i feel like i am being a little misunderstood in the point i am trying to get across... but then again maybe i am not, maybe i am going about things the wrong way... i see training like this

you learn a move

you practice the move

you roll

when you roll you experiment, you try this and that and find what works for you...you find out what you have learned and you find out how to take advantage of your opponents weakness's and how to defend your own...

that being said, being of a shorter stockier build i have advantages and disadvantages against a given opponent and i tailor my strategy accordingly... another thick guy is not going to be too phased by something like a bearhug but a thin guy is... it may not be a technical move, but if in the process of rolling you find that it works, why not utilize it. like i said, i feel its all about finding what works for you and practicing to hone your skills.

You are not honing any skills bear-hugging skinny training partners. That does not take skill. You said a lot of people in your school hate rolling with you. Did you ever consider that maybe you have a bad attitude?

#1 - Dudes who don't wash their fucking uniforms. Have some damn respect you vagabond. You don't roll into class looking like you wiped your ass with your gi.

#2- Dudes who are freakin just oily. You know them ones that for some reason just sweaty walking around and are oily. Nasty

#3- Rashes dudes. Fuckers who have like HIV spots all over thenm

#4- The dudes that take a shit right before class in class. Man shit at home first, becase I'm not about to fuckin try to escape bottom position and rub against your semi-wiped ass, you nasty fuck!

Hate them dudes.

I am 25. she asked me to roll last week.... lets just say that I couldn't focus on what we were doing, and every time her hand slid past my crotch I felt of nervousness and i lost my concentration. i swear all i could think about was her body pressing into me... that has never happened to me before, probably cause i've only rolled with ugly chicks...
What school are you at? I might have to switch over!

I'm going to have to use that one: "let go of my shorts, or I'll teabag the f*ck out of you."

i didn't say alot of people hate rolling with me, i said some like to some hate to. like i said i am a little unorthodox. i don't think i have a bad attitude at all, the skinny and thick individuals i refer to are guys my weight of varying builds... and i am more talking about snake pits than just rolling, if i get paired up with a guy smaller than me i will generally just let him work for what he wants to and give him different defensive looks... i'm not going to learn anything from bullying 120 lb kid, however i love rolling with bigger guys because its a greater challenge, it does challenge me to use better technique because its a lot harder to move that extra weight. but like i said i am not ruling out the possibility that i might be looking at things the wrong way, we all make mistakes.

the guys who hate to roll with me don't hate me, alot of us hang out outside of class, its more the ah shit i'm gonna get worked kinda hate... admittedly no one is very advanced at my gym so we are all kinda learning together, i have yet to roll against a real competitor.

Corollary to the smelly guy: the smoker. Like everything in a smokers pad, his gi smells at least enough like cigarette smoke to make you nauseous as soon as he gets on top of you. Sometimes he'll Febreeze his gi to counter this but this only creates a completely sickening combination of cigarette smoke AND chemically cleanness. As soon he gets S Mount you just give him your arm so he can get the sub before you puke.

The 50 year old former "Krotty" guy who tries to kiyup while you are rolling with him. When you take him down he gasses in about 30 seconds due to being out of shape...but proceeds to tell you about how good he once was...all the while you are tapping and/or dominating him.
