My Boss is the second-banana at my Judo Club. He's about 5'9" 280, and has been a 4th dan for 15ish years. The dude is such a bad ass he won collegiate nationals back in the day with a dislocated shoulder and a punctured lung. Then again, he's also t-boned a truck on his motorcycle at 70mph and had the presence of mind to do a rolling fall. It subluxated his hip, broke his hand, and gave him a concussion, but that's it.
Anyway, the point is that I can't do shit against him. There's no offense. The only times I've ever tossed him have been off of suplexes from hip tosses or catchin him on his foot sweeps. I've tried to Te Guruma him before, but it's really hard to Te Guruma somebody who can turn any hip toss into a Makikomi and the harder I pull back away from him the more oomph he puts into the throw.
The dude is a farmer. Farmer oomph is the wrath of god. He doesn't fuck around with me either. Everything he ever throws is a soto or taio makikomi. I can stop just about everything else, but I can't stop either of those. Every other time I can get lucky and ride it down, but if he gets enough wrap on me there's nothing I can do.
I can't hip toss him because I've got a half foot on him. I've got a wicked osoto but he's a bit stocky for that and last night I got Te-Gurumaed mostly by my balls. I've flying armbarred him, but he's got balance to the point where he can squat down and stay standing, and since it's Randori and Judo Rules at that, there's no locking in mid-air. So he just stands there and laughs.
He usually plays me left-handed with a high grip, and I'm pretty much completely incapacitated once he gets it. It's hard enough mustering up the strength to get the guy off his base, and when he's throwing at full power there's pretty much not a damn thing I can do.
Tomoenage/Pulling Guard isn't a very smart idea either. For starters, I can barely close my guard around him, and like I said, he's got about 100 lbs on me, and mad farmer strength. We call him the Great Oak. That's how unpossible it is.
Any suggestions?
