BT now has a two part documentary on his youtube account that covers him grappling. it includes already well known footage as well as some new footage. here is the link

i can get behind the Q Tip.

first match;

why doesn't the guy hit him with o-uchi/ko-uchi gari? Why do they stop when the guy could knee bar him from the inverted guard? Why didn't his opponent pass his guard or solidify any of his positions?

was this supposed to be MMA or was this grappling? It seemed as though BT was throwing strikes, but his opponents were not.

basically, this is the some amateurish crap. In BJJ, this level of practice represents the 2-12 week period of no previous experience. In Judo, I would say they look like yellow/orange/green belts.

"why doesn't the guy hit him with o-uchi/ko-uchi gari?"

I would respond if i knew what that was, haha.

"Why do they stop when the guy could knee bar him from the inverted guard? Why didn't his opponent pass his guard or solidify any of his positions?"

Thats like saying "why didn't the boxer just punch the other boxer in the nose?" It is a lot easier said than done.

"was this supposed to be MMA or was this grappling? It seemed as though BT was throwing strikes, but his opponents were not."

Grappling. I am not sure where you see BT throwing strikes. He never hit the guy once.

o uchi is a basic foot sweep.

easy to employ when someone's feet are spread wide laterally.

no. that knee bar would have been easy for any BJJ blue belt or any beginning sambo student.

it looked like he was throwing elbows from the guard (albeit lightly)

"o uchi is a basic foot sweep.

Is it used when one foot is further forward than another?

It can be or a square stance. It's actually a inner reap.

Kelly; judo is a great way to learn to make people fall down

bjj is a great way to learn what to do with them when they get there.

train in either. it will be such a more productive use of your time.

"It can be or a square stance. It's actually a inner reap."

I see. We have a simlar movement in our system. Probably a little bit different.

I agree, crosstraining can be a great help. I actually went to a judo class the other day with a friend of mine. I think the best part is getting to spar with people of different disciplines. I think that is why BT does it. Always good to have experienced what your opponent is going to try to do to you before they do it for real.
