Default Competitive wrestling for big guy

Most sessions wrestlers don't do full competitive wrestling. I somewhat understand that - the risk of injuries is real.

Those few that do usually have a size limit on opponent. Obviously also for good reasons.

Anyone know about a session wrestler that would be willing to do full competitive wrestling with a big guy (6'2" and 240 lb)?

Actually, I'm going to disagree with a couple of statements. I think the bigger concern with the women is someone who doesn't have any experience or training asking for a competitive session.

I'm bigger than you are and generally I haven't had a problem with getting competitive matches if they are offered as an option. But I also can tell the woman what my training background is and who i've done sessions with before.

Just out of the blue with no references, you may have a problem finding someone willing to do the session.

Then maybe you should try an alternate approach. When one of the ladies who has some good technical skills is nearby, ask her if she will give you a wrestling lesson. Which is actually what I did for my first session.

At the very least, it will be a lot more fun than walking into a bjj school and trying their intro class or package.

I'm also 6'2" and 280 lb and wrestle quite competitive with the most of girls. Important is, that you have a good body feeling and a little bit experience of Judo or BJJ. Then is mostly possible to fight quite competitive with most of girls.

I think that I "belong" to this topic too
For me, every big guy (but overall everyone) who asks for a full-competitive session, MUST keep in mind that it's not a street brawl. Obviously, there is a risk for both people when they push their bodies (like in every kind of sport) but there should always be a common sense. I mean, yes, show your "features" and try to "win" BUT don't forget to have fun and avoid dangerous movements. You're not in an MMA cage and there isn't a "prize" at the end. Not least, anyway and anyhow, you have a lady in front of you.

I'm sorry I have to post this "review" from wb270 once again, it's just epic

3/02: "Robin is an absolute delight. She is beautiful, bright, affable, and as talented as they come. I wrestled her at her house in Hollywood--a great location. She rolls out a mat right there in the living room. I'm a former linebacker and had 100 pounds on her, yet she dominated me from the get-go. I felt as if I were auditioning for a job as a contortionist the way she twisted and turned me. Everytime I thought I might be getting some slight advantage she would immediately counter and I'd end up trapped again. She's a sweetheart with the skills of Strangler Lewis."

It happens to me with the little Ola or Antscha! Both half of my weight.
