Submission vs. Points

One thing I have noticed about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions is that many people ride out the clock to win on points. In my eyes this goes against what Helio Gracie's visions were for BJJ. Although I realize he never really wanted it to become the "sport" that it is today, BJJ is essentialy self defense and the sport aspect is just a bonus. Watching many people compete this weekend its scary how many people get a takedown, and then preceed to stall the entire match to squeak by one points! Submission is the name of the game, it signifies total defeat and it leaves your opponent with no excuses. I am happy to say out of the 19 wins I have accumulated I submitted 17 of my opponents. I have only won on points one time, and a decision for the other non-sub victory. Go for the SUB!!!
