when people say "roll" on this board in reference to fighting, it usually means "to wrestle" or applying some kind of groundfighting technique

i know what "rolling" means, but i thought he was talking about trying to actually sommersault out of the way of the tackle. i thought this because it sounded like he didn't want the guillotine because it put him on the ground.
and yes, i know that telling a grappler not to grapple is pointless, and one should play to their strengths, but i still think you should stay off the ground whenever possible. even the best grapplers know that it's stupid to go straight to the ground. rickson gracie said that if he was faced with a weapon or multiple opponents, he'd either use his .45 or run. real life is not a game or a match, and that's why bjj is #1 for matches but leaves a lot to be desired for self defense.
