BJJ Brown Belt Demolished a Mat Bully (Feels Upset About It)

- Have you ever heard of the term "Gym Enforcer" at your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu academy?
It's a pretty simple idea. Just like the old hockey enforcers who were sent out to check certain players on the ice. A gym enforcer is there to check certain behaviors on the mat.
In this video our friend Dee was put in the position as gym enforcer by his coach.
There was a mat bully in the BJJ gym he trains at who was roughing people up unnecessary and not being safe. The coaches had talked to the guy. But he still continued.
So Dee, who is a BJJ Brown Belt, was told to put it on the guy and he did.
The bad part for Dee is that the guy hasn't made it back to training since. And he feels like maybe he ruined someone's Brazilian Jiu-jitsu experience.
In this video I share that the idea of a gym enforcer in your Brazilian Jiujitsu gym is fairly common.
You don't rough people up unnecessarily but you need people to be aware of reality.
If you were on a basketball team and you had a new player who wasn't very good, but better than some, begin talking trash to the players. You might have one of the better players school him on the court to check the situation before it becomes negative to the whole team.
I also share how being a gym enforcer is helping maintain the safe boundaries inside of your gym and share a term I read in a book called Iron John.
The term is Walled Garden, and simply means establishing a secure place for us to cultivate ourselves.
This cultivation cannot happen if people are creating negativity inside the ranks of the gym.
Enjoy the video!

The fact that you have an enforcer called chad is just golden
but he's got the body of a "virgin" which is just hilarious hahaha
His nickname is The Beast!
The BEAST
Chad by name, Chad by nature!
🤣
I love how this guy can talk for 10+ minutes, no editing, straight to the point.
That’s passion.
Yeah, he could go into a Toastmasters meeting and hang with the big dawgs!
Είναι καταπληκτικός!!!
It's a skill for sure.
He's a coach
You can learn so much of a persons character by just rolling with them. Takes a whole 2 seconds to recognize a person with bad intent.
Yup. Absolutely. First touch and it's obvious
Gay
Right you can tell the difference between people who are just trying hard and going to fast vs people who are being rough to gain an advantage in training to boost their ego.
@Fred Freddy love it man !!
@Fred Freddy wtf stupid shit, fish hook? Shut up, who fish hooks??? You like eye gouges?
I’m the gym enforcer at my academy and have had to do this a time or two. I’ve always considered it a “huge honor for me”
I would too... I'm sure you have the skill to do so, and it's pretty bad ass. Wish I would be able to be an enforcer, unfortunately you can't do that when you're like 140lbs
@@TheseYeahThese bro I’m only 175 you can totally do it. Be a stick of hell as we say in NC.
@@TheseYeahThese yeah man chewys is only 130, be and iron cable as I call it
guys huge honour for me hahaha
@@TheseYeahThese a 140lb guy smashing a bully can be a really good lesson for them. I think having a lighter guy being the enforcer can check a person's ego.
I think I'm the opposite of the enforcer. My instructor gives me the timid/scared guys to go easy on X-D
Steve Long just as important, I just started mma/bjj about a month ago and the first guy I rolled with was super nice and made me feel a lot less nervous
Same here, bro. But I also got the guy that talked to much and knew too much and had to be shown he really didn't, LOL. Unless it was some MMA wannabe, then we let one of the higher black belts or the guys from the fight team educate him.
I know, RIGHT? Had a couple of guys, one who's starting his pro career now and the other who's moving up in the referee world now, and they just treated me like I belonged. INSTANTLY. For a guy who spent over a decade being beaten and abused in the school system, this was amazing to me. Changed my world.
the cuddler?
You are not the hero us white belts deserve, but the hero we need.
I trained for 4 years at an mma gym, and I can say that yes, we’ve had to humble some people. It’s not bad, some people just need to be grounded
Love how the most accomplished ones are usually the most humble ones
That's what makes the sport great 🤷♂️
I've watched so many of this dude's videos but I have no clue why, I have never even thought about doing BJJ
lol
Well, you should. It's a very nice activity for your mind and body. Do some research and check out a gym near you, they usually offer free classes so you can see what it's like.
