I was laughing every time you said "My name is Asher and I get my guard passed."

The value with every video is insane. You learn so much from just watching the video. Still you'll have to apply these concepts if you want to grow. Keep it up Chewie!! 💪❤🔥

I don’t need the inner voice. My coach is up in my ear “why are you stopping. Keep going! You’re not tired, stop acting like it” 😅 it’s nice

Watching this made me realize I do this every time I feel my guard getting passed. I can't wait to apply this advice. Thanks

Damn that hit me so hard. It's so damn true Im just there and I think "well, I may let them pass guard then I will rework it from there". Thank you for the tip. Very insightful.

I do something similar but with takedowns. I constantly tell myself that I don’t know any takedowns and I’m not good at them. But the truth is I actually know several, and I just need to drill them a lot more and become confident. Thanks for the reminder not to defeat myself.

I've heard firearms instructors say the same thing, it takes a minimum 1,000 reps to master one move

Wow Chewy fantastic. So inspiring. Need more specific training like you said and man, what an attitude change you just gave me!

On point bro. Thank you for another great advice. Looking forward to wearing your rashguard!!

These videos are always so timely. My guard sucks, I'll fight harder.

Awesome to meet you today at Ego. Thanks for all the videos!

Chewy i was so close bevore to send you a simular question. My inner voice speaks to me and tell me when im stuck in a realy bad spot " okay just let them submitt you and start again" and it sucked to was/be that weak... but damn bro i will fight ! love your channel much respect oss

Love this guy. So generous sharing his advice. Really helpful. I'm at 5 months in and I'm just trying to concentrate on breathing, relaxing, trying to like being on bottom (???) but moving enough to breath, keeping tight contact with uke. I'm finding the submissions are starting to follow naturally.

Brilliant advice!

I love playing from the guard and this exact thing happens to me. I am so glad that I am not the only one!!

Great video and advice

Totally help thanks , it’s really a mental thing !

Needed to hear this today...OSS

3:20 sums up my guard play right now. I'm gonna fix this

Thanks from a blue belt who was listening to that voice! I have also decided to just focus on that advice your instructor gave you. Keenan also had similar advice about focusing on only one aspect of the game. That is quite simplified, but if you look up "BJJ Digest: Keenan Gives Best Advice On How To Improve Jiu Jitsu" is where I heard it from. So great minds think alike and thanks for all the awesome content Chewy!

Love your video!!

I think it’s also important to realize that when you start Jiu Jitsu your guard is going to suck for several years. It’s probably the most difficult aspect to develop

I had too many of those exhaustive "Fine, guess I'm here" moments in my recent competition. Not going to compete again until I change that attitude.

I love ur vids

Thanks Chewy.

Good video thank you

Thanks!

Hey Chewie: Brandon , from Edmonton Canada. I train at Straight Blast and I'm a white belt. I've been doing jujitsu for about five months now and I really enjoy everything about it. I recently learned how to scissor sweep without getting leglocked (sweet). I was wondering if you had any advise on how to cut down on the foot cramps . When I sit in someones guard for an hour or so I get killer cramps in my instep/big toe and I have to interrupt my partner mid drill sometimes due to the shock of it. Wondering if you have any tips on how I could lower the frequency or severity of said cramps . I don't like shorting my partner his reps. One Tribe !

1. Stay hydrated 2. Eat banana's I've gotten cramps and every time it has been from dehydration. Also everyone I've asked has mentioned banana's because of the potassium they provide. There are also ways to lessen the cramp once it begins that I can't remember off the top of my head. I haven't gotten one since though.

tom durst Thanks for the tip. I'm usually hydrated and I eat at least two banana a day tho :P

Brandon Harris hmmm then I guess it’s something completely different. I know that creatine can cause cramps if you’re taking any. Otherwise try stretching your toes.

I used to get cramps because I wasn't relaxed enough. If you're hydrated and eating bananas I would be willing to bet it's because you're tensing up.

Lucas King Thanks man. I'll try my best to stay relaxed when sitting in guard. I'm definatly not lose the whole time that's for sure. I'll work on it.

I gotta get my legs in front of him.

Awesome

In my 4th week, my guard retention is probably my best skill. Not saying much, but even bigger guys at the same leveln have trouble. But my weakness is cardio, in that after an intense back and forth of pass attempts and defending i get absolutely winded for the rest of the match

The more I practice bjj the more I realize it's more of a mental game than physical

Great vid again. How do I submit a question?

Hey chewy I'm a 21 year old male with cerebral palsy I was wondering how possible it would be for me to learn BJJ if you have any experience with dealing with people with disabilities learning BJJ thank you and have a nice day

Cassidy T thank you it's very nice to know that there's someone else in my position where do you train how much are you able to train and what positions do you personally struggle with do to your disability I'm curious I feel as if I wouldn't be able to fully perform full guard or the ability to set up a triangle thank you very much and have a nice day if you have any more feedback I'm very much like to hear it

I think the beauty of BJJ is you don't have to use very tool in the box, use what you know you can use.

sucks at first because you struggle with or "lose" to people you knew you can beat if you play your preferred game. That's why they say leave your ego at the door i guess.

thats actually not may problem :D i gust gave up a lot if someone passed my guard and be like "oh, he is too big, what should i do", have to fight more to not get tapped and maybe one day escape

Pro tip: "Don't be a bit*h" I love it :)

I can literally hold my guard for much as i want against anyone in sport bjj but that is not good to be honest my grip suffers from it a lot and it is boring cus there is just constant doing nothing almost just the same wothout change of position. But deff worst is my fingers are fucked and the submissions which i like aren't from guard anyway -.-

Difference was yuge
