Slamming is generally not allowed in tournaments. You can take down,
The entire point of BJJ is technique and skill, not force.
It's the gentle art. Do you think that includes slamming someone on their head?
The point of competition is to display skill, not force.
What you're saying is ludicrous. Honestly. My ego totally detached -- what you're saying is absurd and an indication that you don't know anything about jiu jitsu on a cultural and theoretical level, even if you've dabbled in some arm locks.
Your repeated bragging about your experience in grappling is a good indication of your ego in overdrive.
Your entire vibe is off for BJJ. You are a force guy and you don't like a limitation of force. That was a nice way of saying you're a douchebag.
The rules aren't logical for real fights? Yeah. That's the point. It's a specific skill that's being acquired (and really, a skill within the skill of grappling). That's why mixed martial art athletes train in bjj, boxing, wrestling, kickbocking ect and then walk into octagons to incorporate all their learned skills.

What's the difference, and why? All takedowns are dangerous, anyone can brace themselves with a hand and get their arm broken.

Slamming is a demonstration of skill and force together, if you don't think so I'd love to watch you go into a Greco-Roman tournament and say what they do isn't skilful.

Judo does it all the time, the child of jiujitsu. Judo, also, means ''The Gentle Way'' and is almost comprised of nothing but slams and throws with people ending up on their head, although they actually teach you how NOT to fall on your head.

There are tons of movements that can be used for brute force that work, and are often combined with skill for them to work.

What I said:
Which is why when you compete, you should try to emulate what you can encounter in the real world while trying to remain loyal to the style.
What you ignored, now twice.
I get it, I told you I've been grappling a long time, I know jiujitsu and I understand the dangers of it (you ignored all of the technicalities that I addressed).
************************I understand with kneebars/heelhooks/picks, bicep slicers and neck cranks because the difference between pressure and breaking is just too little.************************
In conclusion, you should read someone's posts before going off on your little fairy armchair psychologist rants. Even the last thing you said, I deliberately put ''While remaining loyal to the style''.
Poor kid.
