(i have also very strong legs*)
Wow how specular: this guy who attacked me nearly by surprise went to the hospital...I even thought that it was some kind of the joke (before the era of internet).
And your technique looks just like something like that
Then i could write write and write again, it's useless since... i've never experienced something like that irl...

This has Zero on what I am talking about. I do know this leg sweep, I have used it, but not my choice move for anything street. I don't use it in trading hardly ever Do to high risk of knee injuries from other students wanting to try it after I do it; keeps me from even using it in a group class situation.
I have so many other options that I would prefer over this one. But thats the beauty of having 24 years experience in BJJ and MMA; Choices!! I always have the Right tool for the right job!!

Would never choose this as something to do on the street. Keeping it basic is definitely the right choice on the street. Those "pull guard arm quick bars" and flying arm bars are pretty easy basic stuff. Any one with 6 month trying can do them. and anyone who has trained 6 month can fall right and can feel+predict how the ground hit is going to feel.
There are so many moves I choose not to do when on concrete fighting on concrete. I will use a shit ton of Judo and greco wrestling over freestyle wrestling when looking for a take down in the clinch. Judo and Greco are a lot of uper body throws. Very effective in the clinch.
Single legs and double legs you will scratch your knees on the concrete every time(Which I have done, Sux!). Ruin your pants every time. Thats why I choose not to use the when on concrete.

And so am I.
I trained compatibly in Kick boxing and western boxing before I ever gotten into BJJ. I have gotten into the ring at my prime with 135 and 145 pound pro boxers and muay thai guys for sparing and gotten my ass whooped!! I mean whooped!! All of my strength and size was completely useless when we were on our feet.
I am excellent at wrestling and trained a lot of wrestling with All American level college wrestlers, Olympic level wrestlers weighing 165 and gotten dumped off of my feet 35 to 1 times. Was way bigger and way stronger, didn't seem to matter. Was very discouraging at times. Their techniques and their speed nullified everything I had when we were on our feet. When we hit the ground, it was all me!! Would get the submissions within a minute.
Why is this?? Because the guys I trained with in boxing, wrestling, muay thai were all experts within their respective art. When your that much better than your opponent thats across from you, size and streanght absolutely does not matter.
Once again this is not something I read or "Thought", it is something I did and spent a great deal of time doing.
Randomly:
Here is something I found online. This is a video of my buddy Jon Marsh doing a challenge match with some Karate Clown. There was absolutely no rules! Biting, growing shots and eye gouges were allowed. This clip was very real. There was 10k on this fight. Each side put up 10K to see who would win.
John wins by snapping the arm and shoulder of the other guy to end it. Johns face was all scratched up, because of the eye gouge attacks.
This is a perfect example of this karate guys theory not quite working out the way he "Told" everyone it would. He talked about it, wrote about it and bragged about it; 10K down, One broken arm+shoulder later, he learned that his theory was wrong.
