No, he's saying that, after a certain point, clever application of force is more important than sheer strength. I get the impression you equate momentum to force. This is true for elephants and sumo wrestlers, but other martial arts require speed and precision as well as strength. Speed obviously becomes more difficult when you have more mass to move.

Otherwise, I agree that fat can help healing and provide "padding", but this shouldn't be exaggerated. There's a reason that most martial artists do not look like sumo wrestlers.
