In this video I do a roll narration and highlight some of the key concepts I believe will help you when rolling with a larger opponent.

I was grappling a 310 pound purple belt the other day. My strategy was to tap a lot really quickly.

@Andrew Giegerich That doesn't mean the bigger guy was an incompetent grappler. No need to try and flex on/shame a guy who was making a self-deprecating joke. "Be quicker"... lmao.

1. Have the underhook on the arm or leg when you're holding them down on the mat 2. Never let them control your ankles or wrist (hide them) 3. Try the inverted guard - use your speed of transition as an advantage (change back and forth quickly) 4. Go for leg locks (most powerful) or take the back (most secure) to submit them As a 57kg (125lb) guy who's always going up against bigger and stronger guys, this is really helpful. Thanks Coach Firas! Been watching lots of your videos lately. Bonus: that scissor takedown was awesome! Gonna try it myself.

@MrStrikeforce19876 жыл бұрын
Great video and I learned a lot from it (especially the sweet kimura detail). One issue I have though is going inverted vs bigger opponents seems like it would be risky to your neck. I know ideally you roll across your shoulders and don't stay inverted for long but in rolling not everything goes to plan. A big guy moving quickly and you moving wrong while inverted seems very risky to your spine. Perhaps you could provide some insight coach :)
@CoachZahabi6 жыл бұрын
Ive never had that issue but I have definitely heard that complain before. I think maybe its a flexibility issue. I suggest inverting guard drills as a warm up (Increasing flexibility) before class and I believe that should resolve you issue.
@jasonjean29012 жыл бұрын
I am a 6'2" 320lbs blue belt and I frequently roll with another 6'3" 180lbs blue belt who likes to invert when we roll. When we first started rolling as white belts, he would invert and I would smash him until I could hold him in place and pressure pass his guard. Our instructor was always telling him not to invert his guard when rolling with me but he's 20-years-old and still thinks he is invincible. What eventually happened is I stopped smashing him when he would invert his guard (I like having training partners) and now I try to find other ways of passing.

I do go for that ankle scissor in training a fair bit, I found making a plan for when or if it fails (I mostly chain to single legs) gave me a lot more confidence to go for it and experiment with it
@joshdoe72886 жыл бұрын
I've actually used the leg scissor sweep before but haven't really seen very many other ppl use it or teach it. I'm about 125 or 130 5'9 so I'm a lot lighter than the guys I train wth they're all about 160 and up so I always have a lot of trouble taking them down with single legs but the leg scissor usually works for me because like you said I can drop a lot quicker than them and I've found that other people struggle with the leg scissor sweep because they're getting one leg on the inside and one on the outside then they're trying to use their thigh muscles to sweep the leg out from under them but it's not a sweep of the leg that takes them down it's you turning towards them. Your inner leg is trapping theirs and your outer leg is coming up at an angle behind they back if their knee pushing it and making it buckle. So its more like you're twisting the leg so they have to bend it not so much sweeping it. I'm sure if you're going against someone more your wait you could just sweep it but that hasn't worked for me
@jaygrambling795 жыл бұрын
Love your videos...thanks for all the great tips. I'm not a super huge guy...I have a little wait and strength on most my of classmates including my instructor, but when he takes my back it makes it almost impossible to leverage my strength advantage...just as you described. Thanks for the detail on the ankle being in the armpit of the opponent to finish the kimura. Also, the ankle scissor looks like a great move although I know you said people have trouble with it. It doesn't look that complicated, but maybe it's one of those moves that's harder than it looks.

Is circling/pumping the legs like that allowed? It is almost kicking. If the opponent tried to do jiu-jitsu to you, he’d get kicked. Seems like a good way to accidentally kick the opponent, hurting a training partner or getting you disqualified in competition.
