i am tall but skinny tips on takedowns?

[landondev]

i am a pretty light person but i am actually really good and can normally handle people a bit bigger than me, but getting them on the ground is the real issue only sometimes so i pull guard but that ends up bad sometimes and they get side control and put all of their weight on me, any tips?

Ankle picks, Trips, and great Takedown defense should be your bread and butter.

I've found that tall guys tend to have pretty high rates of success when using trips like osoto gari and ouchi gari, you can use your longer legs to benefit you with these techniques. Some throws can be challenging to pull off because it takes more effort to get your hips below your opponent's.

I'm tall an skinny too. I do well with snapdowns, body locks and trips, but I'm not beyond hitting a solid double leg or even a sweep single now and then.

In a gi, you need to win the gripping battle. Once you have, techniques like o uchi gari, ko uchi gari, o soto gari, etc...

I am a lightweight person but I am actually really good and can handle people a bit bigger than me normally. But getting them on the ground is the real issue.

Sometimes I pull guard but that can end up bad sometimes and they can gain side mount and put all their weight on me too.
