App Description

A COMPLETE GAMEPLAN FOR ESCAPING BAD POSITIONS AND SITUATIONS IN BJJ THAT WORK AGAINST BIGGER, STRONGER OPPONENTS

This is the eighth app in the How to Defeat the Bigger, Stronger Opponent series.

This series is designed to give you the techniques and strategies that are especially effective against opponents who are much bigger, stronger, and more muscular than you. You'll also learn how to stay safe and avoid injury on the mats when rolling with heavier grapplers.

Sometimes things just don’t go to plan, and you end up pinned, mounted, and fighting off attacks. This eighth app, Defense and Escape Gameplan, comes with step-by-step instruction on protecting yourself in bad positions and how to get out of them. These secrets will come in handy almost every time you get swept, taken down, or have your guard passed.

In this app BJJ black belt and world champion Brandon 'Wolverine' Mullins takes you through his best escapes from the mount, technical mount, the quarter guard, rear mount, rear mount with figure 4′d legs, side mount and the turtle. Use these techniques to get out of trouble and get back in the game!
