Common Misconception About White Belt Survival in BJJ

In today's BJJ video I cover what I believe is a common misconception about White Belt survival in Jiu-jitsu training. This video is in response to another Chewy Q&A I did where I spoke about 70% of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is won and lost in the guard passing battle. This include passing guard, sweeping, not getting swept, guard retention, etc.
You can watch that original video where I discussed the idea to a White Belt who was feeling overwhelmed with techniques here: • Win More BJJ Matches &...
Now in this video I talk about the misconception and break it down visually with Adam to illustrate my point. I hope this video helps you think of being able to survive in BJJ as more than just balling up and getting smashed on bottom. Because I believe if you're strong from the guard passing (top and bottom) battle you'll be ale to survive longer.
Hope the video is useful to you and your BJJ training.
Thanks for watching.

This is exactly the kind of video I needed to see. Question for a future video how much of jiu jitsu is learned through the mind and how much is learned through the body? How does that process occur in your experiences? Do you find that process is streamlined as you get more experience?

Okay, although you are right, there is a place to start, and as you said, the beginner needs to understand first how to protect himself, and gradually open up to the attacks. At least that is what I think.

Hey Chewy thanks for this! I have a question as a white belt: I keep getting my back taken at the gym. I do a decent job at escaping/transitioning in and out of most basic positions, but I keep getting caught in someone’s back mount. You have a few videos on how to escape the rear naked choke, but what would you advice on avoiding/escaping back mount? Thanks, you’re the best!

@BJJTK 3 жыл бұрын

Are they taking the back from full mount, side control, or are they arm dragging you into that position?

@jacobday3826 3 жыл бұрын

I'm going to approach the most common back take because your question is a little broad. In guard you can't over commit to a single side. For example, last night I had a white belt try to Americana me in my full guard, I just popped around to his back. Most commonly people say to place one hand on each side, you can also base off of your shoulder (onto their hip, almost as if you're in a downward dog position), or wrap your opponent's legs with their gi or belt.

Jacob Day thanks for the reply, I left it vague hoping to get a variety of answers since I haven’t pinpointed exactly what positions I’m in before they take my back. I’ll keep your answer in mind for tonight’s roll!

@ryang9973 3 жыл бұрын

@@thegentlemandrummer8753 this is the same thing that used to happen to me. Work on keeping your limbs in really tight leaving to gaps and chin tucked from turtle (there's videos on it) and don't stay in turtle for more than a few seconds as there is really no offensive options. Most subonly guys would agree it's better to have someone on you side control than turtle due to the defensive options.

Hey Chewy. Question, if you train at a Gym where you have multiple coaches how do you move up in belt rank? I understand some promote you with attendance, but if it's based on skill and what you've learned, how do they know you're ready to move up from white to blue and so on? Thanks in advance.

Hey Chewy, I'm a white belt that struggles with rolls against big guys. I'm an average sized woman but I struggle locking in some of the standard guards (even full guard) because I run out of leg and can't even lock my ankles XD. There are often no other students of a similar size to practice with. Do you have any suggestions for alterations? Thanks and I love the videos! :D

Absorb all of course. But focus on fewer. You’ll never master everything. Better to have a few sharp weapons than a army of dull ones.

Summary: Survival is not just defending in a ball. Surviving as a white belt is being actively defensive with gaurd retention and holding dominant positions. Position over submission always.

Am I the only one who never had this 'survival' mentality? I've always had an opportunistic approach where I just roll at a moderate-to-high intensity and keep trying something regardless of what position I'm in. This made me pretty spazzy at first but as I learned stuff I ended up with 'go-to' techniques for most positions because I was always actively trying to do something. I think this also helped with my guard retention and recovery as well.
