Slow Down Young Athletic Opponents with This Guard Passing Position
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- In today's video I show a simple half guard top position I've been working on to slow things down with guard passing in BJJ, especially No Gi.
If you've watched any of my stuff in the last year or so you've probably heard me complain about being older. I'm not old by normal standards but by athletic standards I am. I also have some super tough young Purple, Brown and Black Belts that give me all I can handle.
So, to slow down the speed with the passing on top I've been focused on a specific position a lot. It's very similar to a position I've used in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for years and shown on the channel. But in the video, I show some specific adjustments I've been working in to stay tighter, add more pressure and slow my opponents down.

I'm 31 going on 65 thanks for the tips.
Relatable
This speaks to me on a primal level
Don’t say that, I’m 53 going on 3-. Please join me 😊
37 going on 72. Same.
43 going on 78 😂🤷🏻♂️
If Chewy and Adam are old guys-then I’m ancient. Thanks for the upgrade!
Thanks!! As a feisty, younger white belt it’s very helpful to know what kind of tricks the old breed have up their sleeves 😁
And you can use it if you run into someone faster than you. 😉
Lmao 🤣
Yes!Yes!Yes! Give us more "old man" techniques some of us really need them even at 40+! Asking for a friend.....
Thank you for slowing down that speedy youngster Adam 😂
Also, sincerely thank you for constantly showing us details to improve our game!
Thank you Chewy for allowing Adam to show another gem from his vast repertoire! 🙏🙏🙏 oooooOOSss!
Im a 50 yr old whose been training for a few years now. I've always called that half guard squeeze as 'Drowning the Cat' as folks tend to try to explode from the bottom and burn their energy. Love that spot. Than you for the tip on using the kimura attack to get there. Appreciate you man. I'll even forgive you for calling yourself old whippersnapper!
55 year old Blue Belt checking in!
Keep it up! I’m a 35 yr old white belt 2 years in
Adam looking JACKED
I'm 50 and just starting to train again after a long hiatus! This is great because the young guys have the speed and the wind I once had. Now it's a struggle just to get my breathing under control. Great video. Thanks.
Excellent - as a 52 year old no gi grappler … going to work more on this more. Thanks for the reminder too “dig them spurs in!”
I'm 35 when started BJJ casually and the blue belt guy that teaches us always praises me for getting better everytime we roll. Thanks for this great tips Chewy. You're the man.
Regards from Brazil, I'm watching your videos to improve my English hearing comprehension and also my BJJ game as a blue belt ... Working great so far, thx for the content bro...
Been working this position and have been hitting some issues. Those little details completely ironed them out! Thanks Chewy!
Happy to help!
Super useful, thank you. I'm 40 and autoimmune arthritis is starting to slow me down quite a bit. Positions like these are what keep me on the mats.
same. im 19 and have psoriatic arthritis
@@DonavanBarraza PsA for me too. Terrible thing, it is.
Hold your heads up high Comrads. Most people that are healthy don't even appreciate it and you guys perform one of the most taxing Sports in the world. Keep pushing it Brothers!
Adam's bubbly excitement is always so infectious! SPIRIT FINGERS!
I started at 37 with plenty of previous body problems (knees, back and such) When I first started I tried to keep up with the younger guys. Gradually learning to staple guys down inch by inch.
I never imagined something I did to survive as a “spry” no stripe white belt would be on TH-cam, or by the Immortal Chewjitsu! That is so freaking awesome man!
“My lovely assistant Swole Adam” 💪🏼
My kids (daughter 10 y old and son 8 y old) train jiu jitsu. Outside the classes we watch your videos, trying to be better. You explain so well and simple. Bro keep going. Thank you very much. Wish my kids would train with you one day.
41. I started four months ago, and these young cats have endless energy.
Lol, awesome! Old man BJJ is my favorite BJJ! I've been utilising those passes for some time and they're super powerful when it comes to absolute control and slowing right down. I've been working further on those points you highlighted with the chest to chest and keeping your head right down towards the ground....aka focusing on the pressure game.
