Chewjitsu Podcast
A weekly podcast for Jiu-Jitsu practitioners where a BJJ coach and a physical therapist discuss training, mindset, and interview grappling experts.
A conversational podcast where a veteran BJJ coach and a physical therapist share insights for dedicated grapplers. Episodes alternate between co-host discussions on specific training concepts, like finding "battle buddies" or drilling strategies, and long-form interviews with competitors, coaches, and individuals who have applied Jiu-Jitsu in high-stakes, real-world situations.
“The dual-host format pairing a long-time coach's practical mat advice with a physical therapist's clinical perspective on injury prevention and recovery sets it apart from other BJJ podcasts. This combination provides a holistic view of the grappling lifestyle.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Chewy and Eugene foster a relaxed, locker-room conversational atmosphere. They often open by framing the guest's key story or accomplishment to build excitement, then allow the guest to narrate their experience in a long, uninterrupted stretch. Their follow-up questions are specific and practical, probing for details on technique ("Was there anything that gave you an issue?"), process, or mindset ("What skill level is needed...?"). They use humor and shared experiences to build rapport, making the interview feel less like an interrogation and more like a peer-to-peer discussion.
The show alternates between two primary formats: co-host deep dives and guest interviews. The tone is consistently relaxed, conversational, and practical, feeling like a post-training chat between experienced practitioners. The hosts frequently use personal anecdotes from their decades on the mat to illustrate their points.
