AND WASH YOUR DAMN GI!

I’ve got pretty weak lungs and mount was always a bit terrifying to me in the beginning. I basically did what Chewy is saying. I also found that if I slightly bridged (one or two inches) I got enough pressure off of my lungs enough to be able to breath in mount no matter how the pressure was coming down. That allowed me to chill and think.

Greg Churchley thank you!!

Great video as always, being able to breathe and avoid panic is so important both on and off the mats.

The key I think is... Don't try to get out at all when you're working through this mental aspect. When I started, I would waste energy, get frustrated, and panic every time I tried to escape with bad technique and couldn't. If you convince your brain that the goal isn't to get out, but just to relax, it's much easier. Make a mental note of what you should be doing to escape, but make the choice to be defensive and stay where you are. A few weeks with this approach and you can beat that claustrophobic feeling very quickly.

Thank you!!! I also have asthma. But I think I just have to practice to relax and not squirm. But rather think and do some hip bumps. It still happens against really big dudes. But thank you!!

Damn I was at the dentist the other day and no matter the pain I just pictured myself on the mats in terrible positions. It was then I realised the mats are my happy place my mind goes.

Comfortable in the uncomfortable...just what I needed to hear today...Thanks Brother!

Thanks for the tips 👍🏻

Great advise...as always.

Good content as always Chewy

You're writing a book!!! I can't wait!

Excellent advice!

Thank you for this input. I experienced the push->extend->arm bar about 6 times yesterday at open mat. My White Belt Heart thanks you so much.

Superb advice as ever.

This is the issue I'm also having. Great way to think about it. Should help me a lot.

Your awesome Bruh. Appreciate the advice. Useful for all white belts.

Just got a corneal abrasion from an untrimmed nail. 4 days later and nothing but fuzz out of my left eye. Thanks for spreading the nail code!

Thanks so much for this video I am like this in side controls and mount. Again thanks 🙏🏿

Nothing has ever made this much sense before!! You are the best, Chewie!! Someday i wish meet you personaly and do a training with you! Congratulations for your channel and the content you spread with that! Oss

Thanks brother. Hopefully we'll cross paths on the mats someday in the future.

One of the senior brown belts at my school has been taking me the same advice. I'm brand new at this, but I'll never quit as I'm scared. To quit from fear is to become its prisoner.

Fantastic, real advice, as always in a Chewy video..

Just started training BJJ and trying to survive sparring. Appreciate this advice.

My hips tire quickly and don't have much reserve strength, so I've learned to bring my feet up close to my hips to help hold a slight bridge. This gives me some of that breathing room and time to work.

Dude that beat in the beginning is dope

Dig the advise 👍🏿

Great advice as always, having a heavier person on me i try really hard to escape but often run out of oxygen!

Where do we submit questions for this video chewy?

I’m 38 and I finally broke the anxiety and started jitsu. What you just said literally make a click noise in my head. I started doing some private lessons because I felt like I was holding people back (even though everyone is super patient and willing to teach) and wanted be a better training partner. I rolled for the 1st time after about 4 hours of open classes ( 3 weeks due to my own schedule) and was asked to roll to see how I move. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in an uncomfortable position where I felt helpless. I like to think I’m in decent shape and have ok cardio but after being put in just pressure like positions, I felt myself gassing out quick. I was relying on my strength to push and pull and it wasn’t getting anywhere. I tapped 4 or 5 times to just pressure because I couldn’t breath. Now I understand it was because I was in an uncomfortable position and panicking causing myself to hyperventilate because I was uncomfortable. Such a basic statement but crazy how it just clicked with me. Thank and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Slickcow 101 very limited wresting no BJJ other then messing around with friends. At this point I’ve only got about 6 classes (1 1.3 hour each) on the books. I like to think I’m progressing on the drills we’ve been practicing. I find myself day dreaming the drills in my head the following day and looming forward to doing them again. It’s been a while since I’ve found something that’s grasped my full attention like this has. This coming Monday I have a private with the coach and a pretty big blue belt. I talked with him about feeling uncomfortable under the pressure of weight so I’d imagine some rolling with him should help knock out that anxiety lol

its true, you gotta embrace the panic and the pressure. you are not gonna die from that so just stay calm, same thing happened to me when i got my back taken, i was panicking a lot and when someone got a not so good choke i would tap immediately, now when someone takes my back i stay calm and when someone chokes me i put up with it a tad and try to find a way to get out of it and i do so.

1:58 Relieving to know that a high level black belt tapped just to pressure at one time also

Get comfortable being uncomfortable. My teacher, Professor Michael Geary, said "Brian you have to play with being uncomfortable on the bottom." I can not lie. It's terrifying, but I'm very new. Literally 5 weeks in.

