Create Heavy Top Pressure in BJJ With Easy Bodyweight Awareness Tip
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 вер 2019
- One thing almost everyone wants to do in BJJ is add more top pressure to Side Control and Mount positions. I'm sure you've know the saying "position before submission" and you'll also learn (if you don't already know) that the better you hold position the easier the submission comes. So adding a extra pressure from top is not only important for control it's also crucial for your submission game.
In this video I answer a question from someone who says their coach tells them to, "Add more top pressure to make the bottom person uncomfortable." But he's curious, how do you add more top pressure in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
So in this video I share a tip that's been useful to me. And to be honest I didn't really absorb this lesson till I was probably a Black Belt. So if you get it sooner than me, you're off to a better start than I was.
The Brazilian Jiujitsu lesson is really simple. It involves being aware of your bodily positioning. Sounds easy, but often there are a lot of moving parts to each position and the actual connection to the other persons body happens without much conscious thought.
So if you're wanting to add more pressure to BJJ positions from top then I hope this video is useful to you in your BJJ training or competitions in the future.

Pro tip. To add pressure, remind your opponent their parents are getting older and older and they haven't been spending enough time with them and one day they won't be able to.
HAHA. Wrong pressure!
Made me sad ngl
I got a tap from this
LMAOOOO this had me dead 😂🤣🤣
so in adams case when you hear him transform into a pissed off cobra; youre in the right spot.
*Yes*
ssssssssssssst
LMAOOOOOOO
S-mount stands for snake mount.
Are we just going to ignore that Adam doesn't blink for almost 2 minutes?
Ray we don’t talk about that
Hes Reptile.
Adam only blinks when you blink.
Love the return of the phone throwing. Keep those judo phone skills sharp!
Adam always finds ways to give his input in subtle ways. For example, @ 2:58 he illustrates the secret BJJ right handed pressure relief grip. Works every time.
Made you look. Great job Adam.
Adam talks too much... other than that great video!
Yeah, he does talk way too much!
Its his personality lool i can see myself doing this sometimes
🤣🤣🤣🤣
adam?
*Adam*
Has Adam ever said anything else than Adam? Love you Adam
Yesterday when I was rolling with these tall muscular dudes, I ended up in the same problem of not being able to put any pressure, Me being only 5'3 and about 62Kgs, this is what I wanted to know since yesterday and thankfully this video comes out the very next day!
Thank you for the video! I really appreciate it and will definitely implement it into my training and get my pressure top game up to par.
This is exactly what I needed after today’s session. Brilliant
This channel is a blessing
The subtle video speed-ups are appreciated
One detail that's been helping me lately is too relax.... Relax so you pay attention and get into that sweet spot to cause pressure....
Implemented some of these techniques in yesterday’s afternoon class, to the point where one of my partners commented on the difference in my pressure. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome! Glad they helped brother.
Love when Adam does the Jazz Hands 👐 when he is introduced 🤣. Chewy another great video.
Very useful video Chewie!!! Never looked at it that way but it makes lot of sense!! Thanks
Glad it made sense! Thanks for the message!
Adam was a trooper for this. Respect.
This was very useful, so thank you for the lesson!
Glad the lesson was useful for you!
Thank you for this video. This is something I have issues with.
Great video
thanks
Thank you for this!! 🤘🏼
Hey chewy, your videos are awesome! I'm just starting out. I'm 37. What are some good movements I can practice while I'm sitting around the house.
Gold tips, thanks Chew.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Chewys training partner for today is a disgruntled one punch man #saitama 🤜🏼🔥👹😂
Surface area is what also helps you stay on top. My favourite move was the scarf hold where you position yourself on someone's chest with your legs wide spread to the sides and with your arm under the head
Very simple and wonderful tip especially for n00bs like me lol. Good stuff Chewy!
Great video!! Thanks!!
Thank you!
@@Chewjitsu Oss brother! Your videos help a lot I'm a white belt over at Fight Sports Miami under Cyborg. Always look forward to your lessons dude 🤙🏽
Hey I actually live in Louisville but I’m studying in shanghai for six months and started jiujitsu a few weeks back so I’d have something to do and I’m really enjoying it. Just started watching your vids and I’d love to join your gym once I’m back from China.
How is it Going?
Thanks, Chewy! As a 160lb lanky teenager, I can use the help. Especially mount. I tend to struggle to keep them pinned down while going for my attacks. This helped a lot, thanks!
(XD Adam makes me laugh.)
I’m learning this. It’s great to be able to smash 💥
Based on the first 40 seconds of the video, I'm guessing Adam is either stoned off the charts, or he's practising his Eyeball Laser Beam of Murder Death Kill.
All kidding aside, awesome video Chewy! Been following you for a while now, and you just keep posting great stuff - thanks man!
