4 Effective Submissions for White Belts with a Weak Guard in BJJ

In today's video I show a fundamental submission series from Full Guard that I learned as a BJJ White Belt that was very helpful. The position I teach in this video has also been helpful to many of my students who are a bit on the bigger side.

The submission series starts from what I call from Diamond Guard. In it I show 4 submissions.
- Diamond Guard Armbar
- Regular Armbar
- Triangle Choke
- Oma Plata

I've also found that this series is really useful for bigger guys like me who don't have super quick hips and legs.

Hope the video is useful. Thanks for watching.

Something about getting stacked and choked makes me forget any training. I’ll add this to the list of thing I know but don’t remember in time. Rolling for me is like having a conversation and thinking of something clever to say 5 hours later.

fyi, i think the "adam who doesnt react to jokes" is a solid contribution to the character.
and of course, so very far from who he was in the podcast, so that makes it funnier.

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen explaining. I’m a one stripe white just starting out and I’m struggling with this exact thing. Went to the gym today and pulled it off twice. Definitely will be watching all his videos to keep learning!

[charlieward]

this is perfect explanation, been having trouble finishing triangles but this will help a lot, was rolling with a guy that is about 250lbs today and im small 5'9 160lbs and just couldnt quite close the triangle after seeing this i realized moving my hips was what i was missing. and the diamond guard step helps a lot with breaking down all these other subs too

[bigchief]

After training for a few months and rewatching this really helps... especially for a 270 pound guard player, I always want to finish from bottom but I always always end up just sweeping people

[MegaHitman]

Many thanks for sharing this wonderful guard position .

[BENDOVER-hehq]

Chewi: That was the ugliest omoplata ever but you get the idea...

My white belt ass brain: That was actually smooth -_-

[Torey]

I love this brother! Thank you! I'm a big guy, over 230 and I haven't gotten a triangle in live rolling yet, but this is game changing! I'm drilling this at Open Mat Saturday. Thanks brother!

[OhYaSure]

Thanks Professor Chewy! I’m a 3 week white belt and have been pulling into full guard often when rolling. I got hockey legs so I can control pretty well, but I can never do any offense from there yet. I’m def gonna try this next time!

[Radimusdepirate]

That was super useful. In my first class earlier this week I found myself in full guard after failing a back take and I had no techniques to try so I just held on for dear life in my guard and kept attempting to roll him over and get on top but he was too well planted. All I really had going for me was size and stubbornness but at least I was able to survive

[ClipsFromMaine]

That’s actually my favorite / go-to submission chain, I love this setup adjustment! Thanks for another great video, and another horribly great dad joke! 😆

[rafayn]

i’m one month in and got a tap today using this exact triangle transition 🤩 thank u so much

[ghob]

I'm a 1 stripe white belt and I cant wait to get back in the gym and try this. I never really thought about just going to that halfway point. Just going straight for the arm bar hasnt really worked out for me so thisll definitely help a lot.

[PeterLemenkov]

Looks handy. Will try it soon, thanks for the video!

[elbensvibez]

Literally just learned that little halfway step in class yesterday. SO useful.

[louispeake]

Excited to try this. Cheers for a good video! I definitely struggle with that commitment to an attack phase from guard, so interested to try this. Good stuff as always :)

[JasenWunder.]

I am a white belt who also suffers from not being able to put people in arm bars due to lack of long legs and trouble shifting in on my back.

I cannot wait to try this tomorrow morning on a purple belt guy.
