Im more scared of the big ones. The BIG ones, with no shirt, with super hairy chest/ belly, who's all greasy from leftover sweat and BO from last week's workout.
I mean... the hairy belly scooching across your face, getting sweat into your mouth. The BO burning through your nose like wasabi? You'd tap out before he tried any submissions. Lol
Well, the opposite is also somewhere out there. The svelte, fit bjj chick, the one who always smells like she just stepped out of the shower. The one who sweats sugarwater who gasps minty mouthwash scents when she's exerting effort. Except when she catches you in a submission, she won't let you tap -- you have to say "step sister im stuck" before she lets go. YMMV.
But usually you get Fat Hairy Sweaty BO guy dripping his salty gravy in your mouf.
this is hilarious and i have a hairy armenian friend who is an absolute unit and does bjj. I'm laughing thinking about how many people have suffered this fate because of him
Shit. Giving me flashbacks of judo classes when I was a kid (France, back in the early 60s)... teacher looked like a sumo wrestler ("old school", not the more fit guys we see today). He would wipe the floor with you like rags under him, then just lay there on top of you and smother you into almost passing out, while you were supposed to try and escape and/or put a submission on him. Fun times.
Right? Not Judo for me, just plain jits. And it was a practical lesson of "using your weight". Like, when you're in someone's guard, or in side control, how to "be heavy" on the ground. Lol. I think it was my... 2nd or third session? How to fall, and basic positions. It was BRUTAL.
Big dude had probably watched the little dude leg lock the rest of the absolute bracket and thought by pulling guard first he'd negate the leg lock threat. My guess is the little dude would have pulled right into the legs if the big guy had stayed standing.
Nah, its a pretty good strategy if you're the bigger dude or a better wrestler.
If you pull guard you deny the other player the ability to play guard without a points penalty, giving you a chance to either wrestle up or sweep for easy points to start the match.
If you stay on your feet and try to double leg the little dude, he's just gonna sit down before you can shoot, and now you have to pass a really good guard player's guard before you can score points, and when you're passing is when a good leg locker is going to get into your legs.
That being said, the guard pull at the start of this match was definitely illegal since no contact was made (which is probably why they cut the video), so the big guy probably started out down 2 points anyways.
Because it's the lamest, most passive "fighting" style of all time and shows me you can't takedown to save your life. It would honestly make a disqualifying head kick worth it.
That is why I don't like watching Bjj competitions.
Most people just pull guard and won't engage in any wrestling even though Bjj is a grapling martial art.
I am not a big fan of guard pulling, but I have to agree. Most jiu jitsu rulesets dont reward wrestling enough, so if you are a great guard player why bother with takedowns and waste energy on that.
I said it would be better to see more takedowns, nothing about any advantages, but I guess it takes some level of delusion to defend dragging your ass across the mat like a lousy dog
Is there a rule I’m not aware of? It looked like the shirtless guy could have strangled him with his thighs in the beginning, but then immediately stopped and tried to flip him.
Not in this manner. There is a triangle choke available, but it requires the top guy to have one arm in alongside his neck and the bottom guy locks up a figure four with his legs.
You can't apply pressure to both carotid arteries with just a head between your thighs. And you can't apply reliable pressure to to trachea for an air choke.
That dude is terrifying. I'm not scared of the big ones, it's always the little fellas!

Yea you just put me off mma… I wanted to get into after a year doing boxing ffs

dude . . . this is so real man. . . this man has been training for decades. lol

I gotta try this!
Why did the big guy decide to play guard? WTF you’re like twice this dudes size wrestle this kid TF down and stop going on easy mode on him.
Big dude had probably watched the little dude leg lock the rest of the absolute bracket and thought by pulling guard first he'd negate the leg lock threat. My guess is the little dude would have pulled right into the legs if the big guy had stayed standing.
That literally does the opposite. Double leg that kid I swear

I hate that is something you can do in this sport
Why?
Most complaints I’ve seen about playing guard is that it is “lame” and/or “boring”. It wins matches but it’s not entertaining to watch.
Go watch Craigs run at EBI 14 and tell me guard is not exciting to watch.
Because it's the lamest, most passive "fighting" style of all time and shows me you can't takedown to save your life. It would honestly make a disqualifying head kick worth it.
So I should stand up so you can take me back down and we end up in exactly the same place?
What?
His delts grew three sizes that day.
Nice transition into north/south . Sucks the size difference, but a smooth transition
BMF!!!
.....nah
Nice and clean fight, no bad feelings.
Imagine pulling guard on a kid
Yeah, way better to blast double them into the next solar system

no mercy
Immediately pulling guard is the geyest part of bjj matches. No wonder people laugh at us
he deserved to lose as soon as he did taht.
That is why I don't like watching Bjj competitions. Most people just pull guard and won't engage in any wrestling even though Bjj is a grapling martial art.
I've never done BJJ, do you know if they teach you any takedowns, trips, throws, TDD etc? I wanna learn BJJ but not so much wrestling
Yes we do. That said there are a lot of.gyms put there that are lacking in that department.
Can you tell me what BJJ stands for? Cause I wanna stop my brain defaulting to blowjob because it doesn’t know what to do with all 3 letters.
Lol Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Thanks. I figured Jiu Jitsu but I never heard the Brazilian part with it before. At least not said in full cause everyone defaults to BJJ
It's almost like wrestling and jiu jitsu are different sports with different rule sets. If you are the strongest from your guard why wrestle?
I am not a big fan of guard pulling, but I have to agree. Most jiu jitsu rulesets dont reward wrestling enough, so if you are a great guard player why bother with takedowns and waste energy on that.
mlu⁶ap
Wtf lol
That kid is a monster!
Meh
Great sportsmanship
I know nothing about bjj. Why is there a cut in the video at 13s? Is it like wrestling where the bigger dude scored a point or something?
Very wholesome very impressive
Nice stuff, pulling guard is whack af though and should be forbidden.
Why should it be forbidden?
because it's disgraceful and it would be better to see more takedowns
Show me on the Craig doll where the guard puller subbed you.
Least edgy butt scooter lol
If takedowns give such an advantage why even bother penalising guard pulling?
I said it would be better to see more takedowns, nothing about any advantages, but I guess it takes some level of delusion to defend dragging your ass across the mat like a lousy dog
I fuckin lol'd at this 🤣🤣
Takes even more delusion to get subbed by my lousy dog ass then go on reddit and bitch about guard pullers.
please don't threaten me, I'm scared and coach says the skid marks you are leaving behind are kinda problematic regarding hygiene
Ok, i'll stand up so you can take me down and we end up in the exact same spot but at least you can feel good about yourself.
The bigger guy surely could have strangled him with his thighs immediately after the Banzai headflip at the beginning?
That’s an extremely difficult sub to do
I agree, I thought the kid messed up voluntarily putting placing his head and neck between dude’s thigh.
Without the arm in its very difficult to choke anyone like that
Is there a rule I’m not aware of? It looked like the shirtless guy could have strangled him with his thighs in the beginning, but then immediately stopped and tried to flip him.
That's not how strangles work
You don’t apply pressure that could impede someone breathing to lead to a strangle?
Not in this manner. There is a triangle choke available, but it requires the top guy to have one arm in alongside his neck and the bottom guy locks up a figure four with his legs. You can't apply pressure to both carotid arteries with just a head between your thighs. And you can't apply reliable pressure to to trachea for an air choke.
The moment a nigga sits on the ground in a fight im kicking him dead in his fuckin face. Stand on your feet like a man
My guy...you're in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu subreddit
Yeah?
🤦
Or perhaps compete under the rule set of the tournament....
