why not just sweep the leg?

[Vash1202]

Yeah, but remember that this is sport grappling, not meant for self-defense

@punking12341 That's why I said, "unless there's a huge skill gap."

[punking12341]

@LemonNation with good skills you can submit most untrained opponents. ofcorse weight makes it more difficualt, but with practising your techniques over and over again, you have a good chance of winning.

its more dangerous to do standing (boxning/kicks) with an opponent who weighs a lot, because he can hit you with a lucky ponch.

cheers

@punking12341 Why would you try to grapple a larger opponent in the first place? Unless there's a huge skill gap you'll get mooshed no matter what you do.

@FrostyTheOatmealBoy His technique leads you into a side mount

[poopalover]

@FrostyTheOatmealBoy will take you off balance, safer way of doing it. But yeah no reason why not

[punking12341]

[Adublablagada]
