Mouth Covers in BJJ (Dick Move or Legit Strategy?)

Mouth Covers in BJJ (Dick Move or Legit Strategy?)

From Chewjitsu

September 16, 2026

At this weekend’s 2026 ADCC championship there was a whole situation with a bite & brawl afterwards that led to Dorian Alvarez being DQ’d.

I posted about it on IG and how I hated that Dorian got bit in the 1st place and people complained about the mouth cover.

So I wanted to do a video, for a sort of reminder and education that mouth covers are legal in some BJJ competitions.

And in general, if you compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, be ready for your opponent to be rough and a little bit of a dick during the match. Not that they will be, but the level of intensity in a competition is very different, in many cases, than a roll in the gym with your training partners.

Just some ideas to chew on.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
