2013 ibjjf rule changes

Apparently collegiate wrestlers and mma fighters with a pro record cannot register as white belts. Also all "minor penalties" from the rule book have become serious penalties. They posted this and more info on their Facebook page

 

lol

 

Here's the actual post by IBJJF on their Facebook page (Reaping rules look like they are going in the right direction).

 

Does sound like a step in the right direction, much more along the lines of what US Grappling has been doing all along with regards to the reaping issue.

 

What was this prior? Thanks

 

Ad for your ass hitting the ground, points for your back hitting the ground. So if you got drop seio'ed, but based and jumped back up, it was still a takedown.

 

Which, in turn, led to an even greater deal of subjectivity than is already inherent in takedown rules.

Amiright?

 

So could someone explain is reaping still an auto DQ?

 

It seems (I could be wrong) that reaping is an auto-DQ during a sub, but if it's a positional reap you get penalized and reset.

 

So does it mean its harder to get take down points considering the fact you have to keep them down for 3 seconds?

 

Well yes. But it is at least consistent with the sweep rules. If you can't control on top, you can't score. Makes sense to me.

 

Does the ADCC take a similar approach to take downs.

 

To the new rules, yes.

 

During a sub.?

 

Straight ankle lock?
But if you reap during single x guard then it is not dq

 

Straight ankle, leg lace, toeholds, kneebars. All can cause reaping.

 

Ok sounds good to me. What about the berimbolo. Is hooking the shin okay now?

 

Hooking is still okay. Clasping and torquing is still illegal.

 

Awesome. Congrats on rogers win today. Btw

 

I don't want to take ALL the credit, but thanks. ^_-
