_The best exercise plan is one you can stick to long term_ While I agree with this, high dropout rates in BJJ mean that it's not a great long term exercise system for most people.

Been doing jiu jitsu for some months now. And I can verify, that I have in fact gotten ripped on it. ...ripped apart that is

I'm fatter than ever. Maybe I should stop using BJJ as an excuse to pig out at 9:30pm after a training session.

I’ve given this advice to people who want to lose weight before, just wanting to lose weight and look better is a harder goal to work toward psychologically than improving at a skill, as the seratonin and satisfaction gained from the skill is greater than, etc. It’s a lot easier to think I want to get better at boxing for example and have your workouts pointing towards that, and the other results you wanted will come with it!

Used to take TKD back in my teens so I figured why not take myself back to those days… but with Jiu Jitsu 😏

Bjj 3 to 4 days a week coupled with trying to cut my carb in take in half has let me drop 40 lbs. Down to 238 from 285. It's taken 3 years but it has definitely worked.

I'm 41 years old, started Jiujitsu 6 month ago 86kg (190 pounds) 1.77cm (5'10) with a body fat of 23%. Today I am at 73.5kg (162 pounds) with 14.6% body fat; Training 2 to 3 times a week Jiujitsu! My favourite part is rolling, my cardio has improved drastically from day 1. This martial art led me to do other things in my life such as eating healthier 6 days out of 7 so I have 1 cheating day which gives me balance with craving. This led me to more positive personal events such as walking daily 15000 steps on average.The best part is that it become easy because you see quick results. My next step is competing, I will have my first competition in April 2022. I look forward to feel that rush of rolling against an unknown human being, this will bring my brain to another level. I will do Jiujitsu until I have no more arms or legs :) Ossss!!!!

Idk if Im ripped but I definitely leaned out and LOOK a bit more ripped

I've been doing BJJ for 2 years now on and off with Covid lockdowns but constant since May 2021. 5 days a week every week. I'm 38 and in the shape of my life. I'm addicted to training and the really good way of life that BJJ brings. It's easy to turn up everyday when you enjoy something so much and I'm looking in shape

This was exactly me, lost 10 lbs immediately, started only drinking on the weekends, gave keto a shot, and I've lost almost 30 lbs so far. #feelsgoodman. Love your stuff Chewie!

The conditioning is fantastic. For me, having a game to apply fitness to makes the goals more realistic and motivating. You're forced to look at your diet and caloric intake too; sometimes when you make adjustments, you can often see direct results. Beautiful cycle, especially because you have a team / community to build you up as well.

Yep, agree 100% there. BJJ is the funnest form of exercise I’ve ever done.

Thanks Chewy!!! OSS. 🤙

I got started with Jiu Jitsu because I found the Gracie diet. I know some people don’t like it but it was great for me, lost a lot of weight, had more energy and discovered a new martial art.

Exactly what happened to me. I quit smoking cigarettes after 15 years for bjj. I cut out soda and started eating better. I was always "skinny fat" at 218 pounds. I'm currently 188 and feel pretty good. It's not easy, but it has changed me for the better.

Completely get it, I was really in shape in my early 20s and boxed and was admittedly ripped! But then had some injuries and pretty much slacked off from 26-33! Started BJJ about 3 months ago and rapidly getting back in shape. Beer consumption goes down, back into supplementing my BJJ with other training that I used to do running sprints ect ect and generally more motivated than I have been for a long time! Long May it continue 🤙

I 100% agree with this and have experienced this.

Thing is - when I train I can't eat 4-5 hours before training - or the food will later end up on the mat. That leads to a much more structured day. As soon as I can't train, I start eating all the time. Like during this never ending German lock-down.

How you get on?

Tbh any martial help will help so much physically and mentally

Funny thing is, this was the main reason i started BJJ. Had been lifting for years, and i noticed i was starting to add fat, as i was getting older. A friend of mine invited me down, and my first thought was 'This can replace the boring cardio i hate doing in the gym'. So i would lift a few times a week, roll a few times a week, and it slowly build me into a very athletic person, with a decent 'lean-ish' physique. and then I got into running, to improve my cardio during BJJ, so like you said, it has that positive feedback loop, which is very beneficial.

