so a close friend of mine has started mma with me. I am quite new to it but i have a BJJ background. anyways, he weighs probably 110 pounds and i am 145. and he doesnt really want to get hit in the head because he recently got surgery to remove a lump on his head (not sure the whole story). its pretty much healed up, i hate to say it but he is kind of a wimp. so the problem is, he wants to be my partner every class. i feel like i have to teach him the whole time rather than learn myself. plus even if he was better than me, hes just a tiny person. too easy to throw around and overpower. does anyone have any suggestions about what i can do? i dont want to be blunt about it. i would just feel too bad. i really want to improve my stand up but its tough when i can only throw body shots and i have to go about 10% on everything we do
