That's a strong guy with bad tech. When you roll with a powerhouse with good tech, you wont prefer strong guys any more.

You can't just power out of good technique. Your technique is sloppy. Case in point, Matt Hughes x Carlos Newton I. If anyone is going to power out of a triangle, I would think it would be Matt Hughes. Had Newton hooked the leg he would have won.

Work on your technique.

This happened to me the other day.

I had a white belt who is probably 20 lbs bigger than me in my guard, and I swear he had a fucking grip of steel. Normally I'm good at breaking grips in the guard, but nothing I did even budged this guys arm. I opened my guard on my own terms rather than wait for the inevitable break and pass on his part.

I wish I had remembered the wrist lock, but seeing as how I don't really practice the move, I completely forgot about it. Also, I'm not even sure I could bend his wrist because this guy was so strong.

This is why there are nifty things called weight classes.

A strong ass white belt with decent technique can give me fits sometimes.

Every once-in-a-while you will run into guys that are retard strong. People that haven't experiencied it can not understand. Scared the shit out of me the first time.

Just commit yourself to moving fast and good form.

You hit the nail on the head here man. Use your technique, sharpen it and then slice him to bits with it. The extra hour you have in your week, we all got at least one right?, use it to get a private from your coach or from the purples and browns at your club. Work your subs and tighten them. There are holes in everyones game that allows stronger opponents to escape you, close these holes and sub out this monster!

You answered your own question.
J/K, I dont know what to say about the power thing, Weaker people just have to have better technique.
I get over powered all the time, (I=185 lbs) by bigger people.
Even if they win by strength, they still win....
Eh, its annoying to me too.

Keep training with him. Getting out-muscled with everything will force you to be technical. Stop using strength and just work on perfecting technique.
