I am in my later 40's and I have no problem with people using strength with "COMMON SENSE" as alluded to by Professor Faria. I have an issue with much bigger guys using it on smaller guys like me when things don't go their way. I am roughly 5"6, 160 lbs. I heard a very respected BJJ professor in my area basically say if you are a solid 20 to 40 pounds bigger than your partner who is of similar experience you should be able to go sub maximal intensity and still at least hold your own because if you can't you basically suck. I have a Judo background but recently have switched to BJJ primarily due to not wanting or able to take high impact throws. My ground game is rather undeveloped but I do have a decent base and gripping. I recall some earlier sporadic experience in my younger days in bjj because when they couldn't submit or sweep me, some of the bigger blue and purple belts go ape shit. I specifically remember a purple belt going crazy hard and trying to leg lock me when I am just a white belt there to try a class. When I was more involved with Judo and helped teach Judo, I would never allow such equivalent behavior to less experienced players. When I was teaching Judo, I encouraged the stronger Judokas to work on their lesser techniques against weaker players and give them the throw if the entry was good nor grind them down too much during grip fighting. In bjj I mainly try to flow roll and if I get caught I will tap like a champ but it seems there are quite a few blue and purple belts who treat the roll as if it is the finals of the ADCC. The other Judo instructors and I would call Judokas who try to murder everyone on every randori session "Everyday Olympians". I don't care if a guy similar in size to me uses their strength but it's the bigger guys who try to squish a beginners like me when things don't go their way. It seems generally that brown belts and above typically have less ego. By the way the real good ones seem to use timing to make me feel like a helpless child.
A good player isn’t going to let you bring them forward easily. I usually plan to position myself lower on the waist as I shoot the under hook from a knee shield. Sometimes you get blocked and have to change strategy. Hope that helps
If their posture is upright control near side wrist and take the back with an armdrag. If the pull back out of they armdrag you can almost always underhook.
