You are lucky to be 10p, where changes to the art are identified and assimilated as quickly as possible. No one in 10p is afraid that there is something new they don't know... they are excited there is something new that they (and most people) don't know.
I'm just not sure that the majority of the BJJ community is awake to that yet.
Especially when whole schools hide behind IBJJF rules that protect them from any kind of serious leg attack. It's easy to be in denial when guys are not allowed to use the techniques on you.
