Basic and Misc. Fighting Technique Discussion
1

Hello, I humbly ask you guys to help me with an opinion.

I do grappling / wrestling / glima ocasionally since 2016.

I have fought many opponents, not a big deal.

Now I wanted to try another level and went to a different style of glima, another gym in my city.

I can easily put down a few guys but some are incredibly though to put down.

My weight : 71 kg
Height : 167 cm

Problem is not that I am not at the same weight with them, I’ve put down guys of 100 kg before and very tall guys.

Yet, there are a few at this new gym which I cannot put down yet. (they have lots of judo background, mma, etc)

One of these guys is 120 kg and somewhat 1,78 cm and has a great foot game.

I have two questions :

  1. I really ask you, experienced guys, what would be your best approach into putting such guys down ? regarding the given situation

  2. One of my main problems is that after a few minutes of grappling without break, I gas out very bad, to the point of fainting feeling, that alters my fighting / grappling ability a lot. How can I improve it to no longer feel exhausted after effort while grappling and to keep long good stamina ?

Thank you, with great respect.

Without video of said rolls, impossible to say. Other than that keep training.

This question feels very much like in the vein of I am a Blue Belt how do I tap out Black Belts.
The thing that is great about grappling is largely if someone is better they will always win.
That is not to say sometimes they don’t have very specific holes in their game that can be exploitable but at that point what your really doing is drawing them into a game where your better at that game and it goes back to my point of the better person winning.
Their are not punchers chances with grappling.
So as the other 2 just said you just got to put in the work to get better than them and that might simply never happen as well.
Only think you can for sure do is get better than you are now.

It sounds like you’re not training consistently and have poor conditioning. Fix those things and the rest will take care of itself
