this has to do with Taijutsu, just let me get to it.
Monday night I went to my Brazilian jiu jitsu class. We did some sparring/randori and I was paired with a guy in the class much bigger than me (around 6', 200-220).He is kinda new to grappling, so he used his tremendous strength with the skills he did know (plus he is 2nd Dan in Karate) to hold me down. I got his back a total of 3 times, until he finally tapped from exhaustion. I owe my ability to retain energy from Taijutsu. At one point, I used a laying down version of TYR Muna Dori.
My question is, has anyone spend time practicing standing techniques from their back?
