If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

[@jcarless]

No embarrassing moments in Jiu jitsu?? Iv been doing bjj on and off for a few years and I moved around a lot, so I never actually earned a stripe before. I finally get a job where I can consistently train at 1 gym. After 3 weeks of consistently out performing most white belts and having good rolls with blue belts, my professor gives a speech about a student who is long overdue his first stripe. I really didn’t think much of it. I take my glasses off when I train and can’t see faces well, so when he looks in my direction and says “step forward my man” I could have sworn he was looking me in the eyes. I step forward in front of the whole class....”uhh, no not you buddy”. If I ever get a stripe, someone will have to physically drag me to the front of the class.

[@PimpdatSkittle]

jcarless hahaha thats brutal

[@williamandrew7730]

Ohhh, my man, be careful. That’s terrrrrrible haha

[@m1cklife168]

Hahahaha 🤣 stay strong. Be a good partner and work hard to learn

[@glblankenship1]

Man, I would have been super embarrassed.

[@abidkhan-pm3gf]

I remember my embarrassing moment, ironically it led to my first stripe

[@DrMakak]

My favourite sub is the triangle choke. When my training partner sees me on the street he postures up.

[@iraqbeentheredonthat]

DrMakak Mine as well. Over the last year Ive actaully have been really trying to avoid hitting it anymore. I feel like Im missing out on expanding my open and closed guard game.

[@Papasquatch73]

My favorite is the double wrist lock.

[@r.b.4611]

gogoplata

[@bvanw574]

R.B. *flying gogoplata

[@r.b.4611]

^On concrete.

[@mattirondog549]

I rolled with a guy last week. During the roll, I noticed a booger on the side of his nose. I was in the zone, and sort of decided to ignore it, but after the roll, the booger was gone. Now I have a twitch.

[@Guntherbabies]

matt Irondog bro this shit killed me

[@darthvader566]

U just made my day

[@kineticmc7743]

I was at a seminar in Gatinou Quebec training with Erik Paulsen and Carlos Newton. I was completely starstruck. Carlos Newton was demonstrating a move from side control. He was on top and i was on bottom. Then he looked at me and said: "there's a boogie in your nose!" Completely embarrassing but i still like to tell the story. 🤗

[@mattirondog549]

Kevin Low lol!

[@kNoCKs]

Getting out of the army (infantry) in 11 days, honorably of course. Moving back to Minnesota and am going to get in a gym and do JJ. I cant wait!! Love you vids, no liability is awesome!

[@MrDantesBJJ]

You've still never told us your favorite sub; mine is a publix chicken tender w/ mac and cheese. I feel like this question is misunderstood in the Jiu-Jitsu community.

[@mattgosline4301]

so florida

[@estevangiraldo1092]

Pub subs are fireeee

[@rgladden11]

dude. mac and cheese? youve already got a mountain of bread weirdo. here it is: Chicken tender sub, White american cheese, mustard and mayo, toasted, SPINACHE, oil and vinegar / salt and pepper. Youre welcome. I gained atleast 25 pounds in about 6 months. ate one almost everyday

[@Katsuya89]

Amen! I like mine tossed in BBQ sauce.

[@Neviksir]

Sounds like a recipe for a huge gut

[@Ronjon86]

"Hows that Jiu Jitsu stuff goin?" Lol. My daughter always asks me how the "nin-jits" class went and proceeds to knife hand me.

[@caymanbacon7235]

Hey man, been thinking about getting into jiu jitsu for a while but I'm finally going to do it. I've been watching your vids for a while and the ones about starting out have really helped me get ready to start. Thanks man, I appreciate, keep putting in the hard work!

[@gabet3754]

cayman bacon Good luck man. I’ve been doing it for 6 months. It’s changed my life. Congrats on the journey. OSS

[@caymanbacon7235]

Busta Casey Just started 2 weeks ago, and love it! Been attending 4-5 days a week and just love it so much, thanks for asking!

[@chazallen123]

@@caymanbacon7235 that's awesome, keep it up, i remember when I first started I quit after 3 months because a) i ran out of money and b) I was having a lot of problems with my mental state but I came back recently and I lt was one of the best decisions ive ever made, hope you stick with it and welcome :)

[@freedivided2221]

cayman bacon honestly. His vid on just go really made me go too

[@harrywallace9571]

how’s it going man

[@stuartfoley6316]

As a brand new blue belt, this is by far the best thing on KZbin. I feel like I've learnt so much.

[@msoaevents2298]

This comment is both to enter for the shirt and just to reiterate how much I love your content! it shows in every video how much passion you have.

[@RyWestside]

Commenting for the No Liability shirt!

[@FR-ty5vn]

BEST Q&A I’ve ever heard!! Love that you included the phone call...btw, I’m a Large.

[@juandrayo]

I trained for 3 years, i love bjj with all my life, and now I'm poor and can't afford a gym. Thats the worst position for a white belt.

[@chazallen123]

I ran into that too, I came back a few months ago, I got a rasie and my gym reconfigured the payments and such so timing i hope you can get back into it, maybe try for privates here and there to keep it up till you can join back up?

