How To Beat BIGGER & STRONGER Opponents in BJJ

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Check out my BJJ Theory Course: courses.jordanteachesjiujitsu.com/courses/jiu-jitsu-theory-course

[@nicolemorin6795]

Yeah I recently just joined a BJJ gym I know very little you're right when you mention the size because I was able to overwhelm my smaller opponent there were four rounds different opponents I had two matches skip the third round and on that fourth round I actually got beat by the guy beat the first round who had the first round had more matches than me and still won my stamina gave out and I tapped even when I didn't feel it like I needed to just from exhaustion how can I overcome and also when I trained with my teacher who is a lot bigger than me when I want to do a leg swoop he was able to swoop my leg instead how was he able to do that like I want to leg swoop him and he took out my remaining leg as I was trying to take him out do you think this could be because he just physically stronger than me and I shouldn't go for leg swoops

[@JaredScott-dp8nj]

I’m a small guy only about 150 pounds and I rolled with a guy who weighed about 230 and I submitted him with a triangle choke. You have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them when it comes to armbars and triangles especially with a bigger guy. If at anytime you feel like he is posturing up when you’re going for that submission.. best thing I did was let it go IMMEDIATELY. Put your feet on his hips and create more distance. He’s naturally going to want to follow you, which will buy you time and a chance for a better angle of that submission. That’s how I defeated the other guy.

[@MrStrongBro]

“The only thing between you and someone’s back is their arm.” That was worth the video right there! 👏

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

I was hoping someone would quote that! It's such a simple thing no ones really realizes.

[@Iamhimberly]

No

[@yonathandelacruz9686]

For real, this is my fav part of the video.

[@yonathandelacruz9686]

Bro, your a 3rd degree red belt. Thanks for this huge tip. I was rolling with a brock Lesnor looking guy today. I couldn't get enough top control to work my magic. And his too strong for arm bars. I would leg lock him but my gyms rule is no leg locks which sucks. Anyways, I'm gonna under hook the fuck out the guy next time. Btw the guy was controlling my head a lot now after I saw this vid I'm gonna protect that. Thanks for the vid much appreciated.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Sorry it took so long to get this one up. I ran into so many obstacles to make and finish this one. I hope it turned out okay despite everything that got in the way :) Also at 3:29 that Patreon image is not supposed to be there lol. I should have proof watched this one final time before uploading. 😩. Lesson learned. Also, I've got my merch store up and running!!! Check it out :) limitless-apparel-22.creator-spring.com/

thanks guys! Means a lot to me :)

[@yeojt03]

Yes Prof ! I saw this video on the notification list but it was removed. Finally back up. Thank you for the great video !! The tips is GOLD ☺

[@biashacker]

"Now is not the time to feel bad for yourself." Phenomenal advice. So many people including myself lose precious time thinking about our mistakes during a roll.

[@cheesejkliop]

Not me, I just mull over them afterwards in shame 😅

[@davidrivas6412]

I'm a blue belt and I got smashed by a big purple belt with skills and technique. Once he passed my guard, it was gameover, there was no way to keep him off. Sometimes I just tap when he's on top of me bc I couldn't breath. It feels like a car is on top of you. So thank you for the knowledge in this video. I'm going to try to apply it on not get smashed.

[@MontyQueues]

frames

[@littlesheep7]

Its useless unless they're still white belt, being bigger its always huge advantage ,even my coach blackbelt he s blackbelt , its very often my coach get swept by bigger bluebelt and get smashed

[@chickenmonster576]

​@littlesheep7 then your coach is either going easy or just not good

[@Ktranphoto]

So many big boys at my gym. I'm always trying to go for triangles, but having watched this video...probably smarter to use less risky attacks while on bottom. Thanks for all the knowledge Jordan, I really enjoyed this one. Can't wait for ON to reopen so I can try it out!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! Me too. Just 6 days now, can't wait!

