Macelo Garcia Black Belt, Emily Kwok, and BJJ Black Belt and author of some of the best instructionals out there, Stephan Kesting, combined forces to put together an amazing 5 DVD set with 7 hours of content specifically on how to defeat a larger, stronger opponent and avoid injury.
See if any of the following problems ring true for you:
- Do you get pinned and smothered on the ground by Goliath-sized grapplers, unable to move and unable to breathe, only to find that the escapes you've learned don't work on someone much bigger than yourself?
- Have you noticed bigger people simply use their natural strength, size and weight advantage to overpower you? It's very frustrating to get crushed by a less experienced, less skillful opponent whose only advantage is having 10 lbs of additional muscle on you.
- Are you a lot weaker in the upper body than most of your opponents? Strength differences are usually greatest in the upper body, which is why a big guy can just 'bench press' his way out of a bad position. But if you try this then not only will it be ineffective but it will leave your arms limp, drained, and feeling completely powerless.
- Have you ever been betrayed by a submission that works on everyone in class except that big guy who always powers out of it and then smashes you when you end up on the bottom? This is very common, because a lot of submissions require you to be at least as strong as your opponent.
- As a smaller grappler do you have to struggle a LOT harder to get out of bad positions? And even if you do escape, have you used so much energy that you're now completely exhausted?
- Have you found that the closed guard doesn't really work for people with short legs? In fact the closed guard should be avoided if your legs are too short to maintain the position and attack from it effectively.
- Is it scary when big guys don't know how to control their strength and weight, and have no clue how to train with someone not their own size? Injuries are the bane of effective training, and often they're caused by some Sasquatch-like grappler who goes totally 'agro' when his ego is threatened.
- Do you find it almost impossible to sweep a larger opponents from the guard? The sad truth is that you can just throw out most guard sweeps if you are much smaller than your training partner.
- Have you ever been frustrated by bigger people who're not as good as you but who feel threatened by smaller, lighter grapplers and so they just lie on top of you, not even doing anything? Their whole plan is trap you on the bottom, stifle your movements, and prevent you from using the skills you've worked so hard to develop.
- Have you ever wanted to tap out when you're on the bottom in a position, just from feeling suffocated and not being able to get out?
Here are the general topics covered:
- Strategies and tactics that smaller people must know in order to level the playing field against a larger opponents,
- Pin escapes that work regardless of size, including the rarely taught topic of transitional escapes,
- Drills and exercises to make your moves instinctive and strengthen your body in sport-specific ways at the same time,
- The best attacks from the Guard position, including which Guard positions work for smaller grapplers and which don't,
- The secrets of gripfighting and how to shut down your opponent's offense by keeping his mitts off of you,
- Guard passing for the smaller person. How to blow through your opponent's guard even if he's bigger and stronger.
- Submissions that'll tap out skilled opponents, even if they're much bigger and stronger than you,
- Tricks and shortcuts that Emily uses all the time as equalizers for size, weight and strength differences,
- Physical conditioning that prevents injury, allowing you to train with bigger people and not feel 'beat up' all the time,
