Size matters far more in randori than it does in fighting. Randori is the use of rules to create a stalemate situation which forces a struggle for training purposes. That's fine in training but in a fight it's an awesome way to get killed. Fighting requires far more aggression far more violence and far more brutality than is allowed or can happen in randori and more often than not in the dynamics of real fighting the more aggressive and violent person wins.
I agree. That was the point on which I entered this thread. The more aggressive and violent person will, most of the time, be the attacker. (When you look at it, this is a tautology: if he weren't aggressive and violent, he wouldn't be out there attacking people.)