[@nonyabizness2550]

I use triangles on big guys but the choke is the last thing I go for. Get the diamond the attack inverted armlock. To defend the must turn palm up and its a tight keylock. If they resist that the are putting themselves in a triangle, lift your hips and drag the arm-across. If the arm is crossed you don't need a perfect triangle as long as your knee covers their shoulder you can be ankle to ankle and still strangle. If it doesnt hit triangle armlock or two legs over their head armlock. If they bury their arm behind your hip omoplata. Triangle is a guard and a dangerous one

[@blazekadorimaki]

As a kid who trains at adults, my triangle move which is my specialty has been rendered useless due to their strength

[@law4546]

[@armandfritz4077]

You are such an excellent teacher. The humbleness in your narration makes it so much easier to learn from you. Thank you for your content.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks Armand, I really appreciate that 🙏 I truly love BJJ and want to share my knowledge with as many people as possible, in the best way possible. Glad to see it's been working out so far lol

[@carlossegura3697]

As someone smaller (145 to 150 depending on the week) I definitely needed something like this. All the solutions provided for dealing with someone bigger make a lot of sense. There’s one guy, very nice but VERY big, who is just a little ahead of me skill-wise but is huge and I was stumped for how to deal with his size. I’ll be re-watching and using these tips. Thank you.

[@chrislivingstone1843]

These "principles" videos are awesome. So much more useful for a beginner than complicated single technique tutorials.

[@MNaeem5]

This concept based approach is fire,we have a Med student that moved to my gym from Cali and thats mainly what he focuses on, he has made it to Brown belt in 6 years of training and just trashes guys who have been training much longer in the traditional "technique first" with concepts mentioned as an aside way of learning. I like how you emphasize simplicity "there are lots of ways to armdrag,don't overcomplicate it"

[@DrJamesonPhD]

My sparring partner last week was 6'7" @ 260lbs. I am 5'11" @ 225lbs. He was able to smash me quite a bit, but obviously everything you are saying makes sense and it's something I will practice. I sit here and watch your videos at least twice all the way through so I for one greatly appreciate you taking your time on these videos because they really do help when we are not always able to get to a mat all day. Also, I did notice that with the bigger guys (bigger than me) that they tend to over extend which often leaves their arms over extended which then makes it easier to attack them even though they are smashing. It's a physical game of chess, love every single thing about it. Good work yet again Jordan.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man!. My pleasure. I'm glad you enjoy them 🙂

[@frankgarguilo2734]

So worth the wait. Okay, love concepts, no technique to memorize. Drag their arm, have them post on the mat, take their back. Don't let them grab your head. Thank you so much professor. Going to try and focus on these things for the next month, especially against those big guys.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! Let me know if it works for you!

[@charlesrahim3455]

lol. It wont be so easy in a roll because the big guys are watching this (great) video too! Also, thanks for posting- it really helped me!

[@JakeShallcross]

Much needed info! Being on the slimer and lighter side of guys in the gym this video is great for me. I really appreciate your 'broader topics' type videos rather than strict technique (which are still much needed and fantastic) thanks Jordan 👋🏻👊🏻

[@antoniomayen6884]

Great points! I just got promoted to brown and realized that during the almost long hour of rolling I kept getting “jumped” by large partners. Being on my back was brutal. The best position for me was to get in turtle position or my side while I was protecting my neck. It was grueling but that saved me from gassing out. I did use a lot of the strategies that you mentioned but you bring up very important points that as practitioners we tend to forget specially when we’re extremely exhausted.

[@kapolani9539]

You're a beast, bro. I started BJJ late after the military. I'm a broken vet, but have been able to use your techniques and do well against bigger, younger, stronger, younger guys. LOL. Great, free content! Mahalo!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! Happy to help you improve your technique and rolling 🙏👊

[@EverDeLeon7]

This channel deserves way more subscribers. Great video can’t wait to apply this in class 👍🏽

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man 🙏 Growing slowly but surely. 100k is my big goal!

[@Lloydy2k]

This video is immense! Whilst the fundamental concepts are simple, the way you breakdown it down is so clear and concise. This is invaluable advice for all levels. So grateful Jordan, thank you. Will definitely look to get your BJJ fanatics vid. 👊

[@poziflip]

I totally agree with your comment. 👍

[@Sidecontrol1234]

There's a blue belt at my gym who is about 5ft 8 and 117kgs, guy is strong af and heavy. This video was great as its given me some ideas on how to survive against him.

[@chamberlinbjj6841]

As a 250 lb white belt… I actually learned some great moves in this video to help me in my division too. Great video, man! Keep up the good work. Oss!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man 👊

[@BoazYoshiYahBanYasharalah]

255 lbs White Belt here....same. Great Vid!