Same here man, finally had the courage to take my 1st bjj class 2 days ago. Its awesome give it a shot my dude
You should. It's fun, healthy and empowering. I overcome many of my insecurities, and it hasn't even been a year yet since I started.
@@ahmadalmarri5953 it is nice to know!
When I learn a new submission and I get it on sombody I’ll tell my friend after class is that bad I don’t brag about it I’m just happy that I learned a new technique
Tommy Mx
I think anyone would understand being excited about that. I wouldn’t take that as bragging. I’d be happy for you as well
I hit some nice at bars today vs I tore brads arm off. The name dropping is the worst bit by far.
Yeah I generally just leave the name out... I finally tapped an opponent (or 'someone' or 'a partner') with such-n-such maneuver, so glad I finally pulled that off.
Also put the focus on you and what you learned rather than on your opponent and your superiority complex. Celebrating new found knowledge, is not the same as boasting about a momentary domination. The former can be beautiful, the latter can only be ugly.
Sorry bro but you’re going to hell for that
Good: "I got my first leg hook submission today!"
bad: "I submitted John with a leg hook!"
Good: "I didn't have to tap out in a roll today!"
bad: "John is so bad he never even got me to tap."
Good: "I finally got my spider guard to side control transition perfected!"
Bad: "Yah I managed to take position on John a lot today"
It's about ego and attitude - you want to be saying "i did a good thing!" but you don't want to make it a zero sum game with whoever you did it TOO, so leave them out of it.
Moral of the story:
Don't fight a 120lb 5'10 kid named Chad, got it !
haha.
This Chad guy sounds like he might not have any liabilities....
@@jonathanwalton3500 Sounds like a Beast!
poot111111 sounds like a tough man ! I wish Chewy was in Los Angeles
His name matches his qualifications. Fucking chad
Stay humble. I get my ass kicked all the time.... And....I absolutely love it 😂
Me too 🤣
Me too by my brothers
@regular_dude bruh what ?
regular_dude damn bro, that’s tuff, git gud though lmao
@regular_dude i guess you should get your training arc to beat that dude lol, btw ur a pussy js.
I'm the guy that tells him, hey you hurt my shoulder last time we rolled, take it easy friend, we're training, not fighting for our lives. Done this a few times, never got a negative response. Verbal communication goes a long way
I've done this once. Guy almost blew my knee with a really bad outside trip where he stepped on the back of my knee. We got paired next class and i basically told him this, let's start down and go easy. I start in his guard, I'm posting on his sternum, he grabs both my collars and pulls me in super hard. I dislocated his rib, unintentionally. Even though not my fault felt pretty bad about it.
@@gonzalosanchez6387 brother, I've been a fighter all my life. Found Jiujitsu at 40. I've been PLAGUED with injuries. I never hesitate to tell a bro, "hey take it easy man, you're stronger, younger, faster, take it down a notch please my man, cuz last time we rolled you hurt my shoulder". I just spit it out without any thought of whether it will be awkward or not.
But bro, if you hurt someone when you're in closed guard, fuck idk it might be their fault too
One thing my former instructor instilled in us was "You started out where that white belt is at. We build people up. We don't beat people up. Set the example". It really stuck with a lot of us that that's become the culture. Everyone kept their egos in check and I enjoyed working and training with my old team. However, we had one purple belt from another gym start training with us. He would smash and demolish white belts (often to the point of injury),he'd talk trash to blue belts.Was always too good to roll with female students and never rolled with anyone that was a purple belt or up. Dude, was constantly criticizing my instructor and the other black belts. My former instructor is a great guy and when his black belts got wind of it they decided to keep Mr Ego in check. Before he could destroy some poor white belts spirit a black belt offered to roll with him and wouldn't take no for an answer. Mr Ego was swiftly choked out. Supposedly had soiled his trousers. He only showed back up to see if he could get a refund or if he can break his contract.
