BJJ: Xande Ribeiro teaches how to break your opponent's grip with one hand

The art of holding an opponent's gi to handle it and take the fight where you want may be, in the beginning, quite a mystery to the practitioner. Not just doing the correct grip, but also knowing how to break it, will open up a range of possibilities in BJJ. Thus it is common to see a fight for the best grip, whose winner gets to steer the match their way.

If you notice that your opponent has done a better grip than yours, it is time to break it and restart the fight to impose your own. In this video, six-time world BJJ champion Xande Ribeiro teaches how to break your opponent's grip with just one hand, either standing or in the closed guard.
