pbody -Kron was an early adopter of using the lapel. He uses it to sweep Buchecha in the opening scramble of their match back in 2012.

I got hurt just watching that, bad ass. And Buchecha fought most of that with one hand after snapping his fingers back in.
Red Stuff - My most egregious use of the gi is trapping the arm with the lapel when in north-south kimura position. And that's only when I need a break.
This is the line for me for lapel usage. Not a fan of trapping arms, or getting exotic chokes with the lapel. Worm guard is of course way over the line for me.
checkuroil -shen -Honestly, if you don't do Worm Guard, you don't do jiu jitsu. It's that important.
It's so important that I created a line of Jitz-inspired urban clothing called "L@pelz". Basically, the latest urban fashions, with long lapels sewn into them.
If shit goes sideways, you better believe I'm using some Worm Guard.
Like I say: I dont "play" Worm Guard, but I use it all the time. 'Cause when I use worm guard.. I ain't playing.
Can I PayPal you
Sorry, but sources tell me PayPal is not gonna be around much longer.
So, I only accept my own cryptocurrency, Shencoin.
jkd4200 -Fast Pitch -Why? You use the lapels for other stuff. Why ignore 50% of the lapel?
That part of the lapel is used all the time.
Its simply the way it is being used that is so ridiculous.
100% of the lapel is used in bjj.
OK Mr. No Fun
