You touched on an important detail. Little gloves or no gloves really changes the dynamics of blocks and defense tactics up the middle.A lot of the wall stuff is now very technical.
A lot of the wrestling meta over BJJ meta.
Use of rides. The dagastani hand cuff being the more famous one.
The use of fancy kicking, not just the question mark or the oblique kicks. But just a step up in kicking intelligence.
Calf kicking.
The striking with little gloves. And therefore the covering head movement angles and distances.
This is a good video to showcase the methods being attempted during a sparring match.
