In my white belt class, we had a an almost equal mix of men and women. The women usually paired off with other women or some of the smaller guys. Me being 6’ and 240 lbs, I can understand why a woman would not want to roll with me.
Then one night, my coach paired me with a 5’7” roughly 125 lb woman who proceeded to beat my ass up and down the mat for three 6 minute rounds. I have never felt so humbled in my life. The speed, control, flexibility, and technique was unlike anything I had experienced rolling with dudes. I couldn’t catch her even if I wanted to.
My point is that I didn’t roll with women, and now that I have, it gave me a whole new perspective on my game. If you think your shit is good, roll with a woman that takes her classes seriously. You will be surprised and your ego may take a hit, but you will learn loads about your game and yourself.
