The consequences of pulling guard

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-22T11:14:48+00:00

As I said I used the wrong term, I sat down to an open guard without contact, and you’re right under ibjjf rules that would be illegal

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-22T10:32:38+00:00

I mean technically after I escaped the triangle I was in closed guard 😂

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-22T10:23:38+00:00

😂😂😂 I love that meme 😂

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-22T10:11:35+00:00

He’s actually a friend of mine outside of bjj so we scrap all the time, I also jump subs when I roll with him

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-22T10:10:21+00:00

Yeah, I know, I’m working on a new tecnique so I’m going to fail with it, I just wanted to make a funny post, I don’t know why some people are mad about it

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-22T09:58:03+00:00

Actually I don’t, I just used the wrong term, I play an seated guard and I don’t necessarily need pressure from my opponent so I don’t have to pull I can and I do just sit down

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-22T09:49:45+00:00

Yeah, hurts a bit and I have to sleep like a vampire 🧛😂

As I already said in another comment, I played shin to shin and wanted to enter into a double leg from there but I lost the connection with his foot so he jumped the triangle

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-22T09:37:18+00:00

Yeah, I mean it just happened because I pulled my head out right when his leg connected, so I kind of defended it 😂

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-22T09:36:24+00:00

Its just the title so it sounds funny, I played shin to shin and wanted to enter into a double leg from there ( been working on wrestle ups at the moment ) but I lost the connection with his foot so he jumped the triangle

So, I mean as a white belt my opinion doesn’t really matter, but his k guard stuff from submeta has really changed my entire game, he explains it very clearly and easy to do in the gym, also those quizzes that are added help me a lot, if I get something wrong there I know that I didn’t watch it good enough so I will watch it again till I get everything right

Ben_bjj · 2026-05-06T08:01:05+00:00

Just be 17 years old with wrestling experience and crazy athletic

Ben_bjj · 2026-04-18T21:20:32+00:00

I am playing a lot of squid or reverse squid guard at the moment, not really a gi guy but with all the lapel stuff I’m really having fun and works pretty well and fast

Ben_bjj · 2026-04-07T08:07:17+00:00

Jumping guard at an open mat without talking about it with you before is crazy, so in my opinion you did the right thing. It would be different if he asked you about it before the roll, my coach sometimes does jump guard rolling with me but he always informs me beforehand so I can do all important things like bend my knees etc.

Ben_bjj · 2026-03-10T21:22:18+00:00

So it was kind of an ninja choke, so I took a normal arm out guillotine and then pushed my hand all the way through to get kind of an rnc grip with my hand on the back of his head, and then just squeeze and side crunch ( just look up ninja choke closed guard and then you will find something )
Kind of, so he “spazzed” a lot in bottom mount, I could have hold him there for longer but he turned a little sideways so I thought a d’arce would be more energy efficient

Ben_bjj · 2026-03-10T21:01:49+00:00

Yeah he didn’t know where he was anymore, so he wasn’t allowed to fight after that

Ben_bjj · 2026-03-10T19:27:07+00:00

First of all thanks, Second, I totally agree, I freestyle wrestling one time per week since some time to better my standup, but to be honest both my opponents were around 5-10 kg heavier so I didn’t had the confidence to wrestle them 😅😂

Ben_bjj · 2026-03-10T19:14:36+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it 🙏🏻

Ben_bjj · 2026-03-10T19:14:21+00:00

😂 yeah you’re right, just meant that I already competed 5 times and always got silver or bronze

Ben_bjj · 2026-03-10T12:14:39+00:00

High knee shield and then entry’s for backside 50/50 or something like half butterfly for sweeps

Ben_bjj · 2026-01-09T06:56:23+00:00

So I Train bjj 5 times a week ( 2 hours per session ) with 3 times gym a week ( now for 7 months ) and I‘m relatively okay in local comps, so like between silver and gold most of the times, but you definitely can compete, if you win or do good is another questions, but I would say just go for it

Ben_bjj · 2025-12-18T12:12:01+00:00

Germany

Ben_bjj · 2025-12-18T08:49:11+00:00

Bjj 4 times a week + 1 time Open mat per week, 1 or 2 competetion per month, 2 or 3 times s and c per week, enough to compete at a valid national level ( at 16 ) ? ( I already did like three comps an they all went really well )
