Product Description
-------------------
This program was specifically created to help smaller
grapplers hold their own in both gi and no-gi grappling. It was
created by two BJJ blackbelts, Emily and Stephan, who have spent
years getting their techniques, concepts and strategies to work
against larger grapplers.
This is a condensed look at a world champion's game, and the
pieces fit together consistently, easily, and seamlessly.
This program covers lots of super-effective techniques to solve
your most commonly encountered grappling problems. But even more
importantly, it includes the concepts and strategies behind the
techniques, which makes them more instinctive, even more
powerful, and much easier to remember!
As you master the material it'll become easier and less
intimidating to fight big people. You won't get stuck in horrible
positions as often, and you'll have a clear idea of what to do at
every stage of a match.
DVD 1: Drills, Gi and No-Gi Gripfighting (1 hour, 39 minutes)
Emily starts by sharing her favorite drills. Warm up your body,
build strength and endurance, and create a foundation for the
rest of her system with these highly functional sport-specific
movements.
In part 2 Emily gives you a detailed what-to-do breakdown of
stand-up and ground-based gripfighting. She also shares specific
gripfighting strategies and mindsets that have helped her win
world titles in both gi and no-gi grappling competitions.
DVD 2: Compensating for Strength (2 hours, 24 minutes)
Not all guard positions keep you safe or are effective when
you've facing someone who is much larger and heavier than you.
Here Emily shares her favorite guard positions that work well
against bigger people, and breaks them down so you'll be able to
keep good position and successfully defend guard passing
attempts. Plus she teaches you which sweeps work against ALL
sizes of nents.
In part 2 Emily takes you through her bread and butter guard
passes that she uses again and again when facing larger
nents. Don't let guard passing turn into a battle of
strength; use speed, leverage and timing instead!
In part 3, Emily teaches transitional escapes, sharing with you
the strategies and mindset that completely changed her own
approach to pin escapes. She also shows you the exact techniques
you need to know in order to keep things moving, and to not end
up completely flattened and helplessly pinned underneath your
nent.
DVD 3: Top Five Moves (1 hour, 15 minutes)
Every champion has his or her favorite 'go to' moves... In this
DVD Emily shares her top 5 submissions, her top 5 guard sweeps,
and her top 5 escapes and transitions for dealing with much
larger people. Most importantly, she includes the tweaks and
details that take 'regular' techniques and change them into
'giant-killer' moves.
Bonus DVD 1: Q & A Session with Emily Kwok (1 hour)
This DVD was filmed during a semi-private Q & A session in which
Emily answered questions from white, blue, brown and blackbelts.
She shared the tricks and techniques she uses on a daily basis
against taller, heavier and much stronger training partners - no
matter how 'agro' they are.
Bonus DVD 2: An Introduction to Total Body Stability, by Roy
Duquette with Emily Kwok (1 hour)
In this unique bonus DVD, master strength and conditioning coach
Roy Duquette puts Emily through a workout from his TBS system.
The goal of this system is to strengthen, stabilize and protect
the joints and muscles that are most susceptible to injury.
About the Actor
---------------
Emily Kwok is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt, and there
are at least three reasons why you should listen to her if you
want to learn how to handle yourself on the mat.
First of all, Emily is one hell of a competitor, so when she
tells you that something works under pressure you'd better
believe her!
When she was a brown belt she competed against blackbelts at the
2007 Mundials, and came away with a gold medal. That makes her a
legitimate Brazilian Jiu-jitsu world champion (unlike some 'World
Champions' who won their title at an event that nobody has ever
heard of).
She competed and won in Smackgirl, the premiere womens MMA
organization of it's time. Both as an amateur and a professional
fighter.
Emily is also a no-gi champion. She's taken gold at the Pan Am
No Gi Championships in the Absolute (no weight limit) division!
And a silver medal in the World No-Gi Championships. Secondly,
she's got an impeccable pedigree.
Emily has learned from many of the very best instructors in the
world, including Marcus Soares, Ricardo Almeida and Renzo Gracie.
And she's currently training and working with Marcelo Garcia...
Marcelo Garcia is probably the most famous grappler active
today. He's a 5 time BJJ world champion and 4 time no-gi ADCC
champion. But he's also been an absolute terror in the Absolute
division, regularly facing and submitting much larger world-class
nents.
She's really taken the aspects of his game that most apply to
smaller grapplers and created a system that she can now pass on
to others.
So in addition to all her other experience, you also get the
benefit of Emily reverse-engineering Marcelo's game for you!
Third, and most importantly, Emily is a born teacher.
She runs a school in Princeton New Jersey, where she teaches men
and women of a wide range of sizes. She's also a Head Instructor
and Co-Founder of Womens Grappling, the only organization that
hosts women's-only training camps throughout North America.
Emily has worked, hands on, with literally thousands of people.
Many of whom were on the smaller side and looking for a little
extra help to deal with larger, stronger, heavier people. Many
people have commented that Emily has the 'magic touch' for
connecting to people, breaking down and teaching techniques in a
way that makes them easy to learn and quick to implement.
