Jumping guard is one of the most bitch moves in grappling change my mind

That should be posted on the wall of every gym.

The last clip at the end was hilarious!!! - Taking a results oriented approach may take the fun out of it, so it's cool you stuck to your game. The ability to sweep him so many times was a good takeaway. - Good match!

I find anything done by Steve Carell to be hilarious. I am a huge Office fan. I'm also a fan of winning, so I HAVE adopted a more "points-friendly" approach to tournaments so I don't just give buckets of points to my opponent. They gotta earn 'em!

Great match. Couple missed opportunities, but I love your kill or be killed mentality! I'd rather lose an exciting match, than win a boring one as well.

That is usually the fun part for me. I remember finding that Office clip at the end and chuckling the whole time I worked with it! Thanks for chuckling along!

Man that was a great roll. Andrew is a beast and you guys both looked awesome. I love the hunt for the finish mentality!

Yes - Andrew definitely hit beast level somewhere along the way 💪

Points need to go away, all BJJ tournaments should be submission only.

I agree. Submissions are what make jiu jitsu fun for me - either figuring out how I got caught, or (better yet) finding my own. There are more and more sub-only tournaments popping up, so I hope that trend continues.🤞

Despite being down on points it looked to me like you did a good job in the match. A little bit of laziness dropping back to guard, but we've all been there (tired and the lure of guard is seductive). Great match, you should still feel proud.

Thanks. Yeah,not my proudest moment, but clearly a product of how I usually roll!

Just found your channel..subbed..

You've got some interesting instincts. Normally, when myself or people I train with are tired, we fight like crazy to get to top position so we can rest. You were tired and kept going to guard with a good 'top-control' opponent. It seems crazy to me but I enjoyed watching it.

It IS crazy. I like your instincts better, and even years after this match, I’m still trying to get over my old habits of accepting bottom positions.

Great vid and commentary. Beautiful effort

Position over submission. And position wins points.

Yes it does. I am too much like a kid in a submission store, I guess. I have started doing rounds of points sparring (at least in my mind) before I compete in a points tournament. I'm trying to care!

It wasn't bad. With more forward momentum, it becomes a dangerous move. Look up jumping guard injuries if you want to get sick.

jumping guard = slam and take the loss

Hahaha! If there were more rebels like you, there would be less guard pulling!

Points guy here- I'm a white belt and was in the same situation with a blue belt. I managed to take his back and spammed backmount points. He got out of the hold but time was running and tried to do an americana from side control I grabbed his collar and didn't care and won. He was very irritated. Despite that I must build confidence for submissions though

If you can hit back mount on a blue belt, you are 90% of the way to being a sub guy! Earning points in competition is great, though. Keep scoring those points and winning matches!

i don't either. i just want to smash and not get smeshed

I have the same problem. As far as, I'm waaaaay too willing to just play from guard..

@Roll_Vids

Yes. We should snap that habit! I've tried to avoid "settling" in training, because it seems to carry over into competition, and honestly, it's a little embarrassing to watch!

How do you manage the nervousness and butter flys in the stomach of competing? I stop competing because of this. I just remember on the third competition i felt like throwing up before they called me out to the mat. I just hate that awful feeling. Any suggestion on how to over come that feeling a week before competing and when your actually waiting in line before the match?

But, if you wanted a sub why didn't you fight to be on top instead of playing guard?

@Roll_Vids

That is a great question. For some reason, I felt like I had a good chance to sub him from the guard. I would have been much better off to work into dominant positions and see what opened up.

im the same way f the points

.okay. Your a fighter that wants consensual intercourse. Your a fighter. People get hurt

🤦‍♂️

Being a casual/hobbyist is fine. Hobbyists keep the gym lights on. But telling competitors not to jump guard in competition because of the hazard of injury is just ridiculous. And wanting to go for submissions is admirable, but giving up dominant positions to do so isn't smart (points or not), and isn't conducive to more 'fun' jiujitsu as you would seem to think. There's nothing fun about watching two people literally voluntarily rolling over onto their back with no real submission threat.
