You don't necessarily need to be heavy.
You don't?
No.
Why do you, as people say, you feel extremely heavy?
If I'm being heavy, I cannot attack.
I have to choose.
I can be heavy just to pin them, take the energy out to make them suffer.
But the moment that I decide to attack, I can only be heavy if I'm sitting up straight.
That's when all my weight drops down.
If I'm high, then I'm sitting on your chest and on your solar plexus.
That's the worst position to be seated on the person because that's where he breathes.
So in a high mount, sitting up straight, that's when I can be very heavy.
I can make people feel my weight and be very uncomfortable, but I'm not in a position to attack.
The moment that I want to attack, my body has to lean forward.
I have to approach the neck or the arms.
The moment that I do that, my weight comes off my hips.
It goes to my knees.
The weight is off you.
But at that point, if you have... Now I'm attacking.
I'm no longer heavy on you.
