my real life experience with BJJ
I think you guys are worshipping some type of ideal that's false. My personal experience with BJJ is different than what a lot of people are imagining. Being a BB Judo player, maybe my perspective is skewed, but, in my experience... and granted the highest BJJ'er I've competed against was a purple, but in my experience... BJJ players pull guard pretty much all the time because they are scared to stand up against an experienced Judo player. And, unless I feel like playing with them... I step out of their attempts at pull guard. Meaning, that unless I feel like it, I don't have to newaza with them.
