2 Outside the Gym Tips to Support Harder BJJ Training

[@bigwin917]

Awesome story! I also am a brain cancer survivor that just started training BJJ about 3 months ago. Nice to hear of someone else going through the same thing! (not nice in general - you know what I mean) How ironic! I love your videos man, they've been very helpful for a newbie.

[@bigwin917]

Perry Dean Schelin Yeah I have a couple of small plates too. Right frontal AA. Surgery 6/12/15. 100% resection and very few deficits. Really cool to see somebody else still living life and doing physical activities they enjoy. There's too many of us I've met that either can't or won't. Really cool to hear your story. Best of luck to you!

[@PerrySchelin]

Big Win awesome man. mine was grade III - Astrocytoma left frontal lobe. 85% removed. treatments shrunk it and I'm now a year into basically no tumor. if you're ever in Montana hit me up. stay healthy

[@dylandakin3654]

"were choking each other and ripping limbs off for fun, its kind of crazy.... it's not normal" i got a good laugh and and a sense a pride at the same time. Your videos are dope man, don't stop making them!

[@michaelspoto8720]

cutting back on drinking has helped me. rolling while hungover is the worst.

[@michaelspoto8720]

@Ian Rowen @Ian Rown no one cares. go fuck yourselves. sell your scam some where else

[@zombieguitar]

This is a great bit of advice. I recently switched my diet from a bunch of crap to 4 healthy meals per day, and I noticed a major performance increase in both my lifting and BJJ. It really is amazing just how important diet is. You should make some videos about your diet philosophies. That would be interesting. Thanks for all the videos so far!

[@Chewjitsu]

I can do that.

[@theomen49]

man, that story literally made me cry haha. I'm about to get my blue belt too. Keep going Perry, proud of you.

[@shaunkerr902]

"idk what to say to a brain cancer survivor, 'hats off?'" hahaha

[@PerrySchelin]

thank you for this video. Your channel is amazing. thank you for sharing your experience. I will definitely keep your ideas close. thanks chewie

[@Chewjitsu]

You're welcome Perry! Keep up the training brother.

[@argentcipher]

I was watching this video and thinking "sounds like the Perry I train with". Just keep doing what you're doing man. I'll see ya next week.

[@mangmiketeamtaiaha7256]

Not that you need my validation but this is fantastic advice. took me along time to understand this.....but it's totally worth it....I huge strength and size gains when I ate correct and rested alot more. good vids Chew Jitsu.

[@Chewjitsu]

Thanks Michael.

[@PeterChessPupil]

I opt to rest and continue to go to class, and when it comes time to roll go 10% I can still hit new techniques just once a roll or something. and focus and gingerly fighting submissions the rest of the time mostly tapping alot and helping my partners feel good, this positive experience for my partners REJUVENATES me

[@bobbydabutcha]

Solid advice. Balance is everything.

[@belatorius3442]

Having a higher vegetable to meat ratio has helped me a lot

[@torstenohman4944]

what were you eating instead of the higher amounts of vegetables

[@Bigace39.]

awesome info as always appreciate the videos. and way to go Perry keep fighting man!!

[@PerrySchelin]

forcaehonra39 thanks man

[@celiad5719]

Great video, thank you!

[@edmcguigan3501]

Good advice. So many Americans with overtraining related injuries. I'm a Scot and live in the US. The drive is admirable but often misdirected. That said, I overdid it myself last week and was ill and off the mat most of this week.

[@edmcguigan3501]

...and I came back a beast as you say. Even devised a choke from the back with my own lapel.

[@omarz2145]

Eating well is the easy part as far as I'm concerned. How on earth do I make time for rest when I'm also trying to lift in the gym on top of training jiu jitsu

[@Away.Aweigh.A.Way.]

Do you have/could you make a video on a good balanced diet for BJJ? I feel like that's my biggest obstacle right now, not for lack of willpower, but rather a lack of knowledge. Thanks.

[@Chewjitsu]

I don't but I could cover some basics. Do you have any questions in particular?

[@Away.Aweigh.A.Way.]

Mostly just what the ideal diet for BJJ is. Obviously there will be different needs for different people but just the basics and maybe like an example of a what you personally eat in a day and/or what you recommend for your students, particularly when preparing for a tournament. Thanks!

[@justinmcq78]

I was just wondering the same thing after my second class (tonight) as I was gassed during the warm up

[@shinobi-no-bueno]

I'm proud of Perry, I had no idea a platypus could even train BJJ let alone get and survive brain cancer! (In all seriousness my mom had two brain surgeries in the early thousands to remove malignant tumors and it ain't no joke, back then it was a HUGE incision and she has many side effects from ya know messing with her brain.)

[@ivynova1694]

In addition to what Chewy said, a supplement can be taking once a day( NOT after 1 p.m.) a pill of Coenzyme Q10 (200 milligrams pills) and three of Spirulina(1 gram pills). From what I know this combination is an energy booster and it is recommended for intense physical effort. It can also replace coffee.

