Amazing... im subscribing!

Dude I just got my first stripe on my white belt during class today!! So ecstatic, I totally did not expect it.

Dude. Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to know. Just attended my first class. It was an open mat (lul) and I had no idea where to even begin. Now I'm looking forward to my next class and taking my first step in the right direction. A side note, while rolling before taking even 1 white belt class probably isn't wise, I'm glad I did. I survived and now know how would feel for your average guy off the street to be on the ground with someone with just 3 to 6 months of training.

Excellent. So many schools do not have this structural basics and simply go into submissions without teaching the structure. Thank you

49 year old just starting and this was the best video I’ve ever seen. My first class I felt like Ricky Bobby not knowing what to do with my hands and just tried to muscle my opponent. Gassed immediately. Thank you!

How did it go?

We have to learn to fail, before we learn to succeed! I love how much patience is needed in this sport!

First class Friday. Zero experience or knowledge. Did open mat with 3 blue belts and got owned. One was very technical and it wasn’t too painful to be put into submissions. The second guy was a big guy who relied more on weight and strength. I got choked hard by the second guy and felt like I had mono for the weekend. During the roll he asked what I was trying to do and i said i didn’t know… i was just trying to not get killed. I was probably more rough with him than i should have been as i don’t know how to not hurt people so I’m not surprised it got so rough. This vid gave me something to shoot for. Next time I’ll have a game plan…

Aged 54. Had my sixth class today. I'm looking forward to getting my black belt somewhere in my late seventies. 😁

Wow I’m on day 2 as of now at the Gracie academy team Mica and cuz I’m so new breaking guard was today’s focus then I watched this video and u guys said the same thing. Bjj is so addictive n legit n my only regret.... I didn’t start sooner

That was the most positive thing I've heard. Thanks so much! As the only woman in my class, your words were inspiring.

Hopefully you're still training. There are only a couple of girls in my gym and they're badass

Beginner here, and what you're saying about racing the guard against the clock makes perfect sense to me brother. Thank you for the video.

bottom line, just try to delay getting tapped out.

1 year into my white belt, and I can say this is exactly what I had to do to get myself through a lot of the rough spots. I was the newest guy at my gym for a long time so I just started setting small goals for myself and they built on each other. Now I can roll with upper white belts and blue belts and at least be competitive and not get subbed every 30 seconds. Thanks for all your vids, they’ve been awesome for my mental state to stay consistent with training

I love the talks chewy. This is almost a podcast at times. Jiu-jitsu talk with Chewy.

I'm a 51 year old guy , had my first class yesterday. I'm sore but liking it. Back this evening for a nogi session. I was a winner by just signing up.

I had my first BJJ class this am. We drilled a couple north south positions and then had some open rolls starting with what we learned. It was a great experience.

I'm looking into starting BJJ after doing kickboxing for 6 years and these videos chewy are unreal thank you so much for your content already before doing BJJ I find it so helpful

Thanks. Focus on maintaining guard. Go for submissions but if looks like failure, abandon submission and get back to guard. ❤

Thank you so much 🙏 Just startet my first steps on this life long journey- and good advice is worth gold!

Four months in and I have one stripe. I get worked every class buy I keep coming back for the fun of bjj. As a white belt your job is to survive!

Honestly, my biggest problem with BJJ when I started training it was that I was immideatly thrown into sparring when I didn't really know ANY techniques. They just pretty much showed me the mount and side control and a couple of other positions, and then they were choking me out left right and center. Of course, this might vary a lot in different clubs but still. I just felt like I came there week after week to get my ass kicked, and not really to learn much new. When I started doing MMA and Muay Thai on the other hand I felt like I had proper time to focus on the tehcniques first before I started to spar. That didn't mean that I still wouldn't get my ass kicked a lot, but then I at least had a honest chance to defend myself and try some techniques myself. When it came to BJJ I didn't feel I could do that because i literally didn't know a single submission and hardly anything else either, and still they just excpected me to spar with blue to black belts and get choked out constantly and it just wasn't an enjoyable experience.

