Rolling Question

[The Natural]

this guy was quality..

he got the takedown and went to north south striaght away..

only i know him and know for sure that he has no sub experience, i would have said he was a liar..

Next time, im pulling guard and he's getting the triangle from hell..

LOL!! Thats the spirit!

It's certainly fun rolling with a big strong wrestler, I love it.. totally different tactics required

I know this is easier said than done, but getting top position is the way to break a good wrsetler down.

the only way that this would b possible would be from a side control reversal or a sweep from guard..but i know what u mean..it would be unchartered waters for him..

Work from turtle guard

I can confirm that union players are pretty good too. Don't let them pick you up!

TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS PARTICULARY WHEN THE GUY IS 142KGS

John Kavanagh’s guide to Rolling with BSG’s (Big Strong Guy)

Assumptions
1. He outweighs you by +10kgs (22lbs)
2. He moves in an explosive manner

Aims
1. Stay injury free
2. Get top position, cook your opponent, submit them

A couple of tips I’ve picked up along the way:
Start in combat base – this leaves you free to come forward but more than likely have to accept guard. Never start on your knees, if he rushes you you’ll go over your knee and POP! If you want to ‘fight’ for top then stand up and work for the takedown, space permitting.

Guard
Use your guard to reverse him, forget about climbing to pit stop or armlocks, triangles etc, as you’ll get stacked/slammed and end up injured. Be patient, work your butterfly guard/open guard variations and get the sweep. This might take seconds or hours – what’s the hurry?

Passing
Pass over or around the guard – going under will probably result in a scramble to the knees and him taking you down.

Passing to half guard first is good strategy. Keep your hips low and let them use that ‘spaz’ energy to attempt to reverse you – watch your base!

Top
Shoulder of Justice – have this technique DOWN! I think it’s the key to a good top game for the small guy. Use it to pass the half guard.

Avoid the mount – odds are you’ll be reversed by a BSG.

Use side control to fatigue your opponent – keep your weight on them and block out the guard. When they get to their knees (which they will) take the back.

Back control
Stay there and work for your choke, don’t get excited and give it up for the armbar.

Bottom
This really, really sucks. Mentally you need to find a happy place then keep your arms in and your neck tucked. Wait for them to give you space and work your escapes.

Quality. First time i've read that. Quality