[@country10359]

You big guys are not allowed to watch this video!

[@Musikberoende]

I noticed that some of these things I already do intuitively, but my offensive game lacks in comparison to my defense. I often feel stuck in side control and that sweeping especially is impossible so this was encouraging to watch! Almost everyone I train with is at least 40 lbs heavier than me and a few are even nearly twice my weight.

[@JamesKarren]

Your detailed descriptions are awesome 🤙

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you 🙏

[@gova8962]

I like how these are actually rolling and not just showing the move without it being showed in real action

[@joshuadecker353]

I'll be buying your fanatics instructional today. And anything else of yours I can find on there. Absolutely love your teaching style, very helpful

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man 🙏

[@dominicgriffiths1932]

I'm the smallest guy at my gym by about 3 stone. It's brutal everyday. Thankyou for this video, I'm back in at 10am and I'm going to focus on this a lot!

[@10Sethg]

Thanks for the video, I really appreciate it! Tips like not letting your opponent control your head are often assumed or go unspoken and those of us who are newer really benefit from the direct instruction.

[@msdunkel]

I'm a 50 YO 170 pounder and typically just play top with the big guys, but this video has given me a few tools to try and change things up. Funny that my keys to success on the top are exactly what you said the bottom player needs to prevent: head control and far side underhook!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

It actually blows my mind how important preventing the underhook and head control is yet its barley talked about. The offense is all the time. Take the back with the seat belt grip, side control with head and underhook etc. The seat belt grip is the same grip as side control but reversed position. Which is something I think most people don't realize haha

[@tylerdurden7918]

the only jujitsu channel i have notifications turned on for , ty Jordan for the great content

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Means a lot to me man! 🙏👊🙂

[@KHN.RVA.28]

Starting to piss off all the bigger guys at my gym lol. Been watching you roll with the biggest guys essentially on repeat for weeks now. I get em mostly with kamoras and kamora traps to back takes...they also hate getting am arm getting stapled down and Americana-ed from side control. Youve basically become my 4th instructor lol

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Haha that is awesome!!! Happy to help man 🙏

[@geewitt3810]

love the arm drag from the bottom. Great tip, great video as always.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Glad you liked it!

[@gesco240]

Awesome vid! I always roll with bigger guys and the knee shield and and sweeps have been improving my survival time but I never knew how to prevent inevitably getting smashed until you talked about head control and back takes, can’t wait to get back in and try this out!

[@maxe6538]

Honestly some of the best jiu jitsu videos I’ve found. Great stuff!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@Warped.Wizard]

I remember when I first started training. I rolled with this HUGE Hawaiian fellow, probably around 270 pounds of pure muscle. With my minimal knowledge, he easily got on top of me, trapped my arms, and let his pressure smother me. He said "I could just stay like this until you died," which, now that I think about it, would be very scary in a real situation! Luckily, I'm not entirely helpless any more hahaha

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Haha crazy how much trust we have to place in our partners. Also crazy how defenseless those that don't train truly are on the ground.

[@craigcordi3106]

