And the angled walls are... Yeah, so Karate Kombat have a square pit, right? We have a rectangular alley. We like the visual of just you're in the alley with someone. We both know what goes on an alley. There's only a couple of things that could go on back there. What's the second thing? Never mind. I got it.

But why this is brilliant, why the angled walls are brilliant for grappling, is because any grappling tournament, this goes without question, goes IBJJF, ADCC. The reset is one of the most annoying aspects of the sport, and one of the aspects of the sport that some of the sneakier guys take advantage of. There's guys out there that are brilliant at playing the edge.

Open the ref or reset him, or they'll shoot a takedown near the edge. And you might watch, and again, I'm picking on ADCC here, but you might watch an ADCC match where 90 seconds of a 10-minute match is the referee grabbing them, bringing them back to the center, or trying to recreate something interesting of a position that landed outside.

Not only is that sort of boring to me, and it sort of could be bias. Again, it's happened to me in events where the ref's gone, stop, I've stopped, he's moved a little bit more, and then there's an adjustment in the reset I mean, it's cheating to a certain extent. It's just more of an annoyance. They bring it back. They reset it to the best of their ability in the center.

The angled wall mitigates that. And it mitigates it in such a way that is a disadvantage to be pushed up against the angled wall. You're very easily taken down against the angled wall. You could use a cage like the UFC does or any sort of MMA organization cage. However, cage wrestling can be slow. You're obviously at the vertical and it can stagnate there.

Guys are very good at using split squats to really defend that position. For me personally, I don't love the cage for grappling. I'd like to differentiate it for grappling. What holds people back from using the alley or a pit-like structure is the viewing, the viewing angle. Because obviously if you're one of the VIPs or you pay for an expensive seat, that angled wall's above you.

A cage you can see into, an elevated platform sort of stage you can see clearly into because it's basically flat. But the athletes could fall off and injure themselves. So if something happens to UFC fire passes, the elevated flat stage It's kind of scary to be near the edge. You go off, you're going to land on concrete. You might want to do that to the other guy if you're that way inclined.
