Dominate the Grip Battle to Break Full Guard as a BJJ White Belt

When stuck inside someone’s Full Guard in BJJ. What should you be going for? Breaking grips, passing, posture, etc?

This is the question that comes to us from Jordan Patricio who is having issues working out of Full Guard during Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

In this video I touch on the basic prioritization with grip breaking, posturing up and passing the Guard.

One of the big ideas I touch on in the video is the idea of dominating grips after their broken. This way it stops the person from reestablishing their grips again.

And the second big idea is to view the Full Guard as a bad position for the person on top. And as such. When you’re on top. Look at it as an escape situation instead of a offensive situation.

This mindset shift to breaking and passing the guard helped me to slow down in this position.

If you’re in these situations in BJJ. I hope this video is helpful.
