me about 75-100 grams of protein and 30-40 grams of fat energy.
I use electrolyte tablets or powder in my water for hydration.
That's what I'll do if I'm just training.
If I was going to an event to compete I'd probably also bring some fresh fruit like oranges or fresh pineapple for quick sugar with hydration and bananas are good too.
If I pack food (a meal) a typical meal I might pack might be something like rotisserie chicken shredded over yellow rice with grilled onions and some roasted salsa verde, raw broccoli, carrots and some hummus.
Alright now you got me hungry 😆
100 grams of protein a hour before training 🤢
Your diet is horrible
How about training intensity a couple of weeks before competition and last week before it?
You are the best bjj videos on RUclips love your content my daughter has just started bjj and we love watching your stuff for tips and tricks thx for all your hard work
Love your vids chew 😎👍👌
Thank you!
getting to the sweaty level for warmups is the best, My final track meet I was all layered up and the sweat under the hoodie was agony, but once the layers come off and its go time. Best feeling
I was rolling with a purple belt who had to stop cuz of foot cramps. I asked him if he takes salt and he looked at me like I was crazy. It's dangerous people don't know this shit considering how often we sweat.
Patches too low on sleeves? No habla ingles. Ok ,you're good to go!
lmaooooo you realize brazilians speak portugese
Wait that is spanish AHAHAHAHA
9:34...."Ambulamce!"
First. As well as, legit super helpful. Thank you much, good sir
Glad it was helpful!
Chewy could you please show us the best in your opinion warm up and after training stretching?
Yo I was at work the other day and a customer had a chewjistu shirt on! Had to say whatsup lol BJJ is the best jump off point.
How do you time your warmup? What about having room for warmups? Sometimes the space is all taken or not much provided, guess the bands help with this?
I usually have some problems with the timing of my warmup because the tournament is off schedule or the schedule is explicitly vague, or brackets that are hours apart. How do you manage the balance of warming up initially, staying warm and not just draining yourself (ending up tired and hungry with not but your grit to rely, which admittedly sometimes works).
This is crazy, is this what other people do as well? I show up with water, a mouth guard, and a gi.
V8 Spicy Tomato Juice has about 30% of daily recommended sodium intake. Super helpful for keep or getting hydrated.
I love Laura bars! I have food allergies so there are basically the only brand I can eat.
For warm ups I usually bring a jump rope to get the blood flowing
lol what you mean not black enough ? what kinda rule is that ?
I'm not the ref so I don't know.
Ask the sun 🌞
thanks again Chewy!
Dojo looks good dude.
Thanks homie! This is our Crossfit side where my buddy Joe holds things down.
Sick! I had always wondered about the gym layout.
Hey chewy. Thanks for the video. I am the same age as you. Quick question. What kind of things do you have them check in your blood work?
Sharing his sweaty is a good way of spreading staphylococcus! Icky! LOL.
Eh it's ok. We've rolled plenty of times so I'm sure we've swapped some sweat before.
Hey brother you should check out Evo Hemp bars, just a mix of raw fruits, nuts, and seeds. Similar to Larabars but powered with hemp protein so you get that good brain food.
Dextros is glucose Chewy. That rush you're feeling is unbridled sugar and an insulin spike I'd wager. But it's probably a good thing as your muscles are depeleted of glycogen from exercise etc.
Saw your bag and warmup video. What do you do if your match isn’t until 7pm at night and you have all day before you even have to get to the gym?
I love the intro and outro song you use in these videos! What is it called?
Thanks so much for the tip on salt. I have a zero salt diet and always wondered why I was constantly and seriously dehydrated and sweating like a pig.
damn, how are you even living without eating salt i drink so much water that i think i'd die if i didn't eat salt lol
I really feel sorry for your taste buds. You must have the most bland food.
power ball as well for grip/forearms!
Just got the hip circle bands. They seem to work well
Happy to hear it.
When competing there are times I don't have any teammates with me to go over my game plan and actually drill what I want to do in the match, any tips?
Fun story, I had just bought 2 new Gi’s and took them to a tournament. I also had a banana that I had, and put in my bag...
Come time to get dressed, I opened the bag to see that the banana has got crushed and smeared all over the bag!
To my luck, the white gi I had was barely untouched so I was more that stoked haha.
Tough to get banana out of the gi too 😂
In this video you remind me of Alf at the kitchen counter lol
The salt thing is a hard one to grasp because it can seem counterintuitive. Water is held in your body using osmosis. If you have a lot of salt, it means you can hold a lot of water. If you lack salt, it means you can't hold water. Your body wants to hold water, but it physically can't do this unless it has salt. People who are severely dehydrated (ie drunk people) will crave salt and water. People who have plenty of salt will crave water.
One food thing that really changed my life about 6 years ago was when I started exclusively drinking protein shakes for lunch. All of those weird things that people think are normal such as getting hungry every couple hours or getting angry before lunch or getting tired by the end of the day were caused by me eating too much sugar/carbs. If you find that your mood, energy, or motivation wildly fluctuate throughout the day, this is definitely something to keep in mind. Are you a ninja in hour 1 of BJJ but a beached whale in hour 4? It might be your blood sugar.
