Question

Help answer this question below.

In MMA we practice some ground wrestling (BJJ) and since I'm only 1 of 3 girls most of the time I'm paired up with a male who are 99% of the time stronger than me. Even though I'm more experienced, they get me to submit every time, how can I improve?

    I'm not sure if it can apply here but can you rely more on your legs than your upper body? Men usually have more upper-body strength than women, thats just the way it is...but you generally have us beat in lower body strength.

    • I guess I have to learn better lower body techniques :)

    • Women in general DO NOT have stronger lower body strength than men, where did you hear this nonsense from????

      I mean, have you ever followed powerlifter, top men are squatting in the 900-1000 lb range......women, not even close. The average joe has lower body strength that would rival 90% of the average jane.
