What Rules do you Roll to in the Academy and Why??

[Headkicktoleg]

The only rules I've ever heard my instructor give is "if something hurts just tap" and "don't be jerks to each other we are learning and having fun"

 

[beat...people...up?]

My academy doesn't allow takedowns in live rounds.

It's kinda of a bummer.

Ever?

In live rounds, no takedowns are allowed except guard pulling. Open mat starts from knees. IDK.

In the gi we follow IBJJF. No-gi, we throw everything though we have a pretty solid culture of safety so no one throws anything they're not expert enough to apply safely. We have very few injuries.

Our gym doesn't worry about IBJJF- we aren't affiliated with them, so no sense worrying.

White / Blue belts can do straight ankle locks, and knee bars - everything else is discouraged.

Purple and up - can do everything in gi. Heel hooks, reaping, slicers, etc. By that point, you should understand how to role safely with any technique.

No-gi- everything is legal, though we don't teach HH until we know they are not meathead idiots.
