we've clearly rolled w/ the same guy. The sad thing is, I'm 5'1" on a good day, so there's only so much leg to wrap around someone. but this dude not only would marvel over my lack of a closed guard game, but how "easily" he could pass. And then do NOTHING. Yay! Let's sit in sloppy side guard and call it an offense!
I recognize that there'a a place for strength in one's game, but when it's the main/only component? Hate it. I usually defuse those types by pointing out "hey! good job! you just overpowered the short girl!" Although sometimes I lift them off the ground, just to see the look on their face.
it's always amazing to me how much ego invades the mat.
