The wall flip escape isn’t allowed in most Brazilian jiu-jitsu gyms. Not only do most schools forgo training them because there are no walls in BJJ tournaments, but most instructors don’t want you scuffing up their walls with your dirty feet.
MMA fights, however, do have walls (technically a cage, but same idea). Street fights sometimes happen in places with walls, too. For these reasons, it’s good to know how to use the wall to your advantage.
