Stalling In BJJ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Stalling is a BJJ foul that is pretty self-explanatory. It’s where a competitor is not actively trying to get to a better position or attempt a submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally, you’re giving a warning for the first instance of stalling. But if you keep stalling, you will get points deducted or even be disqualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
