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.

Every single time. Every video. I'm blown away. Thank you! 🙏

Zahabi has the BEST analysis. This is such a great learning tool. Thank you, sir!

Incredible! I was missing these kind of videos so much!

I love watching the narrated rolls. That inspired me to start my channel. Thanks for the insight!

Firas, Those are some great concepts for grappling the bigger guys. Appreciate your knowledge sharing! Thank you.

I've made a promise to myself to spend 6 months at Tristar after getting my blue belt... hope that's possible - keep making these videos, they are amazing! Osss!

Would love to see more of these live training analysis videos. Great stuff!

Been missing your instructional videos. Please keep up the good work!

Great video, love the detailed breakdown. Thanks coach

Excellent video! I need to work on all these points with bigger guys. Thank you for the awesome content!

Your content is amazing Firas. Thanks for these

I just search for something similar and it just came up like 3 seconds later as a notification. Thank you magic person from the future

Thank you sir! I have been having a hard tome with larger opponents on my gym. Gonna implement the inverted guard!

Thanks for the vids firas! Legit learn a lot of stuff from these videos

Man, thanks so much for sharing. Love your stuff. Salute brother !

Excellent video and narration!

Great points on the heel hook. Awesome technique all around.

I am considering the move to Montreal just to train under that quality of a coach... Love your view on the fighting game

Man those little details are so hard to get down and so important. Thats what separates good coaches from great coaches. To be pushed to learn and use these tiny details changes your game dramatically. Good shit mane

Great . I waiting for this long time .I love this chanel .

Highly anticipated content, as always. Never disappoints. Wish I could move to Montreal and train full time at ***!

Lawnmower escape to torreandor guard pass was so slick! Great video

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.

Great breakdown as always Firas

Excellent information. Thanks.

I love these break downs.

Thanks! Now waiting for the grip breaking video you mentioned

As the big guy in my class at 230, I'm about to compete at Pans as a brown belt in the ultra heavy division, this was a great video man! I like your style game but also your explanation of the why.

PLEASE make that video about the grip breaks! I lost my last comp to a guy who was able to control my ankles and pass my guard eventually leading to an arm triangle win for him.

Crazy how much skill you got. Making this man look like a baby. Definitely levels.

Soooo helpful, thank you for these tips!! I’m an old man and everyone at the Club is bigger and stronger than me, so I’m hoping I can apply these tips to help me survive. 👍

Thanks a lot for al this info coach im having trouble rolling with these bigger guys

tapped the like button, before watching vid. Its coach, you know you'll learn something important.

Thank you Mr. Zahabi!

thank you for this study my brother Firas

Can't wait to come train at Tristar, learn so much from just the videos

I was waiting for a video of this kind

Thank you so much for the detail. Great narration and freezing frames. FYI, with both wearing black, it’s hard to see some moves.

This was very helpful thank you

Coach! Underhooking the leg is arguably the most essential pinning combination we learn from young. Pinning = Dominant Position = Full Control. As you already have said and know...this is one of the principles which make Wrestling so key to BJJ. =] Enjoy your day coach!

Very nice! Thanks for the vid.

Been looking for exactly this. Thanks! btw the volume needs to be a smidge higher on your mic. Great vid!

You make inverted guard look so easy 👊🏼

Excellent video, thank you

Chokran Firas for the free content !

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

Great video Thanks coach Oss

Cool ankle scissor takedown. You're a creative man.

THANK YOU soooooo much Mista Coach Zahabi. Really helpful stuff to burn into my brain. Cheers from Ireland hope to train with you some day :) Oss

Greta video, thanks so much for sharing! Maybe you could make a series out of it (specific strategies and moves against bigher guys). Also loved the one you posted about flexible opponents a while back.

Mind blowing details, will you be doing more narration videos soon?

Thank u for this im 155 whitebelt and one of my favorite rolling partners is a 260 lb purple belt. Oss

Thank you, Coach!

great video!! off topic and probably a lame question but I'm so curious, who is a better grappler out of you and GSP? can u make a video of that roll?

Fantastic video - superb guidance - I have found success against bigger, stronger opponents with ankle locks & wristlocks, occasionally a guillotine or loop choke standing or on knees - what do you think of wristlocks, hard to get but very effective imho - maybe a go to like ankle locks against bigger opponents?

Thanks for the great vid! If i could make a video request, I would love to see how to transition from the thai frame blocks into the clinch. Thanks again!

This is gold, and something I needed to see... shame it was 4 hours 27min too late for today, lol.

veeery good thx a lot you help us the most me firas.muxh respect

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 :)

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.

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.

great stuff!

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

High level details for free . Thanks mate

Very helpful vid thanks

"Very big, strong guy" ... Here is me passing the guard. Firas is just amazing! 💪

great vid!! thank you!

Inverts guard -> proceeds to sledgehammer balls

Well Done Thank You 😊

Thank Firas! Truly

Awesome video as always coach Firas! I was curious about the ankle scissor... would you say its a kind of "safer version" of the scissor takedown because you are below the knee line? And I guess it would be IBJJF ruleset legal then as well right? Thanks for the great content!

@CoachZahabi

thanks for the message. The way I do it around the ankle I think it would be legal in IBJJF but Im not sure. If anyone out there knows please fill us in.

I’d love to see some of the differences when wearing the gi. Yours, a very greatful tiny grappler

Hi Firas, how do you mitigate the risk of a reverse triangle when underhooking the far leg in top side control?

how is this video edited to use the drawing function??? dont see it in imovie, thanks

9:45 Learned that in on of my first few classes recently (just started BJJ). Cool to see

:03 seconds in, you left that dude hanging on the fist-bump! hahaha

please make a detailed video on mount escape against a bigger and heavier opponent .

What's up coach Zahabi! I'm meeting you one day!

I rolled with a AZ wrestling state champ who had a lot of weight on me. Popped my rib and now I can go live for a month 😢😭

Coach Firas can I exchange my old Tim Tam for the newer version?😬

Could you give a match where Kendall Cross uses that "ankle scissor" technique?

Correction. There are 26 bones in the foot.

I understand that move at 6:40. It's a snap down variation. I hit this in other ways to especially the armdrag.

Genius

What do you think about Cradles against a bigger opponent? I feel like I can hold one against a really big guy.

I hope you show us your RNC strategies

Thank you

Hi! In terms of, "Universal JJ" does the inverted guard give your opponent the opportunity to stomp or knee you in the head? I'm always facing bigger opponents and I do quite well (leg locks and RNC are my go to moves) but I haven't put much work into it yet because of this. Thanks

I use the invert as a transition and not a position. So I don't hang out there.
