A bit surprised as how high guillotines are It's an eye opener For real, it's the only system that I've not implemented into my game I pretty much suck at everything, from the setups to the finishing mechanics And I do other stuff, like d'arces and anacondas

If you have 5 rounds you should be rolling with 5 different people, our coach always make sure we do change partners between rounds. Maybe some exceptions if there's not a lot of girls or smaller teenagers on that class. But it's really important to train with different styles, bodytypes and...

No problem with taking your time in full mount or in the back It's more about being back in the guard with the lead in points. You can stay there forever without really engaging

Kaynan looked very good I agree, he looked good everywhere and won fair and square But Gaudio and Rocha was pretty much active staling

Agree with that It's an awesome setup, that or a cage I wouldn't any stupid injuries due to the angle But anything to avoid just going out of the mat

Watched the IBJJF grand prix last night The idea was good, a selected bracket of very good grapplers But the ruleset with advantages is so awful for nogi. Stalling all over the place, pointless wrestling with one of the guy not engaging because he knows that the first points can lose him the...

So it's intense, one big hip movement and it's over

''Why would you ignore 50% of the body'' Danaher yapping about what Dean Lister said to him even if it was the only time in his life he saw him. Sometimes, just one sentence, from a man you only encounter once and to never see him again can have an astronomical effect on your life, bigger than...

Yeah that's the one it's not a easy one for me neither, it"s all about weight distribution on your feet so the step over gets easy But very tough to do in live rolling At my gym a lot of people just go on their back the second you don't keep them on their side with your knees pinching them...

Danaher as a move that he calls crosskimura that is pretty much like a tarikoplata but you fall on your back and use both your legs to break the grip NS choke is pure bullshit, so few people are consistent with it. I have a guy at my gym that is becoming pretty good to bait people to turn a...

Sweep Quick pass from headquarters (smash, over-under, X pass, shin cutter) side control to mount with a strong emphasis to put a arm over is head Then I setup triangle from the top (take it if they give it to me) until they give up the gift wrap Back take to straight jacket (leg over...

For me, guard passing is the most complex thing about BJJ to explain. In the guard you learn a guard and the techniques that are doable in that guard. For subs, you get to the position and you execute that sub. In guard passing, you need to understand what the guy is doing to you, reset to a...

Yep, there's a big huge hole in the ruleset. Your exemple is a very good one, anything that involve scrambles is un-scorable. And yes you can have huge position changes during those scrambles and nothing scores. I would be ok with anything ending up with you clearly on top will give out 2 points...

So armbars from the mount, triangles from the top, even backtakes are a bad idea because you can end up on the bottom at the end of an escape or scramble. As I always saw it, BJJ doesn't reward positional dominance as you say it. It's all about going towards a submission. You sweep, you get...

I believe the logic about reversals not scoring points is to make sure people will advance and try subs without fearing to get reversed. Side control reversals are kind of rare and most of the time there was some sort of sub attempt or transition to mount in some way. They want people on top to...

I believe that The top players are all very good guard passers and very good at defending leg locks, everybody just attack when on top Even the takedown game is getting better, less useless shoving and more action

In that format, the judges ''could'' make it a draw and it's end up in overtime but they can declare a winner immediately most of the time Like in TUF, 2 rounds but a third if necessary

That's for sure educated people is the way for sub only Maybe having draws for close matches with instant overtime could do the trick. And then a final decision based on that overtime For real, the level is crazy and in a lot of cases it's way to tough to know who is clearly winning. But...

Sub only can get really weird Good human judging is maybe the only answer Real BJJ guys can see and know who was winning the exchange, who was attacking and who was defending, no matter if they were up or down. I wouldn't be stalling if I know that the judges will never give you the win for...

It's really tough in no gi to keep someone down when on the bottom and yes it's all about using the rules to your advantage to bootscoot and make the other guy take penalties for not engaging But the right path on top should be to yes disengage (getting rid of hooks and grips) but re-engaging...
