just had a great bjj class. a new girl joined, and though i realized she is a good 5" taller than me, i just assumed we are the same weight. wrong. she is hella' strong, and 150-155lbs, a solid 20 more than me. STRONG. but she didn't submit me. she's trained for about the same amount of time as me, but her old school was super aggressive, ( Read more... )

I love going up against bigger stronger guys. It really sharpens your technique. It also shows you what moves will work when push comes to shove and what moves won't. My faves are the big buff gym rats with the big ass egos that come for their first time and try to muscle the crap out of you because they don't know what they're doing. They do all this stupid shit and expend so much energy while I'm just chilling waiting for them to make a mistake. It doesn't take long.

Regarding your partner. I would bitch slap anyone who tried to throw a heel hook on me. I don't care what belt you are, that shit is really dangerous. Ankle locks fine, but heel hook no. I'm due for my purple belt in the next month or two, and I can safely say I'll never attempt a heel hook. Even at that level. Now if I were in a bar fight...

yeah heel hooks, ankle locks, etc are just unnecessary in the gym. it's like an omoplata (sp?) - you have to be SO careful, because if you miscalculate and go a LITTLE too quickly, it's dangerous business.

i'm ALWAYS against bigger people - i'm usually the only girl in there, and even with this new chick, i'm still the smallest. and even if a dude were to come in at my weight, he'd still be stronger than me. pound for pound, dudes are just built stronger. so i have to go with the technique.
