All techniques are tougher to pull off on bigger dudes

If he's a champion that's gonna be difficult cause if that's what he's pinning you with its probably one of his better judo pins. The key is to get your elbow to the mat though. For example say if he is on your left side, he's gonna have your left arm in his lap/across his waist. Take your right arm and frame across his face, shrimp onto your left side as you push his face away. This should get your left elbow to the mat, if not you may have to shrimp a couple times. You should have enough room to throw your right leg hook in and if you leg leg curl and come up to your knees their back will be for the taking.
Clear as mud right? Hope that gave you some sort of idea.

thanks man... im going to go shrimp crazy on his ass.... but he is a champ and has the ability to change ever so subtly. its tough but if i can eventually escape his side, then most others should be a cake walk!

Thanks a load again dude.

Is it fair to say that the rubber guard system wasn't really designed for bigger dudes? By this I mean, in competition and specifically MMA you fight in weight classes, so more than likely you will be agaisnt someone where their strength difference can be neglected by your rubber guard technique.

Sometimes a smaller but wider little dude can simulate situations typified by a larger opponent. I try to construct different game plans for different body types and against different grappling styles.

Double bagging has helped me tremendously. It wears them out so u can get to chill dog. From there ill go for omo or jiu claw and most of the time I get it