[@PeterJames143]

I heard sometimes you can make a deal with the gym owner like cleaning the mats or something. Maybe worth a try? Maybe another local gym if not that one. Hopefully one that will promote you faster fuck man. Sorry for how it worked out man hope you get back to training soon.

[@gymlaxbro]

I’m a white belt too.. opposite problem for me I run a business and can afford anything but I don’t have free time

[@juandrayo]

@@gymlaxbro in the past two years, I have done some great improvements especially in time management. Running a business is huge and can’t imagine the amount of effort and work you put in but you can always try to see how u can improve on time management. Wish you the best dude!

[@juandrayo]

@@chazallen123 so did I my brother. Thank lord we are all able to train now. Even during this craziness

[@Mephistoau]

I love the fact that you can just have a laugh :D It makes the vids so much more personal

[@thejacobanderson1]

I'm a 2 stripe white belt that has been training for almost 1 year, your video's are super helpful. I really enjoy the rant video's because they deal more with the social issues that come up in BJJ. Keep up the good work!

[@EJLynd]

Said it on Instagram, say it again here - I love your stuff. Haven't asked a question yet, but I will come up with something eventually. The group I train with does a ton of cross school training. Sister schools and we go to my coach's coach, and also I train with my coach's coach's coach! I love it, and I can tell you love it. I love that you love it. Keep sharing the love. Thanks again!

[@jessjitsu86]

"No Liabilities" 🖒 Love it

[@magicfitzpatrick]

Last night was my first class. I’m glad I watched all your videos before I went. I had a great roll and I learned a lot. I’m glad I learned all of the etiquette before I stepped on the map. Everybody was super friendly and very very patient when teaching me a very complicated move. I look forward to your next video.

[@ncomeau]

I really want a "No Liabilities" shirt! love your stuff!!!

[@nerigiron7704]

Omg can't belive my question made it in thanks chewy! 👊

[@reyscottm9]

I love your videos. You're so light hearted, but I can tell that you weren't always so. Keep imparting wisdom to all us noobs, brother. It's appreciated!

[@chris.s1678]

No liabilities tshirt would be sweet! Thanks Captain Murica

[@davericos]

Hey chewie! I've been training for almost a year and I can't tell you how much you have helped me to find my way while training! Thank you for doing what you do 😁

[@ryanread1211]

Started Jits at 42. Lovin’ it. Thanks for the videos.

[@mooncrestbard]

Thank you for all of the positive inspiration you bring to the BJJ community! My favorite sub has to be the omoplata, as I like to set it up where it's not expected.

[@johnhagebeuk8]

The most honest q and a i have ever seen. Oss

[@compoundfracture4661]

Love yours and Chad's videos! Hoping for a t-shirt!

[@chicodecoster]

Probably the coolest Q&A video I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!

[@lucasvbleite]

I would like that t-shirt too! No liabilities!

[@KevinKelly1990]

Thanks for all the videos chewy. I'm about a year into my bjj journey, been watching you a month before I started training and you have helped me a lot. I am competing for the first time March 10th. Thanks for all the tips and videos brother.

[@27dforce]

Watch your videos on the way to morning classes! Thanks brother for the videos and advice. Really helps

[@lybrochanbrown4621]

Been looking for one tip channel to help with my jiu jitsu, found two , yours and Chad's. I use you guys and Gracies to help with my practice. Thank you!

[@finnbarcarey5214]

Awsome vid chewy! I just got promoted to grey/black belt (Junior ranks). And for some reason i have to give some credit to u. Keep it up man🙏🏻

[@benington_83]

No Liabilities....that's what she said. Love the vid

[@lizzparlow5639]

bjj has showed me to not take being flexible for granted anymore

[@jacobketchens5860]

Thanks for all the help

[@floatinggoose9197]

I love the arm triangle/Head&arm

[@thetornprince138]

I'll take a shirt!! Also I fully agree with you on not being overly dependent on the gi. I try to keep a lot of my game to where gi or no gi there is not huge differences in grips or position.

[@majorblood3399]

Love your videos, highlight of my day. Watching from Queensland Australian

[@TonySoprano55]

Your videos are great chewy they help me get through the day. They also discuss things that psychologically as martial artists we deal with. 👌👌

[@matthewm7109]

Hey thanks for the videos, they have been a huge help in my game. Half guard in particular is something that is oftentimes neglected or over looked but a position I’ve found my self in a lot. In fact outside of a transition to deep half I don’t think it’s ever been covered at my gym. Thanks to your videos and some dedicated training rather than just stalling the pass a little bit I’ve found that I can sweep or take the back pretty reliably. It’s my new go to position.

[@peteragren7568]

A Chewjitsu no liabilities t-shirt would be great to have! Would earn o ton of respect here in Finland when training in that gear! By the way, omoplata is the one for me, when it comes to favourite submissions. Holding hands and rolling away to a submission :D

[@brianguichet4047]

love the ask a ninja ramble style on this vid brother

[@aidandixon6028]

My favourite submission is the arm triangle, it's also the first submission I ever learned.

