This is the 1st of 5 modules in the How to Defeat the Bigger, Stronger Opponent in No Gi series. It expands upon the strategies and techniques taught by Emily Kwok in previous apps but is also designed as a standalone product.

This series of app modules give you the techniques and strategies you need to defend yourself against, and defeat, opponents much larger than yourself using the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

The single most important thing you can do to defend yourself against a bigger, stronger opponent, and then to launch your own offense, is to control the grips.

This sounds so simple, but it’s actually a very technical area, where knowing the right thing to do can totally nullify the size and strength advantage of your opponent. In this app Emily gives you the specific techniques, strategies and mindset that will allow you to dominate the gripping game both on the feet and on the ground.

Once you’ve learned the correct gripping strategies to keep yourself safe and control your opponent, Emily then shares the best low-risk strategies for getting the fight to the ground in a way that keeps things in your favor.

The techniques taught by Emily don’t require crazy athleticism but will still prevent bigger guys from manhandling you all over the mat.

The bottom line is that this instructional app will allow you to level the playing field when you’re much smaller than your opponent.
