    At 150 and stopped free rolling with 200+ going 100%. I land out just hurting a rib, my back or neck. Since I stopped doing that, I haven't been getting hurt and not had to take time off.

    I try to roll with the littlest guys possible, unfortunately the only one smaller than me is Yoda and he smashes me.

    To avoid aggravating my injuries I took Luis' advice. Lockdown and top game only when dealing with the giant folk.

    Im 155 (walk around) and compete at 145-155...and yes, I agree...I roll with all of my students and I also make sure Im the first guy to roll with anyone who is a walk-in.

    I have a pocket of guys (about 10) that are between 190-215. A few at the 230 mark. Lots of 170-185 ish...and one guy who is 135.
    Its brutal on the body, but they appreciate and respect the fact that I roll and spar with all of them....6 nites a week..

    I roll with everyone at my gym regardless of size, but most everyone their is size conscious and don't try to rip you in half or otherwise be an ass.

    I don't really care how big or small they are, I'm there to learn.

    I'm 5'10 and about 160. I roll with a buddy of mine that's 6'3, 250lbs with 3% body fat. I make him work for the sub, but I can never submit him. My day will come though.
