Gogoplata from Rubber Guard

[lilrobertt]

Im beter

[gottaLOVEBrazJJ]

been using this technique lately, pretty effective from the rubber guard

[airsoftsamtheman]

my jiujitsu teacher said to bring the foot towards you and straighten out you leg, but when i tried it i didnt do it that good can someone explain to me in full detail every little important movement to get the gogoplata

[RlyFlyAznGuy]

My brother and I grapple and mess around every once in a while and his weight always is a factor in getting me on my back, I tried this just for the hell of it (never did it or practiced it before but I watched this video) and it worked!

[shovaLkariti]

Nice =]

[TWENEER5]

which one is easier to exexute triangle or gogo?

[JuJietsuFoo]

<3 This technique thanks =]

[xadamxful]

woulds you just foot lock yourself when he leans back 

[Maksio]

i was wondering how to squeeze it tighter against the neck, didnt though about the toe haha, thatnks a lot!

[razzark666]

I love how you start by showing the technique at full speed before breaking down the motions... Every instructional video (in almost any topic) should be done this way!

[DntlB]

nice. I've just got back from JiuJitsu practice and this is a pretty high percentage move for me, although not as high percentage as my triangle choke

[DonutsRGreat]

I tried using this technique, and i got a novice with it. but for someone who gable grips their hands as a defense from the zombie, i don't know what to work from their

[SHMIBLY]

ari, when i go for this move i seem to do everything right but i cant seem to secure my foot under his neck, what am i doing wrong??

[Tanner8787]

When you're in chill dog, can the other guy just lift his head out, or is his arm on the mat keeping him from doing that?

[TorryHoltFan]

i used this technique while rolling today, but i did it differently.

my right leg was over the neck, did all the steps, and instead of reaching around to grab my toes i had my right arm go over my shin, while my left arm went under and i gable gripped behind his neck.

so i was able to pull his head with the grip while still pushing my shin up with my left bicep, and he tapped, but does my way leave me more vunerable to any kind of reversal/escape?

[imcnblu]

another technique i like, is another variation of the gogoplata where i take my opposite leg (the one NOT under the chin) and wing it over his head, and take an arm and grab my ankle, cranking it back. the partner REALLY has to fall into it. it could be escaped fairly easily if the opponent is of a higher caliber. requires a lot of flexibility, and a lot of setting up. pretty hard to get into, but if cinched, there isn't much you can do about it.

[mymomsatroll]

The people who get slamed u have to do it fast or just stand up when he's about to slam u and go for leg sweep and get in his guard and slam him

[AdrUnltd]

Man, I wanna switch to 10th Planet now..

[Ram1992D]

i know this is not the straight jacket video... but why can't your opponent escape/ stand up when you apply pressure to the straight jacket from rubber guard? thanks.

[tovasti123]

HOW TO PASS RUBBER GUARD???

I have always that problem when im training!!!!

[cragzzz]

I just get slammed out of this. All the time.

[khazal12]

@cragzzz this isnt the only way to do a gogoplata from chilldog. if you keep geting slammed out of this, instead of holding on to your own foot, you could grab the back of his head with both hands and pull down, forcing his neck into your shin. if you're getting slammed, im assuming the guys legs are posted up like wrestling sortof stance like when rampage slams people. this is why the foot on the hip is important,. if he's posting up his legs you can go for a sweep instead. altho maybe not

[cragzzz]

Thanks for the advice man. My problem is that no matter where I put my hands, my most common rolling partner tends to just post up and slam as I'm trying to finish. He can lift my whole bodyweight with virtually just his neck. I don't understand his freakish strength because he weighs the same as me

[2StepMurder]

will you have to worry about the other arm that is free? Or is it going to be shin+arm Vs there arm?

[hooah91]

@2StepMurder i know ur comments like a month old but if they defend the gogo with ther arm either the straight jacket or wicked gogoplata are sweet counter moves to them blocking the gogo with there arm

[stinkypete14]

@hooah91 the sorcerer is a great option when they grab the foot

[westbrookfan2]

watch the wicked gogplata thats what to do if he grabs ur foot

[KickBoxer145]

Really good move but do not try it if you have shin pads on (for people doing amateur mma fights) i fought yesterday and tried it but the guy had to much space because of the damn pads.. anyways really good submission

[spnkthru]

I train gi w/john machado and use this technique all the time.....increase your flexibility people and learn from multiple systems people....it works, I've tapped a bunch of people with this move - i love it

[Submissions101]

Love that you have an open mind (the Machado's are all very open minded BJJ teachers by the way!)

