  • '“The way Marcelo Garcia plays guard, is, in my opinion, how it should be done,” Hall said. “Your whole job is to pull them off of you and stand up into a single leg. I’m finding more and more that the traditional sweeps don’t really work at the high level, at least not in the way that you normally think of them: you cut me over, and I fall like kaboom right on my back. That doesn’t really happen. It’s like a 20 point touchdown.'

    Is the end of hanging out in guard nigh? Heh, I want to agree with this because sweeping someone better felt so hopeless. It's always easier to try to stand up.

    If this is the way things really go, jiu-jitsu might end up working a lot of judo back in.

  • I like how they threw an ape in the corner.
