Today’s video comes from a guy who has a match coming up against someone with better takedowns than him who has beaten him once before.

He’s looking on some ideas on how to get the win against the competitor in their upcoming BJJ superfight.

In the video I’ll talk about the challenge he faces, which many big people in BJJ face. Which is, he likes playing top game but has bad takedowns. His gym also doesn’t do much standing work either.

The video will outline one of the best competition styles for Jiu-jitsu for someone with these sorts of issues.

Below are the resources talked about in the video.

The post The Best BJJ Style for Big Guys with Bad Takedowns & Wrestling appeared first on jitseasy.

Today’s BJJ Q&A video is from Josh who’s a big guy who wants to move more like a “little” guy. I put that in air quotes because I know plenty of smaller BJJ practitioners who have great smash games. But getting back to his question he says that during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practices, his coach encourages him towards a more pressure and smash style game whereas he seems interested in a lot of open guards and other positions more commonly associated with smaller Brazilian Jiu jitsu players.

In this video I’ll explain why you want to have a big guy game and a little guy game (and how you can make that happen). I’ll also talk about why you should always keep in mind that your BJJ game is your own and you can create it however you’d like.

If you’re a big guy with a similar question I hope you enjoy the video.

In this video Thomas Lisboa shares details that’ll make the over-under pressure guard pass work even if the other guy is much bigger than you. Check out https://www.grapplearts.com/bigstrong and https://www.grapplearts.com/bigstrong2 if you’re routinely facing bigger, stronger opponents on the mats!

The post Details That Make the Over-Under Pass Work vs Larger Opponent appeared first on jitseasy.

BJJ sport training is one of the only sports I’ve ever seen where there is very little methodology of how hard to train.

Most sports combine some mixture of hard and lighter elements of training to round things out.

But Brazilian Jiu-jitsu often doesn’t. So practitioners often fall into this misconception that the only way to get better in BJJ is to GO HARD all the time.

In today’s video I answer a question from our friend who is asking about how to roll with weaker smaller people during BJJ training.

He says this not because he wants to adjust to them, but because he implies that he isn’t going to improve if he rolls wit them.

I try to debunk this myth by sharing how I rolled with mostly White and Blue Belts for some of my early Black Belt competitions.

Very similar to weaker people in the gym. I could crush them if I wanted. But I roll with them very deliberately to improve and prepare myself for Black belt matches.

If you’re in a similar situation in BJJ. I hope this video encourages you to think a little differently about how you can train with smaller, weaker or less skill BJJ training partners.

Talk to you next time!

The post I was Rolling with Blue Belts for Black Belt BJJ Competitions appeared first on jitseasy.

Developing the speed for an Armbar can be tough if you’re a bigger guy in BJJ.

That’s the situation that sparked today’s question.

Our friend is a large man (6’3 234lbs) and he is unable to turn his hips quickly for the Armbar from the Guard.

In this video I show my preferred method for the basic Armbar from Full Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

My big focus is on keeping tight control rather than relying on speed.

I’ve found that being a Heavyweight in BJJ. Having the tight control allows to lack a little extra speed with the hips.

1 caveat to this is that I encourage any larger grappler to work on their speed from the bottom. The reason being is that if they become quick from the bottom, it’s a weapon that most bigger guys do not have.

So if you’re a bigger person in BJJ. I hope this basic armbar from Guard is helpful. And also, continue to work on your speed and hip movement so that it improves.

Talk to you guys next time!

The post Armbar from Guard for Bigger Slower People (Be Tighter) appeared first on jitseasy.

In this video I’m sharing one of my BJJ rolls with my Brown Belt buddy Kenny from Nashville.

He’s a super tough Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitor who’s won and placed in some really big tournaments and I always enjoy getting a roll with him.

He’s another big guy who likes to get after it, so it’s always fun.

I wanted to share this video because many of you have asked for full rolls. And I think it also illustrates a great example of someone rolling at a good pace.

But not trying to kill one another.

At the end of the video I show him some of the moves that I was using during our roll like the side control escape and underhook fighting from Half Guard.

I hope you enjoy the video of our BJJ training and rolling from this past years Shawn Hammonds Team Training.

If you’re a bigger person in BJJ. 1. How can you make your flexibility better for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. 2. How do you roll with smaller people when you’re self c

Being a big person in BJJ isn’t a bad thing.

As long as you’re being safe on the mat. You’re actually providing an awesome service for your training partners.

You help your training partners get used to the pressure associated with bigger training partners, opponents or attackers.

In this video I talk about why having a bigger training is actually very useful and is actually a good thing for your BJJ training.

This video came about because of a question I received from a BJJ White Belt who is a bigger guy and is struggling with figuring out what he should be doing for his BJJ training with his lighter training partners.

So if you’re a bigger man or woman in your BJJ gym. I hope this video is helpful.
