Summary
On this episode of the podcast, Chewy discusses why he needed to develop his “older grappler” BJJ game to adapt to training and to remain competitive against younger and more athletic grapplers.
Chewy discusses how he started to discover this new element to his game, the position he would go to when fatigued, the moment Chewy decided to change his game, ideas on “uneven pressure” in side control, how to implement this style of grappling into your game, how to close the distance for chest to chest position, how to conserve your energy from top and when to move to the next position, what determines the effectiveness of the half guard position, the mantra for older grapplers, how to be more comfortable from bottom position, and one of the simplest ways to make your half guard passing more effective.