Should you bring a mouthguard if you are rolling gi only?
1) preworkout?
2) do u bring your bag to bullpen/mat if u r solo? Usually no lockers at these things
More luggage than you can carry on a plane, still no towel
What about a belt? You know how many times I have seen ppl forgetting their belts
I didn’t include some of the essentials like a towel, belt or stuff like that. Figured I had to try to keep the video shorted than a half and hour. ;)
Always bring 2 uniforms...in case you soil one of em. Dis why i don't have white Gi's
Hi chewie, pls make a vid about side mount escapes, as that is what i ve been having problems with. I am 14 but have to train with 21-22 yr olds due to me being really tall (i'm 6"). Most of them are lifters and hence, heavier than me. This causes many problems in my escape. Hope u see it and respond
Hey mate, obviously I´m not Chewie, but I am pretty sure he has a couple of videos about that exact topic on his channel. Also check out the videos of Chad the Beast Hardy, who is a black belt under Chewie. Chad also happens to be a pretty tall and lanky dude himself, so his game could be perfectly suited to you. Some of his videos definitely helped ME a lot too, as I am a lanky grappler aswell and learned to embrace my physique to easily hang with a lot stronger guys in my gym reliably.
Bonus tip: check out Jeremiah Vance´s "flytrap submission" from bottom side mount. Nasty stuff, you can really surprise a lot of people with it. Requires some flexibility, but it really favors long legs! Once people catch on to it, they will often back out of side mount if they recognize the setup though (which i like to use in order to regain my guard).
Hope this long post of mine helps you!
Take care and keep rolling!
thanks mate love how the grappling community is such helpful
Gerolsteiner sparkling water... Very high in minerals
Do you wear a cup to protect the family jewels?
Is this something that is commonly used with Jiu jitsu?
check out diamond MMA compression jock. Its the best.
You can wear them in training, but athletic cups are not allowed in competition
Thats pretty much stuff bro. I got one set of Gi and a clean short before i shit myself at a submission and a clean t shirt one bottle of water with himalaya pink salt on it.
Water follows sodium (salt) in the body. Without enough salt, your body can’t evenly hydrate your body in a sense. Nowadays most food is loaded with sodium so it’s not an issue, but if you eat clean i would imagine it’s definitely possible to be deficient, therefore messing up your hydration
im going to compete next month i hope my gi is blue enough lol...!
Ha, one item was missing, the most important one for any tournament!!! Especially non-IBJJF, probably the only org where it isn't needed. One day, lol, all will realize!
David Shin well what is it?
Salt AND potassium broseph. It'll keep you hydrated, and the potassium may help you from getting cramps and all that. You need those electrolytes (salt and potassium) when you're drinking a shit load of water. When I was motorcycle racing, all the tracks in the desert would have potassium tablets along with sodium.
Hey Chewy! I’m Jen. I want to start bjj soon and I have some questions: What are some good alertenatives to rashguards/spats ? I am short and overweight (5 feet tall 220lb) and if I’m reading the size chart correctly the ladies gear will not fit on most websites. I’m currently getting personal training sessions at a gym near by and getting a better handle on my nutrition. So far I’ve lost 20lbs. Should I lose more weight before taking my first class due to possibly having issues with gear? I don’t wanna show off the goods on accident.
Keep up the good work..!!
“AmBaLaMpS”
What is with the rash guard rule? Why are they picky about colour?
i salt my water too when i told my friend he looked at me like i was nuts xD
We did that in the army. Dropped salt packets inside canteens when someone was about to heat stroke.
@@markbuildstx yep, everyone looks at me like im stupid xD the salt hate is bassed on some old ass study but in reality its vital, i used to have such bad cramps from not eating enough salt
Why else would you tape up a few fingers, unless someone broken? Just wondering.
If you need potassium an easy cheap way is called nosalt mix 1/4 tsp will be almost 700 mgs of potassium
Do you use pre workout for competitions?
Traveling to Nashville where would you recommend a drop in?
My coach Shawn Hammonds teaches at Guardian MMA and Nashville MMA depending on the day. Call and check with those places. Another friend Jason Matherly runs The Academy a little north of Nashville. Another good school.
Thank you I’ll look them up
Went to Nashville mma today. Thanks for the recommendation.
A sweaty gi will let you heavier so maybe you'll need to jump to the next weight class (wich is harder).
gogrimmiego you weigh in before warmups
Have you ever used spirulina combined with Coenzyme Q10? I have watched a video from a doctor who said that this combination is very helpful before one does intense physical effort.
Hi I'm from NZ I do kyokushion (not BJJ idk why I'm here)
But I had this tornament that I've been training months for that got cancelled a week out because of Covid-19 the government literally stopped sports and gatherings of more than 500 people
School is still going
9:38 "ambalampse". lol
I've got problem. After bjj training my throat hurts specifically during swallowing. It lasts few days. Like I've got really bad cold. It happens when I'm choked by triangle, guillotine, RNC or whatever choke. Is it common? Is there way to deal with that? Is it dangerous? Or just try to live with that and it will disappear? It's really hard to eat and drink with that
Kamil Marudziński are you allergic to detergents?
