You're really threatened and upset right now. This is one of the greatest examples of projection I've ever witnessed.
It's no big thing to not know everything. It's just a thread online, dude.
It's okay to discuss and learn things without getting so upset to the point you start making comments that I'm sure you'd regret under better judgment and lose your ability to read comprehensively.
-The only passer-by in this thread agreed with me and noted your inability to comprehend.
-I shared a link from an mma forum were all the posters agreed with me and it wasn't even a debate, it was more people laughing off the position you took in the OP.
You are a legit mess.

And when pressed for content was inability to produce.

His objection is much more simplified because he actually doesn't know grappling -- to which I do. So my question still stands: Why is getting dropped on your head by an uchi mata any different than getting dropped on your head by a wrestling spike?
Also, a black-belt responded in the same thread and sort of agreed with you, while dismantling the position altogether.
quote:-- Which was my position from the very beginning.
anyone can do it, you only really see it in the white belt division, because by blue belt people will get the right angle on the triangle to break the persons posture and hook the leg if the guy tries to lift them.
Don't like being slammed? Learn to defend against slams, because it's literally the first thing someone untrained in any form of grappling (or a traditional wrestler) does.
I just disagree with the premise, it's a legitimate technique and should be worked into BJJ competition as it is absolutely a takedown and works in breaking a triangle.
Change the rule: If someone can lift your head above their knee, stand them up again.
It reminds me of when the Brazilians didn't want anyone to do leglocks anywhere at any level at any time because they thought it was too progressive.
''Leglocks in Brazilian jiu-jitsu are a relatively new phenomenon. It wasn’t that long ago that a person could get booed off the mats for submitting their opponent via leglock in a BJJ tournament. ''
So just to sum this up because I'm going to be brutally misrepresented as you tilt at your windmills:
My point, TL;DR: I think slamming is a part of the combat sport, just like all of the Judo throws that put you on your head. To keep people safe, they should make it so that when you lift someone above your knee during a submission they're stood up again.
Thanks for getting back on topic.
