Strategies & Tactics for No Gi App

This is an instructional from How to Defeat the Bigger, Stronger Opponent, Series 2, with Brandon Mullins.

You can check out (and preview) every volume in this series on the FREE Grapplearts BJJ Master App for your Apple or Android phone.

‘Strategies and Tactics for No Gi,’ covers the techniques, strategies, and tactics that work when the gi comes off and you enter into the world of no gi submission grappling.

Contrary to common belief, no gi isn’t all about strength and athleticism. Technique and strategy can definitely level the playing field, which is good news because it means that smaller, weaker grapplers CAN defeat bigger, stronger opponents.

BJJ black belt and world champion Brandon ‘Wolverine’ Mullins competes at the highest level both in traditional BJJ and in no-gi competitions. He’s learned that two areas have their similarities, but also different enough so that people get confused, make major mistakes, and need guidance to really feel effective and efficient on the mat.

The Q&A based format of this app addresses the most common questions about modifying your BJJ game so it works both with and without the gi. It will help you become a far more effective no gi grappler and avoid many of the most common submission grappling mistakes.

Like the other apps in the How to Defeat the Bigger, Stronger Opponent series, ‘Strategies & Tactics for No Gi’ is designed to give you the techniques and strategies that are especially effective against opponents who are much bigger, stronger, and more muscular than you.

You’ll also learn how to stay safe and avoid injury on the mats when rolling with heavier grapplers.

ABOUT BRANDON AND STEPHAN

Brandon Mullins is a world champion BJJ black belt based out of Houston Texas. A very active competitor, Brandon has tested himself in well over 200 competition matches at BJJ, no-gi submission grappling, and Judo tournaments.

He has compiled a phenomenal record, both with and without the gi: he’s won gold medals at the Black Belt division at the No-Gi World Championships… And at the European Championships… And multiple gold medals in the Advanced division at Grappler’s Quest… And medals at the Mundials, the Pan-Ams, the US Open, and the Gracie World’s.

Brandon is a small guy: he competes at 118 lbs.  In an average BJJ class there are usually women and children bigger than he is.  In order to be successful despite the size disadvantage he has had to become a very technical grappler, evaluating every position, paring away all wasted movements and never relying on brute strength. His disadvantage is our gain, because surviving on the mats as a smaller grappler has made him a superb (and very popular) teacher of the art of BJJ.

Stephan Kesting is a BJJ black belt, and a Combat Submission Wrestling instructor. He has been training in the striking, grappling, and weapons-oriented martial arts for over 30 years.

A master teacher, Stephan has helped thousands of grapplers improve their skills through his crystal-clear instructional apps, DVDs, online videos and articles at his flagship website Grapplearts.com.
