It’s more the back of the head slamming on the mat than the strength that seems very un-jiu jitsu.

Dunno why I’m taking time to respond to this silliness but if we ever roll I’m only going for jumping and flying attacks. Lol and we will both walk away unscathed and maybe you’ll see they aren’t as bad as you think.

You don’t have to defend the flying part, just the triangle.

Well because one is a jiu jitsu technique that ends in someone tapping to a choke and the other is a brute strength move that ends with a concussion… seems rather obvious to me why it isn’t legal but like I said, I’m for it.

Never said anything about not wanting to be slammed. I’m all for the rule set allowing slamming out of any and all subs in tournaments — so you’re wrong about that.

And some tournaments like ADCC that’s been allowed. So are you okay with flying techniques if slamming is allowed?

I just don’t get where this saltiness over flying techs came from or when it started.

Many egotistical douchebags think the rules are bullshit when they dont suit them. Don’t worry.

Many people, huh?

Lol are people getting hurt from flying attacks all the time or something? Been doing this full time for 15 years and didn’t know this was a problem.

Bro this rivershot dude is clearly a white belt who sucks at jiu jitsu and his opinion of flying techniques sucks just the same. The rules are well laid out and settled. If you wanna be a bitch about a perfect fair move that’s on you.

Oh right… you caught me! I made it all up! You’ve seen it all there mr blue belt.

I’m telling you right now, I dunno how long you’ve been training, but I’ve never known anyone to be mad at people for doing flying techniques. Usually it’s only extremely skilled folk attempting them.

If you notice… most people in who feel similar to me are purple or above. Interesting.

I think a couple blue belts and white belts on Reddit are hardly a representation of our whole sport. I’d love to see a poll at my school how people feel.

Also, just because someone flying triangles you doesn’t mean they can’t take you down. Meant they didn’t even have to. Go wrestle if you want.

There would be no honor in your dq or your elbow in the nuts. You’d just be an egotistical douchebag who can’t handle playing within the rules.

You seem to have some anger over this.. do you wanna point on the doll where he flying triangled you…?

Dafuq is going on?!?

I meant because you’re so salty about people doing flying techniques and clearly have an irrational fear of it, so it would be a great technique to attack you with because you aren’t prepared for it, and your reaction would probably be comical you’re talking about rape? Calling me weird? Sigh.. THAT is weird.

Also, I was saying I have 100s of people in our gym, and many people over the years have taken a liking to flying techniques and people haven’t ever had a problem with it. Not like we are flying off the walls with hundreds of people every night.

I wasn’t trying to brag, I was trying to say I’ve been training for 15 years and this fear of flying triangles must be a newer thing because I’m pretty plugged into the scene and this is the first time I’ve seen so many up in arms about it. To the point of saying they’d take the dq and slam them with their elbow in their nuts. Imo that’s the real rapey vibes here.

Wow so humble and wise. Hopefully everyone has learned their lesson today and can be more like you, sensei.

Lol you guys are softer than baby shit. I train 6 days a week, and work an outside labor job. I’m not 37 but I’m 34. Literally 100s of us in our school. “Flying shit” done there since 2006 and it’s never been that much of a problem. If anything I’ve seen the attacker land hard and maybe knock the wind out of themselves.

I’m really just shocked to see people on here crying about flying attacks. And seeing some of the top posts saying stuff like “I’d eat the DQ and slam my elbow into his nuts if he tried that on me” … wow

You would be an absolute joy to flying triangle lol

What a trash attitude. Like punching someone for dunking on you. I can see why they ruled out jumping guard for white belts, but there is nothing wrong with flying techniques once you learn how to control yourself. You guys will get there one day, I’d bet.
