Defensive Guard For Small Players


Lighter BJJ players face a different reality than the majority of average sized people. Strategies are required to handle the difference in size and strength.

There was a much smaller guy in my old academy who used this specific guard and strategy. Frustratingly I was never able to pass his guard despite the significant size difference.

I learned from his technique and have since used this guard position many times to defend against strong, heavy passers.

Smaller players, what is your strategy against larger opponents from the bottom?
