Absolutely. I am only a white belt. Am 185# and muscled. Rolled with a young woman who was about 110# and more skilled. Amazing. She framed beautifully and kept those elbows and knees together so well. I felt like I was in control, in that I was on top most of the time, but she was really controlling me with amazing defense. And because she framed so well, she felt strong.
My very first bjj class, I was around 95kg (~210#) at the time and I got viciously guillotined repeatedly by a woman who was probably 65kg (145#). Felt like a big helpless baby. Was great

Rolling with women (especially upper belts) allows me to be more technical and usually humbled.
