Breaking Grips In BJJ : 2 Ways To Break Collar Grips In Guard

So one of the readers of the blog sent an email to me recently. He asked if I had any tips about breaking grips from inside the full guard. After class I went ahead and did a short video on 2 techniques you can try in order to break the collar grips. They’re two that I use often and have plenty of success with.

Breaking grips is such an important part of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. In BJJ if you control the grips you more than likely control the match. Think of it this way. What do your instructors say whenever you’re working on a technique? It’s usually instructions for where your hands are to be placed.

Thinking of it that way. If you control where you’re opponent’s hands can be, then you control the match. Make sure that you’re putting forth time in your training for breaking grips.

Hope the video helps!
