    I feel like the point you are making here is at the heart of the conflict between "sport bjj" and "self defense bjj": not having to defend strikes makes for a completely different game, it almost looks like a different martial art

    The shoulder pin is not that effective because the top guy will just limp arm out. I've seen it done a couple times in MMA. Good old fashioned wrist/bicep control and an overhook is the best trapping system in my opinion.

    How about Tim Elliot's trap guarding? It's very unique.

    Mealnson's book is out of production. I hope this vid creates enough demand to get a few more copies pressed.

    No credit due for Wing Chun? Hand fighting into sweeps and foot locks can be very utilitarian.
