I was told today that knee on belly is a show off move, and is considered being disrespectful. I had never heard this before. Well is it?

Most of the time Id say no but it can occassionally be used to put someone in their place if they piss you off.

Uhhhhhh.....no. If it was a dick move, then why award points for the specific move in tournaments? Whoever told you that needs to get their panties smoothed out. |

If there were any time a position was a bit "showy" was being on top position during turtle and putting both knees on their back sort of surfing on the guy. :P |

I think he meant the andre galvao incident where he body surfed the other guy for trying a heel hook.

It can definitely be used as a way to punish someone or put them in their place.

I had a black belt get pissed at me for going knee on belly on him a few months back. I think the guy was a little off though. Same night he tried to fight a white belt that dove for a heelhook on him. |

People who complain about pressure in jiu jitsu are whiny bitches and should stick to point karate. In the words of Rob Kahn: "It's FIGHT training. Smash him!!!"

I only stay in knee on belly when I'm dealing with spazzes so I assume if someone were to hold me in kob they aren't showing off. They're just angry at me.
