Haha, Im ALREADY an asset to BJJ!!

Lmao. My bad. Didn't mean it that way. Just saying, getting rules clarification would be huge for so many guys. It would be really helpful. I don't doubt that you're already a great asset to BJJ.

Awesome guys, thank you very much for the info, good to know that DOA is legal in ibjjf. I am training for a local Gi competition next month (just to stay active, I don't really like Gi...), and I am working on some entries for the Double-Outside Ashi, which is a position that I feel very good control to work on the foot.

I was told that they would still stop you in this position because of the angle of the knee. We are taught to only have the knee on the ground or straight up...and yes I agree all foot locks should be legal along with reaping.

You guys said ass...

I was a Referee for the IBJJF a while back. The reaping rule has changed slightly since I last reffed to be a bit more forgiving.

Concerning footlocks they had a rule that you cannot be facing the opposite leg when trying to finish or you would have been dq'd. I'm wondering if that is still the case or are they more educated now.
