I had been running for almost a year prior to starting BJJ, so my cardio was decent, but I still find that I gas out much easier than I would like during a roll. I am the oldest and, usually, the smallest (5'5, 150lbs) guy in the class, so I am sometimes rolling with guys who have 80-100 lbs on me, which is tough. However, it forces you to become much more technical, because strong skill is the only way you are going to impose your will on them. I recently was able to submit a guy much bigger than I was (230 lbs) using skill and finesse. Of course, he was also very new to BJJ, but little victories, ya know?
