Why I Quit MMA, Cutting Weight in BJJ, My Chipped Tooth - 8 Questions With Chewy
Спорт
So I get a lot of questions that are either really short and don't require a full on Chewy ramble, or they aren't Brazilian Jiu-jitsu related at all! Some of them are even kind of funny.
So what I wanted to do is take a few minutes and have fun with you.
In this video I answer 8 short questions.
Here are the questions. . .
1. Is it a green screen behind me in my Chewy ramble videos?
2. How did I get my chipped tooth?
3.What kind of music do I like to roll to?
4. Why did I quit MMA?
5. Do I sell Chewjitsu T Shirts
6.Do I cut weight for BJJ tournaments?
7. What are my favorite BJJ tournament medals?
8. How did I get my nickname in BJJ?
I hope you enjoyed the video. I know it's different than the normal Chewjitsu content.
See you soon with more Brazilian Jiujitsu content coming up!
Thanks for watching!

I relate to the quitting MMA thing. I did kickboxing for 2 years, won my first amateur fight, went into MMA, and one day in sparring just go knocked out. Was bad for a few days after getting confused and forgetting shit. Sparred a couple weeks later and got rocked with a fairly light shot. Asked myself the same questions you did. Gone into Judo now.

Judo isn't that great for concussions either.
If you fix your tooth I'm gonna follow you for days, find out what your favourite food is, and then one day you're gonna walk outside your front door and see that specific food item sitting on your doorstep. You'll bite into it, but you realize too late that it's actually a brick painted like your favourite food, and now instead of having one messed up tooth, you'll have no teeth at all

The best laugh about jiujitsu I've ever had was in a book called "Jiujitsu on the brain" where the author said, "Wear a mouth guard.... unless you want your mouth to look like a game of tetris." It's all good Chewy, keep droppin' that knowledge, we don't care what your teeth look like.

Thanks for mentioning something about cutting weight. I'm a 42 years old Purple belt. Training out of Gracie Barra in Chino California. One of my sons is 13 years old. Were both going to compete on October 5th in the Gracie Barra world Summit 2019 competition. I'm currently 208 pounds. I wasn't sure if I should stick to the this weight or try to cut down to 195. I used to compete a lot when I 1st started training and actually did well, placed in all except 1. I used to weigh about 270+. The last time I competed I weighed in at 165. I felt a little faster. But I noticed I was lacking in strength. So, I think sticking to this weight I would feel a little more comfortable, stronger and can concentrate more on training and less on cutting. Anyway, what you said reminded me of my past mistakes and the way I would push myself. So thank you, I appreciate your advice.
Looks cool and adds character to your channel bro
Can you Whistle out that thing? Lol love your Chanel! Just waiting for those grey gi pre order
You're awesome the way you are Chewie, don't change a thing.

Cool vid, bro. Good entertainment! Well done.
Your chipped tooth looks badass honest my dude!💪 Awesome videos too👏👏👍
Gap in your smile is so big, I don't know if I should smile back or kick a field goal. Lol. I also happen to have a chip on the same tooth you do. I had to wait a weekend to get it fixed and the boys on my brother's baseball team kept telling me that joke. Looking back, it's hilarious. I did get a partial permanent cap put on mine as the root was exposed. It's made for some very interesting jiu-jitsu moments all because I'm always looking out for my mouth. Leave your teeth, it's a hassle to keep up with the cover ups, especially if you're a coffee drinker like I am. Thanks for the fun video!

Keep the jacked up tooth bro! You wouldn't be you without it
Just be yourself chewy, everybody has flaws, no matter how big, or small they may be, my teeth are in pretty bad, and it doesn’t matter to me and neither the people I care about, and. That’s all that matters. You’re doing an amazing thing here man, I’ve been in a really bad place in my life, I’ve always been interested in mma and fighting, then my life went down a really bad path for a long time, drugs, crime, violent, terrible things, and recently lost custody of my only son, but I’ve been watching you’re videos and it’s gotten me to want to start putting my life in order, and even to get back into mma, more exclusively, BJJ, I feel like it will give me some structure in my life, something that I also happen to love, I don’t make very much and the only legitimate Bjj class I could find was around an hour long drive, because there’s only like “ninja academy’s” and other fake mma around my area, I’d just like to ask if you have any words of wisdom for me, like, do you think it would be worth it?
You’re a martial artist named Chewy... the tooth adds character. Shit im a striker rarely grapple but i love your videos haha
Dude my sisters name is Faith. I have been watching your videos for a while now. Love em!
The type of music definitely changes the mood in the gym
I love Chews sense of humor. He loves his gym so much he made the gym a part of him by matching the left side mats with his bottom teeth :')
If you took the Adirondack mountains and flipped them upside down, that is the line that your teeth make.
I'm a DMD, MD facial surgeon. If you're seeing your dentist regularly and your chipped tooth doesn't have any sharp edges that cut your tongue or lip and the chip is not getting worse, "knock yourself out", do what ever feels good to you :-) I have a front tooth that was hit when I wrestled back in the day that eventually needed a root canal, but it's still hanging in there. Best to you!
I'm glad you said your age at the end because every time you say something that reveals your age, I totally relate to it. So I was curious how close in age we are.
Man, Chewy.... I for the longest time I was wondering where you were located..... Then you smiled and I knew. LOL. j/k. You rock man!!

