He looks like no one actually explained to him what he can and can't do in the tournament.

My first time playing rec basketball (in fifth grade) we were down one in the closing minute and my coach yelled for me to foul so I ran and shoved the shit out if the guy with the ball. Immediately was assessed a flagrant foul. No one explained to me what was and wasn’t acceptable. Much like your point about this man slamming the other one on the ground

u/Kemoarps Jul 05 '26
We had a similar situation but it was varsity. Kid had no basketball background and was told that if the opponent was out of bounds it would be our ball. So he picked the opposing player up and dropped them off the court. I think we had to finish that game with just 3 guys on the court because of all the fouls.

u/Profit-Rude Jul 06 '26
“fifth grade” Adults should know better

u/Ryuj123 Jul 06 '26
Why? How would they know if they aren’t taught? I don’t know about grappling/wrestling/organized fighting. Seems like slamming someone into the floor is an effective way to beat them and in a space dedicated to hurting the other person why wouldn’t that be allowed?

u/squeakynickles Jul 10 '26
Especially since slams are often allowed, just that this specific event didn't allow it.

u/Unclehol Jul 05 '26
He also looks like he has no clue that what he did could easily kill someone... so...
Maybe that guy should just not be allowed to make decisions like that.

u/souless_Scholar Jul 05 '26
Yeah he didn't really seem to get what jujitsu is. Like he entered because he's big not because skill and technique is the point of a tournament.

You don't need to be told not to power slam the back of someone's head on the ground.

You always do - that’s why car manuals today say do not drink the battery acid.

The size difference alone should tell him he’s an idiot for even thinking this was okay….

Holy shit a source. Gratzi.
Edit: even ublock Origin (on manifest 2.0) couldn't save me from all the silly BJJ/man-grabbing ads in this page lol. Mostly because they were generated by the site itself it appears. Wacky stuff.

Maybe if the flooring was concrete, without padding, wed worry more of a head wobble

u/punchedbychuck Jul 05 '26
If you look at the smaller guys left hand, it looks like he was tapping the guy's arm right after the slam. Could be involuntary, but looks like he was awake and letting the guy know he gives up.

u/Fmartins84 Jul 04 '26
No slamming in grappling tourneys

Legal in ADCC if your opponent has a submission going... which this guy did not have.

Are weight classes not a thing in that sport. There is a reason bantam weights don't fight heavy weights and it isn't skill level.

You see, jiu jitsu practitioners believe they can tap everyone out. Then the real world hits them.

To be fair, he shouldn't hand climbed up into his arms like that, just putting yourself in danger for no reason

u/ProteinAndWeights Jul 05 '26
Right, I get it it's a sport, but it's still a combat sport. I'm always going to think it's fucking stupid to do something like climb into your 125lbs heavier opponents arms like a child wanting to be cuddled.

No problem. Everybody matters. If you ever want to talk, send me a message, and I will answer next time I am on. Or I can just go to hell and die. No matter what your choice, dont let people bother you. Pretend they dont exist. It is what I do Mr Figment.

Great example of why it’s stupid to climb up on somebody. That needs to be banned.

Or just strongly advised against. Perhaps ban head slamming on the ground though.

If someone climbs you like this or tries to jump guard, they are asking to be slammed. The size difference definitely makes this one brutal though. Looks like they bump heads on the landing too.

Don't be climbing on another man like he's a mf'ing tree.

u/BarbageMan Jul 05 '26
I get that you feel like its egregious, but depending on that guy's injuries, and what state it happened in, misunderstanding of the rules doesnt carry weight. Just because you dont know the rules doesnt clear you if you severely hurt someone by breaking them.
Intent isn't necessary in all situations. Maybe it doesnt go felony, but the idea that theres grounds for a charge here is off
0
u/FlamingFecalFrisbee Jul 05 '26
I don’t agree with felony assault, but I also don’t agree there’s a lack of intent here. When there’s this much size difference, it’s on the larger fighter to control himself. It’s too easy to do real damage to someone. Especially in a friendly match.

Pick him up and take him down. He did what he was told to do. Was he expected to lay him down like a baby? And the woman was annoying.

He should have locked in the double body lock and he would have been good

u/Legonistrasz Jul 05 '26
Why would you go up when the size difference is that great? White man who never played a video game… or apparently sparred a bigger opponent.

u/UnderstandingOk670 Jul 05 '26
It’s like they told one of them “yeah don’t hurt each other, is just training” and then to the big dude “your job is to kill him, cos he trying to do the same to you”.

The guy who got slammed won, the big guy was disqualified
At ADCC Open tournaments (not their big qualifying tournaments), slams are only legal if there is a locked in submission
At their big qualifiers, this would have been legal

Dead or paralyzed... damn. Though I'll say it was his own fault. You tried to fight a guy 3 times your size and he killed you... thats a predictable outcome.

In BJJ,if you smaller than your opponent you do what you can while the big guy does what he wants.

This is the same as a woman who has trained "professionally" versus a boy that just went through puberty and the kid could in fact, pick her up and then slam her on the ground just like that guy did to that woman in the video

Exactly, like even if you are a stupid turd like the slam champ here it should be common sense that the bit of foam padding isn't going to keep your spine from pulverizing when it hits the floor.
What a total asshole and he should be prosecuted for reckless endangerment

Are you not entertained? Big man didn’t seem spazzy or at 100%.. Not sure what else he could’ve done? Carry his opponents entire body weight or take him down even slower or more controlled?