DEFENSE: 1. Never let someone grab your head: • Your head is a control point that if controlled will lead to you being smashed • Prioritize this over everything as you will not be able to do anything if grabbed (your head controlled). • You must always remember your T-Rex arms. • Control the far arm as this is the arm which does the grabbing. • If your head does get grabbed, give them a reason to let go (off balance them to the side, forcing them to let go of your head as they are forced to post to prevent the sweep). You need to be proactive when you do this, and not allow the opponent to settle his (her) weight. Mistakes happen but don’t feel bad for yourself. You need to get moving and get that grip off you and free your head. 2. Never let someone take an underhook: • If they do get an underhook you must stay on your side with an overhook. 3. Keep their weight off you: • Prioritize guards/submissions which keep your feet in front of your opponent. This will manage the distance for you (not all guards and attacks are created equal when dealing with someone who’s bigger and stronger). • One submission which you may wish to avoid because your feet are not between you and your opponent is the armbar because you lack the ability to manage the distance at this point to keep their weight off you. Unless you extend their arm immediately, it will be difficult dealing with them potentially stacking you and will also be difficult to break their defensive grips. • Triangles too can be risky. You run the risk of the opponent stacking you and clearing the leg (most likely, passing your guard). • This is not to say that you should not try armbars or triangles, just that there are less riskier attacks. • Knees also keep weight off you by acting as a structural frame between you and your opponent. Keeping your knees in front of your opponent will keep them from putting their weight on you by acting as a structural frame. That’s why it’s called a knee shield. You really need to use it if you are a small grappler. OFFENSE: 1. Fight Them where they’re the weakest: • Plan A: Taking the back is the primary way to defeat larger opponents. • Plan B: fighting from top position. • Plan C: Submitted from your guard. 2. Use Underhooks to take the back: • Underhooks prevents the opponent from getting their own underhooks and are essential for attack against big opponents. • It’s hard to move bigger, stronger people; you’re better off moving yourself but it will be hard to move if we are being controlled by the opponent’s grips. • Make them post their hands on the mat so you have room to pop your head out. The only thing stopping you from taking somebody’s back is their arm. Knowing that, if we force them to put their hands on the mat instead of us, we will have a clear path to the back, using an underhook. • Putting their hands on the mat also makes the opponent’s legs light so you can move them to the other side. • While underhooking, you still want to control the far arm so that the opponent can’t control your head or D’arce choke you (sit out counter shown at 5 minutes, 45 seconds). • If your opponent overhooks your underhooking arm, you cannot take his back, but you can sweep instead (for example; knee pick from the dog fight position). 3. Arm Drags: • Arm drags are a great tool for clearing the arm. By dragging their arm to the mat or across the body, the arm in no longer in the way or controlling us. We are free to move ourselves onto the back and attack from there. • There are a lot of way to arm drag but you don’t need to complicate it…literally, just drag their arm to the side. • Often beginners are too underneath their opponent when taking the back and a little shrimp out will help you get into better position. 4. Butterfly Guard: • Butterfly hooks are strong and able to deal with a lot of weight. • You do not need an underhook to do a butterfly sweep but that is the traditional grip and can be used to transition to the back. • They can be performed using a variety of grips and work on bigger and stronger opponents. 5. Load the hips over the center line: • People become light when their hips are directly over or past your hips. • Prioritize Sweep that meet these criteria. The John Wayne Sweep is a great example. • X-Guard is a good example but can be tough to enter into. Having their hips above yours is what makes the X-Guard so powerful. X-guard is a little tough to get to with heavy people but if you can get there, sweeping is just too easy. Watch video, “how to sweep like a black belt” for more in-depth insight.

Another tournament this weekend so I’ll be watching this a couple times over the week

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Good luck at your tournament! If you need any advice just send me a message on Instagram 🙂

[@thedopesickshow]

I like butterfly and butterfly half against big guys and if at any point one leg comes up shooting slx through immediately. The butterfly hook even just in butterfly half is enough to keep them off of me enough until I can get slx or sweep. I’m powerlift but am only 165 pounds, one training partner is literally a 280 pound strong man (the one’s that lift anvils and rocks in competitions). I don’t like closed guard as much because big guys use “big man moves” that only work because of the weight difference, but if it ends up there I try to pull the arm across to take the back or go to a scissor sweep type position with the leg across as a frame to keep space. Awesome video!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Me too! I prefer not to be in closed guard agaisnt the big boys but if I am it's scissor sweeps and arm drags all day 🙌

[@nikkip1445]

Super awesome video, lots of work but you nailed it!! Learned some stuff for me to try next time I roll 😁

[@myssebysse]

Great video as usual. I was thinking, we're about the same age. So I've noticed hard sparring (especially with bigger dudes) takes a much larger toll on my body after I turned 30 (33 now). I've had a couple of injuries lately. Maybe you could share something about how you approach injury prevention or just in general what you do to be able to spar hard every week. Possibly a topic for a future video? Cheers

[@supahotfire2527]

Prolly some test, suss etc will help

[@msdunkel]

I hear you, I'm 50 and these effing teenagers think we're rolling for Abu Dhabi gold. I keep telling them a billion people in China don't care, but it rarely sinks in.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Awesome video idea. I'll definitely do that soon. A lot of people in the same boat I'm sure.

