The thing with BJJ is that while it's really effective, there is a certain marketing with it that size can easily be trumped. So I'm curious on two things:
Thanks.
I'm 6''1 and 210lbs; most of my fight experience comes from years of boxing. I had heard that size doesn't matter that much in grappling, even if it's against a female - in BJJ I got to spar a girl who has a few years of experience (I have just a few weeks).
She's 5''4 and 130lbs; however I easily handled her, keep in mind, she has years of experience over me in grappling; and despite that, I handled her and overpowered her.
Perhaps because I was well conditioned from boxing, my physical advantage was able to be maximised.
The thing with BJJ is that while it's really effective, there is a certain marketing with it that size can easily be trumped. So I'm curious on two things:
- Does being a male make that much of a difference or is just size ? (ie: would a smaller male do better than a female)
- Have you had similar experience of defeating a smaller yet more experienced female?
Thanks.
