How to Hold Side Control Concepts (Hips, Shoulders, Neck)

[@joeylatz7611]

Thank you dan bilzerian

[@shaem482]

yes CONCEPTS ! videos with concepts instead of positions and maneuvers are so helpful and more easily translated into training, thanks mate

[@Chewjitsu]

You're welcome brother!

[@victorherreraguzman5014]

Chewjitsu, this video is way far awesome; please keep posting this kind of stuff.

[@timmarks3050]

I agree. I had an AHH HAAAA moment this week. This video confirms it, as do many others. I'm trying to memorize positions, escapes, submissions... but that didn't work. Then some seasoned blue belt said "be heavy, so heavy I can't move. Place your hand here, so I can't move. Put your knee there, so I can't move. Remove a post and raise my hips and I'll fall" fuuuccckkk me, ahh haaaa. Lol. Same thing the black belt said, but I just never really heard him.

[@marcusson1983]

Amazing

[@SmedlyButler-cq5iq]

Love Chewy, he's a great teacher...what I took away is I'm setting up to turn their body away from me at my discretion.. and the body follows the head, so it starts with the cross face

[@owenbartrop8963]

As a beginner I find videos explaining the fundamental concepts of the positions more beneficial than exact steps, nice vid.

[@colbymorris9004]

Yes! I spent longer than I'm willing to admit thinking that I could submit people from inside their guard... 😔 I think a basic overview of each of the positions should be the first thing a new student should learn.

[@helenagorilinha]

Good video, I'm a Brazilian purple belt and this video helped me to remember some details about this position. Congratulations for your job. OSS

[@P12ooF]

this guy is a beast. great explanation. never heard it referred to as "shoulder of justice" lol. love this channel

[@Chewjitsu]

Thanks!

[@Ink.johnny]

This is helpful. I’m new to bjj and I know what side control is but I don’t really know what the goal is in each position. The classes usually move pretty fast.

[@jaye2491]

Since first watching this, this has been so valuable. I always end up getting my partner in side control, and this helps me control them more.

[@hanesbarbosa]

Chew, your video was like having a class on the old days. These are great details that I use to have conversations about with my old school colleagues back in time in Brazil. Some of them usually are not shared, even in seminars. You just revealed the golden tips that works for skinny and big guys. Congrats!

[@jnwoodard8764]

Small details explained simply mean everything

[@adamchalasify]

I’m a newer blue belt and I find the concepts of these positions so so helpful. Thanks chewy!

[@JediNiyte]

Chewie, the gentleman you're rolling with at 2:04 reminds me SO much of one of my training buddies. I'm a 45-year-old 4-stripe white belt (been training for 2 years now); this buddy of mine is 24 and has been training for 7 months, and seems to be a bit of a prodigy, just because his hips naturally move like the guy you're rolling with. In fact, he's giving some of our newer blue belts FITS because his hip mobility is just spectacular. I looked up this video specifically to figure out how to tighten up my hip control. Thank you SO much for these concepts, and keep up the great work!

[@AppliedShotokan]

Love this "Concept" approach. Makes it so much easier to retain.

[@zaidkhalid5263]

Sir you're one of the finest coaches! Respect

[@anthonythai2116]

chew, i finally pulled the trigger and joined a gym. last night, i had trouble keeping side control and after watching 3 other videos/channels, yours is the only one that stuck. your videos are simple yet extremely thorough. you teach concepts which makes it easier for a new guy like me instead of intricate techniques that i get lost halfway on. you don't drawl on and you always manage to keep my attention even on the 15 minute videos. thanks!

[@Tommy7urbo]

Hey Chewy, as a new white belt you are by far the best guy out there. Love your content, love your podcast - keep it coming man. Big love from Sydney, Australia

[@TyHatfield]

100% good stuff. What's funny is you can see as a Wrestler the good pinning qualities you have, and understanding the body in the movement of the body super good bud! Have to say by the way love you brother, and happy Thanksgiving!

[@Chewjitsu]

Happy Thanksgiving back at you brother.

[@thufirhawat3838]

I feel like I need to give this video more than ONE like!

[@DH-er8lp]

750 - 0 is the best undefeated youtube record I've ever seen

[@captain-schnurre3678]

845 - 0 !!!

[@greylarkan5285]

Love your channel, has improved my game immensely.

[@MrGoldenMoose]

I like shoulder of justice idea. I'm used to knee to elbow to control the head area once the arm is cleared so that would be a nice addition. Thanks as always CHEW!

[@Chewjitsu]

You're welcome. Glad the video was helpful!

[@RikaKazak]

Concepts help SO MUCH!

[@adnanalhashimi5654]

Amazing video , your just amazing teacher .. thank you sincerely for your precious time .. I'm a beginner in Bjj and used to be a pro rugby player .. so as you said me being in a different discipline i should keep my ego out and just learn . I'm doing my homework now and trying to catch up with my class .. thank you again for your amazing explanation.

[@silverfox6071]

Thanks for another great video. Greetings from Spain Chewy!!

[@Chewjitsu]

Thanks brother! Appreciate the comment.

[@matiasmazzanti3345]

Great video! Love to see one of knee on belly!

[@silentc1015]

Great video and concepts. Thanks

[@fieldstripped]

love the videos man. I watch them before training and they really help me out, i appreciate it!

[@Chewjitsu]

That's awesome. I'm glad to hear it!

[@pedrogouveia9884]

Awesome bro. It's really helpful, especially for beginners

[@badoocee1967]

All of it is Great advice!! Thanks Brother.

[@Chewjitsu]

You're welcome. Thanks for the comment!