[@Goon872]

Brain surgery survivor's for life. I'm with you brother. I got the scar to prove. I didn't have cancer but I was sick

[@edumollo]

awesomene advice. basic, but essential.

[@Chewjitsu]

Simple stuff always works the best for me.

[@crybxbies]

Perry your a fuckn legend! Also this vid was great! 🤘

[@lp2496]

Chewy you're the man! Great video, I'm thinking that by what you're saying here I may be over training as a white belt. What do you think of Ketogenic diets? Any experience or thoughts on that?

[@Chewjitsu]

I'll be honest. I tried it for 3 weeks and I couldn't do it. My output as far as training goes is so much that I feel like trash without carbs. I gave up on it.

[@Nismajitsu]

I actually eat a plant based diet for BJJ. I was inspired by guys like Mac Danzig and Nick Diaz to give it a go. To be honest, I love it! I always have the energy to train and my recovery rate has greatly increased. Plus I can eat massive amounts of food without putting on any weight. It's pretty fuckin sweet

[@LucasKingPiano]

Do you have any links or more info for that diet?

[@Nismajitsu]

Essentially, I just eat whole plant foods. It's pretty much, a well balanced vegan diet with no processed or refined foods like oils or white sugar. I make sure to eat lots of fruits and vegetables as well as whole grains and beans. There's alot of athletes on on here that offer some really good insight on that type of eating

[@davericos]

Yeah dude! I'm also into it and it is awesome! The first thing that comes into play is how drastically the recovery rate is increased, hope you are doing great.

[@jordanmckie1540]

I do this too and its fantastic.

[@emilhansson216]

yeah nick is on tht plant based relaxation

[@tristanclaxton9329]

I changed my diet to a clean protein based diet and I was feeling OK but then my doctor said to change back To what I was eating for know I feel like krapp all the time so I don't know what to do

[@dimecanal]

i have been traning for more than a year now and i feel im getting better the one thing i dont stop doing is eating bad i eat alot of snacks and sugar and thats killing me and not letting me loose weight , i start a clean diet i only last two weeks and back again :(

[@myguy647]

same brah it's a curse

[@dimecanal]

yeah man

[@myguy647]

not so much a weight issue for me it just kills my energy and strength

[@dimecanal]

yeah that too you feel really low energy

[@JayFe0]

Get yourself a smoothie maker. Whenever you want a snack throw varied fruit, veg and nuts in it. It makes a quick and easy, sweet, low fat snack with lots of fibre and vitamins in it.

[@LAC95]

Diet is so hard

[@sacramentallyill]

you just have to commit enough for it to become a habit.

[@traviswhite3488]

I’m a college wrestler and I believe I’m a very high level wrestler, and I am learning jiu jitsu but only one day a week only 5 weeks so far. I guess I have a few questions, 1. Does my wrestling background help accelerate my learning process and 2. Should I try to train more days a week and if so how many?

[@joshabreu1156]

I'm still relatively new, but the sweet spot for most is like 3 days a week. I know it is for me. Wrestlers have an advantage starting out and learning could be accelerated by it

[@oldcrow6752]

Yes. And three days a week.

[@batjackjohnson252]

thank you, brotha

[@bekondikku5363]

does anyone lift and roll on the same day?

[@Chewjitsu]

B ē k o n d i k k u 愛 I do sometimes

[@augustjacobsson1205]

I do too

[@dougspinestraw]

I train like a power lifter so the weights during noonish and bjj in the evenings.

[@chaosdweller]

I used to afterwards, but since I've started in the past 2 years or so our team or my partners, have went from 1hr rolling, to like 2 or more. So not anymore. I guess I should say oss! I think it works there? lol.

[@armandocepeda7533]

I do

[@Your_images]

where can I buy that shirt !!?

[@Chewjitsu]

On my website at www.chewjitsu.net . Right now they're sold out but I'll have some more soon. Either check back later on jump on my email list. :)

[@Your_images]

Chewjitsu Oké thnx mate. I live in Europe (Netherlands) no problem for shipping??

[@Chewjitsu]

It's more expensive than in the states but I've shipped all over Europe.

[@fteambjj]

skipped bjj cause of a meeting for the past 2 days and just had kfc while watching this vid... i feel so bad right now hahaha

[@etherealessence]

"Its kinda crazy. Its not normal." Good. The same has been said about me. I might actually belong in BJJ.

[@yessr7535]

if you havent trained before just do it bro, trust me its the best thing ive done in for ever

[@etherealessence]

@@yessr7535 I'd love to, but I'm broke until i get my first pay from my new job and can't train until my schedule allows me. 2 weeks i should have my opportunity to do my first class. Seriously can't wait to get folded into a pretzel

[@yessr7535]

@@etherealessence good luck in your new job and your jiujitsu journey brother! as a recommendation hit in the calendar when are you getting paid so you know which day you are going to your first jiujitsu class, also would recommend you that most places have a first free class so definitely use it!

@@yessr7535 Thanks! Definitely taking the free class, but I want to avoid having to wait to be able to keep training. Thanks for the encouragement brother :)
