delicious bass - It's just illegal for blue and purple right? And isn't it only positions trying to bury their head into the mat with head on outside in a dynamic way? Curious.
Paul, blue and up will be DQ'ed. Juvenile and white will be reset in a neutral position.
Thanks for contacting IBJJF. We have no changes yet. We will publish all changes together in few weeks. Please, keep checking our website or facebook page.
I remember a few years ago Megaton talking about a few guys who broke their necks getting spiked from a head-outside sumi-gaeshi used to counter a single leg. I wonder if there were more serious injuries and they finally decided to make a rule change.
All complains aside, sport BJJ still isn't crippled by rules as much as judo. Yet.

to me that seems backwards, if you follow the IBJJF's logic through it's the whitebelts who need to be dq'd as they're more likely to injure each other than coloured belts
Yea the whole thing is crazy, I think a better solution is to make a head outside single illegal, but I'm just reporting the rules that I have been told will 100% be introduced this year.
"Shemhazai , 10 1 day ago Joined: 8/27/08 Posts: 986 What about the switch from the same position? Or just dropping back for a guillotine? All of these counters have spiking potential.
Maybe people will have to start countering head outside singles with Georgian grip uchi mata now."
What are you calling a Georgian grip uchi mata? Do you have a link or a pic?
what about the sakuraba style kimura sumi geishi starting from a rear clinch ? is that ok as it's not a single leg counter
Knowing the IBJJF, they will insist that this variation is still OK. Even though it results in the exact same throw. Then they will change their mind in a couple of years.
