It'd be great to hear the 10th planet perspective on positional vs action based points in jiu jitsu. What do you guys think about a shift in rules like Alberto wants to see?

I'm impressed with what he had to say at the 48 minute mark. Nice interview.

After the interview, around 1:30, you guys are discussing the point system, and the downfall of a sub-only match. I think Master Eddie came up with a solution for sub-only tournaments, which includes a time limit.
If you guys aren't familiar with it, you should ask some questions about it and get clarification, because the system at the last 10PJJ East coast tournament promoted aggressive attempts at submissions, AND dissuaded stalling tactics, AND had a time limit.

Seems just right.

Maybe something you can talk about next pod cast?
