Where i train we can do either, usually more experienced people/judo backgroung want to start on foot.
>give -2 points for guard pulling in competitions
Difficult, you can just mask it as a failed attack.
>Legalize slams
Yeah keeping the closed guard when the guy is standing it's retarded

Anonymous at Sun, 25 Feb 2024 20:11:39 UTC No. 188321

basically yeah

also heel hooks are harder to finish with a gi, not easier. The ban because of "muh friction" shows the people making the rules have no idea what they're saying
the gi allows you to grab on to something to keep your leg secure and prevent their extension
royler proved this against eddie in their rematch when he saved himself from the leglock by grabbing eddies pants

Theoretically useful for self-defense and MMA, useless for sport BJJ, that's why people train the way they do
>>start sparring on foot rather than on knees
Partly the above, partly space constraints. My gym for example is pretty small so when a full class turns up, there tends to not be enough space for standing start unless you want to throw your partner right on top of someone else
>>give -2 points for guard pulling in competitions
Agreed
>>Legalize slams for brown and black belts. And if you're scared to do it, instead ban jumping guard.
Slams are legitimately dangerous, so I wouldn't legalize them, but there needs to be some sort of a major reward for being able to lift your opponent up to a standing position. Pulling guard is gay so I agree with you there
>>legalize heel hooks for brown and black belts in gi, just like you did in no gi
Yeah, IBJJF is just extremely gay, that much it has in common with most other "governing bodies". Luckily there are better orgs out there

You’re fucking retarded. Not needed it will not make gi JJ more entertaining / impact gi BJJ positively. The amount of force you can put on a heel hook is ridiculous if both guys are wearing gi pants and if your in a honey hole / saddle position in the pants there’s virtually no escaping. Knees will be blown out constantly. Stupid, leave heel hooks in the NoGi where guys at least have a chance to defend it.

> guard pulling is part of the sport deal
With it faggot. Learn to pass guard.

Throw on a gi and have someone heel hook you. Try and escape muh friction is real. And even counter grips won’t stop someone from rotating their upper bodies violently with your leg extended and heel caught. People finish straight ankle locks with counter grips applied and it does nothing.

I get what your saying but it isn’t lubricantion it’s a matter of freeing the knee line which is nearly impossible in the gi and is the most viable heel hook escape.

It stands to reason though that the escapes developed due to the nogi nature

I don’t know man heel hooks have been around a long time and there really isn’t that many options in terms of escaping especially in gi. It all comes down to freeing the knee line.
There’s a reason every major gi federation has it banned. Some moves
do deserve being on the banned list due to how dangerous they are. I truly think it’s unnecessary in the gi

BJJ is already more of a "middle class" sport that encourages softer people to join due to its simple to approach nature, only thing that keeps it from being super gay is the high skill ceiling.
Combat BJJ is where you can actually learn how to apply yourself in actual grounded situations and its highly respectable, younger more ambitious people prefer judo.

If BJJ just rounded itself by starting on the feet and allowing striking before the drop to floor phase you would basically have the most well rounded ground sport.
(i would also say no GI reliance would make for a more applicable sport cause not everyone is wearing the perfect pullable and meta clothes in most situations)

You could apply the same retarded logic to any martial art

>let's fix wrestling because there's no submissions
There is no "complete" martial art, they all have strengths and weakness that come from the rulesets. You can train however you want, or just do MMA (which also has rules lol)
Is this obsession with "real" combat an anime thing or something?

It wouldn't be boxing anymore but if you added backfists instead, it would still be boxing. Same with anything else. Same wiith any other sport. We should only legalize moves that don't radically change the nature of the sport.

Maybe on the Internet, but many if not most Jiu-Jitieros IRL are very open about cross-training in other grappling styles as well as stand-up. I'm a judoka and currently do Muay Thai; the BJJ guys who show up at my gym openly acknowledge that their takedowns need work and even recognize that much of BJJ stemmed from old school judo. BJJ is judo and catch wrestling that was built specifically for one-one-one Vale Tudo that emphasizes ground techniques.

