How to Go from Wrestling to BJJ with Nick 'Chewy' Albin 

It would be way more difficult for sure.

While this is true. But as an 11 year wrestler who gets FRUSTRATED at all the gi grabbing. I do respect it and am humbled because i stepped into their art. But i dont think ot translates the best into real world applications. In a street fight you pull guard and grab my shirt im punching your face and if you take away that gi 50-60% of the techniques go by by. I dont want to rely on my clothing to win. Because trust me those guys dont like it when i show up for no gi days at our gym and the dudes that get me with the pajamas on are muchhhhh more nullified without it. I find myself winning muchhh more exchanges against the same opponents without the gi

@@kccline380 It’s like removing limbs

Under what rules?

@@denniHimSelf maybe they will invent a sport that mixes all martial arts into into one including grappling arts that would be pretty cool I wonder what they will call it

Polar Bearon me either. I was like wtf are you talking about lol

Polar Bearon 😂

Reacher uk haha.

Absolutely true

🤣🤣

Richard Fishbein glad to hear it!

Chewjitsu I watch a lot of your videos - they are very good - I have a top game, but I’ve used your reversal over the elbow from under side control numerous times - I added a triangle if the opponent posts well.

Its like that chapter from power rangers when all red power rangers go together

Or the tmnt with power rangers

giovanni hahah!

giovanni we will definitely do it if we ever cross paths!

Btw, I'm a 38 year old, previous NCAA division I wrestler for Duke who is just barely getting into BJJ. I have 4 kids so my growth will be slow since my time commitment is little, but my natural athleticism as an ex-wrestler is helping progress at least a little faster than I would have otherwise. I will say though, I echo your go-go-go statement about wrestling. My first few rolls, I was exhausted right away b/c I didn't know what I was doing and was just trying to throw energy at that problem.

You already have the stand up and take downs, you need to practice being on your back more now and practi

Imagine using your legs like another set of hands as defense. You'll start learning sweeps, guards and the hooks.

Immanuel Bruno Bey™ oh I’m understanding that side of it, we have that too when training but it’s more I’m giving up my back more when attacking and using certain hold downs. Kesa-Gatame or scarf hold is one of my go to positions and it works really well against white belts and a lot of Blue belts, but higher blue and up seem to be able to get out very easily

shitmeme dankpost i need to travel, roll at his gym, and get a chewjitsu rashguard! Happy to see him on this channel too

Robert Dumas uh oh!
