The Chewjitsu Podcast

In this Rules For Jiu-Jitsu episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the importance of being vulnerable to improve in BJJ.
We discuss why people are afraid to take action, using the "worst case scenario" to limit fear, why you should "tae the bait" in training, why vulnerability requires the right environment, the importance of taking decisive action, and advice for white belts afraid to be vulnerable on the mats.

On this episode we answer an e-mail question from "Bob" who has been told he is too passive and polite when training with teens and women, but is too on aggressive when training with inexperienced white belts due to fear of injury.
"Bob" asks about proper training etiquette and what he can do to keep himself safe on the mats.
Chewy and Eugene share some ideas on how to tap into and harness aggression in order to better control it, the importance of learning to wield your aggression, why martial arts is great for controlling aggression, why you should expect white belts to do "dumb things", why you should roll with white belts like its a "fight," why intention is important, how to not overreact on the mats, and how to increase aggressiveness on the mats.
