In the interview we talk about different competition rule sets and how they impact things like competitor's mindsets/strategy and the martial art overall. We also talk about how rule sets impact tournament organization and spectators. Silverfox also talks about being a co-head referee of FIVE Grappling, what sets FIVE Grappling apart from other organizations and more!

What is your favorite rule set as a competitor? As a spectator? Can we find a balance between the two that is fair?

Good episode guys. I didn't think this one was going to be as interesting but it was.

I like the rule set Metamoris is rocking, minus the judges. I don't mind the IBJJF rule set but if only they would take away that dumb automatic DQ knee reaping rule. Plus black belts all subs should be legal. You're a black belt for a reason.
