Garry Tonon was scissoring like nobody's business at polaris - so I assume it's still legal in certain competitions.
But - I have better insight into the dangers now.
Lauzon did it a bunch of times in MMA.
Danaher also said recently he doesn't teach it anymore because he's seen too much catastrophic injuries because of it.
I've drilled it a number of times, in judo and in nogi. Even when I did, I saw people reacting very weirdly to it, so I don't look for it in sparring. It can go wrong too easily for me.
