But my question is im a big guy and im trying to find a vid of a big man doing bjj and im struggling bad so if u guys have any folks who are big men that do bjj that would be great and when i say big im talking like 250 plus thanx!

my friend recently joined our school,hes 6'2 360. he has lost 40 lbs since being there and getting good. he smashes the hell out of people if he gets on top but he has no hips yet so his guard sucks right now but hes coming around

Wade Rome from ATT got his black belt in 2006. He's a hell of a competitior and a hell of a big guy.

Get a good guard.

It's more 'ethical' and if you don't, you'll waste your time as a white belt muscling people from the knees to their back.

And then, by the time you get blue or roll with people as big as you are, you will realize you have a very one-dimensional game and that your americana is not tapping people left and right as it used to.

I train with a guy who is 6'9" tall, I have also trained with a guy who is 5'9" tall and about 6'9" wide.

Both these guys are a handful, and I'm also sure that they weren't privy to specialized "big man" competition footage and instructionals, you'll be fine.
