Why Modern BJJ Sucks For Modern MMA (Episode 403)

We discuss the BJJ ruleset shift created in 1975 that incentivized groundwork and removed penalties for guard pulling which ultimately shaped the direction of Jiu-Jitsu.

We also talk about the technique that Jiu-Jitsu does best, the first "Three Waves of MMA," what Chewy's preferred guard was for MMA when in bottom position, the best base for MMA and also for self defense, the importance of sparring and going live for stress inoculation, "Alpha Male Bros," and the idea of "Inflated grandiosity."
