The reason it is called “scissor removal” is the movement of the legs. The goal of this round is to bring your opponent to the ground quickly. Given the damage this movement can cause to opponents, the IBJJF classified it as illegal. not even a little. It`s a neck crank/spine lock or whatever you want to call it – under IBJJF, it`s not legal at any skill level, GI or No GI. The can opener has been made illegal because it can injure the opponent`s neck and spine in an article we`ve covered here. The Twister is also a spinal lock popularized by the pioneer of the 10th planet, Eddie Bravo. The Twister deposits a rotational movement on the spine rather than bending it naturally. Although there are a number of BJJ agencies and organizations that have different rules and regulations, we will discuss ten of the illegal steps following the rules of the Brazilian International Jiu-Jitsu Federation. No type of spine locking is allowed in IBJJF competitions, including twisters. A spinal lock is essentially a multi-articular lock that is applied to the spine and performed by forcing the spine beyond its normal range of motion.
Suplexes are more of a gray area, as some judo throws are probably just as violent, but completely legal. Suplexes are most likely illegal because they are more likely to suffer injuries and concussions. While judo throws are usually used to iap your opponent by landing him flat on his back, we often see wrestling fights where the opponent is thrown on his neck at the end. This is actually reasonably normal and is accepted in struggle. I watched some highlights of Eddie Bravo`s “The Twister” DVD and just wondered if the Twister was still a legal technique for BJJ. Vigorous application of this movement can lead to damage to the ligament. Therefore, in BJJ and all kinds of jiu-jitsu competitions, this stage is considered illegal by the authorities. Use of this step may result in your disqualification from the contest. The postponements and submissions listed below are illegal in ibjjf competitions. For beginners, if you want to do a tournament in the Gi, you can assume that it is very likely that it will be under the rules of the IBJJF.
No Gi has more rule variations like IBJJF, EBI and ADCC – with each competition different in points, rules and time limits. A large number of knee injuries are found as a result of this movement. The standing person usually receives hyperextension or dislocations. That`s why the IBJJF marked it as an illegal movement in all kinds of competitions. However, if you want to submit twister to the contest, you have options. Other BJJ competitions such as ADCC, NAGA and a few others allow twister submission. In general, no-gi competitions are more likely to allow technique. In addition, twister filing is also legal in MMA. One of the illegal techniques that can lead to immediate disqualification is suplex. In BJJ, you can`t use any kind of suplex by selecting your opponents and hitting them on the ground.
Most grappling sports limit the use of suplexes. Spinal locks as well as all other types of submissions are legal in MMA, although there have only been two Twister submissions conducted in the UFC. BJJ Twister Submission is a very unpleasant gesture that forces you to put a lot of pressure on your spine. This is an illegal move according to the rules of the IBJJF and you certainly do not want to be on the side of the reception. However, it is a very effective submission and a powerful weapon whenever the rules allow it. Why not have as many tools as possible in your BJJ toolbox? Well, the Twister submission is an emergency situation tool. However, the international federation also prevents you from throwing opponents on your neck. So, despite your level in BJJ, this step is illegal for you. Many athletes use it in order to escape, to stretch the hands or joints of their opponents` toes too much.
Given the long-standing consequences and problems, all major martial arts organizations, including the IBJJF, MMA and Judo federations, have declared it illegal at all levels. You can only use eligible applications for the highest belt in the roll. This means that whoever has the highest belt in a pair, you work according to this set of rules. Doing something else delays the progression of the highest belt and can lead to bad habits. So if I`m a blue belt, I can even lock the white belts with my wrist and they can lock me on the wrist. I can also attack the legs for the knee bar or taking the toes of a brown or black belt when I ride with them. However, unless otherwise stated by your trainer, you may not use any of the totally illegal techniques during training in the Gi. There is a vocal group of no-gi grapplers (especially 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu students) who believe that spinal locks should be legal. But is it reasonable for the IBJJF to have a strict ban on vertebral locks? This means that while some positions in contests may be prohibited or illegal, we also appreciate their effectiveness in MMA or self-defense scenarios.
