Fighting a bodybuilder

[The BB of C]

I never liked that drill.

I prefer Randori type stuff.

[Daisho]

we've had discussions about this at my dojo quite a bit. Since 99% of what we do is JJJ and Judo, being at a major strength disadvantage can cause a huge problem. Most people at my dojo are pretty hardcore gym rats outside of the dojo, and me and a few other dans all workout together at a local gym for strength and power conditioning.

We have a brown belt who's been training with us for a little over 8 years, and he's a monster powerlifter. My technique is far superior to his, especially in JJJ, but if I have him set for a Ushiro Goshi, chances are I'm not going to have the ability to keep him from pulling my head down into a side headlock.

My best bet would be to grab sonething long and rely on my jojutsu and kenjutsu, and convince him continuing the fight is a bad idea, lol.

MA training or not, having a major strength advantage can make someone a very dangerous adversary.
