  10 Annoying Myths In BJJ (Episode 424) 20.07.2026 1h 29min

  On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss 10 annoying Jiu-Jitsu myths. Strength doesn't matter and technique conquers all. The only way to get good at BJJ is to train really hard. Being a black belt means you are a good person. Being a black belt means you are more disciplined. Gym owners are "money-grubbing evil-doers" who only want to extract money from their members. You need brand new never before seen techniques to be good at BJJ. Training sport Jiu-Jitsu will not be effective in preparing you for a self-defense scenario. Helio Gracie was a sick and frail individual who invented leverage. The Gi is boring. BJJ competitors should be paid millions of dollars like other athletes.

  5 Traits of Successful Grapplers (Episode 423) 13.07.2026 1h 7min

  On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss 5 traits of successful grapplers. We discuss the following ideas: Know when to go and when to chill (also to focus on breathing and decreasing tunnel vision). Focus on small battles (grips, hand fighting, and inside position). Train with deliberate intent (don't try to win every round and don't be a needy grappler). Be able to relax in bad spots. Know when to go and when to give ground (don't fight to the death on every position). Bonus Idea: Play the long game.
