In BJJ there is a move that inexperienced White Belts will do from dominant positions. I jokingly call it the “White Belt Hug.”

The White Belt Hug is where someone just grabs your upper body and squeezes. This typically makes it worse for the person on the bottom in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu because they are pulling the person’s weight even more down on top of them.

So now you have their top pressure combined with your arm strength pulling them down.

Now while the technique is absolutely terrible for escaping. It can be really irritating because it gets in the way and slows things down.

In this video I show a couple of simple options to counter this technique when someone is in Mount..

The 1st is a simple forearm in the throat to create a frame. Pay close attention to how I use my whole body to break the grip.

The second is a simple option where i go to S mount to setup an armbar.

Again, not a complicated technique, but this was the question I was asked so I hope this helps.

Have you ever had a White Belt teacher in your BJJ gym? Someone who was fairly new and insisted on showing you how to do a technique even if it was wrong?

This is the situation our buddy Rich is in currently where he says he says he’s teaching classes but some of the White Belts go off on their own to do things differently.

As a newer Purple Belt coach he was curious what I would recommend for this situation in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym.

In this video I sort of lay out my policy regarding coaching and I also discuss a situation that happened last year where one of the newer White Belts in our BJJ fundamentals class was trying to coach other White Belts.

I also explain why it is so important to learn good Brazilian Jiujitsu technique and why as a BJJ coach you must maintain the culture of your gym.

If you’re someone dealing with a similar situation in your gym then I hope this video is useful to you with your Brazilian Jiujitsu training or coaching.
