Excellent technique...but you might want to show your students how to breakfall properly

@poolboyinla It could be many reasons! Newer students can easily get injured if they don't know what they are doing. If it's a big class there might not be much room for standing take downs. They might not have proper mats so take downs on hard mats can be quit painful ect..

Why do so many bjj guys want to start on their knees?

[WillingToPooNvm]

will the scissor sweep work if the opponent has a knee up?
