I had this guy that I work with come out and train last week. This guy is a pretty big boy, probably 6'3" and about 240 pounds. He ended up falling into almost everyone of these catagories except the giggly girl one, and he really pissed me off.

Now I'm consideribly smaller than this guy, but I'm down to roll with pretty much anyone, so I went to roll with him. I'm still a complete noob to BJJ so I wasn't expecting my technique to give me any huge advantage or even negate his size/strength advantage, but I was pretty sure I would at least me able to survive and work on my defense.

So the roll starts. We start from our knees at my gym, but this asshat pops up off his knees and hits me like I'm a fucking tackling dummy. Then he latches onto my neck and just starts cranking it as hard as he can. It was kind of one of those heel hook type situations where I probably could have kept fighting my way out of it, but I started hearing all kinds of cracking and popping in my neck so I tapped just to make sure I didn't get hurt. This guy did this with everyone he rolled with.

I did get a good laugh in the end though, because we did an hour of straight rolling at the end of the class. This guy seriously looked like he was going to die. He turned blue, and had to sit out three of four times.

What really pissed me off though, was after the class was over all he did was run his mouth about how good he was. About how many people he tapped out. But he had absolutely no technique. He was just way bigger than everyone else and would tackle them, power himself on top of them, and then either crank their neck or smash their face into his blubber and suffocate them.

I guess he is a good motivator though. Because I can't wait to get my technique to the point where his size and strength won't matter when we roll.
