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.

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.
