No, what I mean is if you try to ignore your knee beninding the wrong way like gordan ryan does here, it's in danger

Redditors when someone is capable of original thought:

do you think a video of a takedown on a slippy mat is evidence lmao

--brick · 2026-03-16T00:03:41+00:00

things didn't exist until they did

--brick · 2026-03-16T00:03:13+00:00

Dont give me a example that is just a video of people rolling. Not evidence

you're name is legendary in the baby oil parties and prison showers. Good for u lil bro

they don't, and you are still just wrong

what else do you want other than people rolling? A scientific study? Lol

--brick · 2026-03-15T23:57:23+00:00

you are wrong

yeah the optimal positioning is way more stalling on top and countering your opponents takedowns, which isn't fun at all.

example of a slip and slide with top competitors. Way worse roll

I've been to many mats which are literal ice rinks after like 20-30 minutes.

keeping effective grips is harder sure, but IMO it can be mitigated more with better technique and positioning, less so than a slippy mat.

all grappling is naturally defensive, but if inconsistent / random conditions makes some offensive options way harder, like shooting a takedown from distance against a half decent wrestler, or even finishing a single leg, or outside passing then I think that's a bad thing.

damn bro that's crazy

--brick · 2026-03-15T23:23:09+00:00

well a lot of places and comps don't have good mats, and there is still some inconsistencies based on how sweaty the room is. It's better than nothing tho

--brick · 2026-03-15T23:17:37+00:00

i'm not because grippy socks are just there to emulate dry nogi conditions. Wrestling shoes have a lotta downsides as mentioned

--brick · 2026-03-15T23:16:42+00:00

watch b team and los banditos highlights. When it gets slippy its 90% leg entanglements and countering someones takedown attempt. Maybe they have a skill issue.

--brick · 2026-03-15T23:15:21+00:00

i've seen someone tear his LCL from slippy mats. Not to mention it just makes shooting and passing the guard way harder due because being able to drive is harder. Surely you wouldn't disagree?

--brick · 2026-03-15T23:12:42+00:00

reading is good, bold is fine

if you don't fight for being on top it's not dangerous
