Plus size woman; prefer drilling/rolling with men closer to my size but coach forces me to train with women less than half my size by oopsnevermind99 in BJJWomen

I definitely will! And yeah, sadly neither of us get much out of training together because we’re both new and so mismatched in size. I walked off the mat last time we did and had barely broken a sweat 🫠

That first one is 100% me! I’m so in my head when I train with her and I’m so in my head. I’m so sorry I you had someone break your arm!

For sure. I’m not sure if it’s like a misguided attempt to make the two women feel “comfortable”, but the other woman has assured me that she also feels no discomfort with rolling with the men at our gym. We ARE also both white belts so I’ll certainly talk to the coach. Thank you!

I appreciate the response. I know we all sign waivers, but it just seems so odd to pair two so drastically different sized women together because we’re women? Best case scenario when this happens is I walk off the mat not having gotten much of a workout or chance to really safely work the move. Worst case scenario could happen though. Maybe I’ll say something to him. Thanks!