I've been going for about 2 months now to a BJJ gym, funny how close to what he was saying was the same for me. You start going and really enjoying it, then you start eating healthy and just overall feeling better. I have Plantar Fasciatis in both feet from work and was starting to put on a lot of extra weight because I didn't want to do anything when things got slow during COVID or after work. It's been amazing how much these exercises for me I think the big one was loosening up all the muscles in my legs has made a massive change for how my feet and body feel now every day. I've always hated lifting/going to the gym, but now between bjj days I'm starting to actually enjoy going to the gym more cause I feel like I've got more of a goal than before for being there. Never want to let myself feel how I was ever again. Hopefully can drop another 15-20 lbs and get to a weight like I was in my 20's again

I've slimmed down and gained muscle largely because of bjj. We do some strength training at my bjj gym and it's really helped. I got really motivated 2 months ago and am still eating really healthy. I want to be as ready as possible when I'm going to compete. TL/DR Bjj has helped me a lot with my body.

Got back to BJJ since December after 4 years break. A bit of healthy diet and 2 sessions with hard rolling a week helped me drop from 183 to 165 lb. can’t say I’m ripped but definitely in much better shape! And I’m 44yo so I’m sure I’d work for anyone

happened to me, I started jiu jitsu a year ago, a was overweight, I'm 1.80m (5'9ft) I was 91kg (200lbs), today I´m 79kg (175lbd), Didn't lose all that weight doing only jiu-jitsu, I was going to enter a tournament and my opponent were suppose to be very big, unfortunetly i got injured prior that tournament but I went to see it anyway, and yeah my opponents where huge, so I started running and went to a profesional to instruct me how to eat healthier, now I feel so much better not only when training, I feel better in general. So yeah, Jiu-Jitsu gave me a reason to lose weight and the discipline to do it! I started Calisthenics to grow my stenghts and grip. I'm 31 and I'm in the best shape of my life now and I'm still a white belt with just one stripe!

This new camera is sick dude. I'm all vaccinated and just got back to training today! I'm so excited.

I eat high protein and do Jiu jitsu, I have gained weight and muscle. I used to be 92 now I am 114 and going up

Started Nov 26 2020 260lbs. April 6 2021 225lbs. BJJ and Noom. More energy, more drive to roll. Get at it! Have fun. Tap early, tap often. Rinse, wash, repeat.

I’d say yes- I ripped the muscles in abs in only a few months of trading 8-9x a week and I ripped my back muscles soon afterwards. Real talk, don’t overtrain, but lifting + BJJ helped me keep some weight off. I got strong lifting this last year (no BJJ b/c COVID), but BJJ helped me stay trim in the past.

Literally what happened to me when I started training. I lost a little weight at the start then started eating healthy. I went from 195lbs to 155lbs by the time I got my blue belt.

I feel like it’s the best form of cardio too I do that and add in basketball with it and times flys and you realize how much movement you been doing without it feeling boring

I took a jiu jitsu class at my university, my coach was absolutely incredible and motivated me to continue my training later on. There’s a 10th planet near where I live and I’m wondering if they participate at tournaments such as pan ams or worlds, since I always heard stories about those tournaments and I would really like to participate in them.

All to late for this video but if it's of any encouragement for smaller lads. I'm Aussie so bare with me, only 2 months in to jitz, I'm 37, 164cm and started at 59kg, I'm now 63kg. My body has adjusted to rolling so starting to put some body weight exercises in the mix now (dips, chin ups) 🤘👍 cheers chewy

lifting, bjj, creatine, lots of water and eating clean has me in crazy shape. went from a 6’ 130lb skinny kid to almost 160 now and have gained no fat. just buled up a bit. sore as hell but worth it

What's worked for me is keto + intermittent fasting. I've lost 70 lbs doing that in the last 3 months, and I feel better and more energetic now at 41 years old than I did as a teenager. Going to my first BJJ class tomorrow night, and I'm both super excited and very nervous, not being an athletic type at all.

