Today’s video is a question that every bigger, stronger person will “grapple” with in BJJ.

How to not use so much strength in BJJ!

So 1st off I don’t think the goal is to not use strength. . . or that it’s even possible. We are all going to use a little strength. The key is to use it at the right time, in the right way, and be efficient with.

In today’s video I share a simple process I implemented during my BJJ training, as a bigger guy, to be more efficient with my use of strength. And while this idea applies to bigger stronger people you could easily apply it to almost any area of focus in BJJ.

Hope the video helps if you had a similar question.

Thanks for watching!

The post How To Use Less Strength During BJJ Rolling & Be More Technical appeared first on jitseasy.

Today’s BJJ technique is a mount escape that I like using against people that are bigger or stronger than me. Granted you can do the mount escape just fine if the person is the same size or smaller than you. But it works great when your bridge isn’t very effective at off balancing someone. . . a problem that’s pretty common against bigger stronger opponents in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

In the video I’ll go over some basics about mount like setting up frames and being mindful of arm positioning. But overall it’s a simple escape that you can add into the mix at your next Brazilian Jiujitsu training session.

If you’re a half guard player and have either watched my half guard videos on the youtube channel or have my Half Guard Sweeper series then you’ll notice that the escape puts you right into the half guard with the outside hook. Which is a great sweeping position.

Anyways, if you’re struggling to escape full mount against bigger stronger opponents then I hope this technique helps!

The post Effective Mount Escape is a Lifesaver against Bigger People in BJJ appeared first on jitseasy.

In today’s video I got a question from our friend who is a thin guy and is wanting to become a bigger stronger person for grappling.

Currently he’s lifting and doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and he’s curious if I have any tips on getting bigger and stronger.

In this video I share some really simple tips to get bigger and stronger from my experience.

The first idea I share is about adopting the eating habits of a bigger person. This may sound simple or maybe unimportant.

But in most cases I see that smaller people have trouble gaining weight in large part because they aren’t eating very much. So the 1st thing is to add more good food to the mix.

The second tip I share is to adopt the mindset of a bigger guy who lifts. In the video I share a story about one of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu students who came in in the 130s and is now around 160s.

And he adopted the mindset of a meathead after becoming friends with one of the Brown Belts in the gym.

Finally he was curious if Brazilian Jiujitsu would hurt his weight training and weight gain. And I end the video with sharing tips on how to avoid a situation where BJJ negatively affects your weight training.

If you’re in a similar situation then I hope this video is helpful!

“How can I beat someone better than me?” I get this question a lot and you might be wondering the same thing too.
