Usually the way it goes is when the round starts, one partner will stand up to start passing and the other will respond by laying back to playing guard. Most guys follow a rule of thumb my professor has that if his opponent doesn't start to try to pass within three seconds, he will. So you rarely see stalemating/patty-cake on the knees.

I've also noticed that the higher ranking belt in rolls will often start a roll by immediately laying back to play guard and to let the lower ranked guys try to work their passes (though eventually it's also pretty much inevitable that mid-roll the the higher belts to transition to a passing/top game) .

I am not a huge fan of starting from knees and wish we would do more from standing, but my understanding is that it's mostly related to having a lot of guys in a small space.

My favorite type of rolling is actually situational sparring - for example we're working on back attacks this week so our professor is having us roll from that position - guy on the back is working to submit, or transition to mount, guy with his back taken is trying to escape and get to his knees facing. Any of those end-points result in a reset to the starting position. I like that approach as it really helps me dig in on certain positions, and also giving me the chance to work what we've been going over within defined parameters that help me keep focused on internalizing those techniques.

This post is where its at. My old gyms almost never did situational sparring. But those few times I did do I still remember the lessons like 10 years later.

And yeah midget wrestling sucks. I consider it a bit rude to stand up right away, but once engagement has been made its fair game imo. BJJ should focus on more standup generally as an art, its a big downside.

Positional sparring rules. My gym usually does ~30 minutes of it after drilling, starting in whatever position the move(s) of the day were from. It's good for getting a feel for novel positions even if your entries for it suck, and when the hell else are you going to experience the fleeting joy of having an upper belt in mount or back mount?

On the subject of standing up immediately, is it "bad form" in ya'lls opinion to just technical stand up against people who refuse to engage your guard and just attempt to agility pass when generally one person starts open guard and the other starts standing/combat base?

That's what you should do. They want to play the stand-up game without any of the stand-up consequences. Besides the fact that one of the most basic principles of top control is "don't let your opponent stand up."

It’ll probably get buried because Danaher is releasing stuff right now but the new Lachlan Giles DVD on guillotines/darces/north south chokes/etc is really good. You can tell that he’s watched a lot of DVDs because everything is really concise and well-structured with rewatchability in mind.

A subset of submissions that rely on compressing the diaphragm. You cant breathe if you cant expand your chest. For more see josh barnett submit dean lister with the fat man choke.

one of my favorite youtube videos of all time is this (honestly pretty good) breakdown of the barnett/lister scrap. it has this incredibly cheesy 'epic movie trailer' music going on in the background as barnett lays on lister fatly in a speedo

It took me awhile to tap because I was trying to figure out how I was getting choked when he wasn't even touching my neck. Like my body was going "tap you idiot" and my mind was going "hold on something ain't right here"

Yeah I've got kinda half one. I can tap white belts only with it though, and after I tell them to not tap to pressure.

I basically just do s-mount but kinda angle my hip/butt to sit right in the middle of their chest, usually pulling on the back of their head. How do you do yours?



This is not really related, but when I was a white a big purple who taught the class would submit me by opening his gi, pushing his bare chest into my face then closing the gi around my head. From mount of course, and he had a heavy mount.

An upper belt in my gym does it a lot and I had him teach me it and now I catch a decent amount of people with it, it's hilarious. He's stocky so I thought it might be a big man power move but you can get it on anyone around your weight or lower.

Yep! Although I put a leg under their head and grab it (making sort of a lovely triangle) to pull on the back of their head.

It's great!

That's the problem with wristlocks, they don't work (90+% of the time), until they do work (which results in an injury)!

drat that sucks. Are you getting an xray or MRI on it?

Also re diaphragm chokes, I have a positional asphyxia choke in my arsenal. There is no direct pressure on neck or mouth or even belly. The position forces the person into a compressed cradle where they can no longer expand their chest to breathe. It just feels uncomfortable at first until they realize they can't inhale. It's been years and years since I learned or used it.

People are weird about wristlocks, both giving and receiving. I suspect their reputation of being "dirty" or "prison rules" moves leads to a filter on the sort of person who hunts for them. They're also way more likely to provoke a non-standard verbal tap like "owowow" or just "ok" for some reason, even when applied slowly and deliberately.