[@scotttorchik1832]

Listening at work with headphones and the wookie noise made me laugh out loud.. Thanks for that.

[@dashady187]

Chewie come to Maine some summer and train with us! One of my students visited your school and had nothing, but great things to say. No liabilities of course.

[@ThomasHoogerbrugge]

Dude your channel is so good!

[@briancelusnak3190]

I enjoy listening to all of your content and keep up the good work

[@gibsonedu]

I actually would like that T-shirt. I never get KZbinr merch b/c I don't want to look like a fan boy but with yours, it just looks like a funny Star Wars / BJJ crossover (at least the one w/ Chewbacca on it).

[@fernandogonzalez3242]

Thank you for the channel. I really enjoy your content. I've done different martial arts in the past and I'm looking to start doing BJJ. Your channel inspires me. Thanks again.

[@mybjjdiary189]

Caught this weird shoulder lock tonight from a over hook as my partner went Kesa. Never been taught it just saw it and hit it. Really unexpected new set up for me but like you Chewy I had to digest it and really try to analyse how I got it

[@27dforce]

My favorite position is one where I'm not getting submitted!!

[@TheJessestyles]

Just saying hey from Australia, loving the videos keep it up “no liability’s” 🐨

[@Saltking_Tim_Spindel]

The chad size duck stuff had me in stitches! I dont know why i found that so funny..

[@jmo2640]

Chewy for president! Or a free T-shirt whatever works 🤙🏼

[@kingsxcellent]

Great videos as always I follow and can't get enough!

[@whoanellynelnel3874]

Noooooooooo I missed out on a no liabilities shirt!! I can be a kiwi model and wear mine around cool nz locations at your request:D

[@frankmelro4148]

I really enjoy your channels, keep up the videos they have been really helpful with my training!

[@FolkMagician352]

Loved the video bro

[@FolkMagician352]

Chewy style ramble lol

[@jeffhelmly122]

I love you videos. I would really like a No Liabilities shirt. I just got promoted to blue belt and I'm sure a new shirt would look great with my new belt 😜👍. I look for you every time I compete in Atlanta. I would enjoy watching you compete. I'm a big fan!!!! Osss!!!

[@nanathablue]

Wait your name is Nick??!?! My whole life is a lie... Also my professor told us a story the other day about a guy who actually pooped his pants on his first (and last) day. He was a super macho, cocky, military guy and he came in to try out the gym. He rolled with one of our current brown belts, who was a purple belt at the time, who has a really good knee on belly. Long story short, he knee on bellied too hard and this guy pooped himself on the mats. He screamed, 'I fucking shit myself', ran to the bathroom, then slinked off to his car and left. The funny thing is he told all his buddies on base that he whooped everyone at our gym, so they're all coming in talking about and my professor just went, 'no he literally shat himself'. There's also the story about the guy who went full zombie, groan, drag a leg, both arms in front of him, the whole deal, after getting knocked out in a choke. He was out on the mat, then he stood up and just started waddling around like he's auditioning for the walking dead for a few minutes until he snapped out of it. A lot of weird shit happens at my gym I guess lol.

[@psyience3213]

Sounds entertaining lol

[@thebluecollarhero]

He was probably Air Force.. maybe Coast Guard

[@Shane11738]

Blue Collar Hero Most guys who think they are badass like the guy he is talking about go marines though and some of them are badass, many are not.

[@MisterAnderson927]

He browned out

[@Quodge]

That Zombie choke is gross though when you consider that’s an oxygen starved brain trying to reboot while suffering brain damage

[@psyience3213]

Love the videos. Would Rick the shit out of a no liabilities shirt

[@stevenyesrre3145]

been a long time practitioner of Jiu-Jitsu and still find ur videos very helpful oss ! oh and i would love a T-shirt lol ☺

[@klos04]

Good stuff, as always!

[@bilalkhares9337]

@4.00 apparently Travis Stevens got a black belt in 18 months under John Danaher but had already competed in Olympic level Judo.

[@dirkbarriere]

Love your enthusiasm. Thanks

[@dlastmohican71]

powerlifting has a very different bioenergetic requirement than BJJ.... I was a internationally ranked USAPL lifter in the 90s and also boxed... two different bioenergetic requirements... boxing had to take a backseat, and thank god it was amateur boxing so 3 1min rounds. True specific powerlifting training regiments will probably do little to enhance your BJJ capabilities.

[@lewisb85]

quickest someone has got a brown belt I know of is 19 months, that was Satoshi Ishii considering he came from a background of both Kōdōkan and Kosen Judo he already had an extremely strong base to come into BJJ which he did for his MMA career. Also the Martinez brothers got their 10th planet black belts in 3 to 3 1/2 years but both came from a break dancing/gymnastic background and were training with Eddie Bravo for hours a day. As a general rule you can't get a decent black belt in a year.

[@derekyorke3545]

Lanky grappler squad. No liabilities.

[@TheEeeeron]

In for the T-shirt and thanks for the tips (and laughs)

[@reggieharrison1468]
