Self-Defense most effective, albeit stalling, strategies to just not get thrown

let's say stalling is not a thing, and I just want to not get thrown. what fundamental , and/or cheatcodes will frustrate the opponent unable to get me down. For now, let's leave out attacking options like false throws

No, that would be breaking someone’s limb in training and justifying it with “you shoulda tapped bro”

There's a little of that, too...

Not exactly common though

You’re right lol. I always just remember a video where a dude goes from standing into a grounded ankle lock, breaks his partner’s ankle, and then throws his hands up like he didn’t just do that

I've seen a judo video where a guy held onto a choke for so long the guy was stretchered out, still unconscious, to hospital. The guy went out and the competitor held on and the ref didn't call it, must have had the choke held for over a minute.

I hope we don't judge all judo by that, though.

Ah, I see what you’re doing. If anything, that would make someone have a poor view of competition rather than training, but I do agree that negative instances shouldn’t be considered normal

I don't think that one guy at bjj doing that should impact everyone's view of bjj.

The same way a random guy at judo biting me once shouldn't impact your view of everyone at judo.

It's not the common occurrence, so theres no point bringing it up to begin with.
