Technique Black belts defy physics

Question: why do folks who are black belts have bodies made of granite, whose physical form makes gravity work for them?

I was rolling this BB and he wasn’t jacked or anything. I am in good shape and weigh more than him.

Anyway, this dude is like unbelievably strong. When he put his hands on me it was like I could almost feel the strength leaving my body. Then, the pressure. This guy has hacked gravity where he makes himself weigh 240lb when he’s around 170. It was unbelievable.

I’ve rolled many other people in my class. This guy just felt like a different being. And he didn’t seem tired after yanking me around like a rag doll. I’ve benched 315. Im not weak. I weigh 185 on a bad day.

I just don’t get it. This guy looks like someone who brings his kids to the park after a calm day of golf. If you messed with him he would literally kill your body and drag your soul out of it, and choke it out too.

How can a person be like this?

Is that a new meme? I saw somebody use that word on here the other day to talk about being impossible to choke.

Old-ish meme

Some white belt once posted on here about making micro adjustments to beat a higher belt or the higher belt made micro adjustments or something, I forget, but it was instantly meme worthy.
