I used to until I saw a guy get his knee destroyed attempting to avoid a takedown. After that I'll either start down or just let the guy get the takedown. I'm doing this shit for fun. I don't want some lifelong injury.
I understand guard pulling sometimes. If the guy im rolling with is some big ass guy whose been rolling for 2 weeks i am sitting my ass down and not getting my knee blown out
In jiujitsu with no striking being on bottom isn't always bad. A lot of people who are really good on the bottom prefer it. I sit with people whp are either way bigger than me or new and don't know how to wrestle
Why was everybody against staring on the feet 🤷♂️ all fights strat on the feet and if you cant get the guy down your bjj doesn't even help you 😂. Just seemed like an important thing to practice
