If you have the same level of skill then most of the time he will beat you. If you want to get better than him you have to train twice as hard and be twice as cunning. Most of the guys I train with are over 15 stone. I'm 12 stone. To start with it was very difficult to wrestle with them, they were to strong and heavy. As time has gone by (10 months now, it takes a long time ) I'm finding I can beat them 9 times out of 10 now. Why? because I train more often than them, with different clubs/styles, I read more books, watch more videos and sparred with them time and time again. It'll take a long time, but you'll get there buddy, just have faith, train hard and keep looking to learn and improve Paul
True Hey Sambo Master - just change your selection of moves. Look more at going in low and then coming up inside him, Look at sideway attacking options and go in with conviction. If you are hesitant then you will be in trouble. With ground work keep your base wide and stay on top, you can use your weight as the advantage then. SONSHU