[GuamKomudo]

I would agree, I don't think any system is incorrect, the more you know, the better you will be. Wrestling, Judo, Jujitsu, whatever, can all complement eachother nicely =)

[thhcool]

tdawson32 please shut your mouth if you didn't try this move ever. I am sure that you couldn't tryout this move because you're not flexible enough. I tried gogoplata just like this video shows, and got the tap from 2 really good guys. I understand that you think it is easy to pull out but actually it is very hard to escape. Gogoplata used by nate diaz is just another option.

[freesalesman]

thhcool i completely agree with you, i was reading his comment and was like bullshit lol, iv been practicing and stretching with rubber gaurd for around 4 months now and i am now flexible enough to do it comfortably

[tdawson32]

i understand... that was jus my opinion of that variation of the gogo...and yea i have tried the move and yes i am flexible enough lol i was taking into consideration the people i roll and train with and my general mma experiences. i look at it from a fighting standpoint not necessarily a straight jiu jitsu approach. i appreciate the feed back from peoples experiences with it tho

[rikardin]

Nick Diaz*

[Elias9900]

this is one of my favorite submissions i use it almost every day

[tdawson32]

i really dont think that gogo is legit....i mean he would have to put some type of pressure on the back of the head or he could easily slip out...personally watch nate diaz vs gomi ...that is a sick gogo my friends

[Submissions101]

I've used this many, many times as have many fighters from countless gyms. The problem is when people comment via you tube on what they think without testing the moves in live fire situations is "I don't think it can work" comments. There are many versions of moves and one should have an open mind and know that no move works on all people all the time....that is why there are variations! Train hard...good luck!

[imcnblu]

@Submissions101

agreed. this is probably my favorite submission maneuver. let alone my favorite rubber guard based submission. I have had 2 wins using the gogoplata similar to how diaz performed it. i find i can put better leverage by overlapping my leg and pulling down on the head when clasping hands. it just seems a LOT harder to get out of it. at least from my end, it does. i'm a big fan of your vids, very instructional and very helpful.

[BlackCat1J]

@tdawson32 Nate or Nick? Nick Diaz's gogoplata against Takanori Gomi was coupled with Crackhead Control, another position in the 10th planet system. Different people use different variations, depending upon the situation; at the end of the day, we know that the system works. I wouldn't expect one video to cover all the different variations on gogoplata in the world.

[airsoftsamtheman]

@tdawson32 nick diaz

[lmswrestlingbeast]

im new to bbj/mma sorry for my ignorance but why do you grab your toe instead of the back of his head and pull down?

[FightrForLife]

I'm sure you've already gotten a reply, but just in case:

You can do either, as a variation to the existing move. They both work (I've done it either way).

[gmiscoolyo]

keeps his head from slipping out of the side when ur sweaty and stuff its easy to slip out of stuff that isnt tight also it makes it work faster

[jsltm888]

Hey Ari, just a question. What happens when every time you go for the gogoplata, the guy turns his head the other way, and slips his arm out? What can you do to prevent this, and/or go to a more advantageous position?

[JPR1993]

one question, whats the difference between the "rubber guard" and the guard?

[Drogba2108]

JPR: Watch the normal guard and then the rubber guard. You will find out that in normal guard down, you wrap your legs around opponents back, here you have your left/right foot down by the back and then the other up around the neck area, holding that tight with the opposite arm. Sais a guy who have never trained Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu before, only on internet and MMA/UFC/PRIDE games/events. ME. Now if anybody will correct me, ill be happy. Starting at BJJ ASAP, but im only twelve years.

[DelloLFC]

dont put your foot on his back put your lose foot pushing his hips so he cant push in

[Jeano777]

This guy is very flexible

[danpats1]

how do you keep your opponent from passing your other leg? that keeps happening to me whenever i get to mission control.

[KrayzieA22]

You're not squeezing your knees together. Don't leave your other leg loose. When you're in mission control: ALWAYS SQUEEZE YOUR KNEES TOWARDS EACH OTHER!

[AjaxHammer6]

woudnt it work better if you mission control with your left leg too after you kung fu? because my friend easily breaks my grip i have on my toes.

[MichaelBjj]

Yea that would work well. Its kinda like the invisible collar. I find that all you have to do though is not reach around to your toe, instead just pull the back of their head down. That help?

