Expect to get the everyday perspective on if and how strength should be used in BJJ, how he broke his tooth and got his nickname, what weird gyms and bad coaches look like, how to deal with athletic guys on the mat and training when you're getting old, focus for white belts, his thoughts on how fast people should be promoted and much more...

Nick 'Chewy' Albin is known by the grappling community globally for his Youtube channel  @Chewjitsu , where he provides insights and guidance to any BJJ practitioner needing support or with a question.

He started training BJJ in 2003 right after high school. He's been training constantly since then and received my black belt from Renato Tavares in 2011. Over the years he's had the chance to experience jiu-jitsu from multiple vantage points. Everything from competing and training 3 times a day to being injured and feeling miserable because he couldn't roll.

He's been teaching full time since 2010 and since then he has either won or helped his students win the Worlds, Pan Ams and other IBJJF tournaments as well as various highly acknowledged tournaments like Grapplers Quest,  NAGA, EG., OGC and many others.
