No Gi British Open 2009 Highlight

[Jaeckrich]

Awesome highlight. Would've been better without Braulio yapping through the beginning!! ;)

[artursowa1]

Very nice competition :)

[Saforge]

Can anyone explain the scoring system of BJJ tournaments like this? Like what a reversal is worth, what a takedown is worth, etc

[dumplord51]

@Saforge

4 points – mount, back grab

3 points – passing the guard

2 points – take downs, sweeps and knee on the belly

-1, -2... - penalties

1, 2, 3... – advantages

^^ thats international scoring but other tournaments use various other methods of scoring

--------points only matter if a match goes to decision and does not end in a submission

[fr0ber]

@dumplord51 Just to clarify for anyone reading: You don't get 2 points forever for placing your knee on someones belly over and over again :P

[rofldan]

The Cartwheel at 3:05 was it really necessary lol ?

[riotgage]

Braulio is a monster in grappling

[homer091]

how do jiu jitsu fights work? (as in time and rounds).

[goldfinger123]

Usually you have 5 minuts to make more points than your opponent

[bilbaisim]

bjj is starting to grow now in uk still verry small compared 2 judo but give it a chance will be a good level.

[dewi555]

"still very small compared to judo"

there were 500-600 competitors at the BJJ British Open this year, +300 at this No Gi event, 500+ at the Kent Open last year, with the Kent Open being held over 2 days this year, it will have possibly 600-800 competitors. I've not seen any judo competitions for many years, are they getting these sort of numbers?

[grapplerke]

In Japan, but certainly not in Britain.

[goldfinger123]

Judo is an olympic stop; so it's obviously is more popular and people would preffer Judo for watch.

And one more thing : BJJ can look boring for people who dont understand, it look like is just 2 mans rubbing in the ground.

After met BJJ people naturally preffer BJJ :)

[Darbzznc]

You're right bjj can be boring to watch for people who don't understand but I don't think popularity has that much of an impact on which sports are in the olympics, walking is in the olympics! haha

[billysue2]

@goldfinger123 the only people who watch many olympic sports are those that either do them or their friends and family.Its not like soccer,basketball,baseball ,tennis where many non players follow and enjoy it.

[IMnotSAS]

@billysue2

thats a good thing i dont the secret techniques out!