Guess I'll trim then now, while I watch the video.... lol thanks for the callout coach!🤣

Tnx

Yes, I would agree here. Being the guy who panics when mounted will not help you. Once you get over it, then you can start thinking about that upa.....which is all timing.

Thank God for being an entrepreneur

Much of the problem could be the coach telling him to force an escape. Many gyms use lower belts as training dummies. I am not saying this is the situation in this case, but many gyms roll like this. Very glad I started my training over 10 years ago under a great coach who trained directly with Royce, Rorion, and the rest. The focus is always defending first.

I needed this viideo... first day rolling with more experianced peopole wrestled for years.. but i feel useless against them guys .. i tapped 4x to pressure today ... guy was 280 iam 230 ... IDK just different

If I'm mounted, I tend to arm frame at the opponents hips to not let them mount higher (whilst also intentionally leaving my neck open for bait). Once the opponent goes for the neck (as it's too tempting for most people!) quickly bridge whilst they have no posts, and its amazing how often this works. 👍🏻

@@ShortGirlsClimbCounters If they're ending up higher on your chest after bridging, I'd perhaps suggest your bridging needs a little fine tuning. If your heels are to bum (to give you maximum explosing) and you're timing the actual bridge (the rotation of your body onto one shoulder), the person on mount will either have to post using a hand or take the roll. If they post, immediately grab the wrist of the hand that's posting, and pull to disengage that post.. Now YOU have wrist control. Hold on to the wrist and re-bridge in that same direction. :-)

You've done a video on people not feeling worthy of their blue belt. I'm on the other side of the scenario. I'm a white belt and I beat blues quite regularly with little effort. I sometimes feel really bad for them so I go easier. I know that's not healthy training for me or them to improve, but I'd love to hear your opinion why. Thank you and love your videos!

You need to go to a diff gym if your tapping blue belts effortlessly that mean that school is just giving belts away

Make a video on the baratoplata and how to finish it please because there isn't any on how to cleanly finish it on youtube

Chewjitsu: I just watched your Japanese vs BJJ for self defense video. How about pulling a Dave Camarillo and doing both judo and BJJ, but specifically for self defense and not necessarily giving a shit about tournaments? I feel like for self defense purposes getting the takedown is crucial and it seems like judo is a vital missing link for achieving that.

This principle is the same as falling through ice on a lake. If you panic, your heartrate goes up which means you can't breathe which means you can't think which causes more panic. If you relax, you can hold your breath longer and compose yourself to get out of the bad situation.

I've trained for almost 2 years and I'd say 80% of the times I tap it's of not being able to breath and I get that panicky feeling of claustrophobia.

What would you recommend doing during this shut down? They closed all the gyms in my area because of covid. Are there drills or anything I could do while waiting for the gyms to open?

@Chewjitsu

Keep your body in shape, movement drills, lifting or bodyweight stuff, running, biking. An in shape body will get back to BJJ better than an out of shape body.

Chewy is the type of guy that can punch me in the face for no reason, and i would apologize for getting in the way of his fist 👊

@CHEWY What should I do if the person who has me mounted (60 pounds heavier) doesn't look to submit? I get with the same partner who's been training for multiple years while I only have a couple months and all the time when he gets mount he will just lay there on top of me until the timer goes off. Sometimes I feel obligated to keep trying to escape and end up burning energy because if not, nothing will happen. Any advice?

What's something you wish he'd do (or would've done in case you don't train with him anymore)? I'm a new white belt and I don't know any submissions but I often sit and think about what my next move is while my training partner is under me. I don't mean to do this so that's pretty much why I'd ask you as someone who's had to deal with it

Hey Chewy, how do I submit a question to you for a video that I think would help out myself and many others?

The one thumb down is someone that taps from shoulder pressure once a week

I bridge and roll, bridge and roll, bridge and roll.

I think I'm too comfortable in full mount... I am completely confident I can get out if that. Top half guard. Terrified I will lose it.

I don't have time to watch the video, but from the thumbnail I gather that if I'm stuck in mount I should poke the guy in the eye. Got it! 🤨👉😫

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself these things: 1. Breath 2. Get those damn hips up.

Subconjunctival hemorrhage.. takes 10 days to resolve. No charge

I must admit that often times when I'm in bottom mount position and I'm panicking, I intentionally give the partner my arm because it's easier to escape an armbar attempt rather thank feel the claustrophobia of the mount, especially in the gi. I practice my mount escapes against smaller guys

"The first thing to do in an emergency is take your own pulse."

Clicked the video just so youtube stops showing me that thumbnail.

trim nails, wear protective goggles, ankle, knee, elbow and wrist supports and head gear, plus gum shield before rolling.

Usually training with the teacher and very advanced belts is a good way to learn if you are very new. They have plenty of self-control, so they shouldn't submit you constantly which means you can train/roll for more time. Also, I think you're pretty big for only 14. For reference I'm 170cm and 62kg.
