Definitely do that. I've been attempting to get my own channel going, but my only excuse is laziness.
On a similair note, that video of Banko going toe to toe with the security guard reminded me of an encounter I had with a "transman." I also take BJJ. In sparing, I try to win by technique and match my speed, strength and intensity with my opponent. I was sparing with a female to male trans. It appeared she had a masectomy and seemed like she hit the benchpress pretty heavily. She had a gym bro air and looked to be 170 lbs and came at me aggressively as if she was stronger than me and wanted to dominate when we started to roll. At first I was thrashing her pretty rough and surprisingly easily until it dawned on me. Her arms were weak. Her "pectoral muscles" were 3" thick silicon implants. I am usually better at sizing people up, but she had an air similair to Banko Brown going up against the security guy.
I quickly realized that I was grappling with someone with the bone structure, strength, and fighting instincts of a 120 lbs woman, not a 170 lbs man. I backed way down on my intensity after that. I wanted to warn her that she was going to get herself hurt trying to go toe to toe with a larger, stronger opponent (whether on the street or in the gym) but what good would that do in this age? Instead, I just said, "Nice rolling with you, bro."