Humbling is apart of life and especially martial arts.
It's exposure to reality.
Hiighway_Chile Very important process to go through
Hard to be humble when you're the most awesome person on the entire planet.
Especially, when there are no weight limits in sparring ;)
@@Chewjitsu I'll trade my reality for your reality any day you want.
"Chad doesn't look like anything but he is a killer" 🤣
🤣🤣🤣☠️🤙🏽🤙🏽
My life goal right there!
Maybe Chad should compete a lot or does he already. !!
Everyone has one of those guys in their gym
my best friend was European kick boxing champion he isn't very loud and very is humble, doesn't look the typical type but believe me that guy will ruin your day if its your wish... very quick.
Had this same experience when I started muay thai. Was 18 and really hungry. About two weeks into sparring I knocked out couple guys who started same time as me. Not intentionally, but didnt realise my power back then and went waaay to hard on sparring. Our coach noticed this and got me to the ring "sparring" next round with him. Almost knocked me out and worked my body. I felt humiliated afterwards, took few days off till I realised that he just gave me an important lesson there. I will always remember the sort or proud welcoming grin on my coaches face when I finally showed up.
cte moment
If I understand correctly I don't think the coach should have allowed hard sparring for people so new in the first place. But yeah, we all need to get humbled.
My bjj coach always says “you don’t have to win every match, and I’m not gonna judge you for losing. I’d rather you guys try new things than just try to win every roll”.
I wonder how these guys in your examples feel when they watch these and realize you're talking about them 😂
Guys like that hardly ever realize that they're guys like that. That's half their problem.
Also sometimes they could not exist. Created anecdotes are good to explain what you want to explain.
It’s like after an English exam and the teacher uses your essay as an example of what a terrible essay is without saying your name. No one knows the teacher is talking about your work, but you know, you definitely know.
BJJ people have always been among the most wholesome, respectable and trustworthy people I've ever known.
Lmfao
@@Allnew_K Did you have a different experience?
I had my elbow hyper extended in an armbar two weeks prior to fight by one of these types. My elbow was never tho same. I decided to fight anyway, my arm was about 30% strength. I was taken down in th second round. Could barely defend myself. That elbow changed my life. If you get a bit like this in your dojo. Get him out or stay clear till he gets it or leaves.
That's a bummer, hope your elbow eventually healed and got back to full strength.
The worst is a lower belt that thinks hes the hot shit
Chewy was my teacher for over a year. Chad is just about the nicest guy you would ever meet. Neither have 1% ego and love and support each of their students in every way. He isn’t just saying this…he lives it. Great gym and amazing bunch of animals in Louisville. This is hands down the best gym & BJJ channel on the planet.
“Don’t roll and tell.” Never heard it at a gym but really every professor should mention this to their class
to me it depends on how it is said and meant.
yes, this is an unsaid rule, but definitely a rule that you don't brag about tapping your training partners.
I think it's more important not to brag, I don't think it's a big deal to talk about some of your rolls and etc. in the right context.
Michael Graham I think the biggest thing is respecting and acknowledging that higher belts are going easy on us. As long as we remember that, I think we have a good head on our shoulders.
People think rolling is so serious! It's a time to try new techniques, New defenses, hone a new move! God the testosterone is annoying!
Everyone gets served a slice of humble pie from time to time.
I'm a judo guy, but I love your channel. You have so many great points about gym culture that everyone, even outside of martial arts, can learn from
Great message. I'm a new white belt...at 44, and I appreciate the guys in my dojo - they're patient, good teachers and are really chill. It makes me want to learn more so I can give them a good roll in return. A mat bully who goes unchecked will ruin the groove, as you said.