Well this may be late but your situation is what was in my mind exactly when i wanted to train so here what to do.. Grappling require strength so if you are strong you can survive so don't play with bigger opponent ever.. Secondly nvr play with non white belt which mean Blue and above .. If you always face this maybe change gym as a proper Bjj gym should offer 2 to 3 type of classes beginner , intermediate and High so go to beginner and when you spar try to survive focus on your moves and what you learn and avoid sparing more than twice a week if you go to the class let say 4 times so 2 of 4 spar and other 2 days catch some one who shows you what to do when you spar " If there are good guys "

@@alb3tal I think this might vary from gym to gym. The place I join has a "standard syllabus" that rotates restarts every 3-4 months and every lesson there is sparring.I always go with people who are colored belts and after the ass kicking I'd ask them what to do in the situation, how do I reverse a mount, where to position my hands when I am in a mount. To be fair, people here are really friendly and would love to stay behind to help. Oh and if you let them know its your first or second week here, they are generally quite gentle with you. I sometimes avoid certain white belts as they are sometimes overly aggressive and the new guy is the only one they can pull off submissions on :x

Oh, you should have tried one of the Gracie Barra Team

I am a Muay Thai student. One time the gym had a free wrestling class. All the ju jitsu dudes were in there. I had never grappled before. Those were some of the most intense fights I've ever had. Ran out of energy so quickly. I haven't grappled since but one day I wanna learn the art. So beautiful and so effective.

Probably the most important thing is stop when someone taps. It's not a signal to choke them harder. You don't get extra points for putting your training partners in the hospital. We're on the same team.

Just had my first lesson. So much fun. Can't wait for my next lesson.

Super helpful! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!!

Thanks for this vid mate, Im a month in and a lot of these techniques are helping me a lot to last longer and also gives me a bit of time to get back a bit of energy in the fight. Still get beaten up but my partner has to work for it a bit longer

Just did my 7th class of no GI Just been trying to hold on and learn how to breathe while getting tapped left and right but iv slowly been holding on longer and longer!

Today was my 8th or 9th class and I had my fifth ever roll against a blue belt. He tapped me multiple times (as expected I dont expect to win period in jiu jitsu), but at one point he was letting me work a bit and I saw and took the opportunity for a baseball cross choke, which I learned the first class. It didnt work because I didnt the technique quite down and he tucked his chin really well, then he got control ofc, but he told me it was a good idea. That is the first time ive not completely got my ass handed to me in every single interaction. For a brief few moments at least but, im so proud of it. Yes he was probably letting me work a decent bit and didnt expect me to even know that choke but I was still pretty happy about it

Love the advice! Good tips and very articulate :-)

22,first bjj class tmr .im excited af, no expectations for myself just ready for the experience

Thanks for this! Great video lots of good tips for the beginner

Love this guy. You explain things so well nice one 🤩

Everyone said it, but I didn’t get it until I got into purple. Ya, I miss the white belt days. Purple (and blue, I guess) has a huge amount of enjoyment but white is just different.

So true. Getting submitted is part of the learning experience.

Thank you for this. I've only done a few classes and the only real move i've learned when someone is in my guard is the scissor sweep. So I decided to try holding my opponent in my guard for as long as I could, like you said. Well after about 30 seconds he went to stand and I used my only move to sweep him to full mount. At this level that's my first win while sparring. It felt much less overwhelming to have a plan.( I don't know if its the same everywhere, but where I train, white belts without a stripe can only move to a dominant position, no submissions. I assume this is to reduce the risk of injury from people who basically have no clue what they're doing, like me 😊)

Great video brother!

Had my first class not too long ago and ended the class feeling like I was going to pass out. Had to crouch on my toes instead of stand for coaches last speech- absolutely loved it though 👊🏽

some remarks from my side (38 yrs old, couple of months of training) 1. know yourself and adjust training consistency to it (2-3 times/week for me - more is just too exhaustive). 2. keep your ego in the car - being submitted all the time is not nice but most of white belts had to go through it exactly the same 3. try to make most of your mat time - listen, ask, concentrate, focus on technique 4. define why are you doing jiu jitsu - for me - self defense and exercise. Thus it is normal that someone focusing on competing will probably get better (trains more) and will be "much more motivated to win" on the mat. I have experience from other martial arts / self defense systems - and I learned that people who can fight and train regularly are not the ones who would attack you on the street. So meaning that, I do not have to be black belt to be able to defend myself against attacker. The best defense is to run, fight is the last resort as there are sooo many risks and things that can happen... And I am sure BJJ instructors teach that too :)

I started traing at Rogue Combat club and these video's have really helped me! Many MAHALO'S brother!

bro this is a great video. i just started yesterday so this really helps

Yeah I got subbed over and over obviously didn’t manage to sub anyone else but I still enjoyed the lesson and now looking forward to the next one
