I go to a bJJ school and most of the people going are much bigger than me, I'm about 117 lbs 5'7, Anyway it is really hard for me to sweep them, maintain the mount, and Elbow Escaping. Could sosme one help me?

your first attempt at a sweep or reversal will most likely not work.

what you have to get good at doing is attempting a sweep, when the guy resists, take him the opposite way. you may even have to use up to 3-4 moves to get a guy over.

it takes time and practice, stick with it.

Learn to fight from the guard really effectively. You're going to spend a lot of time on your back.

IGBJJS -- I know what you're thinking. STOP IT.

hips, move the hips. most guys try to muscle the technique when they first start. with more practice you'll get it. oh and go out the back door a lot, you are small should work better for you.

Go away I'm talking to myself

I think it's great that IGBJJs gives TKD Boxer some friendly, honest advice and then says *Everyone that does TKD likes to have their fudge packed deeper than Jerry Springer's Final Thought*.

Let me explain, I go to a school that teaches both TKD and BJJ by diffrent instructors, the thing is, once you get the BB in TKD BJJ is free, So that is why I am doing TKD, truethfully I hate TKD,it sucks.

a laughable statement at best...

What you need to do is sense your balance and his balance. Sense his force and the amount of force and the direction that it's going. If the guy's stance is so sweeping isn't the best thing to do, manipulate his balance by pressuring and releasing, or just releasing, or circling and doing it.
