I am 6-1 and 155 only and I cannot pick anyone up

So that makes you 2-3" taller than me.

And it makes you 3-4lbs heavier than I was last time I weighed myself about 2 years ago. (I'm probably a bit heavier at the moment, I was ill for a while last year and I've definitely got squishier.)

You're certainly not underweight by any stretch of the imagination, but from your description you're definitely understrong.

Barring any physical/medical reason not to, I'd recommend you get some strength training done.



Edit to add: you're also only 1 year older than me as well, so it's not like I'm expecting you to be like a 20 year old...

you really think you can suplex me over your head ??
My new coach has shown me several body lock trips and tosses that I can do

my private wrestling coach never showed me any of these super cool moves and now I May fire him

I feel from body locks I have 4 good rear TD and 2 good side TD
That is enough and I hope the coach won’t keep adding because this is plenty

If by suplex you mean what Google shows (I'm not a wrestler/grappler - picking you up from behind so you're effectively sat on my shoulder and falling over backwards?) then yeah, don't see why not. Depends how much you struggle ;)

I wouldn't though, because I'm not sure about having a suitable technique to protect myself while doing it.

If it was really the only sort of move open, then I'd do it, but I wouldn't go down with you - so I'd probably be incorrect in my application.

Being a tkd guy, I'm more likely to go for "kick to the head" instead.

Do you have anything from the front?