>>193560
Ever deal with the newbie that shows up wearing Tapout gear and thinking that judo and wrestling will automatically submit to BJJ? I remember this 1 cocky asshole who got humbled big time when the Marine veteran who wrestled in college and was a judo brown belt used a modified kata gatame to smother him.

Practically all grappling styles are honest; you can't bullshit your way out of drills and practice. You can't learn to do proper leverage, technique, set-ups without being thrown and how to roll on the ground against a partner whose doing their damndedst to do the same to you.

The only thing I dislike about certain elements within BJJ is the pit boys; thugs who use their skills and attack in packs over machoism. BJJ actually had a VERY bad reputation because of fights like this at clubs; judo was seen as classier and held in higher regard.

I do respect how BJJ constantly pressure-tested itself in challenge matches and Vale Tudo, but on the other hand, that kind of dojo-storming gives martial arts a really bad rep. I hate McDojos and black belt factories with a passion, but that kind of behavior doesn't fly outside of Brazil. Even the Gracie brothers were guilty of this when they ambushed and ganged up on Rufino Dos Santos. Or ghow Gracie propaganda videos try to always market "GRACIE JIU-JITSU OWNING JUDO, WRESTLING, SAMBO!" when most of those instances are invites to compete or train together.

You remind me of that 1 time when Robin Gracie got challenged in a seminar by Damien Riccio. It's alright when the Gracies dish it, but they can't take it.

I still have a lot of respect for all the pioneers and innovators of BJJ (which include Japanese that Gracie propaganda doesn't want to acknowledge like Geo Omori, Takeo Yano, the Ono brothers, etc.), but Gracie challenge matches kinda ruin their brand. I mean, it's a great marketing tool but do that in civilized nations with actual court structure and lawsuits, it's a seriously bad idea.

I agree and I say this as someone who dabbled in Sambo because I lived nearby a heavily Russian area (judoka here).

Leglocks are the last submissions that people should learn and practice. It'll develop bad habits without learning guardwork, sweeps, rolls, control of positions.

The first submission that someone should learn is armlocks. Then chokes. Finally leglocks. All in that order, but you have to really master armlocks and chokes first because you'll have a good grasp on how to fight on top as well as on your back.

I don't like slams. In self-defense and street fights, I'd advocate that but not in competitive sport.

And you can't butt-scoot. You have to initiate some kind of action to engage instead of passively waiting for the other guy to come. Within 30 seconds of being on your back while the other is on their feet, you either get back into standing position, or you try to attack the opponent's legs.

Anonymous at Fri, 3 May 2024 21:48:11 UTC No. 196356

Too many changes at once. They need to make butt scooting bad in some way and then see what shakes out. That's the biggest thing making the sport a joke.
Imo you should get a point deduction if you go to ground without maintaining control of the opponent.

That's what Combat Jiu-Jitsu addresses by permitting open palm strikes when they're on the ground to open up opportunities. Early Pancrase prohibited closed fist strikes, but they permitted open palm blows when standing or on the ground. Look at Frank Shamrock vs. Bas Rutten; Bas was palm striking the shit out of Frank.

At this point, what you and >>199494 are advocating is basically Vale Tudo and MMA. Combat Sambo allows strikes and groundfighting which I really like. In self-defense training, BJJ addresses this but not the schools that only focus on competition.

You will never make BJJ complete because you can only spend so much time training. Jiu-Jitieros are wizards on the ground because they spend 90% doing all kinds of rolls and scrambles there. You react to how you train. Judoka throw and can ukemi because that's primarily their bread-and-butter as well as some ground action. Sambists are killer leglockers as well as doing wrestling slams because that's their specialty.

Even in MMA, you rarely find a guy whose 100% effective in both the striking and grappling aspects. Everybody has natural biases and inclinations to what they want to do as well what their body type favors.

If we want to see the ideal submission grappling format, we already have ADCC even if it's heavily in favor of BJJ.

If they just banned pulling guard and instead forced the practitioners to take each other down, then the art would be fixed. Its literally that easy.