Thanks brother.
i got lucky that my first gym was super respectful and clean with new members. i got to bring my wrestling in and show off some grind, but i also was never cocky about it and my coaches blended me in so well with the others. its so important to feel comfortable with your gym mates, all it takes is respect really
My first time I ran into a badass brown belt that showed me no friggin mercy. Legit this guy stuck me in knee on belly choke and I'm like SHIT didn't know that was a way to submit someone lmao.
B R O T H E R
AMEN about your grind, we have had a few wrestlers come through and their dedication and condition is off the charts.
Completely agree that it was nice to get roughed up a bit in my first few classes. I knew JJ was legit but didn’t understand how legit before my first few classes. Pretty motivational to feel like a golden retriever fighting a grizzly bear, knowing you can evolve like a Pokémon if you stick with it
All gyms need "enforcers" to help prevent people getting injured!
My master once passed wisdom that I carry every day of my life.
Coke is better than Pepsi
Too bad its false
Edit: spelling
You're damn right! lol
your master dont know shit!
@Albert Twangle but what about acid?
You might want to find another master.
great to see the pride and respect you have for your gym and students much respect!
Came here to watch a bully get styled on.
Ended up with a 10 min tldr.
imagine thinking everything on the internet is catered specifically to you
@@Pigracer Imagine a TH-cam without clickbaiting titles? (Once upon a time there actually was, but you probably too Young to remember.)
I was looking for that but ended up enjoying it tbh
@@Smithy250 Haha! Things can happen. ;)
Yeah I came to see the same thing,but honestly this was a lot better.Ive never trained so this is an interesting perspective from a well spoken guy...I'm not mad😎
Chewy is all talk. One time, I walked up behind him in the bathroom and choked him out. He fell face first into the urinal. That's how he got his chipped tooth and the nickname "piss face." True story.
Wow bro you really out skilled him
That’s my fav story
I feel like getting wrecked is good cause it makes you want to learn more. You can rough someone up without being mean.
I remember back when I was a white belt there was this creepy guy who started coming to our gym. Just overall weird dude, extremely aggressive and he really made me uncomfortable. I never realized it until watching this video but my coach told some of the higher belts to mess this dude up, which they did and he left. I just remember feeling relieved because I was starting to dread training because of him.
I just hope the gym tried the 'talking to' before the 'smashing to'
Big Member I don’t know actually lol like I said I wasn’t a part of the whole thing and just realized now that that’s what happened 😂😂
Because your instructor was too afraid to handle the situation himself?
Hubster not at all! It just gets a little more sticky when the instructor has to do the beat downs than just the other students. Or so I gather from the video
Who said a beatdown? Instructor has conversation with student ( because we are civilized) and if student doesn't respond accordingly he's gone. That's not the Gracie or macho way to do it, but that way works just as well.
BJJ's Elliot Hulse
haha thanks.
Red pill bjj
chewjitsu is more humble, technically knowledgeable and not a quack
Elliot's got few screws loose
@@bibekkarki4158 elliot is on point
I went through something like this a few months ago (MMA). A youngster who is a better striker than me decided to power up during a spar (stand-up). The coach told him to chill it down a few times. He wouldn't listen, and I ended up with a nice shiner. 2 days later we were ground fighting (I am a better ground fighter than striker). Between the cross-facing and repeated submissions/chokes, he learned a lesson and didn't come back.
You should never be the reason someone doesn't come back to the training center.
@@colormesarge No, he's the reason. He acted like a fuckhead and got treated the same way because he refused to listen. His repeated actions got a similar reaction. Being a boo-boo lipped crybaby is how he chose to react to the preventable chain of events he created.
Lol...been there before!!!
@@colormesarge what are u on about? that’s so illogical
@@shrapmagnet
The way you're describing it you come across as vindictive
I’ve had my ass handed to me more times then I can remember in traning. In the beginning you might get upset because you are not used to it but after a while it becomes a truly humbling experience, you learn from it and get stronger. Osss
I just started 2 months ago. My brother in law asked me last night how it’s going and I said “I get my tail whipped every day” and he said “and leave feeling defeated?” And I said “no, I never feel defeated, just humbled”
I beat myself up over everything, and I even beat myself up over beating myself up
I hope to be good enough one day to get the wink, lol. ;)
Yeah you do.
