Your priorities in class -

1) Don't hurt your partner
2) Don't hurt yourself
3) Learn

Your priorities in a tournament -

1) Don't hurt yourself
2) Win
3) Don't hurt your opponent, if you can help it.

Keep both of those lists very firmly in mind.

Thanks. I got it December of last year, if you search my posts in this thread I think I had a picture or two.

sweep your opponent onto the concrete, onto the timekeeper's table, or into the ref. It's a tournament. You don't know this person and you have no reason to suspect they won't do the same to you.

Winning an ameteur competition for my hobby is always a higher priority than preventing injury of other people who do my hobby.

I admit IBJJF tournament rules are a byzantine mystery to me


But if you swept a guy onto concrete would you really not get penalized or DQ'd for it? The ref would just reset you?

When the goal of the competition is to "kill" your opponent, yes.

The ref has already hosed up by not resetting you by that point (or the tournament sucks by not having enough mat space), but no, it would not be a penalty unless it was deemed you did something maliciously. Like, if you pick a guy up in a fireman's carry, walk over to the scorer's table, and dump your opponent on it, that's not good, and it's why there's usually a catch-all "unsportsmanlike conduct" rule for competitions.

Well, at least now it's over.
Don't forget about the intimidation factor too. Some people make sure (in tournaments) to finish every takedown and land in top position, whether or not they'll stay in bounds or get points for it, because it sends a nonverbal message to the opponent like "I will stop at nothing to win this." Not to mention that being taken down out of bounds can really spike an person's adrenaline and mess with their rhythm/composure after the reset.

I'm in favor of maintaining control, I think that's where I draw the line. Don't exhaust yourself hulking out and trying to throw your opponent into the stands, but also don't give up on a good controlled attack just because you're not going to get the points for it.

Randy Orton would be a menace in BJJ comps. How many points is an RKO through the timekeepers table? Has to be at least worth 6 points if you end up rolling onto their back.

My opponent is trying to do their best to choke or armlock me, and quite probably doing their best to throw me onto concrete or into a table themselves. If you have the opportunity for a sweep, go for that sweep. If the opponent lands on the concrete, it's the fault of them and the referee, whose job it is to dictate whether or not the contestants need to be positionally reset.

Also, when you've been training for a month, and multiple people who have been training for years/decades disagree with you, and the only person who agrees with you has also only been training a month, you might consider that your considered moral position comes from a position of ignorance and should probably be soft-peddled till you've actually found yourself in a remotely analogous situation.

Lots of words that don't mean anything. If you're intentionally hurting someone, you're a thug.

If my opponent is worrying about armbarring me and I'm worrying about not sweeping him off the mat I'm going to get my loving arm broken. That is why you have referees. Competition is intense and trying to protect your opponent will get YOU hurt.

Yeah, actually you have done combat sports because you've started doing BJJ. BJJ is a combat sport. You are literally being taught extremely precise ways to break people's arms and choke them unconscious. Maybe you need to rethink your involvement in this particular combat sport if you feel morally against the basic premise of the sport.
