Dominique Bell on Instagram: "Tag someone that needs to see this 😂 3 Tips for training with smaller people! Tip 1: don’t be overly competitive! Jiu jitsu isn’t all about winning rounds, there are plenty of ways to train for improvement that doesn’t involve winning or competitiveness. Try working your back defense, guard retention and recovery, or submission escapes! Tip 2: don’t abuse your strength advantage! A good rule of thumb to go by is asking yourself, “would this work on someone slightly stronger than me?” If you’re holding onto a grip that they have every right to break but they just aren’t strong enough, let it go and transition! If they have a deep underhook, but your strength difference is such that you can overcome superior leverage, DONT! Admit positional defeat and work the next position that they’ve earned! Tip 3: don’t drop the beef down 🥩 you don’t need to use your body weight to win position on smaller opponents. Try to play loose and light, transition often, support your weight rather than allowing it to rest on the smaller partner and do work for you. Of course using body weight as a tool is a crucial part of passing, but there are other skills you can develop for passing in this roll with a smaller partner that doesn’t involve squeezing the life out of them like a toothpaste tube.
