That's fine, forget the points. That's a huge degree of control to give up. You're giving up arguably the most dominant position (by letting someone sweep and mount) to someone only to try to escape, and then sweep, only to end up right back on top where you were to begin with?
Unless the plan is to sweep directly to side control, but even then. A good grappler is going to make you pay if you're under their mount. I don't know why you wouldn't just learn how to pass the guard?
EDIT: Besides "keeping it playful" I see no situation where that's a smart choice. be it a tournament or an MMA fight or self defense. That sounds like a crazy strategy.
That's why I like Mike. No nonsense completely logical and highly analytical view of jj, competition, and an encyclopedia of the top players. Good contrast to our dumbasses.
I gotta couch with your name on it anytime Kurz.
