Over the weekend, I got the chance to roll with a very experienced grappler. Now this guy is more than a foot shorter than me and about seventy pounds lighter. You've probably already got that this made no difference. The one thing that saved me was the fact we were going for position instead of submission. Still it was about a half an hour of being rolled around like a rag doll. Every time I got close to getting a good position he'd reverse me and say,"you know, I used to fall for that all the time". What a great learning experience it was. He fine pointed me on so many different things I have months of things to train on.
He did sooth my ego a bit by saying I had good basics and used my height advantage well.
He even offered to work with me on a bi-weekly basis free of charge. Can't wait to roll with him again!
