Benn mostly competing in NoGi for the last 10 years; gonna slide back into Brown Belt Gi division next month!

What are the main things I gotta watch out for? Any cool stuff I can try? It's IBJJF ruleset.

Nowadays the cool thing to do is to jump closed guard and then repetitively feign hip bump sweeps until you win by advantage.

It's the new 50/50.

You know what....I've never really thought of that before!

It's kinda funny that my main weapon is the Kimura from full guard, yet, I have never once actually pulled guard in a match.

Maybe i will try! thanks!

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Maybe try this hot new belt game

You might get DQ'ed for excessive bio-mechanics.

Lapel guards

People attack a lot more straight anklelocks in the GI nowadays, but you should be ready for that coming from nogi.

also expect a lot better open guards.

Will you do masters or adult and what weight will you be in?

My back ground is mostly no gi also. It took me a while to get good at defending gi chokes. With people of my level all the fancy guards don't bother me to much. I usually use head control and squish their hooks and trap them as they invert. Brown belt they will probably be a bit better at playing those guards.

I now only do the occasional class in no gi and it makes me love it so much. That second I realise I don't have to defend my collar is the best

Be sure to cross yourself before and after your match (if you win). Rip your gi jacket apart to reveal your abs.
