Techniques to NOT do on the street

[judoka loca]

as a counter to the post "easiest takedowns in real life", what moves, not only takedowns, would you not use in the street, stuff that gives GJJ a reason to say that sport jiu jitsu is impractical.

I’d say trying to pile up advantages is a really dumb idea in a real fight.

“Can’t finish the sweep now, he might sweep me back! I should wait until there’s 1 minute left on the clock.”

Also, worm and squid guard. People’s jackets are not as uniform as gi jackets and you might get your toes caught in a little inner pocket and heelhook yourself.

Probably not a good idea to try inverted guard.

Butt flopping might get you kicked in the face.

Pull guard

Going soft when you lock a sub and he says sorry. Then he suckers you when you ease up or let go

Not letting your ego get out of control, at the end of the day you're still one guy, not the protagonist in a Hollywood action film. Get your ego back down to Earth.

Assume everyone's packing something

Ura-nage is riskier, a lot of factors to get right.

This. Quite a lot of what we do in BJJ would turn out rather badly if the guy pulls a knife out of his pocket and starts stabbing you in the leg or the side, even if you're already in a dominant position. For this reason I'd prioritize hand control over finishing until I was damn sure what I was up against. (Really, do this before engaging at all. Or better yet just don't.)

I also have an irrational fear of grappling in shoes due to my history of knee injuries and the worry that the extra material and friction would lead to unexpected twisting.

I have osgood schlatters on my knees so I try to keep those off hard surfaces as much as possible.

Knee hard on the ground penetration step while shooting for a takedown. Game over when you shatter your knee at your opponents feet.

First thing my wrestling coach taught us was not to slam your knee hard on the ground when trying to finish a double-leg because it is wasted force; most of that kinetic energy should be moving forward not downward

Pretty much the majority of Gi moves.

A collar-drag is a valid technique in any physical confrontation with someone wearing a collared shirt or jacket, possibly even a t-shirt depending on its (and its owner's) thickness.

Donkey guard. I love it when idiots pull this on me in practice.

most guard types.
Pulling guard is a last resort.

Biggest technique not to do; not being nastier than he is. Doesn't sound like a technique much, but having an asshole attitude when you have to wreck someone helps your survival chances go up.

I said most, not all.

If still rather do an arm drag than a collar drag in a fight for a multitude of reasons

I know I'm not as experienced as most of you here, but honestly I think the dumbest thing to do in a real fight is not immediately try and go for the safest, most reliable sub you can. I do good with Kimuras (even if my technique is not perfect), so I imagine I would try to go for those right away.

I think anything fancy in a real fight is doomed to failure. Pulling guard I think should not be voluntary and you should only be forced into getting full guard.

Anyways thats my two cents. Stick with what you are relatively good at.

No judo throws... except maybe o-goshi if your opponent is stupid. But if you were to harai-goshi, uchi-mata and even tai-otoshi your opponent.. you could definitely break them.

Flying arm bar? Except if the other guy is much taller than you so you won't hit your head on the concrete.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

-Scraping your knees in full mount, knee on belly might be the better choice
-Not striking
-Pulling guard
-Going inverted
-Leglocks. You may get that heel hook but you might eat some upkicks/axkicks to the face with the guys free leg.
-Toeholds, can’t toehold a shoe
-Taking the back and falling to your back. Either back mount or stay on top. Nothing sucks more than getting reverse headbutted into the concrete.
-Going for submissions off your back, this may work but I’d rather sweep.

This is what I was originally thinking of when I made this thread. Using flying armbar in sparring and scraping my head on the mat caused me to open my eyes to sport-vs-street
