How to Pin and Submit Bigger People from Sidemount 

The 30 dislikes must have came from big guys

Although Stephan is amazing at explaining technique and how to perform the moves, he's an amazing second man as well. Asking perfect logical questions, and demonstrating exactly what can happen if you mess up exactly when he needs to show it. Humble, good at being the practice dummy while still teaching from the sidelines. Bravo.

LOVE this series!!! I'm a girl and usually the smaller opponent. And I do get a lot from newbies (or guys about my weight) how they hate to be submitted by a girl (just heard it again yesterday, haha). But the bigger and more experienced guys are really trouble for me. I can only get them by speed, technique and/or surprise. But it is not easy fighting heavy gorillas! ;))) Thanks for showing us your tricks Mister Wolverine ;) Also pleansant for the eye if I may say so ;)

"We will bite we will eye gouge and if that doesn't work we will fight dirty" hahaha

one thinks as a beginner that fight do not require mental skills(or only a few)... in fact is quite the opposite... i think that learn a fight style with lot of ground techniques will train a mind as if it were studying a difficult scientific problem... like my master says... "It's a chess game"... and i'm just starting to learn "these" techniques... and i love them more and more... i think that self defense, ground defense and martial arts in general should be mandatory in schools...

Truly enjoyed the teaching and level of detail in this one. Getting into the "why" of techniques is one of my primary focuses lately and I got What I was looking for here. Very nicely done!

Brandon is awesome too. Such comprehensive instruction. Love it. Cheers from Tokyo.

You both are amazing instructors, I love your videos so helpful. Thank you guys for this information and taking the time to share it with us.

Thank you for these awesome vids, I am tiny and recently started BJJ , my team mates are all twice my size love all these tips and explanations.... Oss

eddie bravo didn't create this you know right?

very nicely done. I am a super old judoka and that was done great to show how it should be practiced.

Thank You for sharing all this, Mr. Kesting, it is absolutely wonderful! :D You guys teach so clearly and every move is so effective, i'm amazed how i'm improving my "survival" with 30 to 50 Kg bigger opponents thanks to these tips, techniques and mindsets! btw, the "happy" and joyful way you approach this chess-game like Art is beautiful and fills my heart with passion and desire to get on the mat again and more! Thank You! Live Life in A Breath! Namasté! Aloha! ;)

It's cool watching this and realizing I have unintentionally taught myself almost all of this. I feel accomplished ^_^

just bought this dvd set,can't wait to get it!!!!

Does Brandon Wolverine Mullins have his own channel? I keep seen him in other peoples channel.

So to maintain side control, just switch into kesa or reverse kesa depending on escape tactic...

Just an FYI, once you get that "window washer" to your second leg over that arm, You don't want to stay there too long, The bottom guy will grab your gi or usually the back of the pants with that hand and "pull" with his left hand on your lapel to get the top guy to pull, now he "pushes" to get the reversal.

amazing teacher

I just started bjj this is awesome!

I have a few questions. I like this video but when you take the sidemount as high as you do on 4:10 - 4:45 can you shrimp (as i believe you guys call it) or ebi from underneath you? And on 6:15 until about 6:38 isnt there alot of room for him to bridge you over? Or cant he because your are hip to hip and have control of the arms? I stumble upon the problem that bigger and stronger people are able to bridge you over easier. Again i love the video's! Sorry if the english is bad but im dutch so

Simply amazing specially the cooking part :)

Wow you guys are awesome btw what's the little one's name?

When he switches his hips and does the sort of twister-side-control thing, would it be better to do it Eddie Bravo style and put the left arm under their left arm pit? (As opposed to on the mat next to the head, as shown here)

Unbelievable knowledge of the game for such a young guy. Great video.

on the last technique where you deliver the large push wouldn't the availability of a bridge and roll present itself for the big guy on the ground? is there a defense if he goes for a bridge and roll?

Interesting that this guy has a problem with so many pain techniques bigger guys use but when it comes to shin on bicep, he's a big fan and uses it regularly!

i watched this years ago now coming back to review these awesome techniques because sometimes my coach asking me to teach the class

Thank you for making these videos, very educational. I have a way to learn it outside of classes now :D

i think his game changed a bit when it comes to knee slide finish if someone watched the lendro lo knee slide study at bjj scout

incredible senseis here. Subscribed after about 2 minutes. Very clear, very detailed with explanations and reasons for why you are doing what you are doing.

I'm a relatively larger guy and I find these so helpful as I try to create a more balanced, training partner-friendly game. Huge fan, Stephan.

This looks really efficient, but I think I'll just focus on the side control for now. Too much for a beginning grappler to absorb ^^;

what's the name of the guy in white gi please?

Watching this because my little bro is taller than me and flings me around like a dirty towel even though I’m heavier than him 😂😂 life is hard

great tips, being a relatively smaller/lighter guy, i'm very excited watching these moves and tips, thanks a lot :)

::50:yes ans Stephan will stay freeze watching you .. we need to show that in a little more moving way so you make your moves and also Stephan does what he things he has to do.. where is that ends? yes stephan will be just freeze when you try to make that move at 9:50

whoa wheres the guy in the white gi nowadays? good instructional!

I'm a small guy and I start my first bjj class Thursday. All of your videos I've been watching and think it will help ;) especially this one, because everyone in the class looks to be ginormous. The school caters to law enforcement and most of them are big.... Either purposefully or by accident lol

If you're doing that armbar with one hand and pulling him, wouldn't he turn to you to have his loose arm going for his trapped arm?

Great video. Very useful... BJJ is amazing... Thanks for sharing.

I'm thinking about starting BJJ. My 3 concerns are: 1) My short height - 5'5" 2) I'm overweight - 200 lbs 3) My age - 34 yrs old What do you think guys? Yes or no.

I'm sorry but this was awkward just close your eyes and listen and forget it's about self defense

I love that you're teaching principles and strategies along with the techniques.

a very serious game of chess

This stuff is brilliant !!!

is that forrest griffins lil bro?? is that brandon wolverine mullins??

This kid won nogi world title last week, i seen it with my own eye's

What a great video! You guys work well together.

i used it today it was so fucking amazing !!!!!

No idea what brand the mats are, but they sound great

wow. this is a great video

Brandon Mullins very very high level guy

The guy to the left has got one of the ugliest tied black belts that I've ever seen! You sure he hasn't just borrowed someone else's belt? Oh no, wait... it got better once they hit the mat :)

great video thanks!

That's so useful. Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

10:37

Im a little bit bigger of a guy... NOW I AM UNBEATABLE KNOWING THIS lol jk but im a white belt still and these little ways of controlling people help a ton THANKS

Thank YOU!!

Very nice vid even helps a 4 striper

I used to get Kesting's DVD's back when I trained. I used to think of him as Paulson 2.0. In the fact that he explained and broke down high percentage moves in so much detail, with why you do what you do. Paulson showed so many more moves, but rarely tied in the "why" and "how", and the all important, "what to to if...". A true teacher, as opposed to a demonstrator.

This is a very good video. All that was shown here, very very useful if you play that game.

those are some shiny ass mats

I Have seen this video in 2014 and it helped me a lot until now im still using this method thank you both. Im going to share this to my training partners cuz im the biggest guy in the gym and I want them to do better against me lol.

Excellent video! Big guy use the same principles!

I am SOOO sick of that stinking piece of advertisement Marty with the type 2 diabetes!! PLEASE advertise something different!
