BJJ Brown Belt Gasses Out Rolling at Other Gyms

[@tamamalosi]

The unknown factor. Rolling against people whose game who don't know. That drains the tank fast.

[@adrizen]

Mentally too. And that adrenaline dump is the same as competition.

[@duke3196]

These Chewy vids are gold. Cant explain how much Ive enjoyed them over the years🤙🏼

[@TheGimmelstob]

one word=anxiety

[@DezCP3]

I was going to say one word, composure 😂

[@adamatomant3381]

As a brown belt, I get the same way. I started taking some biometrics when exercising. I've noticed at the gym, I get a lot less tired on days where my heart rate doesn't go as high, but I'm doing the exact same workout routine. Sometimes your body and mental readiness just aren't there some days and you have to force yourself. And on days when I have to do that, my heart is already higher than it can be when I have those good days. To me, it's completely mental.

Here's one that many people forget: different climate. I live in a city near one of the coast lines in the USA, near sea level. One time I visited some family that lived in the Rocky Mountains with an elevation a few thousand feet. Due to the difference in air pressure and change in humidity, my breathing was off for the first few days even for day-to-day activities. Rolling was definitely much more difficult.

Different levels … Low level: Training at your home gym with friends Mid level: dropping in at different gym High level: comp Very high level: fighting in street I say last one because people always talk about training and Jiu jitsu for self defense , well I think the best way to truly prepare for that is going through these different levels of anxiety Are you really ready to defend yourself if you are scared to go drop in at other gym and/or compete? Anyway, I agree with everything you said. People who never visit other gyms sometimes don’t understand the anxiety that goes into it, even when coming in humble with utmost respect Great vid

[@happyhealthyalternativemom4192]

I think it's the adrenaline dump. You're with people you don't know you don't realize how your ego starts to kick in too. Same in competition. there's a lot of pressure a lot of eyes on you. They aren't the people that you're used to. Subconsciously your body is freaking out a little bit.

[@TSM260]

After you've been a Cop for awhile and people try and fight an injure you foreal, tournament stress and dropping in at random gyms stress is non existent. Always find that 5th gear when someone's trying to end you, especially if they know how to grapple too .😊

[@chasew5836]

I think some gym’s definitely roll or train harder than others so if you came from a slower paced gym that could have something to do with it. I know some gyms do 3 min rolls instead of 5 for example.

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

Being nervous (like every form of anxiety) leads to shallow breathing

[@ryancampbell454]

Bruh the battle craps omfg ive had those all my life ty chewy new term

[@TheSimsBurglar]

Studies show that people feel more drunk at the bar or club than at home. Stimulus overload.

[@medicineandbrazilianjiujit8511]

Great advise as always, Coach Chewy. In addition, perhaps the physiological dynamic of the Adrenaline Dump contributing to the quick fatigue. Perhaps try to arrive to open mat early, settle down, and start the roll slower.

[@blue_samurai_zero]

The battle craps. Got it. Fi that happens to me, thanks for the warning.

[@shadowsfury63]

6:02 im the same way. Just wanna show you im here to play ill give up positions and aim to work out the worst spots (not that im good at stopping you but i just accept things as there are and move onto the next position) cause everyone can teach you something new. Im here to learn not win. But when i know you i put the pace on without snatching things fast

[@daltondunn7856]

ALSO, they are going to roll harder with you because they wanna test you/see where you are and think that they can catch you with stuff that doesn't work on their normal training partners because they see it coming plus they aren't nervous because they are on their home mat. . .

[@Fabyfakid]

This literally happened to me yesterday, I'm a brown belt, been training for a couple of years, but visiting friends for an open mat gasses me out to no end, usually I do pretty good during regular classes.

[@bradpennell4516]

Great advice chewy lol I'm 370lbs with bad diet habits that jiu jitsu is teaching me to keep an eye on! A.k.a RALPH!

[@iamawuss]

I also find it easy to go ten rounds with the hardest guys no problem if you catch my drift.

[@Clutchisback1PC]

Isn't triangle choke a noun?

[@Mdi456]

I don't take rollbreaks... Next sentence I rest a lot at rolling...

[@marcusballard2550]

I do the same thing when I cross train.

[@BobBob-vt4ep]

I might be stupid, but isnt triangle choke a noun? Like it’s a thing especially with that definition. It can be used as a verb but wouldn’t the verb definition just be “to put someone in a triangle choke”

[@dylanmitchell6014]

I also thought this lol

[@shaftsburry1773]

Sir this is Jujitsu not English class, we don’t read around these parts.

[@charleslasley2604]

Triangle is a way of life 😂

[@ryansmith9138]

Lol.... Battle craps. Pro tip when going to a comp. Always bring your own loo roll.

[@eriktaylor1225]

Brown belt myself. 10 years of training. Have visited multiple academies throughout the last 10 years, including 2 when I stayed in Brazil for about a month. Getting gassed hasn’t happened to me, but getting tapped has happened more often at other academies. My guess? Chances are he’s adapted to his regular training partners, knows their habits and strengths and weaknesses. Now going to new academies he doesn’t know people’s rolling habits and finds out in the moment their strengths and weaknesses. Just my 2 cents.

[@peteypablo09]

Performance anxiety

[@billdublewhopper3064]

Adrenaline. It causes your muscles to use massive amounts of energy. Even if you dont realize it.

[@បារាំង_N]

I'm an old overweight brown belt without any cardio at all and have a whole different opinion. I never really gass out. I get tired, but not gassed out. I never refuse rolls, and don't take roll breaks. But I have no cardio at all. I don't mean "little cardio", there just is no cardio. Don't ever participate in the traditional warm-ups, those completely gass me out within 1 length of the gym. Because I lack any cardio, I have no other option to have enough rest during rolls. I rest a lot during rolling, and am economical with movements. If there would be too much of a scramble I forgo most types of scramble and let my partner get the position the scramble was about. At my old age most scrambles are dangerous for injuries anyway. My whole game is based on "trenches", positions I use to rest as much as I can. It is extremely defensive. (Inspired by Pritt Mikkelson.) This whole cardio thing doesn't help much if your defensive game isn't good enough. Getting better cardio for jiu jitsu can be helpful, but is overrated to rely upon. When there is a king of the hill, a specific position with a specific aim within possibly a specific timeframe, then I am doomed. Because that's highly energetic, and no trench position available because it may mean losing the battle because of its specific purpose.

[@Ric_1985]

Interesting

[@TartarugaGracie]

You spend a lot more energy training with people you are not familiar with.
