He's not gonna get it.
BJJ is the gentle art. Its emphasis is skill, not force, which is why force in the form of a slam is not rewarded in competition.
He's unwilling to grasp the notion that isolating this gentle and skilled art from other more forceful combat moves in competition has value.
He may know some grappling and BJJ moves, but doesn't know the culture and theory of the practice.

What constitutes as skill can differentiate greatly, Judo is supposed to be the Gentle Way as well.
If you're not going to read, why bother responding? What one calls skillful another calls facile.
Like flying guard pulls, which almost always result in being slammed on your head because they don't work.
So why not get rid of facile moves like that?
