.....all while maintaining an amused smirk?.. ahh, yes... i, too, have had the honor, of being humbled enough by JT, to carry that healthy humility into my next several reincarnations. (loll) OSS my brother! i'm rejoining Essential in 7 months as a Brown.. this time around, vowing to train smart, adapt around injuries.. & put in the Elite level of work required to be considered worthy for the privilege.. & Honor of being promoted to Black Belt under Professor JT Torres .::. { just as i had promised JT, 15 years ago... ..after our first private in 2008/2009.. he said, "nice technique, man.. keep doin what you're doin, work hard, you'll get that black." i responded with, "'oh for sure bro! no rush on my end, ill get that Black Belt one day, i promise... ..but Only when it comes directly from you.." it was a super casual & very common post training exchange of kind words.. i just happened to have meant it with all my heart... ...Now is my time to return in early 2024 & keep my Promises... OSSSS!

Jt is so fluid that it looks like he isn't giving a lot of effort. I'm not meaning that in a bad way, but when you get to a certain level your game is so smooth. This is freaking art!

Art 👌👊

Been wrestling since 2003. Doing Jiu jitsu since 2007. I remember when JT got his black belt in 2009. I wanna say “look how good he is and wow look how much better he has gotten ,” but the truth is JT came out immediately after getting his black belt and was winning at the IBJJF level in the gi and out of the Gi. Also it’s so interesting to note JT’s style . And how it has changed . JT used to try to play the most modern games , but I can see now he’s reverted to high level basics . His grappling style is HEAVILY influenced by three major players I can easily distinguish similarities too. His passing game is very reminiscent of Ricardo arona , and also very much like Marcelo’s with the slices and heavy hips and misdirection side to side . His transitions from half guard to mount or front headlock to the back remind me so much of rodolfo and sometimes Marcelo. He threatens with the choke in many interesting situations to alleviate the need to scramble . He does this when chew goes for the single leg. He does it to take the back , and he does threaten the guillotine to force the north south but didn’t have the position to convert it to a choke . It’s no surprise whatsoever JT is so accomplished in the NoGi with such strong fundamental from the great masters . For a point of reference : Arona was 14-0 in Abu Dhabi and never had a point scored on him : incredible ! It’s also impressive that JT is what I call at will grappling here . He never needs to think here and it’s not because he’s just so much better. It’s just obvious that JT drills A LOT and he looks like he’s doing drills. I always say if Jiu jitsu , judo, and wrestling ever taught me anything it’s that the great guys don’t think, they just react. Saulo Ribiero says “if you think , you are late . If you are late , you muscle. If you muscle , you get tired. And if you get tired , that’s when you die .”

It’s magical once you start coming across high level like that. Sometimes I’ll take a break between rolls just to watch the high belts go at it

This also proves another thing and that is that you do not need to be an ADCC champ to be a great coach, motivator, BJJ analyst, and KZreadr to those who may one day be the next JT Torres. Yes, I'm talking about you, Chewjitsu. Respect.

He's got those floating hips and limp legs that make him almost impossible to sweep,it's like rolling with slime,when you try to lift him up with butterfly hooks only the legs are effected by the force and the rest of the weight just stays laying on top of you,it's art

Ive had the pleasure of rolling with him a few times, when he finally would drop in to our gym ( since he's ALWAYS) down the street getting food. | He's a freak of nature.. and its sooo amazing to actually feel what that level feels like. I mean I seriously put everything i had into rolling with him and i know Definitely understand how Krillin feels fighting Goku... By far one of the Greatest rolls i have ever had in my whole jiujitsu career and KNOW that i would get totally murdered again. I would NEVER pass up a chance to roll with him. The reaction time and understanding of every movement to come is bar none impossible to fathom. So when chewy says he feels It. Brother... I know EXACTLY what you mean!

I’ve had the pleasure of rolling with JT, and he is by far the best and most technical practitioner I have ever rolled with.

Love how humble you are Chewy. You’re a credit to the art. It’s amazing to watch these high level rolls. Thank you for sharing!

Amazing seeing this. It goes to show you how world class JT is.

JT looks like the perfect combination of poise, technique, strength and intelligence.

Love your humility. You’re amazing. Great job to you and JT.

This was absolutely incredible to watch.. I’ll watch this again and again because you can learn so much from that roll! Chewy respect man.. posting that shows how much you want us all to improve- inspiring stuff right there OSS 👊🏾

I won't call it a smashing. Chewy did well, his use of deep half did put JT in some interesting spots, however, I believe that since Chewy was put into a constant defense mode fatigue was a major factor in the match.

You guys are both pretty fucken incredible brutha. A lot of learning was had by all in that room that day; including TJ. Thank you so much for the footage.

Such humility to have someone come on your channel to "school" you, for a lack of a better term. Shows how learning NEVER stops. You're a great example! Thanks for the content! #whitebeltgrowth haha.

Whole world: yes, I got him back in my guard. JT: what's a guard.

Its humbling to see a guy like you, working through a flow roll, never giving up, always trying different sweeps, his "surfing" ability is on point. Great share Sir! Much respect. White Belt here.

chewy it's so great that you are posting this video, this just shows your absolute lack of ego. there's levels to this game, and even though you're both BB's, there are some BB's that are just friggin unreal. so many gems can be picked out from this video. thanks again.

Man I got so lucky to just find my way to JT’s gym as a white belt this year. Obviously he’s incredibly talented, but what a nice, genuine dude too...you can feel it everywhere at his gym...all the guys are training hard and helping everyone else learn. Been an absolute pleasure and can’t wait to get back on the mats when this virus passes.

Freaking incredible to watch. I’m a big fan of yours and I’m also a huge fan of JT. I really think people sleep on his technicality and accomplishments. He’s by far one of the most accomplished American grapplers on the planet and his technique is INCREDIBLE. His original instructional “passing, back takes and more” had an enormous influence on my game. Very humble of you to share this, even bigger fan now! Ossssss!!!

Thanks for sharing this so very much! You are both beasts!

This is such an inspiration video for begginers, because often they get smashed and watch all the high belts thinking how they are constantly mauling others and being the best. This just shows how you have no ego showing that even a black belt can get smashed and that there is always someone better. Its a great motivation to get back on the mat and keep on training, not every day can be the best and its all about enjoying the process.

You are both amazing! I really enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.

JT is the best in the world, I've been following him since he was a brown belt.

There's no shame in this, more importantly I'm sure you learned from this experience given your growth attitude and mindset. Thanks for posting and keep up with the awesome videos!

What a great roll. Very informative.

Thank you for sharing! You have a red belt in humility.

This roll is beautiful, honestly can say i learned a lot. You did a great job Chewy but JT is relentless. Even at 50% his ability to pass, his transition, his reactions. He really fine tuned the basics masterfully.

Nice video indeed...both are in great shape...and learning is never an ending process...thanks for sharing...cheers

I think you did great. He’s just one step ahead constantly. Must be super cool to feel that level. Ps many thanks for all the great movies, you seem to have a great gym with a cool community there. Keep up the great work.

Amazing to watch, seeing a highly skilled big guy against a smaller guy more than holding his own. Showing skill can win at such high level where both are incredibly knowagable.

Ive been under jt for about just over 3 years now and he is honestly incredible not only as an athlete but as a coach. He is nearly impossible to sweep or even get into a sweeping position. His ability to keep his hips low makes it impossible to get underneath them. His constant pressure wears you out to the point where all you can do is try to defend.
