Training with bigger stronger opponents

try to sweep for top position. if he sits in your guard open it up a bit and threaten with a guilliotine when he tries to defend he will usually expose his lats, sneak your arm through and go for the 100%. works for me hope it helps

You gotta take the back at all costs. Back your self and do it every opportunity every single day.

This is the same type of guy that will hold you in closed guard for 3 minutes and not try and advance. It gets very aggravating!

You fix this, by not being a white belt anymore (meaning keep practicing).

Keep them moving so they tired out even if you can't stop them from advancing make them work for it through your own technique and then once they are sucking air use strategically timed false advancement attempts and then advance somewhere else just keep your cool and pay attention I constantly train with people at least 20 pounds heavier than me and that's all I do when they try to muscle me and I find it easier to go against larger opponents due to the fact that they get cocky and slip up and try to muscle it about +80% of the time good luck man
