Oh yeah, there's literally no winning in physical altercations until you can get out of the situation. But God help me I got a sick ass ouchigari in a similar sort of situation in a competitive round against a stiff arming opponent. I pray for the restraint to walk away from something stupid, useless, and easily avoidable.

But on the subject of general grappling, it's an underappreciated part of BJJ that you can use any style you want on the feet. I get typecasted as a judoka so whenever I stuff a wrestling takedown it's this "gentle" reminder that they're not overcoming me that easily. Then if I'm not making progress with grips, unlike a judo class, I can go "you know what? Fuck this." and launch myself at their hips for the double.

Going with someone who's much lighter and weaker is always a little touchy, but it's not impossible to keep it dynamic. When I'm picking on someone my own size, sometimes I'll use jerky, poppy movements to try and get my way. So when I try to do the same thing on a smaller partner it feels like bullying it's not fun. I'll always be scanning to make sure that if I were their size and would I have been pushed over then I'll just go with it. And I'll ask myself if my techniques are "real" that if they get pushed over it's by principaled grappling and not an extra strength stiff arm. With all of this you can approximate a full contact round in which your smaller partner can work but also still be at risk of getting outmaneuvered.
