[MA] Best dirty-fighting style for a callous weakling?

Not always. Mass is certainly a factor, and it can be difficult for a smaller mass fighter to overcome a large difference, but it is possible to close the gap. If nothing else, I think the career of Royce Gracie is one demonstration of that. And a good, combat-trained juijutsuka or akijuutsuka, not to mention a practioner of Silat or Eskrima, will have techniques to help vs. large mass grapplers. Really - momentum matters.

But that doesn't change the fact that during an exhibition of self-defence for women, the ca 120 lbs. kumite champ trying to demonstrate her moves on me without asking me to cooperate first found herself simply unable to do so.

A question: were you actively attempting to move on her, or did she have to come in and attack you?
