It's actually illegal to sit guard and butt scoot at someone in gi jiu jitsu. You have to establish grips first, and then you can pull guard. BJJ is derived from Judo, so the old school guys would always start standing and try doing judo first. But if you're evenly matched with someone, getting a takedown can be hard, and the art revolves around getting a submission, which realistically only happens once you're grounded. So a big innovation in the BJJ ruleset was allowing the guard pull as a 0 point technique instead of treating it like a penalty or just reseting. In modern jiu jitsu, it's not uncommon for two players who prefer guard to race to the floor and play double guard. The old school guys hated this development. There was this unspoken rule that one guy passes and one guy plays guard. But the wrestlers keep standing up out of guard and trying to wrestle, and the guard guys keep sitting down and entangle legs. It's the sport evolving. In the training room, if you have two guard players, they will often start seated. It just goes against tradition and competition rules.

@@djdoobwah24 That explains a lot, thank you. I suppose no combat sport is perfect. I do not doubt the effectiveness of BJJ as a fighting style, but it still looks strange to me as a competitor seemingly cooperates to go into guard. But at least now I know why that person does it.

@normandy1140 Oh yeah, watching two guys race to sit down and then roll onto their own shoulders upside down looks less like a fight than almost anything else I can imagine. I started out at an mma club. I got older, and I got tired of getting hit in the head. Now I practice jiu jitsu because it's fun to me. But it's a weird martial art. No striking at all. Takedowns are essentially optional. Now, if you learn jiu jitsu and then round it out with wrestling or judo or boxing or muay thai, now you're a real problem for people. A lot of top UFC fighters are also BJJ black belts, even if you never see them use jiu jitsu. It's the foundational traditional martial art of the UFC, and it compliments any other martial art you want to practice really well.

Based off the thumbnail i really did think it was Dr Mike lol

@@stoopyslicklive195 I mean they do call Jiu-Jitsu black belt instructors Professor 🤷

@@AlkaRez they’re both monsters on the mat! Fellipe is a world champ but Mike is definitely no slouch!

Thanks for the view! Everybody has a different body, so it would be foolish not to use our natural gifts/abilities to our advantage. It's all a part of developing our individual games. 🙌

Thank you!