Also, Adam...I'm very appreciative of you sacrificing another 6 minutes of your life getting the air pressed out of you for the sake of our learning experience.
Keep up the amazing work guys!
Haha thanks for the comment Raymond. Made me laugh a bit.
Adam has a leak brother. Great video. I broke my rib one year ago and if someone puts his weight on me it feels like i will break it again. So i hold my breath and it works great for that. 👍🏻
Adam rocks!!!
I seem to get rib bruising from people applying a lot of pressure when they are on top of me. Maybe make a video about how to try to negate top pressure?
Frames?
Chewy I've been watching your channel for a minute now and enjoy it very much... I have a question that maybe you could help me with... I have a 14 year old son that started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at the age of 5 took about three years off... An now he just started back again about 6 months ago... Since he has been there he has progressed very quickly... That the coaches and professor invited him to train with the adults and to help coaches the tiny champions class... So now he is training with the adults... He's training seven days a week including open mat on Sundays 3 to 4 hours a day... An he is also helping coach 4 days out the week... Sometimes I ask him if he wants to take the day off and his answer is "Hell nawww the grind never stops" lol... My questions is it to much and should I have him take it back a notch??? My only concern is his health... I don't want to see him getting injured due to doing so much...
man be lucky he will be a black belt with 20 and maybe a world champ!
Guaranteed this was Adam’s favourite “Adam” after the video.
White belt checking in. Watched this before class and had all the purple belts groaning and complimenting after rolls. Chewy you are always clutch.
Purple belt here. Are you still training? How is your progress going?
@@carsondwayne Yes, I am! Blue belt now. I took some time off for Covid but just got back into it 2 weeks ago.
@@iloveibanez92 Good to hear! I'm also laying low right now waiting for places to re-open... can't wait to start training again
ADAM!!!
Adam with the Rambo face!
I heart Adam
I got a question I’m new to your Channel I’m thinking about joining BJJ in Texas my weight is 270 any advice
00:41 @Adam is everyone after a couple of 6 minute rounds.
Why is my guy just staring into the Cam ? lmao.. I love it 😂
He's having a staring contest with everyone.
Lol Adam at 0:50"
Who the f thumb downed this¿ awesome advice chew!!😎
People who can't escape bottom positions.
I am too stoned for Adam, that’s some funny shit. I have focused for years to not only keep weight on them but transition from position to position with our releasing pressure, mixed with strikes they really couch up subs, but my question is how do you keep your energy output in check? It takes a lot of energy to keep pressure on them too instead of flowing
Adam’s response 🤣
Adam at 5:02 lol
King of top pressure check out Roy Harris old school bjj
Lmaooo.. tell your boy on the left there to ease up next time eh? Felt like he was staring into my soul those first 30 seconds..
Adam does Adam.
HEY CHEWY! I really need your advice! I really want to train jujitsu but I'm having a hard time overcoming the fear. I've been going to a mma gym where they also teach bjj for about 5 weeks now for 1 or 2 classes per week. I was also taking their striking and wrestling classes as well until one day the wrestling coach told us how he'd lost about 15 people because of serious injuries from falling improperly and breaking ribs or limbs. I got scared and decided to do bjj and striking only. I recently looked up bjj injuries online and that really scared me. My parents are against me doing any martial art anyways because they think it's dangerous and 'barbaric'. I get anxious whenever I'm heading out to the gym thinking this would be the day I get a nasty injury and regret it for the rest of my life. I do use a mouthguard but I'm still worried I'll mess up my ears or twist my neck and get paralyzed or something. I live in Pakistan's capital city and there are only two mma gyms that teach bjj here. I visited the other one but the head coach was a Chinese guy that actually specialized in tai chi. My gym is quite good (it's considered one of the best in the country) but the overall atmosphere is not relaxed and some of the people get really aggressive when training. The head bjj coach is a nice guy but he's a purple belt. There are about 20 students training there in total, mostly white belts. I'm studying engineering at a really good university as well and the added stress isn't helping at all. I really REALLY want to train but the fear is debilitating and I'm thinking of quitting altogether. I honestly don't know whether this fear is irrational because a lot of people seem to get injured doing this stuff. Im ok with minor injuries but I don't want injuries that'll stay with me forever. Should I just give up on my dream of doing martial arts and just start golf? How real are the risks involved?
I've been binge watching dozens of your videos over the past month and I love your insight. You're a cool guy and a great coach! Wish you luck
Hey chewy would really a reply
It's fine. (Hope it heps)
Thank god you un-popped the socket before throwing the phone.
Is yoga recommended for jiu jitsu?
Hey everyone I need an advice..
In our place judo clubs are popular and cheaper than bjj school.. Bjj trainers are mostly mma fighters nd train bjj as per their needs.. So if I join judo then will it be worthwhile
At the moment my top pressure seems to be the best thing i can do when i roll. Some people have asked me if I've wrestled before which i haven't lol.