Smoked for 20 years signed up for my first BJJ tournament in May haven't smoked in 3 days. BJJ will push you past where you never thought was possible 100%

BJJ was a key reason for me to quit smoking. It was really affecting my performance, and I enjoyed the process of quitting cigarettes because I was rolling better day-by-day.

I've been doing exactly what Chewy advises in this video, and have realized some pretty satisying results!! The game changers for me have been: Hiring a nutritionist ($660.00 for 16 weeks of meal planning and nutritional training for cutting weight/and building muscle; as well as an exercise and weight training program tailored to my needs). Joining a gym with a lap pool. I swim daily, averaging 1 hour per day. So far, I have lost 30+ lbs. in 3 months...only 60 lbs. to go!!👍 When I reach my weight goal of 200 lbs, I will join the Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu gym in the town next to mine, and begin rolling!! Looking forward to it!!

I just leveled up to gray belt at 10 years and I got super fit! It’s super fun and it helps you to defend yourself. At first it’s pretty embarrassing because I’m in a class full of boys and I always have to be close to the boys for the moves but you get used to it

Personally I started doing mad pull-ups, push-ups and taking care of my diet while at the same time doing jiu jitsu. Now I’ve got a reasonable four-pack and my arms a tonne bigger! It’s bloody great exercise for sure, but to get slim perhaps boxing, running or rowing will be better!

I went into bootcamp at 135, came out at 155 after 16 weeks off getting thrashed. Even though i gained weight it was mostly in my legs from drilling, hiking and all inbetween. After starting to do bjj 4 times a week and muay thai 4 times a week i got leaner but wider and my shoulders, traps and lats just got wickedly huge including my neck. I will say i never do any weight lifting, just eat right, have fun and train!

Been at it for almost 6 years. It did not get me ripped but i certainly lost weight and improved my cardio and flexibility between that and yoga

100%, I started April 21 at 250lbs, still 250lbs but at 6'3 but my body composition is completely different, people keep telling me I'm buff but it's just due to the biceps and shoulders I've grown. I'm 53 going on 54 and I feel amazing other than being sore constantly from BJJ. :) I would tap from just inability to breath/heart rate when I started and now I can do 4-5 live matches back to back and be completely fine, part is learning how to not be active constantly and to settle into positions and control vs my wrestling background of being busy 100% of the match and the other part is my cardio is on point for an old fat guy. :)

Just started Bjj early March and loving your content man! I've done Muay thai on and off and my mate wanted a buddy to train with at his gym so I started doing classes there and then he said I should try out Bjj...first 10 minutes I was a bit uncomfortable with guys on me but by the end of class I was hooked and bought a gi straight up! I'm now doing classes of gi and no gi 5 to 6 times a week and have never been so motivated to eat healthy and get back to my healthy weight, although the extra weight can help with smothering I'd rather have more muscle and when I compete I want to be in a 70-75kg class.

The thing about jiu jitsu is the better you get the less of a work out it is unless you're tournament prepping Because your energy efficiency is constantly getting better. But like chewy said it pushes you towards better habits overall.

Jiu jitsu + healthy diet= hell yeah son!

I’ve never been the kind of enjoy the regular gym. Always thought it was just boring to stand there and do reps and sets. Still think this way. I’ve been doing jiu jitsu for about a year now, I can tell you the me who entered that bjj gym over a year ago and the me today are two completely different people, physically and mentally. Bjj didn’t get me ripped (I’m not) but it made me “solid”. I’ve started going once a week with my cousin and the results from lifting just once a week are almost immediate. I think it’s because the muscle doesn’t get bigger with bjj but it gets “activated”? Ready to grow as soon as you do some weights. I don’t know the science behind it, I just know that it may not get you ripped on its own but it’s amazing for cardio and muscle “activation” the regular iron pumping gym will be so much easier when coupled with bjj and the results of weight lifting are almost immediate.

Took me too long to realize it but yeah, all it is is calories in vs calories out. I just got on MyFitnessPal and I have been sticking to a strict calorie limit. Lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks. More cardio just means you get to eat more before going over your calorie limit.

