Simple Fix to a Big Problem when Breaking Guard in BJJ

Do you have trouble maintaining good posture when breaking full guard? This is a big problem for a lot of people. . . not just White Belts.

In today’s video I’m addressing this issue as our friend is getting broken down constantly in his BJJ training when he tries to break the full guard so he can pass.

In the video I explain a little maxim or rule I have for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I picked it up from a friend and I’ve used it ever since.

That is. . . the “Belly Button” rule.

Basically this means. Don’t let our body move over top of their belly button.

To do so would mean that our center of gravity is right over top of their body and in a vulnerable position.

This is No Bueno.

So in Brazilian Jiujitsu when we are breaking guard. We want to make sure our body doesn’t move over their belly button or belt line.

If you’re having trouble breaking the closed guard or even getting caught in certain sweeps. Then I hope this is useful to you.
