Injury is just a reality of training bjj. I've never been a little guy when fighting my walk weight was about 190 - 200 and I would cut down to 170 for competition or fights. Now after injuries, beer and life my walk weight is like 235 - 240. I haven't noticed an increase or decrease of injury from size to size. I'd say if you want to avoid serious injury obviously stretch and make sure to tap. But for instance the other week a buddy and me were rolling he went for the twister and me knee just popped out of place. He didn't have the submission in it just popped. BJJ is a contact sport injuries are part of it the most important thing is when you do get hurt give your self ample time to heal and you should be able to bounce back from anything.

Cheers and good luck training
