This is the 2nd module in the How to Defeat the Bigger, Stronger Opponent in No Gi series. It expands upon the strategies and techniques taught by Emily Kwok in previous apps but is also designed as a standalone product.
This series of app modules give you the techniques and strategies you need to defend yourself against, and defeat, opponents much larger than yourself using the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Passing the guard is the key to dominating and submitting opponents of any size.
But if you want guard passes that work reliably in no gi, and especially on bigger, stronger opponents, then you’ll need to make some important adjustments…
On the one hand, in no gi you can take advantage of the inherent slipperiness and the lack of control to advance your position. On the other hand, though, you don’t want to ignore the points of control that that do exist. In fact, the no gi environment makes those few remaining points of control even more important.
In Volume 12, No Gi Guard Passing, Emily shows you how to combine advanced guard passing strategies with simple tweaks and techniques that allow you to cut through the closed, open and half guard in a no gi situation.
Emily first takes you through her proven system for opening the guard of a bigger, stronger opponent. Then she covers her highest percentage no gi guard passes, which work on grapplers of any size. And then she takes you through exactly what to do for those difficult-to-solve guard passing situations where most practitioners simply have no idea of what to do next.
This is a competition-proven system of guard passing that will give you an ‘unfair’ advantage on the mats when it comes to cutting through your opponent’s guard and getting to sidemount or mount. Best of all, these guard passes work reliably even if your opponent has a significant size and strength advantage over you!

Guard Passing Strategies vs Bigger People
It can be really tough to pass the guard of a bigger, stronger opponent. They’ll rely on brute strength and bodyweight to break your posture and shut your guard pass down before it even starts. In this section Emily talks about the concepts and ideas you need to keep in mind to cut through your opponent’s guard when you’re much smaller than they are.
How to Pass Deep Half GuardThe deep half guard is a style of guard that offers the person on bottom many super-powerful options to sweep you. Many grapplers simply concede the sweep when they get caught in this position, but that’s the wrong approach! Use the competition-proven techniques and details shown by Emily in this video clip to completely shut down your opponent’s deep half guard, even if he’s much bigger and more powerful than you!
