Just as an addendum: I'm not asking that these competitions permit realism at every level, my contention isn't anything goes.
I've repeatedly, readily and continue to reiterate: I understand leglocks, bicep slicers and neck cranks -- because the point between breaking and submitting is way too close for comfort, and people at lower levels won't know not to apply all pressure.
What my contention is: If it's easily defensible, why have artificial techniques like flying guard pulls that are never utilized outside of the competition?
