This is not the kind of thing I’m talking about. Of course we all regularly get “beaten” by people with less skill and who are smaller, or bigger, or anything else - but I’m not talking about training with a partner or letting them practice a technique during a roll.
I’m talking about people that walk in with their egos very high and their skill very low. There are those who come in and are almost afraid to use any strength at all. Then there are those who believe that strength is all you need, so on their first few rolls they gas out immediately and then get rocked.
I’m not suggesting that two trained people of vastly different weight classes would be equally matched. That would be absurd.
Also, I’m not talking about your life being on the line. I’m talking about BJJ.
- adamtaylor_13 2y agoMy interpretation was that yours was the "130-pound woman can hurt 180-pound new class guy who 'just sees red'" story. My point was that it's largely mythos. Not that it _never_ happens, but by and large weight matters even in untrained vs trained individuals.
