I dont understand why they would not allow you to sit. I sit down in tournements because I came to fight a jiu jitsu match , not 4 mins of wrestling/Judo then 2 mins of jiu jitsu. Sitting and pulling halfguard/lockdown or working a sweep is just the way I roll haha. I prefer using the full match time to try and work something..
"You have to be one bad ass confident mother fucker to walk out in a tournament and sit." -Eddie.
I like the idea of being a bad ass confident mother fucker. I'm looking to pull guard all day this weekend unless coach tells me to do something different. The way I see it, these bitches ain't seen MY guard yet and they've got no answer for it! ;) On a serious note, I totally agree -- I came here for a jiu jitsu match not a judo/wrestling match. Like Eddie said in MTRG (paraphrasing): you bust your ass training for weeks, kill yourself to make weight, pay your $60 entrance fee, then you go out there and dance around for three minutes for a takedown? Now you've only got two minutes to work for a sweep or submission. Fuck it, pull guard and let's get to work.Quote:

If that's your strongest point, then by all means. But don't think because it works for Ryan hall and Eddie that this should be everyone's choice method of attack.
I like to get the party started asap :)
psht.. real men start out laying on there stomach. ;)Quote:
