I remember a defining moment. I was working stand up against my coach. He asked me afterward, "why are you doing that?" when I brought up grips. "That? Which part coach?". "That's what I mean. What is your intention when you grab?". Eye-opening moment that elevated everything I was doing.
Standing Rule #1: Steal/Kill the sleeve when same-sided (Aiyotsu) to keep your opponent off your lapel, and Climb the Rope (cross-grip and slide up the lapel) in opposite-sided (Kenkayotsu) to establish a dominant inside lapel grip first. Standing Rule #2: if Rule #1 doesn't work (your opponent knows what he is doing), either post on the weak side collar or pin their advanced hand to their hip. That's about it. Everything else comes from those two rules, it is just a matter of moving grips once you have dominant position. Kumite (grip fighting) is so much about movement and relative positioning that much of it falls apart in ne waza since your relative positions are more fixed due to the ground blocking one direction of an axis of movement. Jimmy Pedro and Travis Stevens have some great videos about this if you guys want to get a 30k foot plan going for your standing game.
@@joshuajacobs6481 Just the Japanese terms for same-sided and opposed stances. Aiyotsu would be RvR or LvL, and Kenkayotsu would be RvL. Since your relative position is different, you have to approach gripping differently. Hope that helps.
As a Felipe that was serching for grip fighting videos, i found this very clarifying!
😂
Me too. 😂
Adam’s camera stare down is becoming legendary…

Bro, just watch Adam for the first 20 seconds while listening to Chewy. Pure entertainment. 😂
😴
Son of a…
Adam has been feeding us comedy gold this whole time, and I never knew!
“That’s just an idea to CHEW on?” Well played. 😄
Adam is the smartest man on youtube. I've never heard him say anything that was incorrect.
just me or adam's stare got more intense?!
So obvious, yet totally overlooked that thank you
Man I'm 1.5 years into BJJ. And I still kinda wonder this question with stand up
Take like 2 months of judo you'll be more comfortable with standing grip fighting.
Great video, that makes me think about what the hell I was doing over the last year:)
Grips are so key. They can be great to distract or great to defend just in that sense alone.
Thanks Chewy for the info.
Thank you

What are the words that you put in parenthesis from?

this vid was awesome alot of good instructions easy to understand just subbed
God bless Felipe
Just shows that most instructors dont explain the logic behind why or what and us white belts have to resort to the Man himself... In Chewy we trust!
Thank you, Professor Chewy!
This will help me a lot.
Nikolas
Your movements look so natural
More white belt videos please, still learning how to break guard….
Great video! Essentially as is the answer to most things: It depends!
And first heart for Chewy:)
He goes in for the whisper 😂❤
You training partner is fkn hilarious
I am a White belt, so thanks for the lesson. I would like to know your thoughts on Kase Gatame?
Dan bilzerian does jitsu?
Well, of course you don’t want to use the name Bob… Silent Bob is already in the video
Does being taller than your opponent have any advantage in bjj?
Yes, and being shorter than your opponent gives you an advantage as well.
The only disadvantage position that I have found is being me.
👊🏻
Sweet
👍
dont fight- grapple!
✋🤣🫱
