I am a BJJ blue belt and train since 2006. I was sidelined due to a knee injury for almost year, so I am still stuck at blue belt.
I am 5'10'' and weigh 145 pounds.
Today in training I rolled with another blue belt from my gym. We were just three guys and the coach in training, the heat kills it for the other guys;-).
So today I rolled with this guy. He's 6'1'' and weighs 208 pounds.
I rolled with him many times before but this was the first time for like 2 months because he wasn't able to come to training because of his work. I had a very bad time against him because I ended up in sidecontrol very often without being able to do anything.
In the last two months I trained a lot. I went to BJJ training 3 times a week for 2 hours and rolled every saturday with a buddy who is a judo brown belt and he's a big guy, 5'11'' and 200. I really wanted to improve my game against big dudes.
To be honest, we started from our knees, because a new guy was at class and the trainer wanted to show him the basic sparring.
First thing I did, I pulled guard. Had a good grip on his gi around his neck and pulled his head down. He leaned back and tried to get his posture again. I moved my hips out to the left and put my knee on his solar lexus and pulled even harder down on his gi to make him feel pain. When he tried to put pressure on me by leaning forward I put my leg on his neck and went for a triangle. I tightened the choke by grabbing my foot and pulling towards my knee cap. He tapped not 5 seconds after it.
I was really happy that I finally did tap him. I must say he got his blue belt not long ago and isn't that flexible of a guy but he sure as heck is stronger than me.
Making him tap was a big success for me. As one of the lightest guys in the school I always had a very hard time because most of the guys are a lot heavier. I really noticed that the training with my judo buddy paid out.
Ok, well, maybe no one will read this. If you do feel free to post "Cool story bro" pics or gifs.;-)
