Dark Side of BJJ

Saulo talks about some techniques that he doesn't use or recommend. I call them the Dark Side techniques because they hurt your training partners and in general are a dick-ish move.

For example, Opening Guard by digging your elbow points into the guy's thighs. There is a easier, gentler way to do it without using your elbows like that.

A few guys at the new place did that to me. You should see the bruises. I could go whine to the instructor, but instead I made sure I learned the counters, but still ... if I was a new White walking into the place ... I would either get hurt or not come back ...

BJJ is the gentle art. It's about angles and leverage. More people need to know that and use the right techniques.
