6 powerful bjj techniques to shut down big guys

Great tips as always! Would you consider making a video about takedowns for smaller vs bigger opponent? I seem to find this more challenging from the knees than from standing, for whatever reason.

Awesome tips I’m definitely trying those 👍mahalo 😊🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

That elbow on the ground frame/pillar thing was genius. I have never seen that before. Thanks.

Thanks for the great tips 😎🤙

Oss solid techniques. All I play is butterfly and I definitely find myself in these same spots when rolling with bigger guys.

At what point do you become considered a big guy?

Great tips! Mahalo for sharing...

New subscriber here. I’m a 35 year old, 5’6” 130lb 4 tip blue belt. I also happen to have a 5’10” 195lb BJJ Black Belt older brother, Randy Melton (under Danny Dring, Team LDMA in Arkansas). This is exactly the content I’ve been looking for. Thank you!! 🙏

As a lanky skinny guy, I unfortunately cannot relate because I have no strength. My body type doesn't permit me to butterfly guard

Awesome tips man! Addressing the immediate dangers a big guy can put you in before they come in and smash your ribs to pieces. I like to have at least one foot pushing on their hips at all times to maintain distance. The problem is when the bigger guy invites you to come in and attack. Being a smaller guy on top isn't as effective as defending on the bottom. Any advice?

Thank you so much for your little guy jiu jitsu contributions

👊

Awesome thank you!

😑

How tall are you?

I saw that BJJ is not for short guys 5”0-
5”5

You seem like you know what to do!

👊🏻

hes a black belt nowww!!!

Butterfly guard in 2021? Really?

Keep going!

What about when the big guy is stalling grabbing both your lapels inside your guard?

Oss, thank you, great tips

what happens if you shoot your feet to his hip n then he grabs your anklkes?

OSs. Great stuff

These just seems like good fundamentals to have in general tbh

But either way good isht

Ok - no problem with technique or skill but we start this tutorial process with a scenario that only applies to rolling in training. What purpose does the sitting technique serve in some type of competition scenario whether sportive or more serious as far as attack potential goes ?

Great pointers! Thank you from a 145 lb., 73 yo white belt.

We have a 400 lb student that pretty much just crushes as his main tactic. Trying to find content that shows how to escape 400+ lbs.
