People shit on guard pulling in BJJ... but screw it. Let it happen, why not just get to the meat of it? Thanks to guard pulling, BJJ has developed such interesting ideas and ways to fight from your back that we'd never figure out in Judo. Its an excellent skillset for self defence.
When I'm on the ground with BJJers, I'm always learning shit I'd never figure out in Judo training alone. The ones I like least are the guys that try to make some point about BJJ standup and end up stalling out or doing goofy sutemi waza.
Yep lots of people want to cosplay at being shitty wrestlers in bjj while bemoaning the thing the sports actually good at, it's honestly quiet bizarre.
