About the differences between Brazilian jiu Jitsu for sports and for self-defense.

The fundamental difference is that in Brazilian jiu jitsu applied to self-defense, the aim is to play on top and never pull guard.

The fundamental objective is control and submission with the least possible damage.

That's why strangulations such as the Mata Leon and The Arm Triangle are especially effective.

In the non-sport context the difference is that although punches and kicks can be applied, they are not the fundamental objective of Brazilian jiu jitsu. In case of applying them, the idea is to distract or generate openings in the opponent to gain control or finishing positions without causing injuries. In this sense, two of the safest and least damaging submissions are the Mata leon and Kata gatame.
