Hey guys,
As you all know I'm pretty nooby in BJJ so I like to run stuff by the guys in F12.
I've been playing with this guard break because it's great fun and feels quite safe - normally I grab a wrist and stand to break but it takes me quite a while to get a good grip where I find I can just go for this at almost any time. Obviously Tozi used to do it this way, and I've seen Shinya Aoki demonstrate it in an MMA context, but I'm uncertain of whether it would be legal - and the last thing I want to do is be practicing a dick move on my training partners!
I've had it done to me and it feels like the pressure is on my ribs as my knee comes towards my head - like in that Pedro Sauer guard break, rather than on my neck - but I don't know if it's competition legal or seen as a neck or spine manipulation.
Please let me know what you guys think and apologies for my ignorance!
