How to Stop Inversions in Nogi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Part One #bjj #grappling #jiujitsu #nogi

From High Noon BJJ Team

October 8, 2025

During last week's Sunday Session, I got a great question about dealing with an opponent who wants to invert underneath the hips to off-balance or expose the legs for attack. This led us into a solid discussion on stopping inversion preemptively and dealing with "scoop" grips.

My goal in sharing this is not only to share useful knowledge but to hopefully provide a more real alternative to the plethora of sanitized, highly choreographed content out in the wild.

Stay tuned for part two, where we chat about shutting down reverse De La Riva as well. ⚔️

P.S. Devin Booker has the prettiest jump shot in the NBA. Don't @ me 😂

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
