Should You Use Illegal BJJ Techniques in Gym?

In today’s video we talk about using “illegal submissions” inside your BJJ gym. Now when we say illegal what we mean is illegal in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions. Our friend asks this because recently he’s found that he’s been successful using a few moves that aren’t allowed in Jiu-jitsu competitions and he’s wondering if he should continue to use them or not.

In the video I stress that I personally don’t want to be dependent on any type of technique. Whether it’s illegal, a gi specific move, no gi specific move, etc. I want my BJJ to be transferable to a fight, competition or rolling situation. Not just one or the other.

Also, competitions vary in what is legal and illegal so it’s hard to say 1 technique or another is illegal.

If you’re in a similar situation with using techniques that are illegal or just frowned upon then hopefully this video makes sense.

Thanks for watching!