[Bukado93]

10th planet has opened my eyes to just how much you can do on the ground! Thanks for these vids.

[thejunglefever]

i tried this recently, i got to kung fu move [i was rolling with a blue belt] and he protected his neck with his chin; i was trying to muscle him around to get him to open his neck, but i couldnt. from there should i just bail and go to jiu claw?

[alejandro0p0]

bless you for the videos, you guys know your moves..

[gordonnapier]

What about a flying gogoplata and gogoplata as a defence to shoot?

[jyakin]

That was a sweet gogo, I've only been in brazilian jiujitsu for bout 6 months but they are not showing me the rubber guard, should I go elsewhere because i love grappling. and I really think the rubber guard could be useful for me.

[Submissions101]

Every school is different and the instructors will show you what they thing is right. Have fun with it and play around with the RG when you have time. You can do BJJ and 10thP ;-)

[ninjiujitsu1]

jyakin, theres no rubber gaurd stuff in gracie jiu jitsu which is what i do...

so if ur doing gracie jitz then u wont learn rubber gaurd stuff, thats eddie bravo style not gracie style.

[JinsukeHP]

Well the techniques are right here. I'd assume you roll at your school. Practice it then.

[chekbin]

some bjj (gracie) wont teach rubber guard because bravo invented it and bravo beat a gracie. I train at a gracie barra school and saying eddie bravo is like wearing a btt gi to class

[Submissions101]

Strange because this is def not the case for all Gracie Barra schools. I JUST trained at one and the guys were super welcoming and open minded. Had a fantastic time and I am a 10th Planet guy rolling in a GI glass with them.The only way to get better is have an open mind in order to push beyond the limits of convention.

[chekbin]

cant comment on all gracie barra's so i imagine some like you say are different but my instructors dont teach rubber guard & not bravo fans. Nice to hear back from you keep up the good work.

[frogman32]

is that why they don't teach Kimuras either?

because that's how the late Helio was defeated?

keep an open mind brother

people hate on Eddie for some lame reasons

[GuamKomudo]

If they lost by rubber guard, wouldn't they want to train it as much as possible so that never happens again??? =P haha

[jerkpork82]

dude. i use to think that using a gogoplata was really impractical because your opponent can feel the leg coming up and know a gogo or omoplata is coming. you have to do it quick, but i pulled it off, and when you do it is an instant tap. i was actually slightly afraid because the guy made the most intense choking noise i have ever heard in my life. all you need is the reps and youve got this move.

[abadakid]

wow!!!!!!!!!!! ill learn alot

[DaUsher]

Submissions...the only time when men hugging each other isn't gay...I love it!

[demolayakp]

what kind of exercises or stretching do you do to get the ability to do the rubber guard?

[StereoSkater]

It takes a lot of flexibility in your hips and knees. I would suggest just googling different stretching techniques or just go buy one of Eddie Bravo's book or videos. I highly recommend 'Mastering the Rubber Guard' :)

[vrumzy]

what if the guy uses his free arm to push against your chest? I tried this and my friend did that to break the gogoplata

[jimmymatt]

locoplata

you keep him held tight to you, take your free hand and grab his wrist and push it back, keep your other hand on the back of his head, bring your back leg up, and push on the bottom of your heel with it

[gera3999]

sick move

[gtbeast23]

can you easily transition to an omoplata?

[Flyup7]

yes very easily. Most people will usually be defending the gogo plata by grabbing a piece of clothing when you are trying to go to new york. Let them hold onto the clothing.the arm is already bent for an easy kimura if you were in a different position so you can just drop your shin under their neck and make it look like a gogo plata. and drop your shin under. They will think you dont have it. And that's when you transition to the omoplata or triangle or w/e

[gtbeast23]

thnx alot!

[zel2113]

got it in class today, I'm really happy also it was the first time I put someone in the rubber guard. I feel strange because nobody else does any 10th planet stuff in class.

[RobH86]

Don't think I have the flexibility to pull it off. A friend of mine pulled one from mount on a beginner like Aoki's one. Bit harsh on a beginner I think lol.

[nacadius]

quick question...whats mission contol and zombie and new york? or am i just hearing things?

[Submissions101]

This are position names (stages) within the rubber guard. Pick up Mastering the Rubber Guard by Eddie Bravo and it will explain everything there.

[nacadius]

ahhh thank you, i was just a little confused because these names arent used in all of the demo videos ive seen from you guys.

great videos by the way :)

[redboxer555]

lol i know wtf!

