Recently 1 of my smaller BJJ students was asking questions about how to add top pressure in Side Control. So, I gave them a few tips that helped them out and I figured I’d share them with you.

As a smaller person in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu you can certainly add top pressure. But you’ve got to me more deliberate than say a 300lbs person who can have sloppy positioning but still feel like a ton of bricks. And the video will give you some ideas on how to do that.

That said, all of the stuff that I talk about in the video is perfectly useable for a bigger person too. They’re sound fundamentals. But again, if you want to have strong pressure on top of side control and don’t want to get rolled, then they’re even more important if you’re not a massive person.

Hope the video is useful to you.

The post How To Create BIG Pressure in Side Control as a Small Person in BJJ 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.

The post His BJJ Coach Wants Him To Smash, He Wants To Play Open Guard appeared first on jitseasy.

Everyone wants the ability to roll with bigger stronger people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, right?

I mean it’s part of the mythology of BJJ. That technique trumps all. That some of the Gracies were smaller, weaker people and they were able to win their opponents.

In this video I explain how if you want to be a Giant Slayer in BJJ you have to be willing to walk in the Land of The Giants.

What I mean by this is that if you want to be able to use your Brazilian Jiujitsu techniques against bigger people. You’ve got to be willing to roll, drill and train with big guys during your BJJ training.

I share a short story about one of my smallest students who was forced to learned how to use his BJJ against some of the biggest guys in my gym.

If you’re a smaller weaker person and you’re trying to beat bigger people in BJJ. I hope this video is helpful.

The post How My Small 130lbs BJJ Student Submits The Big Guys appeared first on jitseasy.

In today’s video we’re talking about how to roll with smaller people in BJJ.

Our question comes from Tommy who is a strong Wrestler who has a distinct advantage on the feet because of his wrestling skill.

He says that when he rolls with people he feels a certain level of guilt with his rolling partners.

The guilt associated with it is because if they’re smaller, he feels like maybe he should take it easy on them.

But he feels guilty to himself for not taking advantage of the situation to attack and work on his techniques.

In this video I discuss the approach I use with my Brazilian Jiujitsu training partners and what has been helpful to me on the mats and has made my game so much better than it used to be.

As I’ll talk about in the video. When I first began BJJ training. I used my A Game every roll.

I would go hard and just use the same techniques over and over again. But it wasn’t until I put a lot of effort into opening up and rolling with people differently that my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu abilities improved at a rapid rate.

I hope you enjoy the video. And if you’re in the same situation. I hope the video is useful!