Same
Thanks Chewy. I have seen a couple of your videos in the past but I've recently been watching a lot of your vids, answering questions and so on. I find your perspective really interesting and helpful. These videos have made me think about my own BJJ journey and how I can improve, not only skill wise but also with being a better training partner. Lots of love from Finland bro!
Dude, you geeking on the new matts was cool. I appreciate the passion and heart you bring to what you do.
i got rolled by a Chad my first day. It was freaking awesome!
Chad is a bitch
Rico G go roll with Chad
Ha gay!
Huge fan brother. Love your style, your gym culture, your leadership and most of all KEEPING IT REAL. All the best Chewy! Love your new mats by the way. AWESOME !
Was doing judo 32 years ago... yes sometimes we were asked to "rough up" the unruly kid (we were mostly kids teens pre teens)... it was understood use technique to tire him and show him he should respect. I remember the 12 years old me being proud when some kid was disrespecting the class and the teacher asked all to prepare the exercise and he asked me and the kid to do rondori for the full exercise, with a wink to me. We had the same belt but I was stronger/ more technical.... I just tired the guy and I felt proud in the evening... of the 40 kids I was the one asked and not an higher belt one.....today rethinking it, it was the goal from the teacher " orange belt vs orange belt get own, know your place".
That video was something, just showed me why I love my new gym so much. I'm completely new at this and have encountered nothing but respect.
Everytime you hear "right"..take a drink...this is gunna be good. 😂
What's worse is when you have a gym that does not stop these guys at all. First BJJ gym I joined was like this and the owner kept wondering why people (who were the non-bullies) kept leaving the gym (usually after an injury). I ended up joining a different gym and really found the right community. Still get smashed by the experienced guys, but they're not jerks about it and I'm not getting injured as much.
Love the walled garden analogy, I coach hockey and I'm definitely going to share this with my students
I have been that "mat bully" and D... I got school hard af. I learned respect for the gym, but not out of fear more out of knowing the effort I had put into what I knew and that it paled in comparison to the work those people had put in. If a person cannot respect at least that then they have no place in anyone's gym and would only use what they learned to hurt someone.
Your videos are great man. I enjoy your philosophy and approach very much. Keep it up!
It's interesting to hear this perspective, I guess I have been really fortunate in the gym I came up in. We all interacted with comradare and respect and every match got timed out, or tapped out. We just laughed at ourselves and congratulated each other on our good works and worked together on the moves and techniques we needed work on. It was just a really awesome culture from the beginning, I feel very fortunate for that. Thanks for the great video. Much respect sir.
That what happens in judo everyone is friendly you learn from each other
Don't comment much on anything, but this video was spot on. Great video, great content.👍🏽
Great video! Definitely an issue that happens at all gyms & glad to see a video that discusses it & gives a clear guideline, which I will apply. Thanks again sir. P.s. those mats are SWEET esp with your logo 💪🏽🤙🏽
I just started Jiujitsu and I learned a lot from your advice, keep it up! Subscribed!
Hi, enjoyed your video. We had the same thing back in my karate days in the 80's and 90's.
Re the Walled Garden, I believe the concept of as old as the story of Buddah, used to describe his childhood and the beginning of his journey to enlightenment. Thanks again for your content!
100% agree , there was a guy in my Judo club that always went full out on anyone regardless of their belt ranks , he was a brown belt which is one under black and he came from another club , he was probably in his 30s and he’d go up against yellow and orange belts and literally put them out for a couple weeks from injuring them it happens almost every class this super aggressive no holding back behaviour , we didn’t have a specific enforcer but me and a few guys from my club got together after class and talked about it , our biggest man Markus ( 250+lbs 6ft4 ) sparred with him next class and completely destroyed him , we never saw that guy again lol ... training in any art is supposed to be something you enjoy doing , you shouldn’t have to go to class worrying about a specific person injuring you , everyone is there to learn and grow as martial artists and as people , it’s a family
Oh Yea o yeah yeah
Love your content! But this clip is on a whole different level of awesomeness! The levels of depth of the message in this video is amazing!
