IBJJF new rules

[Cora Sek]

We been having many success after learning the Single Leg X Guard like Marcelo does it. And rightly so, we have name that move the "Marcelo". Its been Golden for Cora, but every time she does it, I pray that she doesn't get disqualified. Also does anyone know of any rule concerning Electric chair sweep and lockdown?

I expected way worse changes. Still far from where they should be though. I'm also weighting for them to allow protective equipment like a mouth piece and cup. You have to be worried about immediate DQ from reaping fro "safety" but mouth piece and cup are illegal for "realism"? This pretty much the last sport out there with an organization who has this rule.

Many gym owners hate it when you do the lockdown but there is no IBJJF rule against it in a tournament. The electric chair is tricky because they will let you do groin sub's which it is but you can never do heal hooks in IBJJF which the occasional ref THINKS it is. Hopefully after this Royler rematch, less refs will be seeing it for the first time when they are forced to make a ruling on it so hopefully that will mean less mistakes.

Groin stretches are legal. So EC, banana splits, and crotch rippers are ok. As far as the lockdown, just make sure they don't tap to the calf pressure and call it a slicer.

Electric Chair falls under "Submission techniques stretching legs apart" which is legal for ages 13 and up. There is no issue with lockdown provided it's not used as a submission. Keep in mind a lot of traditional BJJ guys, refs included, consider lockdown a stall position so you need to make sure she's active with it to prevent "lute" penalties.

They'll still give the other guy an advantage when you put your lockdown in, and everytime you whip-up, and they flatten you out with the underhook they'll give him an advantage again. Advantage is lame, but you have to be aware that they're always there from every position.

I tap to lockdown. Ok I admit it. I tap to an 11 yr old girl lockdown.

There will be matches where both competitors pull double guard over and over in hopes that they can pull off a berimbolo within 20 seconds. Matches will be ending in -14/-16. It will be like judo except instead of looking for throws they will be looking for berimbolos

Fuck those guys. (Those guys meaning IBJJF)

Won't happen. Fighter is DQ'd after 4 penalties.
