She's been training BJJ since 9, already knew how to apply it. Training aka sparring with her, gives her the chance to use it in real time against a resisting opponent. I resisted, but only marginally, and let her lock it on. Like your argument the average girl can't do this, well the average guy wouldn't know how to defend it prior to be locked on, nor while they are going to sleep.

The RNC is probably the easiest submission to teach, as it's a high percentage one to use. An effective one entails knowing the little things that make it uber effective, like pushing the head forward with your back hand and placing your face on your hand to create more pressure; squeezing with your whole body like you are hugging them versus just using your arms to apply the choke.

Do you think a 90lb trained fighter would beat a 250lb heavy weight trained fighter? Normally.... that is, not the random chance. That's what I always thought the the weight classes where for and why you don't ever see those two types of people fight - unless it's two heavy weights going at it and one is 265 and the other is 400.
90lbs vs 250lbs, same amount of training, no. There's an old Brazilian saying when it comes to weight classes, and training. "For every belt, add 20lbs."
Belts are: white, blue, purple, brown, black

So a purple belt would be able to handle a weight difference of white belt who's 60lbs heavier, and so on. All due to technique and training.

Male to female though, I don't out weight my wife by that much - and I can over power her by 100's of times her own strength. She can't pick me up, I can easily pick her up and toss her...

Now maybe if she trained every day for years - I'm sure it would be a greatly different story, because I wouldn't be 100's of times stronger than her anymore.
Without a doubt, same weight the male is stronger. That's why BJJ was created. Helio was 140lbs, and would fight 250lbs fighters, and win. It's about leverage and technique. Six months of training, and she would surprise you my friend, a year and it wouldn't even be funny the ownage she would cause. We've had this discussion before, JustDave says 2 to 3 times a week and you'll get good, i'm more of the 5 times plus a week.
