Daniel Faggella’s Book “BJJ Techniques To Defeat Bigger, Stronger Opponents” Hits #1 Spot On Amazon“BJJ Techniques to Defeat Bigger, Stronger Opponents” recently hit #1 under the entire category of “Martial Arts” at Amazon.com, and it’s author – BJJEE writer Daniel Faggella – took the time to catch up about his process in training / interviewing that made the book possible. Dan is a writer for many major magazines, a No Gi Pan Am Champion, and interviewer of many of the most prolific names in MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Dan’s web and blog following far exceed 10,000 monthly readers.What really gets me is how we can scientifically break down the sport and maximize our potential by crunching those numbers. What I mean is we can analytically look at certain sweeps and submissions for example and see which work best and apply them to our game. Back when I first started getting into the absolute divisions I sat down and found the top percentage sweeps, takedowns, guard pulls, submissions, etc for little guys and I revealed all of those secrets in my book. It’s funny because I got the nickname the BJJ Nerd from a close friend of mine for all the work I put into crunching the numbers for everyone.Could you give us an example of one these top percentage submissions?Dan: Of course! Believe it or not I wasn’t always that great at leg locks and it wasn’t until one of my coaches at my academy got into them and then I fell in love with the art of manipulating legs. So, we all know that leg locks level the playing field in absolute divisions but only if done correctly. Statistically it is harder to hit a kneebar on a bigger guy than it is to hit a heel hook. Now why is that? They’re both leg locks? Correct but here’s what’s going down. It’s a concept I call small target submissions and it’s covered extensively in the book. Long story short, you want as much of you on as little of an area on them as possible when attacking. In the book I go into all the different set ups for these small target submissions and they’ll really revolutionize your game.http://www.iwmdvds.com/items/mma-instructional-dvds/dan-fagg…