BJJ helps build up almost of neglected muscle groups. Forearms, rear delts, and abs are often neglected in most training plans and BJJ is a great exercise for all of em.

Facts!! I mainly lifted weights & did pull-ups for a workout regimen. I started jujitsu 3 months ago & my neglected areas are showing Improvement. I still have too much muscle to crab walk, but I’m getting there

Picked up weight lifting to get bigger 5 days a week plus jitsu 4-5 days a week and it’s a big difference. But also it makes my normal life a rush to get both workouts in and food in. But recommend!

When I first started training it was just bc I was interested in the art. However, agter I signed up for a competition, I started lifting and eating better. I lost 30 lbs and keep at it to keep moving my jiujitsu forward.

I lost more than 100 lbs on a 5'3" frame pre BJJ. It definitely has helped me maintain my weight at a healthy level for more than two years now. My cardio was pretty good when I started, but it has improved since.

I’ve been doing BJJ for 2 years now and in the best shape of my life

“I love this stationary bike” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m a relative noob to bjj , but every session I’ve ever been too always goes over it’s original planned time, at least 50% of the class just want get a few more rounds in and the instructor(s) is still helping out. Easy calorie burn when having fun 🤩

Everything I do in the gym is to try to get into the shape I was in when I did jiujitsu. And nothing gets me back into that shape. I was in my best shape of my life when I did jiu jitsu 4 times a week and nothing else outside of that.

I would say it has great cardio and is good at developing your pull muscles.

God dammit, chewie, you are f'ing awesome!

Proclivity; excellent word choice!

Hi Chewie, Please post on how a late 40’s athletic dude who has recently committed to BJJ lifestyle can come out the end of my 50’s without a raucous case of cauliflower ear. What are the protection techniques and how to manage the inevitable ear bonks.

Don't know about ripped but certainly very combat fit. And increased body awareness.

I've definitely lost fat since starting BJJ a few months ago. People have asked if i've lost weight ( I haven't ,just maintained weight) but i also lift 3/4 days a week on the side

100% yes, if you train a lot.

especially when you have short limbs and large torso, bjj and wrestling works amazingly to have definition on your abdominal muscles

martial arts can change your life!

I’m a heavyweight wrestler but I want to be unorthodox in my approach to takedowns and I think BJJ has some things I could use in practice. Seeing as you used to wrestle, do you think there’s anything I could do to integrate BJJ into my arsenal?

I'm in my 30s and I lost 80lb in the first 6 months of bjj (paired with interment fasting). It was very hard at first but it gets easier and it is definitely the most enjoyable way to work out. I don't do anything other than bjj for exercise and haven't worked out my abs in 5+ years. I have a 8 pack now. People at the gym tell me that I have a 16 pack 😆.

Lol! That moment he said we don’t look at the time, I was like 😳! Who’s we?! Lol Before he corrected himself 😉

It’s the diet that matters most, not the type of sport. 70% diet, 30% sports

I got fatter after starting BJJ. Not because of BJJ, but because many years have passed so I'm getting older and BJJ is something I can do :)

After 18 months 3-4 times per week I didn't lose one single pound. So I wouldn't bank on it. It's a good full-body workout, good for flexibility, makes muscles sore in places you didn't know there were muscles, but it's not really a weight loss or bulking plan.

I've been attending class 3 to 4 times a week and the gym about 4 days a week In total I rest 2 or 3 days moderate nutrition nothing special I avoid over eating been dropping a few pounds and getting fit.

It really comes down to being in a caloric deficit

Kratom and Bjj go together. It’s an appetite suppressant so no breakfast just 1/2 chia seeds mix with water, little peanut butter and raisins at lunch time. Eat a little bit before rolling and take 2 grams of Kratom 1 hr before you roll for pain relief. As we get older over 35 Bjj is a pain management game. As you go home eat a one big healthy meal. Rinse and repeat in 3 months your body is lean as it can be.

HAHAHA this sounds like a question my nephew would ask me. He's a teenager worried about getting abs, wants to do mma, and his name is Brandon too. I wonder if this was him who sent in this question 🤔. Problem with my nephew Brandon though is he doesn't want to do the actual grind of training. Smh
