Every gym I go to. From Judo, BJJ to MMA gyms, when I roll with a little guys, or even sometimes normal sized men, there always has to be at least one guy who will let you know that the only reason you scored a submission was because of your size/strength. They'll complain about it too.
Do you guys treat smaller guys differently? My Judo coach noticed, that I, at some points, wouldn't take openings for throws or pick ups. And I explained to him why. He told me to use size and any physical attributes I have to the fullest regardless of what people say.
So I did as he says, but it has not made me a popular guy at the gym. Before people tell me I'm just an asshole that is going too hard, the gym is known for going hard and the little guys will roll at 100% with you while expecting you to "use technique not your size". I mean, I get it, you want to work on your technique that's why you're there, but since the smaller guys are going balls out, it forces me to as well.
Just wondering if you guys had that problem.