[MCDWREK]

I hope they haven't banned it because Grapplers Quest in NJ is on Saturday and if I see an opportunity im going for it.

[efleischer]

dude love you guys but you talk too fast bro when we try to drill your moves its like listenin to micro machines guy ....neway great joj

[Dudongo86]

I hope not Dave.

[Submissions101]

I hope not either. I find that BJJ comps are becoming more and more watered down. It is a shame really.

[BakaYaru13]

Same thing happened to kodokan judo. It gets more and more watered down, so more people will participate. The only way to keep the old ways alive is to be sure your dojo stays rough.

[Davebjj]

I hear that they have banned the gogoplata from

competition. It supposedly puts to much strain on the wind pipe. Thats aleast what they were telling us on Saturday at the Salvosa BJJ tourny in Toronto this weekend at the MMA Expo

sick move though

[vivekananth1991]

actually we cant do this in terrain region right?

[DeadZoneHALO]

Hey, it could double as a choke and a crank.

[johnawesome]

awesome move... but it requires someone w/high flexibility to pull it off. i made a mistake going for this move during training w/o warming up with some stretches... as a result, i popped my own knee trying to get the move down. it wasn't severe or anything, but enough for my knee to feel some major sprain-age for a few weeks.

[vginawhisperer]

I noticed that you adopted the double ankle sleeves a la The Twister.

[ononorthey]

Really nice to have that slow mo at the end Ari. Thanks

[traumadoe]

This is my favorate submission! I have yet to close the deal on it while rolling but hey, I keep trying.

[noestabien]

I like the edit of this one. Good job guys!

[ianedwards19]

but at 40 secs is when he pulls up and you cant get the gogoplatta

[vginawhisperer]

Well, that's when you give up and quit BJJ forever.

[UncleMowglie]

well u still get the sweep and are in a better position.

[DarknessDragon0X]

Submissions 101, could you do the alternate version of the Gogoplata with the rubber guard?

[PizzaHutEmployee]

submissions 101 has my vote !!!!!!! your video's are great for learning guys , might i ad that you guys are getting alot of laymen into jiu jitsu ... NICE

[MCDWREK]

Any chance this would be called a neck crank during a competition because you don't have his arm in there?

[AGogoplata]

Nice.

[nightshroudis]

absolutely one of my favourite move

i try it everytime i roll

[tattypatty]

I could watch you dudes all day.Any opinion about CSW?

[Submissions101]

Thanks. We think that CSW has a lot to offer and Eric Pulson is a great grappler. It is just a variation of the many grappling styles out there (with its own philosophical viewpoint) and like Jiu jitsu, has a lot to offer, as does judo, sambo, JJJ, BJJ and of course 10PJJ! ;-)

[RonnieTalamaivao]

Do you guys have a video of the Gogoplata from standing ?

[ookamiwarrior]

Very tight, awesome stuff. You break it down step by step perfectly.

[rubixxcube]

so what does the zombie, new york,mission control stuff mean?????

[Submissions101]

Get Eddie Bravo's book. These names are just stages in the move.

[PhilBalogne]

good vid. is this move also called a locoplata?

[Submissions101]

No. A locoplata is when I place the sole of my foot on the heel of my other foot and push against it to add pressure.

[kingdomhearts9892]

i love the gogoplata

[Noyjeetut]

Awesome video. Sad to see Dante attempt this last night when he had no chance to get it.

[matt357]

can you show the judo lock i saw in your vid with eddie bravo and mabye some judo throws into gaurd like fedor uses?

[TomSallt]

So is this a respiratory choke, like putting pressure on his "adam's apple"? Or what is it that you are trying to achieve?

[francisj1]

my favorite....

[Levrof]

Once your right leg crosses over his left shoulder is it possible to go for an arm bar of sorts if you feel the gogoplata wont work? I just ask because it looks like his left arm is almost hyper extended and trapped.

[Submissions101]

Just wait for our a next video (the straight jacket) and you'll see a arm lock.

[racerhex311]

bothe straight jacket and the go go are my go to rubber guard moves. :) cant wait for the video!

[stafax]

sweet, now I can finally convince my boss into giving me a raise!

[attilled]

aw-some!

[dtojdedj]

good

[Chaos1443]

ahhh i aint that flexible

[GoldAK47]

uffffffff!!!! some next level shit there! Great choke

[peacemaker281]

Very effective another great one Ari!

[wasala12]

awesome man
