I HATE wrestling on my knees, any ideas?

[SHAOLINMONK]

I wanna tap out from boredom if i wrestle from my knees. Is their any way around this stupid semipointless boring part bjj. I used to just turtle up and wait for my back to be taken. Im a big guy and trying to work on my half guard and full guard anyone got some youtube links. Ive seen some high level 10th planet guys sit on their ass and follow their opponent with their hips. I train no gi btw

Why not use butterfly guard and work to positions like butter half and homie control IF Guard work is your goal.

The F series of the Warm Ups covers Butterfly Guard, in the description they give you all the steps so just try and follow (Homie Control is in there as well)

Hope this helps

If he doesn't pull guard in the first three seconds just pull guard. Get it going. Play guard and improve your guard. When you get on top, work your top game. Turtling up too as you stated gets the action going. Nothing is more lame then two guys sparring from their knees. I recall many a blog and many lists along the lines of "Don't be this guy in BJJ" that condemn fighting from the knees. Do what I do, pull guard.

Thanks everyone for the advice that one video is a nice drill. Wish I still trained under 10th pl instructor

Too many people in Bjj class for everyone to start standing with wrestling. It’s a safety issue. Just pull guard and earn the top position with a sweep, that’s what I do 95% Of The time
