Menjo Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 For overwieghts(only sparred with 2 before) I think he took BJJ. I like to use my knees and stop his attack by kneeing and messing up his knees. He had terrible balance as well so then I didnt get to closely pressed agaisnt to him, and I just keep kneeing and doing quick hand attacks while he was on his back like a turtle...unless his fat ... lays right on top of you and doesnt move. As for that, I wouldn't know what to do, maybe try to get his face "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
SubGrappler Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 unless his fat ... lays right on top of you and doesnt move.Attack his collar- it doesnt require a great deal of movement on your behalf, and it may bug him enough to start defending (otherwise you just may catch him).

SubGrappler Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Well, the worst is when you get a big guy who knows how to hold and gets to your cross side. Theres 3 things I can attribute to training with guys like this:1: I get put in uncomfortable positions often, so over time I get used to being comfortable in bad positions (i.e. I dont panic in cross side for example).2: I'm used to fighting tired- important if you ever want to be a good fighter, regardless of the venue you choose- anyone can fight when they're fresh, but being able to fight when you're tired gives you a leg up on the competition.3. It improves the technicality of my game- you're not going to force your way out of positions with power, which leaves you with technique. If you can escape from a 250lb mans cross side pin a 150lb guy will be easy.
ravenzoom Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Subgrappler is right, try to see the advantages you can seek out of it.

UseoForce Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 No, it always matters. Whether it works for or against you is based on the situatuion, but size always matters. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
jivetkr Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 my teacher is 6'1 250lbs & I roll with him more than anyone else in the school. When he is in mount or side control & drops the weight on you, man...its rough. He waits for you to breath out & then drops it.On the bright side, my escapes are getting really really good from rolling with him.