[@jcnesci]

Exactly, I just tore a meniscus from rolling with a gung-ho teenager. After I heal it up I was thinking either I change sports, or find a smarter way to roll. I imagine just trying to go super slow and tell sparring partners I wanna spar light, but as a whitebelt I have the bad habit of forgetting that and start using strength and speed again... Need to find a better way...!

@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu Very much so! I actually appreciated the lesson as it revealed a gap in my game as it pertains to larger opponents. Thanks to him, I've now been going down the rabbit hole and learning new aspects of Jiu Jitsu. I am in the heavy weight category and still new so I have been neglecting the importance of back takes and arm drags in favor of pressure passing and pushing mount.

So I’ve been doing jujitsu for about 3 weeks and my coach asked me if I wanted to compete in a white belt masters in house tourney at an affiliate school. The tourney is on Sunday and today I just found out that the tourney is no gi. (Needless to say all my training so far has been in the gi lol) but I was rolling with someone 250 today and his top pressure was hard to deal with but I’ve seen your videos before so protecting my head and prioritizing underhooks was a massive help bro. I was a boxer and ex D1 athlete so I have a lot of physical advantages but your tips are helping my game so much. Im impressing a lot of people in my gym with my progression. Thanks for the help. And hopefully I can find a way to win the tourney but if not at least it will be a good learning experience. Great video bro. 🫡

Apology not necessary Jordan...life happens, and you've given everyone a sizable catalogue of excellent quality videos to digest when you aren't able to upload a video. Thanks for uploading this...the video was great. And to answer your question, well I guess the opponent I think of was only taller than I was. Whilst I had a brief foray Into judo, I was still very new to BJJ, as was he. He was however a wrestler in middle and high school. I didn't know that at the time, and figured I was going to do okay...until he used his wrestling background to totally dominate me. At least he wasn't obnoxious about it afterwards. Maybe that's why I am much more favorable to using the Gi. 😂

thanks for putting in the hard work so that we're able to make our grappling work a little easier. will be trying to follow these instructions tonight with the big guys!

[@Trephining]

At 5’11” and around 135, there aren’t many training partners in my gym who don’t have at least 20 pounds on me and often 40-50 or more. Being as tall as I am also makes people assume I’m a lot heavier, so it seems reasonable for all the heavier people to want to pair up with me too, so I just accept that and try to find stuff like this video to deal. This content was great.

Great video! These are super useful details. Will take note and practice them when back to rolling next week! (I'm also from ON, can't wait for the reopening lol)

[@thejiujitsusaiyan9047]

🙂Thank you for sharing these concepts, so much valuable information in 8mins.

[@TheOne-uo7is]

Thanks so much - this is a great vid and really really helps that you use concepts. Maybe you could even do an individual vid on each area you cover. 🙏🏼🙏🏼👊🏽👊🏽 from London UK

I did quite a lot of aïkido and other martial arts when I was young and was mostly pretty confident about my grappling skills. This evening I sparred with a 2m tall guy (I’m 1,78) and just now I realised that I’m beginner level and mostly relied on my strength so far LOL The guy completely destroyed me and it was a very humbling experience

[@FireFightHD]

Fantastic video as always! 65-70kg white belt currently getting guard smashed :( Definitely helps to not be in the position in the first place but taking notes for next class, thanks as always!!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you! Hope you can get a little less smashed now going forward :)

[@seervisual]

@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu Thank you mate! Lets hope so haha!

Great video, trying to get my Bjj motivation back on.

I am 5'3 110lb, extremely helpful

[@g.barios5805]

My first roll EVER whas with a 240 lbs guy (I'm 145lbs). I can tell I was scared.

[@jacobromero2629]

Wow such great advice and footage! Thank you 🙏

[@rolotomase1440]

I'm often the bigger guy. I'm not really big, just 25# overweight. When those big guys pull guard I never understand it and I'm still not sure if I should tell them, or let them figure it out for themselves. Thankyou for another helpful video!

[@MNaeem5]

I notice in Gi you sometimes go supine but normally its either half guard knee shield to underhook and back take,Butterfly Guard or Collar sleeve style guard with feet on hips to maintain distance.

[@szechuanmcnuggetsauce6036]

Franco is strong af and fast too! Would love to see you both at it as black belt.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

That's the plan! Hopefully we can set it up soon.

[@Sebastian-di6sj]
