Combat Jiujitsu

Has anyone seen Combat Jiujitsu where they are allowing palm strikes?

It's more of a rules change than anything else. From what I saw of the competitions, the palm strikes are more slaps than anything else and can only be done when someone is one the ground. From what I can infer, Bravo (the creator) got jaded with the current rule set of BJJ tournaments and felt this was a purer way of doing bouts. I can see where he's coming from, and have no loyalty either way. Otherwise, it looks like BJJ.

You're correct, but it does point up certain flaws.

I never really liked the De La Riva guard because I'd seen someone get knocked out while in that particular guard in combat jiu-jitsu.