Keep the chip!! I'm a fellow chippee in Australia 👍
I had the exact same chipped tooth! I was a competitive freestyle skiier and on a training day a friend and I were skiing the cliffs off Fraggle Rock at Blackcomb. I dropped 20+ feet right into a well-hidden bomb hole, dead stop, chin into my knee, pulverized my tooth and made a hell of a bloody mess. By the time I skiied myself to the First Aid hut my nice new team jacket was DRENCHED red with blood. Shitty shitty day.
Hey...I'm a 45 year old guy... finally getting my first BBJ lesson next week.. thanks for giving me the inspiration to finally act on something I wanted to do for a couple of years now... BTW check out the podcast hardcore history, with Dan Carlin.. I think you will love it... Great angels and narration...
wow hes very good at editing these greenscreen videos, almost got me
Your tooth could be fixed with a full jacket porcelain crown(not a veneer). That would allow you to not need to wear a guard that is supposed to protect a "Filling" from chipping again which is common for Anterior Incisal restored tooth. The crown would be the best long time solution that would secure your tooths appearance for the future.
With that razor tooth you never have issues severing a loose gi thread or ripping open a bag of cereal, and it’s always ready for a knife fight! Fellow KY guy, btw. :)
Ur chipped tooth is a part of you now! Keep it!
Fair enough on the MMA point. I felt the same way with boxing. I think a lot of people stay in because they feel they want to impress people.
Hahaha i love the way you point out that there is a Ambulance coming by
I agree with you on the leaving MMA part, I am a former professional MMA fighter (3 pro fights) and I left it to start Gi BJJ. My heart wasn't in it and I always loved grappling. Now after a year and half I am a purple belt and compete regularly. I am so happy I made the move and my quality of life is much better training Gi then getting punched in the face everyday. Thanks for the great videos!!

You the man bro
Both my front teeth are chipped, and they happened on separate occasions! I was a kid when that happened but it’s so weird because nobody really notices... I actually often get complimented on my smile!
Yep I have one chip , and one on the rear side broke off. Both came from mma/ wrestling etc. Wear A Mouthguard.. If it don’t bother you I wouldn’t worry about it. I too have had it repaired only re- damaged from grappling...👍
My teeth are all chipped up from dumb shit when I was young. Used to be Self-conscious about it. Not now but it’s cool to see you saying what I wished I’d learned when I was younger. Lol.
Question here. You talked about the semi loss of vision you had, or the blue spot. I have gotten the same spot a few times after MMA class (sometimes after a hard BJJ class). Not sure if this means I should stop training? or fighting? Or just have it checked out (again)? Any advice would be helpfull?
The chipped tooth is no big deal and I agree with ya, I wouldn't want to be rolling with annoying MOUTHGUARD forever. It's part of your brand and cool. Keep doing you. OSS !
Chewie- I’m a dentist and I did wonder why you never had the tooth fixed. I wouldn’t make fun of you though because you seem like way too much of an awesome genuine guy who really cares about his students and even the people you’ve never met who watch your videos. For the record, though, if you fixed your tooth you could get a custom made mouth guard from just about any dentist, clear or in your favorite colors, and it would fit so well you could talk and drink with it, and breath well too. Not very bulky at all. That’s what I wear when I spar. I’d make you one if you were ever out towards Western North Carolina. Only thumbs up from me !
Land before time was my jam back in the day.
Bob marley is one of the greatest. I know your an awsome dude because only the coolest and caring people appreciate that kind of music 💪💪💪

It’s funny. I was a very competitive bowler (qualified for the Jr Olympic team in 2002). One of the guys I bowled with was called “Rhino”. He’s a pro bowler now, still under than name. His real name is Ryan, but he won’t answer either because he’s so used to “Rhino”! 😁👍
I'm not sure if it is me, but your video keeps turning green. Not sure what's going on there. I love your videos!
Don't fix it. You gotta love training with a teacher who can laugh at him/her self and not take offense even when it may be given as one. I love your videos.
Dear Chewie, please get Your tooth fixed, there are so many reasons to do so: Of course it might become part of Your "brand" to have a chipped tooth, on the other hand fixing it and having a healthy smile is a sign of caring about Your own body. The same way You train in order to improve your overall fitness and health, because it's an easy and fun thing to do, you should get your tooth fixed for the sake of (literally) keeping up your good shape. Thanks for the amazing videos, they really help a lot (=
In regards to your tooth, similarly I have a bump on my head (runs in the family). People ask about it and I say: “yeah I was in a motorcycle crash and they had to bolt my head back together.” Motorcycle crashes seem to be cool.

On the music topic, if you want a harder beat but still allot of motivational kinda music, I recommend Delete ft Deetox - Unstoppable, really good track for going for it but still a good mind set
thats interesting about the music, now i know why my instructor plays country music during open mat
Really good CGI pylon throwing on the green screen there
It would be awesome if you did a video on only cutting for competition! :)
Keep it as is. The chipped tooth adds to the Chewie "character"!
With the land before time theme, if you leave your tooth alone you can be a sharptooth 😄
Get the chipped tooth bonded. It doesn't cost more than a filling and looks perfect. Dentist prefers caps because more expensive but bonding holds fine.
Fix it or don't, your mouth right? 😉 however, I never found a nice fitting mouthguard until I tried sisu's mouthguards. They really have such a small profile you hardly notice them at all. The thing is, even if you don't care about your current chip there can be more and unprotected teeth are kinda sharp....anywho, keep on being cool and thanks for all the great vids chewy
