How do you do it?

I can roll like this with my buddies for 30min a roll, no injuries, no pains. You don't get locked up, you get out of your comfort zone and you try new moves. On my home home i'm not even sweaty, nothing hurts, i learn way more, and it's a wierd feeling like after a really intense meditation session.

This is my favourite rolling style for learning, to be honest. Once I can pull off a move, or setup what I want a few times, then I think about increasing the intensity. Our gym is very supportive of this too, which is very important.

Something even more helpful than this is to go at this speed, but never let the guy have anything. You can use all the strength you want, you go for subs, you don't give up position, but you only move at 10% speed. No explosiveness, no speeding up to defend or get position. The problem with flow rolling, while it is good for thinking about transitions, it tends to lead to sloppy technique and unrealistic responses.

Absolutely agree with this type of training, last year I broke my wrist in a car accident. My gym bros flow rolled with me for a month and then some after I took off my cast and that really helped me get back in the game

Glad you had a supportive team!

Seeing Chewy and Gary flow rolling really makes a stark contrast to the two behind them, no give and take at all

Thank you so much for that kimura escape detail, I've been getting caught in them too much lately

Love these narrated videos.

I encourage flow rolling all the time! Great exercise, great for technique and injury mitigation! Oss 🤙🏻

Its great not only to ease back in but also to see where you get certain aspects of ur roll up

The real OP

I am a blue belt working with a lot of new folks and trying to emphasize the importance of flow rolling and the benefits of flow rolling. Your videos showing a good flow roll with folks at different levels is really helpful to show folks why we can not and do not need to go 100% everyday. Thanks for the content.

Narrated rolls are the best learning tool I have found for sure

Awesome tips, as you said consistency more than short term intensity, to enjoy training more.

Love these kinds of videos !

Thanks for another great video Chewy!

This is also crucial for us white belts so we'd experience more and more transitions and eventually feel more natural with them, instead of just learning positions X and Y - but not how to end up in them. Beautiful roll, oss!

I think forcing us white belts into this style of rolling after a few months of experience would be such a blessing

Flow rolling is better for me. It allows you to keep going and apply the techniques.

Gary!

Hey Chewy, I love your videos man. Would you consider talking about other stuff outside of Jiu-Jitsu? I feel like you have a lot more to say about life and stuff like that, so it would be cool to hear!

I need that chew jitsu rashguard

Hey chew I have a question. Last year during a wrestling tournament I was in referee position. The opponent arm chopped my inner elbow and even now I can’t put pressure in certain positions. Do you have any advice? (Sorry for grammar English is not my first language)

Great video, my question is if your not green, but not great, say a blue belt, is this kind of rolling more beneficial, as it allows more flow, and more technical advancing as oppose to position holding, per roll? I’ve been feeing like all my rolls are very rigid and hard lately, after watching this I’m thinking I should be doing more of this. Thanks, Osss.

Not really. Depends on the person and the situation. If you're trying to get yourself ready for competition or trying to really sharpen your game. You'll need to go at a higher pace. But it can be good for shifting gears and going slowly to play with things a bit more. As I said in the video. It's great for recovery, coming back from injuries, etc.

2 questions: can I purchase one of those black and blue Chewjitsu rash guards? And does the guy sitting in the background have a Naruto rash guard on? 😀

I know you have talked about forearm in the neck being a dick move, well a lot of people at my gym are apparently that. Almost everyone at my gym uses a lot of forearms in the neck from side control and sometimes knee on belly, as well as shin/knee in the neck double knee ride stuff. I was wondering if you had any advice escaping the the forearm from those positions?

I really need to learn to flow roll, I wish I could do it

Chewjitsu yes well my problem is when I ask newer people to flow they flop. No one properly moves through the position. They give up the position and there are no proper mechanics being used. On the other hand there are people who don’t give up the position enough. Like they are not so much exchanging positions but rather fighting to always win. Just a short something would be nice. Thanks for the response and I love the videos

I noticed a guy and a gal rolling in the background. Im interested to know, is it considered rude to avoid or refuse to roll with ladies. Our club being a very small group, only about 8 guys and no gals yet. Im not against members of the opposite sex rolling , im just not comfortable with myself doing it. I just cant see myself manhandling (lack of a better expression) a woman, chokes and locks, i just cant get past it. I guess im just old fashioned, i know its a sport in addition to a self defense program. Is this a common feeling.

ApistoRod we have a few girls in our gym and it’s absolutely fine. It actually makes them more comfortable if you’re not overly cautious because otherwise it gets a bit awkward. One of the girls, who started training the same time I did, is a lot better than me anyway. The key is to find a balance between being aggressive and slightly playful. Don’t be patronisingly easy on girls. If you treat them like you do men, with just an awareness about the boob area then it’ll all be good

What I normally do is work on technique more than anything, if I have to force anything I’ll just let it go, it’s like the difference between opening a jar of pickles and a bottle of water, same motions, different levels, same outcome

Don't over think it. Girls want to train for sport and self defense. Depending on skill level and size differential, adjust your strength and pressure to find a good balance where you are both working during the roll. If you have similar skill, consider working on the technical aspects of your B game. You will get more out of it and your female partner will appreciate the fact that the entire roll didn't consist of surviving kimura attacks from side control.

This is a reasonable question. I know women who struggled to roll with men in the past. And I've had students who struggled training with women for the same reasons you mentioned. How long have you been training?

Plus, this could be good for PWD’s. These are people with disabilities.
