Chewy (aka Nick Albin) is well known for the BJJ advice he gives on his prolific Chewjitsu channel, so I was thrilled to have him on the podcast.
It’s a great chat and we cover a ton of material, including
- How he got his nickname,
- His journey from wrestling to MMA to jiu-jitsu,
- Gi vs no gi training,
- Preventing injuries in training,
- Why he decided to leave tech and go full time in jiu-jitsu,
- Getting his black belt on the same day that his mother died,
- How jiu-jitsu saves lives,
- His youtube channel,
- Crazy gyms and insane coaches,
- And more.