Hear, hear. It baffles me when club owners allow toxic behaviour to spread unchecked. Unfortunately, I've trained underthose circumstances before wisening up and moving on.
The lesson i took away from this video is STAY HUNGRY AND STAY HUMBLE. 👍🏼
Great way to answer the question. Those mats too tho, my bad balla!
Humility, respect, and perspective should always be present when rolling, imho. You articulate this very well. I wish there were more folks like you in the jiu jitsu world.
Love this show! Good advice and you love what your doing
learning a new submission feels like learning a new jutsu
thanks for the FYI brotha. im about to go to my second BJJ class tonight and i love the culture talk
hows it going so far
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It's an eye opener for me.
One of the best explanations I have ever heard. Great job! I was the subject of the enforcer when I first started. Took a year before he and I were good enough friends that he told me what was up. Humility can be natural or it can be taught the hard way. Better to come in the door humble and learn from the first minute.
Hey Chewy, love your content. You explain each subject really, really well so thank you. Which book were you reading about the Walled Garden? I've been looking into books touching on that kind of thing.
Good to see you're doing well Krispy Kreme. Love your stuff bro
-Kenny in NC
I am actually still watching your video and I want to say that I am really glad that I did come across your videos. I am a one stripe white belt and Gracie's combatives jiu-jitsu. And I absolutely am loving it and I am always looking outside of the Gracie channels just for a contrast. I really dig your energy.
Love your positivity dude. Keep it up
Humbling a person who is out of line and telling them specifically "Hey, we see you getting out of line with other people at the gym on the mat. It's not fun when you get steam rolled like that right? You're not learning anything when you just get wrecked and smashed, right? So stop doing that shit to other people here."
I think there is no place for passive aggressive or vagueness in the reason for setting an example or having better students or teachers to humble a student. If it isn't clearly explained as "you're being taught a lesson" it can get misconstrued as "the better guys just beat up the newer guys, so I'm just playing my role in this environment."
We had guys who thought they were "badasses" that would go really hard and be unsafe so our trainers would have those guys go against some of our top level teammates, like former d1 wrestlers or a brown belt who was a former d2 college wrestler etc. Have them roll in front of everyone with the set up of "bully name" and legit good teammate are goinf to give us an example of high level competition grappling in a little exhibition match. People suddenly get a lot more humble after getting throttled in front of an entire class.
Man,I wish I could come to your gym. Sounds very grounded and realistic.
Love your videos! have been watching them since i started Jiu-Jitus three years ago. Thank you for all your advice. Greetings from Austria
Excellent vid, man. Thanks for posting this.
Congratulations on your custom mats! Super cool*****
A coworker told me his kid was getting in trouble at school for fighting. He told me that he regretted enrolling his son in jiu jitsu and that they were teaching him bad things. He also said they were very rough with him and the other kids. I asked him if they tap out at the school, and he said not all the time. Also, he said they slap the kids in the face to toughen them up: it was a straight up cobra kai school in real life! My coworker was fresh from India, and did not realise that it was not normal behavior for a martial arts school in the U.S. to be that way. I told him to pull that kid out of that school right away, and also to tell the other parents to pull their kids out as well. But I also told him to enroll his son in another school directly, because his son already knew a lot, and that in order to redirect his knowledge so he would not use it for bad, new instructors with his best interests could take over and reteach his son the correct philosphy and mindset to be a good person through jiu jitsu. He did so, and saw results right away with not only hus son's behavior, but also his happiness in general, and especially his grades!
You are right: you have to get the cancer out - and sometimes the gyms themselves are the cancer!
Is it a coincidence that I had my first BJJ class today, that this video pops up??? I THINK NOT.... I had a blast today, and this video help me better understand the culture I’m being introduced to.
