exactly ryu, bau
untrained people have basically NO BASE whatsoever on the ground....without a base, you can still get off a decent punch using brute strength, but without a base, your gonna get sweeped all day long.....even if a guy is 250, if your sweep game from the bottom is decent(good white belt/new blue or higher) you should be able to sweep untrained people with ease
Ryu, your right though about big guys- You do have to be decent at BJJ to sweep them. But not a blackbelt or anything....Some who has taken a few classes isn't gonna be able to go out and start flippen biker guys from his guard blindfolded....but definitely, a few months of jj you should be able to