I feel like more experienced white belts and some bluebelts might not like what i do because i struggle to take it anywhere else but seem to be able to hold position (unless its my 3rd or 4th roll where i gas out and they kick my ass)which is probably frustrating for the other person but isn't the first 6 months on the matt just surviving?
I just want to know if anyone else has been in the same position. Should i just continue as i am.and try to learn new things to incorporate or try to learn jiujitsu on the back foot defensively.
Its been just over 6 months for me doing BJJ by the way.
Probably not going to happen but Chewy if you can answer this I'd very much appreciate it bro
Yep, you got the right idea. Survive and learn!
It's the same with everything: practice. Start by focusing on getting 1 finish from 1 position. Work it until it's muscle memory (AND SLEEP 8 HOURS. It strengthens neural connections involved in muscle memory) and then try another finish. You also could turn your pressure into an advantage. Catch Wrestling is a form of grappling that systematically prefers top pressure, while still using submissions. No gi is similar, especially for practitioners who prefer to be on top. You can look for their techniques that attack from the top, focus on one that you think you can do, and then drill that.
Thanks for the tip. I have a question from the other side. I mean, is there something I can train to be more confortable with someones weight on my ribcage? Or is it always uncomfortable and that's how jiujitsu is. White belts here
I've asked for advice about this in the past, i'll give u a comprehensive list on what i've been told:
1. Stop being a baby
2. Work on framing and escaping
3. Get on your side
4. Just keep training
5. Stop panicking
In conclusion I think it's just something u have to get used to and cant be helped. Recently in my rolls I'm working on whenever someone is crushing me to actively calm myself down and think how to escape. Hope this helps
I might not be applying the saying perfectly, but my coach talks about “smearing” them into the mat. I think it’s to say that pressure doesn’t always have to be just straight down. Anyone else hear this?
My coach talks about something similar. Tells us to be like a knife spreading butter 😂
Judo and Wrestlers are great at pinning. They resemble 3x more than their own weight.
I’m a small white belt. 5’ 10” 160 lbs. Smallest guy in my gym. I’m skinny and lanky. The pressure is the #1 killer for me rn. Especially when a higher belt gets on me just to demonstrate something. I can’t breathe. Is this normal? Do I just need to suck it up?
Pressure just below the xiphoid process
Need this!! I asked my drilling partner how my pressure is and he just shrugged his shoulders as if to say “Well, um it’s kind of barely there..”😢😢😂😂
Same basically.. now imma try this at open mat tmrw
@@RyanMintzI'm big and heavy, but I don't have pressure sooooooooooo now I should lol
Top mount means S-guard/S-flip
Can this cause injuries? I was sparring today and my chest hurts like shit I just started bjj and I don’t want to kill myself
What if you’re standing up
Try and watch what Octavio Couto's doing
Heavy top pressure is all I know
When watching your videos, if I happen to make eye contract with Adam, I get very insecure....
Lmao the intro
Phone rep: So how did your phone stop working?
Chewy: Yeah, idk, just stopped working for no reason and I really baby this thing.
Phone rep: Could it be because 0:39 ?
Chewy: No, totally unrelated
Haha. ;) Hopefully they don't watch my videos.
Adamsssssssssssss
My eyes keep jumping to Adam from time to time 👀
Tssssssssssssssssstt
Chewie is the type of guy to chew alot
That guys face 😂 he looks like he's thinking.. man ! top pressure SUCKS.. I'd rather be at D.Q
I'm really starting to worry about your phone.
Hardest RBF I've ever seen
Chewy rules
Thanks David!
The bald guy creeps me out lol!
Damn Chewy, you got Adam looking like a big dying cockroach with his arms flailing out like that
That depressing track at the end of the vid........ so depressing.
Heavy top pressure?
*Khabib wants to know your location*
I am like Amy Schumer on top of a brah
Send me location
Lol who are these losers that dislike Chewy’s videos??
Hey man. The Chewster isn't for everyone.
Chewjitsu Thanks for making these videos man. I’m a blue belt who took over my university’s jiu-jitsu club after the previous instructor had a falling out with the rec center and left unceremoniously. Your videos have really helped me find my own style of instructing and sharing jiu-jitsu with the world🥋
Does this guy Adam ever stop yapping??
Did you just call me fat??
uke too serious but has jazz hands....um this is a lot to like process you know?
Adam. From one baldy to another. You looking kinda rough round the edges. Next time shave your head during the pressure lesson.
Don't you talk badly about Adam's appearance!
Chewjitsu I’m part of the BJJ team. BJJ=Bald Jiu Jits. Just lookin out. Lol. You guys are awesome btw. Second to none. Love the podcast
4:43 - end... Adam is showing how much fun it was to be squished by Chewy!
