How to Defeat the Bigger, Stronger Opponent Series 1, Volume 1: 'Essential Drills and Controlling the Grip' with Emily Kwok and Stephan Kesting for iOS

Developer's Description

This is the first in a series of 5 apps in which Emily Kwok and Stephan Kesting share with you the secrets to defeating bigger, stronger opponents on the ground using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.The single-most important thing you can do to stop a larger opponent from rag dolling you all over the mat is to control the grips. That's why Emily and Stephan teach you how to use defensive gripfighting to completely shut down your opponent's sweeps, submissions and throws. And how to use offensive gripfighting to control the pace of the match and set up your own attacks.The gripfighting techniques taught in this app apply both to standing work and on the ground. This means once you learn a technique you can use it in both contexts. But in Volume One Emily and Stephan ALSO share their collection of must-know, must-do grappling drills. Including both solo and two person drills.These sports-specific drills will strengthen your body, prepare you for training, and prevent injuries. Most importantly these drills allow you to easily perform lots of repetitions in an easy and efficient manner. Repetition leads to mastery, and if you use these drills you'll have a ton of reps under your belt in no time. Larger grapplers often just use their their strength, size and weight advantages to overpower you. It's very frustrating to get pinned and smothered by a less skilful opponent whose only advantage is having 10, 20 or 50 pounds of additional muscle.Big guys have much stronger upper bodies, which is why they can just 'bench press' his way out of a bad position. But if you try this then not only will it be ineffective but it will leave your arms limp, drained, and feeling completely powerless.Plus it's scary when big guys don't know how to control their strength and weight, and have no clue how to train with smaller people. Injuries are the bane of training, and are often caused by Sasquatch-like grapplers who go totally 'agro' when their egos are threatened.In this series of apps you'll have two Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts show you the techniques and strategies to defeat even the biggest, strongest, scariest attackers on the ground. Crazy speed, flexibility, or athleticism are NOT required; the emphasis is on staying safe and preventing injuries at all times. Emily is a multiple time BJJ world champion, both with and without the gi. She has taught and worked with thousands of grapplers of all levels. Stephan Kesting is a BJJ black belt, a Combat Submission Wrestling instructor. He has been training in the martial arts for over 30 years and is the founder Grapplearts.com.
