Why do black belts want to start on the ground? No fight ever in existence starts on the ground, and if you're bringing up the "93% of street fights end up on the ground" statistic, that's not for regular fights, just for law enforcement.
Unless you're training by having a group of people surprise attack you with real knives, you're compromising SOME realism for safety. He's just making more compromises by eliminating the dangers of stand-up grappling with a white belt. Everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum between safe and realistic.
I think it’s less about me being a white belt and more that he has zero wrestling/judo experience at all. So gi or no gi, he is better off sitting guard.
Also this is not a streetfight, I refuse to pull guard though. I see it as pointless, you can only get away with it in jiu jitzu and to be fair he is not one of the black belts who competes often. There are definitely levels to it.
