(Lapel Guard Ban)In terms of the lapel guards, or worm guards, sometimes you have to slow the match down to take control. Jiu jitsu can be as fast paced as a NCAA wrestling match, but can also be a slow, methodical, technical exchange. We do jiu ijtsu to find our own way, Ive heard many great instructors say that they can show a technique to 50 students, and have 50 students do it 50 different ways; they do it in their own way, making their own adjustments to their own games/bodies etc. And the lapel guard is a direct embodiment of someones development of a game, a style. People have been feeding the lapel in between the legs of a standing opponent, and using it to come up for sweeps for years. People have been using the lapel in side control, and guard structures to set up brabo type chokes and series for years as well. Are we going to ban all that shit too? I hope not. Like I said sometimes you need to slow the game down to take control, to implement your will, and your pace. It is a sport, and at the black belt level the goal is to win. If you dont like it, learn how to beat it, dont be a pussy and ban shit. Thats weak