[@ccorday]

I love the concepts video!! Excellent editing with examples from your matches too.

[@efitwithnick]

Cheat Code Jiu Jitsu sent me here, thanks for the great concepts lesson!

[@jacobberg4007]

SUPER informative and crystal clear put 👍

[@johndere1968]

3 months in, and just the video i was looking for! As a skinny tall dude, i have problems with this. Gonna try this out on monday! As always awsome videos. BTW: that belt on Uke looks awfull new :-)

[@Chewjitsu]

Good luck! The belt is new on him. But it's been through some battles! ;)

[@charlesrahim3455]

Thank you@ chewy! CR- Purple belt in Australia

[@zervalu6313]

Should you do all of these (i.e. block the hip, block the shoulder and block the head) or will any one do? At around 2:48, when Chewie has all his weight and attention around Chad's shoulder and chest, he isn't doing anything to block Chad's hip from turning towards him. Is that unnecessary in that case? If not, how do you block your opponent's hip when you are trying to be tight and heavy around their chest/shoulder?

[@2011Sankalp]

amazing stuff:), thanks professor

[@Chewjitsu]

You're welcome. Thanks for the comment.

[@brentherndon6871]

Appreciate you guys!!

[@nickschafer717]

Great tips chewy! Keep them coming!

[@Chewjitsu]

Thanks Nick! I'll try my best.

[@thanhton6635]

Thank you, sir!

Still getting views and likes 3 years later, thanks Chewy!

[@johnsuzy98]

Really great!👍🏻🥋

[@jasond6602]

Love your videos thanks

[@WARBIRD13]

VERY useful... cool. Thanks

[@Chewjitsu]

You're welcome Joe.

[@WARBIRD13]

I enjoy being in side control where I can use my weight. I'm 250, at 5'10", and 45. I'm a rising blue belt (4th stripe) and jiu-jitsu has done wonders for my PTSD. Thank you for your teachings and sharing

[@MinhaFamiliaAQBJJ]

4:18 is my fave against the squirmy guys who are difficult to hold down have cardio for days

[@BarChordA]

TIL it's more effective/restrictive to pin them onto your own wedge than to the mat.

[@x426x]

I struggle with staying glued to my opponent in SC. They always manage to create separation

[@walkingcorpse1224]

Lol I'm usually able to get out of side control and hold side control pretty easily against alot of opponents in my city, except for the black belts... My black belt instructor alone, I feel like his side mount is impossible to escape no matter what I do, and then I feel like I can never hold him in Side Control. No lie, everytime I go up against a Black Belt (Unless they're really small) I feel like I will never get to their level. 🤣 It's so weird to me, it's like that frkn belt is magic.

[@harageilucid4352]

Thank You!

[@Jearbearzz]

Hey Chew I appreciate this video! Hopefully you answer old comments on old viedoes...but what do you do when your in side control but the opponnet is on his side facing away from you? Do you try to hop to the other side and flaten him out?

[@danny1581]

Thank god for Chewjitsu

[@QigongAwareness]

What if the guy is very flexible and keeps bringing the legs up to the head whether from regular side control or Nessa gatomi?

[@luismaldonado3618]

some advice pls, to escape reverse side control?

[@yankee8402]

Hi Chew, Could you do video about back control? Many times I have one hook in and seatbelt or two hooks in I slip over opponent's head. It seems like I m to high and I do not feel like im having any control. It is really frustrating cuze it is one of the most dominating position but maan I prefer to stay in side control than take someone's back. Greetings from Poland !

[@Chewjitsu]

Sure can. I'll add it to the list. Thanks for the question brother.

[@surfandjiujitsu2444]

probably a dumb question but im old but how or where do i go to ask those questions that your reading off your phone?

[@somefuckstolemynick]

I think you just did it where it's done. :)

[@Chewjitsu]

KZbin, Instagram or email off my contact form on www.Chewjitsu.net . I typically address the email questions more readily.

[@surfandjiujitsu2444]

Chewjitsu thank you

[@surfandjiujitsu2444]

you probably already have a video about this but ive noticed with white belts not all but most ether right before a roll or right after they make comment about getting beat or going to get beat and i try to explain to them its not about that and once i figured that out myself i improved alot i dont know if you have a video on that or not but would be something good to talk about.

[@bluegorilla1006]

Jesus saves. Love you guys.

[@admiralsuperior3]

Thanks

[@fernandotvchannel]

Gracias🙏🏿

[@bedevere007]

nice

[@dimecanal]

hey chewi what do you think about academies that are giving a green belt before the blue

[@Chewjitsu]

Eh, it's not my thing. I actually got a green belt in my first gym. I don't do it myself. But it's not bad or unheard of.

[@dimecanal]

thanx chew

[@nebnostunk9325]

Why do my hands wanna be as I’m passing the guard

[@jonathancastillo200]

Shoulder of justice lol

[@MinhaFamiliaAQBJJ]

Thanks Chew...3 yrs later lol.

[@victoriawinnard968]

The 6 people who disliked this video were white belts who quit after six months of training.

[@Sfourtytwo]

Time and time again you show us how the Gi is our enemies best friend - why do BJJ with a gi at all?

[@Chewjitsu]

Haha. It's not the enemy if you know how to use it. Why would you be completely against the gi?

[@Sfourtytwo]

Yeah well, it gives our opponent a good grip, it allows him to choke us, we can be lifted by it So why is wearing it an advangtage for myself? In reality i wear Tshirt 90% of the time - so doesnt that mean np gi is much more realistic and makes life more difficult for my opponent?

[@umont503]

💯

[@Aireck174]

I thought this was a Crowder video.
