For smaller grapplers out there in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu world, things can be a little tricky when you enter competitions and step onto the mat to see that your opponent is a hulking figure, almost double your weight.Daunting, yes, impossible? Far from it.
It is not uncommon to see a shorter athlete combating a much bigger and taller opponent in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Anyway, it is widely believed, and Royce Gracie proved it in the early UFC events, that BJJ in fact is an art created for shorter practitioners to defeat bigger, stronger, and taller opponents.
Of course, you need the right tactics, insights, and useful strategies to beat the bigger opponents. So, what are these approaches?
Rolling with bigger guys in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be… Difficult, to say the least. Which is why you need to use all of the tools at your disposal – especially if you’re rolling with a gi on.
