Do you love to attack a Submission or do you play for points and position? The divide in grappling culture grows as the popularity of high action, Sub only events and tournaments has broken into the mainstream. Interest in the regular BJJ rules set of point, advantages and a slower pace game is decreasing. Will this trend continue or can there be a big change?
Can the IBJJF and BJJ in general stage a comeback by incorporating submission only rule sets? If there were no points or advantages awarded in Gi Jiu-jitsu would this change it for the better? JT & Joey go back and forth in a debate on the nature of what makes grappling great and what the future of BJJ looks like.
