Man, the worst guy I ever sparred was some fatass wrestler who only knew neck cranks and who reeked of cigarette smoke.

All he did was take me down, get tired, then lie on me; it was hard to breathe because of his weight on me, and it smelled awful. He kept going for neck cranks, which I defended, but my neck was sore as shit after.

I hate working with people a lot smaller, b/c then I have the bad habit of muscling techniques instead of doing them right.

YES! I'm not a big guy at 160 but I'm a lot stronger than most and it blows when you're grappling with a stick or even worse a stick that's gassed. There's a lot of new people at my gym that are 180 plus so I'm stoked. Been working my armbars a lot.

Random post, but it's somewhat related.

I recently discovered the real weakness of the spazz in my gym. He has a weak back and neck and dispite that he has 70 pounds on me he CANNOT regain posture once I broke him down. Unfortunately during our roll when I was trying to get revenge from him spazzing on my shoulder over a month ago (when he last did BJJ class), I was too tired to capitalize beyond breaking him down, getting rubber guard, and working an omaplata.

He also greatly enjoys a shitty stack with hands on my biceps in guard, but my armbar isn't great, any ideas on shutting him down?

I've never been much of a cardio guy and most of the guys at my academy are strong wrestlers. So usually the worst people for me to go with are the big, strong, and full of cardio. I do like it sometimes though because I can work on technique. The worst people to go with though are people who smell terrible and who go out with the intent to kill.

Im surprised this thread has become so long.

Anyway, one that I haven't found mentioned so far is the injured guy who doesn't take his own injury into consideration.

Some of them are far better than I am so normally I would have to play my A game but in these cases I have to go softer than I would with a new white belt.

I don't want to be know as the guy that broke some guys new or had to have back surgery because of some small thing I did.
