- Starting in wrestling and going to BJJ can be tough because the techniques are similar but different. In this video Nick 'Chewy' Albin takes you through the moves, adaptations and mindset shifts you need to make to have a successful transition from one grappling sport to another!
Check out the episode I did with Chewy on The Strenuous Life Podcast here: www.grapplearts.com/chewjitsu/

"You wouldn't have gotten the gi choke if we didn't have a gi on." lol best line ever.
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
Funny I find myself telling these same things when wrestlers show up and want to do submission grappling. The one I found the hardest though (since I was also a wrestler) was the fact people go to their backs willingly that is a total mind freak for a wrestler.
My two favorite bjj/youtubers joining forces!
Absolutely awesome.. eventually grappling one day will be united as one whole again. wrestling, jiu jitsu, judo, catch wrestling
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
@@andrewgiegerich6125 nogi bjj
Lol I never felt more called out with that last point about starting in guard and getting up to the takedown
Awesome tips! wrestled all my life in Pennsylvania so I'm easily taking guys down with singles and sweeps all day in BJJ as I just started, but shit it's not long before I'm choked out or put in some sort of leg lock... so much more to learn. Lmk if you post some more vids like this!
My 2 fave BJJ CZcamsrs collaborating? Awesome!
I would LOVE to see a series fir wrestlers starting out in BJJ. It's been 15 years and a couple injuries since then, but I'm about try rolling and am nervous.
Beyond the mental side of it (covered here) having some good moves that would translate easy from common wrestling ones. Examples (just ideas, never rolled before) front head lock -darce &anaconda, head n arm to arm triangle, cow catcher-gullotine. Am I the only one that wants to leverage my previous experience?
I didn't realize I wasn't on Chewie's channel.
Polar Bearon me either. I was like wtf are you talking about lol
Polar Bearon 😂
I really needed this video. Thank you
Top ten anime cross overs
Now for a collab with both Stephan and Chewy in the same location. Dreams do come true...
I just started drilling my hip escapes everyday and sometimes when I see your moves, I realize why the hip escapes and drills are so important. I am just really drilling the basics here :D
I'll admit, I did not look at who had posted this and wondered why chewie introduced himself, haha.
Reacher uk haha.
I feel like wrestlers have an advantage over new non grappling background folks. When it comes to top control positions and keeping them under control.
Absolutely true
This is the exact video I need
IT HAPPENED! My dream collaboration!
Thanks, good advice
As a wrestler of 12 years that recently started BJJ every single thing you said resonated with me and before I even watched this video i realized that keylocks and kimuras were easy for me to get to
Hi Chewy, I really like your videos, they are helping me a lot in my first month of BJJ, especially to understand what is the purpouse of rolls. I have been doing garage wrestling for years and when I had my first roll (with a white belt), something very interesting happen: We started from knee on floor position and I could see, he didnť watched his hips at all (actually I haven't met yet any BJJ who watches his/her hips). So I dived for the hips, took down and got mount. In that moment in my head I was like: "Boooom, dadadaaaa I got the mount easy as pie an now............... wait, I have no idea how to submit *cricket noise* "
🤣🤣
Just. Go. For. The. Takedown.
I wasn’t even a wrestler, but I got a lot out of this anyway...
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.
wow is this a cross over episode!
Its like that chapter from power rangers when all red power rangers go together
Or the tmnt with power rangers
giovanni hahah!
strong collab is strong
A bit late, but that armbar though in the beginning... noiceee
I'm 41, an ex wrestler and now a one stripe white belt, yes the gi sucked, all the new grips I hated it, on my back was a huge no no, and I'd give up my back almost willingly because I should still be able to escape. How wrong I was...
Six months in, I love gi more than nogi, and I don't mind being on my back and working from there now, and once I figured out triangles from guard life got a touch easier lol...
Today I learned what Chewy's real name is, and it wasn't even on his own channel.
best grappling channels TOG£THER?!?!
Look at Chewy's foot. Goddamn!
Yeah I'm probably gonna be doing no gi though
Nice but the 2 of you togrther would be great
giovanni we will definitely do it if we ever cross paths!
Sao Paulo Pass.
Your comment about where the name "Americana" came from is pretty much true, but there's a little more to it that you'll find in this little gem of a short documentary about when wrestling met BJJ: czcams.com/video/J5taRlxH23g/video.html
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.
Can either of you tell me how to go from judo to bjj. My back keeps getting taken....haha
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
Im a wrestler going to bjj. No way in hell im going to wear that gi.
Chewjitsu is better than BJJ.
shitmeme dankpost i need to travel, roll at his gym, and get a chewjitsu rashguard! Happy to see him on this channel too
And who the fuck would want to do that
Looks like a black belt doesn't know how to tie his belt properly
Robert Dumas uh oh!
