Why do people think 10th Planet is different from BJJ?

the moment you put any outside pressure on the legs that turn the knee, you can be DQ'd for reaping the knee. Also Knee locks are prohibited from blue belt and below as far as I'm aware. I know that the Lockdown doesn't reap the knee but I did it in my last gym and was told by the coach that it would be illegal if I tried it in a competition and I would have been DQ'd. He's a regular referee, Judge and very highly regarded around here.

I've only rolled in one tournament, but I used lockdown like a MF'er, and had no issues.

Rafa Mendes teaches a different style to Marcelo Garcia who teaches a different style to Renzo Gracie. Eddie is different again.

It's all still Jiujitsu!

having competed several times in ibjjf tournaments....i can positively say the lockdown is completely legal. now the electric chair is illegal in some of the divisions, but the lockdown itself is fine.

Lock down is perfectly legal, your instructor was bullshitting you.

Electric chair is too, banana splits are legal at all levels IBJJF

Cant imagine why he is highly regarded if he thinks the lockdown is illegal.

Judo and Greco Roman both have the same goal, take your opponent down. But Judo is tug-o-war based and Greco Roman is clinch based.

Bjj and tpjj both have the same goal, submit your opponent. But bjj is tug-o-war based and tpjj is clinched based.

Judo = bjj.
Greco Roman = tpjj.

It's really that simple