I appreciate this, thank you…. I started a little over a year ago & I’ll be 46 in a week. Sometimes my old body won’t do things my brain tells it to & I look for work arounds or better understanding of positions, thx for all your advise knowledge & time. 👍🤓& Hi Adam 🖐🏻🤚🏻🤘🏻🔥💕you guys are awesome.
Adam is getting biceps!
Some very helpful fundamental details in this one, thanks Chewy!
This is so wild. It's like you're describing my game. Great details to take away from here though. The back muscles one is really interesting. For tougher guards to pass, I try to just make it to half guard and go from there.
I started bjj at 32, I have been doing this pass but you showed me 2 crucial details i've done out of order and go rolled on.
Lol, I naturally started doing this as soon as I turned 40 without anyone ever showing me this technique! I guess I just adapted to rolling with younger faster guys while I just got older and more disabled. It's my favorite way to pass and submit while still being able to conserve energy.
Appreciate you for this. Just getting back into the game after being away during Covid. Going to try this to slow things down a bit.
I’m putting this one in my pocket, nothing like a good slow pressure pass. Thank you!
great breakdown chewy
43 thanks we old dudes need it! Ossssa 🤙🏽
Just in time for the class. I was just thinking about this exact scenario the other day
Adam has slowed down his BJJ training to concentrate on his biceps. Watch out this spring....suns out, guns out!!!
Definitely my favorite passing position
your entire half guard moves have been what ive done for years i see it more as pressure passing rather than old man passing lol
i've been tilting my head like a curious dog the whole time :D cinematography jokes aside, nice video. i am more of a left leaner myself while photographing, so it comes from a good place
i do this all the time but without THESE details, so great
Thank you I need these old man moves being a 54 year old.
that's a really nice vid. Lotta good details
Yes Big Chew 😀👍
Here's me 22 and lean still watching because these wrestlers are so ruthless😂
Nice details!
Nice guns Adam
I've been trying to pull this pass off for a while and kept getting swept. I 'figure 4' my feet which stopped the hooks taking me over for a sweep but still struggled when my weight went forward. I think the head adjustment might be what I was missing. Thanks for sharing.
I’m in my 20’s but I feel like I’m in my 50’s this is gonna work wonders against the OAPs 😈
BRILLIANT!!!
I love how positions that I naturally use as a 32 y.o. I then find out they are called "older guy jiujitsu stuff" 🤣
“AARP Cards” 😂
As an aging guy who's high school nickname was "Slowens," I appreciate this video lol
Adam on that Donald Cerrone diet plan!
Thanks really enjoyed the video!
Good stuff!
And I am putting this in my old man tool bag.
Good luck.
Adam seems to be a very complex, deep individual.
Nice 👍🏼
Old man this is my bread and butter in my 20s
Awesome
As Eddie Bravo once noted: "Chest to chest half guard is where good black belts go to die"
Adam is my favorite Pokemon
🔥🔥🔥
Hey Chew, great content man. Just wanted to know, how do you deal with hip switching when you go for your kimuras? It looks like your colleague can just bridge you and sweep from half guard, while he has the underhook.
Good question for a video!
genius
is adam on the juice?
What would be your plan vs the Lockdown? Do you try to avoid it alltogether by positioning your legs?
Saving for a video
@@Chewjitsu Nice, looking forward.
Sometimes I think ,if I only 20 years younger🤔?? Then I laugh 😂🤣. I’d still be 20 to 25 years older than most the guys. Still they a good bunch.
Is a relatively fit 35 yr old considered old? I’m def starting to feel it
I’m athletics, yes. You’re getting there.
How old are you?
You're not old I'm 59 and rolling I'm old you're still young
You’re not old, I rolled with a 62 year old black belt. In fairness, one of his knees was half his age lol
No offense here but I just started BJJ 3 years ago and I'm 60. So I guess the old guy thing is subjective.
You look younger. Must be BJJ.
sooooo olddddd!!!!!!!!!
Practically in a nursing home. . . I can still wrist block though. 😂
@@Chewjitsu Im going to take your cain away
4:28
If Sambo was easy it would be called jujitsu
Always here for old man techniques at the ripe old age of 37. Good stuff!
