Nutz,
I've done some DUMOG type training, and lots of judo/jj stuff...in fact my forthcoming book is based around using these skills combined witgh striking skills and stuf to control even larger attackers....
I'm also 6'1" 200lbs.....
Those combine to make it feasible to fight most people, even big ones....If I can't hit 'em or I can't hurt 'em by hitting 'em, those skills come in real handy....Nevertheless....I have worked with guys that were so thick that even a punch in the throat had a couple inches of muscle or fat to get through..The tendons and ligaments around their knees are so thick and tough from carrying 250+pounds, that a stomp their ain;t gonna do diddly either...
Much as we hate to admit it...There are guys out there big enough that the only way to beat 'em is to shoot 'em or to stick 'em....
I got the line from a my grandad and dad, both of whome are former Detroit cops...My granddad was a narc ion the 60s working the outlaw bikers.....he's 5'6" and has never weighed more than about 135 lbs, soaking wet.....My dad is 5'5" and weighs in at about 150-160...
BOth are hard as woodpecker lips, but both also know their limits...I try to know mine as well.....
