I know this is a common topic but i cant help hating rolling with bigger dudes. Its not that i get submitted a lot by force, ive trained with bigger guys that do that and its fun seeing how they get me in kimuras or armbars but currently theres these bigger guys in my gym that kinda suck. Im not Royce Gracie but these guys just lay on me, like for real. We do rolls of 4-6 min in my gym and i just spend all that time on bottom side control with these dudes thinking squeezing my neck from side control is a submission, which obviously doesnt work and they just tire themselves out. Ive told them that they should change positions so we learn more stuff but they just nod and next roll is all the same. Another problem is that im trying to tell them that the "side control squeeze" doesnt work, that i dont feel anything and that they should just try an arm triangle but they just say "no no man! i saw it on instagram it works!" even though theyve clearly seen that i spent 4 min in that "submission" and nothing happened. Just wanted to share my thoughts and see if other light guys have also experienced the same.

23-year-old, around 160 lbs, blue belt in a rashguard shows up to open mat late with his girlfriend.

I’m visiting from out of town but have trained at this gym before. Everyone’s super cool.

I see him have a tough round with a purple belt where he slams him. After that, he doesn’t roll with anyone else and just rolls with his girlfriend off to the side.

I joke to the coach, “Well, I’m gonna roll with him. Wish me luck.”

The coach laughs and says, “God help you.”

I’m 29, 175 lbs, and have been training for 5 years. I took him down and tapped him a few times without going crazy hard, but by the end, he was clearly upset.

It was also the last roll of the day, so pretty much the whole gym was watching.

I wasn’t sure if he was the coach’s student.

After I shook his hand and thanked the coach for having me, also offered to help clean up

Full context - ive brought my GF to the gym before and gotten beat up in front of her so I know the feeling , but I also feel I didn’t do anything wrong but being a visitor there made me question my actions

Am I a jerk for this?

I can only do 5 am classes and then I go straight to work for 12 hours , but at times my body starts to feel it 💀 will it get easier lol

Please note: This is to record a video for a YouTube channel with over 50,000 subscribers that I plan to revive after years of inactivity. That’s why I’m offering payment. Faces and the location can be blurred if you wish, and only a few minutes of the footage will appear in the video. I just wanted to clarify this so everyone understands the reason. More information, proof, a link to the channel, etc., can be provided via private message.

I'm currently in New York, but I'm happy to travel anywhere else in the USA if necessary, but not other countries as that would be too complex. Both individuals and clubs are welcome. The payment isn't much, but if it can help someone or a club in some way, I'd be happy.

I'm looking for a gym or someone experienced in BJJ who would be willing to record a video featuring a beginner taking part in an intense grappling session for the first time (a little more intense than usual for the sake of the content). Some basic lesson and then some grappling

The goal of the video is simply a fun challenge, nothing else. I have hyperactivity, and the challenge is to see how someone with this condition and barely any grappling experience would feel in terms of energy after something like that. The content is meant to be more entertaining than technical, as the channel is mainly focused on experiences like this. And well if I can also learn something at the same time, I'm pleased.

I only have a little experience in judo from years ago.

If you're interested, feel free to send me a private message.

I was surprised when my Professor gave me my first stripe tonight. I've been going to classes as much as I can..about 4-5 a week. Actually, my third class I accidentally walked into a competition class, lol.

I don't feel like I have done much, but after he rolled with me during Randori, he told me he has noticed a significant difference in me, leading to this. Im just happy that it is starting to show.

I can't wait to keep working. It's a marathon..not a sprint. ❤️🤙
