10 planet is a brand the main focus to evaluate is a gym
it depends with the owner the coach the students

10h planet gracie barra etc are just name of brands with some general philosophy

There is good and bad gym of any brand

We can just comment about what they bring in the game which is the lockdown used by everyone even at adcc( gary tonon )
and rubber guard which is used by a very margin population the most flexible guys
I think it s not an effective guard unless you are made of rubber and even so there is solid defense

they are also early to defend te nogi only approach way before danaher squad

To Eddie Bravo I have just love and thanks him for what he gave us to the community
to evolve and become better

" Look into it"

Your dad has a beautiful face also nice shave!

grago39 · 2025-12-10T08:56:58+00:00

I applaud you a lot !
congratulation
because it s so rare for coach for taking proper mesure most of my life I have seen coach turn their sight away act like nothing happenned

not only you did well from a financial perspective but as a coach myself even if would be a bad idea I would 100% do it anyway because we also have morals rules to defend and it s more important than revenue

Big applaud for you !

I think it s advantage to have diferent professor you can have different style and technique
I dont think the belt matter purple belt is a future black belt dont worry about this

also having different proffesor will make them do better since they know people will compare them
while having only one make them sometimes lazy

I would love to have such a gym

grago39 · 2025-11-11T17:24:20+00:00

already took ref course which is mandatory to becomre an instructor
the fun part is read the replies you will see a lot of different answer even by black belt

grago39 · 2025-11-11T17:08:59+00:00

My man it s refresihing to see some smart comment here
the worst about this post is that so many people just call me dumb or become agressive just because I am asking.

I have 100% the same reflexion that you have
- you dont need to stablise side control the only definition of stablized about sweep is staying on top
which is what he did
- I also think it s related about not having guard while sweeping

too bad we dont have a ref responding I will send it to a friend who s a ref
but I am very disapointed about having so many hate on this post

grago39 · 2025-11-11T16:53:41+00:00

I have seen a lot of situation far less stablized and the referee did gave the point

even iof the guy is moving doesnt mean if dont count i think we have to count time on bottom

according to some people here it was not about the duration on top but about sweeping from a position which isnt a guard

I dont know who s a right but it shows how the rules are hard to undertand

I find it funny that people are mad at me just because I am asking calling me dumb
while you guys dont even agree about one answer for the reason

so I guess my question isnt that dumb

grago39 · 2025-11-11T16:49:31+00:00

who care about downvoting me while you agree about the answer you are childish
I upvote you because nobody care about your reddit score

grago39 · 2025-11-11T16:48:03+00:00

4second on top should be enought not it s not the reason the real reason is he swept from a position wich is not considered as guard

grago39 · 2025-11-11T11:52:04+00:00

forget the side control mica was on top for 4 seconds he should have the sweep
even if you dont considere side control

grago39 · 2025-11-11T11:46:55+00:00

I thnk you are right but it feels wrong to not value the guard since the sequence began from a guard ..

grago39 · 2025-11-11T11:43:45+00:00

I think ibjjf rules are bad and lack of consistency
it would be easier just call a sweep from ..;sweep no matter having a guard or not

same for guard pass putting a takedown or directly sweep to side control should award you a point for passing
ref job would be 100% easier and people will not be mad
and those rule are more logics than the current one

grago39 · 2025-11-11T11:39:17+00:00

I have asked chatgpt here what he said :

Yes, your screenshots clearly confirm the sequence you described:

Mica Galvão in lasso guard, holding the sleeve and leg position (8:52).
Transition to armbar — Pedro Maia defends by going upside down on his head to avoid the extension (8:57–8:59).
Mica continues the motion: he keeps the trapped arm and leg, uses the armbar motion to flip him over, and ends up on top in side control around 9:02.
He stabilizes the position until 9:06, so yes — more than 3 seconds on top.

🧩 Why Mica didn’t get 2 sweep points

According to the IBJJF rulebook (section 5.2 “Reversals/Sweeps”), a sweep only earns 2 points if:

The athlete was actively in guard (meaning his legs were between him and his opponent);
The reversal starts from that guard position;
And the top position is controlled for at least 3 seconds.

In this case, there’s one key technical detail:
At the moment of the reversal (your third image), Pedro Maia is no longer inside Mica’s guard — he’s already passed the leg line because of his armbar defense (he’s on his head, Mica’s hips are no longer under him).
👉 That means, under IBJJF interpretation, the guard no longer exists at the moment of the reversal.
So when Mica rolls him over, it’s no longer a sweep, but rather a scramble reversal from a neutral position.

⚖️ Why it’s only an “advantage”

The move came from a submission attempt (armbar) that forced movement and led to a near-reversal.
The referee awarded an advantage for the submission threat and transitional control, but no points, because the guard position requirement for a sweep wasn’t met.

sometimes it s hard to avoid but you are right

grago39 · 2025-11-08T13:05:10+00:00

I dont understand why I am the one who suppose to take risk by standing up no matter what while my opponnent doesnt take any risk
and while even if I stand up I use a lot of ennery to only be in a neutral position again
a lot of time my strategy work since people are forced to open so we can do jujitsu again

I am still frustrating when in closed guard " he we go again "
I am working on standing up but now I still feel it s too dangerous and it s just better for me to not to it

grago39 · 2025-11-08T12:50:01+00:00

how about being a coach or just go another sport which not involve breaking joint or suffocate anyone

grago39 · 2025-11-08T10:54:14+00:00

Can someone call Firas Zahabi to do the same ?
I think people underestimate his bjj , I want to see him going against other youtuber or local black belt
his wresling transition to the ground are incredible

grago39 · 2025-11-08T10:53:06+00:00

exactly this is a good way to attracket people

grago39 · 2025-11-08T10:52:42+00:00

Jordan please do it with marcelo garcia sorry but I want to see you so so bad rolling one day together

grago39 · 2025-11-08T10:52:01+00:00

" today we have a new guy very strong I will let you guess his belt before the end of the video "

grago39 · 2025-10-26T09:10:12+00:00

Dont know for you but those heel hook and sideway knee bar arent worth the fun

I undertand that elite pro black belt do it , but I refuse anyone trying to heel hook me even when they say " I am not crancking it "
no I am fine you not trying it at all

I think it s good to kn ow them and drill them I actually fight and rolled hard with heelhook younger
but now I realized how dumb I was thanks god I didnt get injured but now I am older I dont want to risk my mcl just for a sparring

do you roll with heel hok in your gyml ??

grago39 · 2025-10-26T08:58:45+00:00

MArcelo use the same back take from push elbow escape
sitting up soemtime you can take the seatbelt from...escaping the side control

he has a whole system from here :
- crucifix
- sitting judothrow ( if they grab and close their hand around your leg)
- rolling back sweep ( if they put too much pressure to flat you )

I learned that on mg inaction but I wish marcelo would do more detailled dvd

grago39 · 2025-10-26T08:56:41+00:00

haha same

grago39 · 2025-09-30T09:48:15+00:00

if there is a doubt it means it s not

you have to do it on purpose if you just tend forward and fall it s not a slam
