What is the difference between sport BJJ and self-defense BJJ?

self defensecompetition

Sport BJJ optimizes for competition rules - pulling guard, playing positions that would be dangerous in a fight, ignoring strikes. Self-defense BJJ assumes punches are coming, avoids being on bottom on concrete, and prioritizes positions where you can disengage safely. Both share the same techniques but apply them differently.
