re: BJJ Competitions, and why I hate them.

You've displayed no ability to have a genuine discussion.

Rolling it back -- You said you're a real grappler and I'm a sport grappler. (I don't compete in BJJ anymore, btw, for the reason that I'm not interested in the sport aspect).

I replied that we're not talking about us as individuals because this thread is about the sport of BJJ in the setting of a competition -- so the type of grappler's we are as individuals is irrelevant to this discussion. I hope you see why.

You continue to not grasp the concept that BJJ is a skill within the skill of grappling. In a BJJ competition you're isolating the art of BJJ, which is a gentle and skilled art -- which makes forceful slamming something that shouldn't be rewarded.

I mean, this really isn't that difficult to understand. You seem to be unwilling to understand.

This 'debate' has not been close at all. This thread went horribly wrong for you. I realize that's difficult for you to deal with.
