If I posted this thread on a BJJ site you'd be laughed at.

Here's a thread in which the community rips apart what you're saying. LINK

You seem to be a really awful conversationalist with some legitimate ego problems, which is usually under more control by someone who's practiced the art.

I think you wanted to let everyone know you grapple and are tough and all that and you didn't expect someone to dismantle your points like I did.

It would at least been respectable if you tapped out. Any objective third person who know's BJJ reading our back n forth would laugh at you and side with me.

Good luck to you.

Dude, stop trying to psychologically analyze me, lol. You're way off base.

There are also legitimate BJJ guys on Youtube who say the same thing I do -- slams are a part of the sport, and should be permitted if you're going to pull flying guards. It's just an opinion -- it would be better to counter it with an actual argument, rather than just refer back to your perception.

An example of actually making an argument would be: Takedowns (slams) are permitted, except in a single case -- flying guard pulls.

Why is it technically unsound? Because someone can just slam you on your head. What should a martial art do when it has a technically unsound technique? My answer is ban it, your answer is continue to use it.

That's why you're not following the conversation.

That's why when I say I understand the rules for leg locks, bicep slicers and neck cranks -- because there's legitimately very few ways to resist without breaking -- but say that you can do the same for slams from a flying guard.

Also there are some people on the thread you showed who said the exact same thing I did.

We're just two different types of grapplers -- I'm realistic, you're sport.