@@wesmoore436 no I'm not. I'm pretty sure it's from chokes
Kamil Marudziński its called tapping in time. If they got a hard hold of your throat just tap
I had that problem as well. Especially when drilling chokes. Start tapping earlier.
It happens to me when we practice what we call at my gym the "LAPD chokes" where the forearm is pressing on the windpipe or the front of the throat as opposed to the sides of the neck. I just learned to tap sooner in that case.
re: salt. If you're an older bloke like chewy who is probably looking after himself and eating whole, fresh fruit veg and meat, definitely go ahead and salt your foods. But if you are eating stuff out of packages (college student, shift worker) 99.5% of you wont need to salt your food as salt is thrown in everything.
if you are eating a lot of processed foods salting your food only counts for about 5% of your daily salt intake, so its negligible... better advice is salt your food and stop eating processed foods as best you can.
@Roger_roger..?
Thank you for your reply.
You have confidently stated a '5%' figure. That seems arbitrary, and in and of itself does not actually mean anything, so defining that as negligible does not really make sense. How would you know how much sodium anyone person consumes from the packaged foods they eat, and how would you know how much salt that person would add to their foods. Yes, it could be small, or it could be a large quantity. It is all relative, but always negligible? I think not.
Even better advice would be to read the nutrition labels on all foods one consumes, and only then deciding if salting your food is necessary or not. This as opposed to recommending salting all consumed food and reducing packaged foods "as best you can". Who is to say how much any one person is capable of eliminating processed foods from their typical diet.
Irregardless, I think my original comment still stands. If you are esting processed foods, you probably do not need to salt your food. I still stand by that advice and believe it stands well alone.
@@slumpig360 i will stick to tge advice given to me by the cdc and every instructor i had at culinary school, which is cut out processed foods
@@MrCooperst No worries mate, you do you. Culinary school is a fantastic place to learn about health, disease and physiology.
I only have one gi 😂
You know that thing with the salt and similar to potassium your electrolytes we learned that when you live in places like Phoenix Arizona and you do mountain biking you absolutely need to replenish your electrolytes no matter how much water you drink you can actually sort circuit your brain because of that
Bring a towel, someone already mentioned nail clippers. I also keep hand sanitizer, and gold bond powder in my bag.
what the gold bond powder for? Better grip?
@@veilofreality nah sticky nuts
Is your meal just a ton of ground beef?
If you consider, when you put a dirty gi back in your gym bag and then putting a clean gi back in for the next class you make your clean gi dirty and can spread nasty stuff
"Non gmo" is a marketing tactic.
And here I thought you were going to say hot fries or hot Cheetos.
I bring two unis cus some gyms got uniform standards
This dude and I look alike, although his nose is much better looking than mine. Apparently BJJ was better to the face than boxing..
How do we ask questions for vids cuz I think I gots a good one
What is it?
Chewjitsu I sent it via email but here it is again in case you didn’t see it
Hey chewy I just wanna hear your take on what happened to me last night writting this down Now because I decided to sleep on it see what I thought.
So I’m a white belt with 3 stripes been training for more than a year and a half and I tap a few blue belts frequently and I was training yesterday in No Gi it came time for sparring and for the second round I decided to roll with this purple belt lady who always whoops my ass and when rolling we end up in a very wierd position don’t even know how to describe it but the jist is she trying to kneebar me but I’m on that knee so she can’t and I see her neck exposed and I think huh I wonder if this’ll work so I did a no Gi variation of the Baseball Bat choke didn’t think it would work though she’d get out of it but no she taps and at first im really confused wondering if it’s legit and she said ya it’s legit but was a neck crank but whatever I’d say it was pure luck if I’m being honest
But here’s the thing whenever I tap a blue belt I’m pretty happy and proud myself but when I tapped her I didn’t really feel satisfied i don’t know if it’s because it was just luck or if it was because it was a neck crank
Idk what’s your take on it
And surprise surprise no one saw me do it so I don’t want to go bringing it up in the gym cuz I don’t want to be THAT GUY
Thanks chewy
Regards
Don't forget finger nail trimmers and a file
Monkey tape is the shiznit.
Hey Chewy! I love you bro. But you should know those RXBars got sued into oblivion because their packaging lies. It's got added sugar, apple juice, & a bunch of other stuff in it that they don't list. They're still fighting it in court.
"Look into it"
Hey molly. I don’t eat rx bars much anymore.
Usually some other stuff I put in my bag now.
@@Chewjitsu omg you replied to me 😵
At around 12:00 Are you telling me they got stopped IN THE MIDDLE of a match? Bruh...Yeah, that sounds fishy.
" a tan and abit of an accent " hahaha fucking ded
Just sayin. . . ;)
Vertical Diet!!
i didnt think there were any regulations on gis in bjj. they look like nascar jumpsuits half the time.
I'm sorry but I had to laugh a little bit. It looks like he brought an entire picnic.
Wanna come have a picnic together? I've got everything we need. . . coconut water, foam rollers, therabands.
Kieran Makenji haha I bring everything as well. I bring my food stash and extra tape and gear.
