Who considers them 'cheap'?

It can be annoying and counterproductive when people don't have them set up properly and just try to yank on your lapels until their arms fall off, but setup and used properly they're no more cheap than any other gi specific technique.

Uhh I'm pretty sure suplexing someone on their head/neck was already very illegal in IBJJF, unless they're saying you can't suplex yourself on your head/neck

I think this is exactly what it is. In judo you can't do any technique that make you fall on your head because people hurt themselves.

You can't dive directly onto your head when attempting a throw. Suplexes or anything else going backwards are fine.

In regards to the head diving rule, I once won a match by default when a guy did a head dive and tore some ligaments in his neck. He tried an uchimata, I hipped in and stopped him, he tried to dive down to give him an extra push and hurt himself. It is freaky when a guy is screaming in pain, immobilized and carried out to an ambulance in a stretcher. I saw him at another tournament a couple weeks later in a neck brace, which is how I found out what the injury ended up being.

Thanks for the precision, I thought it was banned without regards to direction. So you can supplex backward to your own head like you're doing a "bridge"?

One of my buddy lost a match the exact same way your opponent did except he didn't injure himself. Uchi mata seems to be one of the moves where it happens "often"

You can't bridge to avoid getting scored on, but you can definitely suplex. With the rules of Judo there's no incentive to bridge during a suplex vs landing on your shoulders, the incentive is to twist to the side and land your opponent flat on his shoulders/back while you land to the side. But there are other sacrifice throws, like Tawara Gaeshi, where you would be more likely to land in a bridge position and they have always been legal.

Cool thanks. I would have thought that even in something like a tawara gaeshi you would not be allowed to bridge straight to your head. Not that this move is really useful with the new rules anyway, but still good to know.

All references to bridging in the IJF rulebook talk about the Uke, saying that any bridge, or attempt to bridge, to avoid being scored upon should result in an Ippon being awarded to Tori. Which is a rule I'm fine with - it is purely a safety thing and anyone doing it has already been thrown and is just trying to use a technicality to avoid a score. There's nothing in the rules about Tori bridging during a throw.

I know the rules regarding the uke bridging and they 200% make sense and even if there was no "safety" issue it would still make sense to make it illegal since you've been thrown on you back even if you back does not hit the mat.

I just thought that if as tori you throw someone doing a big enough bridge that your head hits the mat you'd be punished in the same way as you are if you throw yourself on your head doing an uchi mata. I also agree with this rule by the way, but I'm happy if it does not apply to some of the backwards "bear hug" throws.

Don't just give up on guard retention and resign yourself to playing defense from the bottom of side control. Start by identifying the pass he's using, then figure out how use it to your advantage. Standard guardplay rules apply: Control the hands, control the distance, don't be afraid to post behind you and/or scoot back if he's crowding you, have a plan in mind so you're not just sitting there hoping he'll present you with something, and a backup plan in case he derails your first attack.

That's a great point too. I find when I'm being aggressive I'm starting to try to string stuff together and almost have a sort of plan ( well, only one step forward ), but when I'm on the defensive I end up purely reacting to what the other guy is doing instead of using the same mental process. Thanks for the advice!

RE: Lapel chokes being "cheap" - I'm not referring to lapel chokes in general - that is, any choke involving them, I'm talking specifically the double-hand when you're in my guard lapel choke. If I lock a lapel choke with someone in my guard it just feels unsatisfying to get a tap that way because it "shouldn't" work except to distract/annoy. And it almost never works, I guess I just feel like I should be trying something more...involved - but I suppose that's a dumb attitude. It doesn't matter how I get it, if I can catch someone in anything then that's good - it doesn't have to be complicated.

The only rules about a Tori going backwards related to safety is the they can't pick somebody up with a Kata Garuma or similar technique and then just fall straight backwards, or entwine a leg from behind and then fall backwards, and both of those are about safety for the Uke, not the Tori.

A really properly applied lapel choke is a thing of beauty, because it doesn't hurt or really feel all that uncomfortable so you think you're fine, but then suddenly you start to feel fuzzy and everything starts to go black and you realize you need to tap.

I've always thought they were a really underutilised part of the submission game early on and from what I've seen a lot of schools don't start teaching them till you've been a whitebelt for a long while or have got your blue. At my gym the coach used to drill them into the heavier dudes because sometimes it was hard for guys to get triangles on other heavyweights but really easy to get a lapel choke from side or north south, I've seen a couple of our heavy weights run through the early stages of a tournament just by getting to side control off a good double leg and then hunting for the lapels.

You're probably one of the only people who would get choked in a match by having their shoes tied together or their pants pulled down. ITs not the same for 99% of people

The prelims have a few matches between highly ranked high school wrestlers and the undercard is some less well known, but highly ranked, guys trying to make the Olympic team for 2016.

I think they tried that but settled on using Freestyle, at least for tonight. It definitely isn't a polished production but the matches have been pretty good and the production values aren't terrible. Worth the $5 for the stream at least.

So we both weighed ourselves and I'm still 205 - he's 250. He has 45lbs on me not 30. Also, he started BJJ the same time as me but had 2 years previous experience wrestling.

I shouldn't use that as an excuse but I feel SO MUCH BETTER now that I struggle to stay alive against this dude.

The upshot is that by being more "busy" trying stuff it was less immensely in his favour - excepting when he'd just take me down and go straight into side control in like 5 seconds.
