I once read a quote from Helio Gracie in which he said that it was much easier to teach a stupid person jiu jitsu than an intelligent person. He said that you always had to convince the smart person that the move was valid while the stupid person would accept it exactly as it was taught. He found a way to get around this litte problem. He discovered that if he completely exhausted the geniuses then they would have no choice but to beleive in the move. Big guys can learn from this by tiring themselves out as much as possible before “rolling” they will take out much of the strength advantage they have over others.
