So tired of watching BJJ Blackbelts just laying in the guard and just defending

I couldnt agree more, I am better from my guard, and I just dont see that at places I have trained or in MMA

You couldn't see your guard being ineffective if you came up against a strong competitor in mma that understood the dangers of being in guard? You probably aren't thinking about it hard enough then.

For MMA it is a bad place to be. If you don't finish them you loose. Just how it works. I don't agree with it but that is how it is.