I'm loving your channel! Awesome vids and very educational.
This is what jiu jitsu is all about man. Respect. What an insightful guy. Great videos man!
Haha those are the same mats my new gym has!! And those custom ones,👌🏾 prime. They are sick man!! 🤙🏾
The "Rich Rule" sounds like a good one to have, just in case.
Good information, very good advice. I have a school and I am learning about your fundamentals and the weed out process you learned much quicker than I am.
love your view on things ... with people like you teaching and running gyms...it will only evolve in a positive way... your a good man.. i hope people will learn from this video...
Congrats on the beautiful new mats Chewy! In retrospect, I realize that I was on the receiving end of an enforcer early on but I didn't know it at the time. I wrestled in HS, found BJJ when I was 40. When I started I was a spazy strong rough wrestler white belt but I honestly didn't know better. I think I rolled hard with a woman blue belt (but not unsafe) once. Couple days later, at an open mat the instructor black belt called me to roll and beat the crap out of me (I remember thinking wow, I suck) but I actually still loved it, lol, and was thankful that a black belt actually wanted to roll with me, lol. It was only years later that I pieced together what happened. Turns out the black belt was dating the blue belt or something. I wish someone had pulled me aside to educate me on what I was doing wrong and also, how to roll with women. I think ou have a very good and thoughtful approach, first oull the dude aside and talk to them, then rag doll them, then pull them aside and talk again.
Yeah they should have talked to you about the situation and not just smashed.
I think these heroic white knighting is a similar phenomenon but something different
Woman or not rolling is rolling, equal rights etc 🤭 black belt sounds like a dick and clearly didn’t leave ego at the door, tut tut!
@@Mendleson replace "woman" with smaller weaker opponent .. rolling is rolling .. yes, if it was a teenage boy same thing, or if it's me at 70kg vs mr average at 90 kg, rolling is rolling. you need to calibrate to the opponent, and if the opponent is a woman a child or a man "half your size" then don't be a dick
i just wanna leave a comment on youtube nah fuck that, woman crying out for equal rights so let’s do just that!!
I watched till the end. Great philosophy of life.👍
Love your videos bro super helpful during my white belt depression and growth lol. Appreciate you
Hope all is well brother. Looks like the school is doing great. Glad to see the veterans of that school like yourself and Chad still holding it down.
My first day in class, the instructor put me against a smaller purple belt. I had wrestled for 12 (13 if you count training for one tournament another year) and coached it for 2. I knew I had no clue how to handle Gi holds/grips, but I figured I could roll with blue belts and at least compete.
This purple belt was maybe 80lb lighter than me, and I could tell full and well the only reason I even held my own at all was because I was so much heavier than him and my experience only really helped me with my hip placements and balance. I never even got the chance to be a mat bully (even though after being a coach for 2 years, i learned fast how to not be a mat bully during wrestling), and i have noticed that my instructor hasn't given anyone else the nod since that first day.
I did MMA for a year or so, I was loving it, met a lot of great people and I was having so much fun, on top of that I was learning so much, so quickly.
Things changed when my former team cut my 2 coaches, they went on to start a new team and things got more serious, we had UFC fighters and top martial artists overseeing our lessons and also teaching us, it all seemed so good, and for a while it was, but then things got worse real fast, a lot of people I’ve met the year prior either stopped doing MMA or left for other teams and a lot of other people came, and it was clear that those people were not interested in respecting their teammates and or learning, but they wanted to “show who’s boss” and in sparring, even tho when never did full contact sparring, they’d throw bomba at you and submit you and not respecting the Tap, after a very short while I got fed up with it and left, never to return.
Join another gym or if that’s your only option suck it up
Love these pep talk I will use this to n every day life. Thanks
Dude it was awesome to see how excited you got about your mats! OSS bro
We had a bully in my judo classes way back. It was a small red center program so it was pretty friendly, but one guy was all business! He was throwing people hard, and trying to choke people out. We where more about technique than power. But some of the people where complaining about him to one of the dans. So he practiced with him. He whipped his ass! This dan was a 3rd degree black belt, and my boss at work! Awesome friendly guy, but he liked to add pain. He wouldn’t do it while free practicing, but when he thought class he would teach you ways to make holds hurt, because if you really get into it, it will end the fight faster, we’ll i heard this bully cry out, My boss was pinching his belly fat while he was pinned in side control!!!! HILARIOUS!
@Daniel 045 that or he took the ass whooping, learned from some of his mistakes and continues to this day throwing people hard because he does not train to get a stretch or for cardio. He trains to fight. It is like you guys are saying you know how to swim like a pro because you have been in the shallow part of the pool with arm floaties on but have never even been in the deep end of the pool. Someimes you have to go hard just for the experience of it. If you are not training like your life depends on it sometimes then when your life does, do not expect good results. I do not train for cardio or to get a good stretch or whatever. I train to actually fight and that involves taking the kid gloves off once a week and getting after it.
I learn so much from this TH-cam.
Recently checked you out not bad man liking the videos and watched all the way thru for the Easter egg haba
this is such a ridiculously underrated channel. every human being needs this lesson and we would be so much more peaceful.
Before I roll with anyone I ask, “what are you tryna get out of this!?” I do this so we both know the level we both need to be at. It’s as simple as that!
Thanks for sharing, Chew. Your author's analogy sounds like it comes from Jordan Peterson, or Karl Jung.
The culture of a gym is set by every member. The seniors belts are the experts, demonstrating skill, humility, respect, and other virtues. White & junior blue belts need to demonstrate that they're willing to learn, to be respectful of others who know things that they do not (whether of senior or junior belt ranks, because we all came from somewhere else), and preferably through showing eagerness/interest in the material and helping their peers by being a good training partner. The point is that each of us can influence the others in our own ways. Sometimes, these lessons need to be taught using "outside the box" methods, such as enforcing.
Do what you must, and try to create an atmosphere which punishes unacceptable behaviors while incentivizing positive ones. Lead by example. Most of the rest will follow suit.
P.S. - Those zebra mats are solid as hell. 50/50 in VA uses them too (shout out to prof. Ryan Hall for his big win a couple of weeks ago)
What a nice guy!
I'd be more than happy to learn from you.
A true teacher!
I have yet to find a single video from you that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed or learned from! Excellent content
Thank you
I don't train JJ but I love your videos, you seem like a great coach. Much respect to the JJ community.
what do you train?
@@rye-bread5236
I don't, a couple of my friends take JJ classes and I roll with them sometimes. I have some back issues that keep me from taking classes, mostly because I don't want to hinder partners by having to ask them to go easy on me. I fell in love w/ JJ from MMA. It's the most exciting and entertaining grappling style. I watch Chuys channel, stuff from Ryan Hall, and all the EBIs.
Ah. Cool at least you're trying bro and learning.
The add on this site, igrapple mobile is fantastic. I used it last night. I got into a bar fight, and the guy got me into a kimora. At that moment I thought "I have an app for this". I fired up the app and watched what to do, then reversed him and tapped him out.
BJJ and bars don't mix
@@southernscythe2494 are you that fucking stupid?
@@southernscythe2494 r/woosh
hobby omg I can't believe the stupidity of people such as yourself. It's clearly a joke. A)you obviously can't use an app in the middle of a fight. B) anyone who knows anything to do with BJJ is that you never use BJJ in a fight where you would be surrounded by others who could stomp on your fucking head while you're wrapped up with your opponent. The fucking stunning stupidity of people like yourself who can't pick up on using a bar as the setting for the fight is part of the joke, makes me laugh even harder.
LOL! Good you didn't wait for the movie to be made about it.
I like how ive never had these problems at my gym but i still watch to learn
Great stuff! I just started training at 40 and the guys at our gym are super cool. No bullys, so far, just fun and encouragement.
