Rubber Gaurd 1of3

[jamesellis33]

Its good to see other ppl talking about jiu jitsu, ppl say all I do is talk about jiu jitsu, but they talk about their shitty football and stupid ass baseball all day. I feel i'm alone in liking this stuff. I hate how this art doesn't get the respect it deserves. bjj ftw!

[ooogooman]

This is motherfucking brilliant. Are there any explanations of similar lucidity and completeness for other, non 10th-Planet-specific guards, like classic closed guard?

[karimbo92]

be sure to go to 10thplanetjj(DOT)com

and sign up to the forum, a really helpful and respectful environment for learning more about the 10th planet system.

all the main guys post there too :)

[emanresu81]

is it true that Eddie invented this guard?

[glassjaw890]

@emanresu81 No, Nino Schembri did. Eddie just elaborated on it greatly...

[Scouserrrr08]

I never would have thought of controlling a guys posture with your legs

I have Mastering Rubberguard dvd set.... its great, i highly recommend it

[scmdrewx08x]

You can buy the 3 dvd set mastering the rubber guard, or the book. But these 3 videos are great. I would really like to hear from some rubber guard users, hit me up, so we can exchange info on how to tighten our game up.

[newforce3]

where can i buy all these lessons on DVD?

[loocoot]

from his website

[mikemo346]

lol did he say "Or throw a rear naked choke"?

beacuse to my knowledge you cant really do a rear naked choke from there :p

[Kawlinz]

He just means the RNC grip, you duplicate that grip to keep them broken down.

[mikemo346]

oh alright thanks man:p

[jarrad888]

But he's Eddy Bravo. He's the only guy to pull a rear naked choke from guard. hahaha the chuck norris of bjj!

[scmdrewx08x]

I use rubber guard. Let's be honest, YES, you have to be very flexiable to make it work. It will work some with a guy that is only a little flexiable, but such a person would be much better off playing a more conventional guard. To make this guard truly effective you need to at least be able to get your knees to the floor in the butterfly stretch. Any questions about rubber guard you can ask me, I love it and play it all the time.

[novan08]

I think the accepted "test" is getting the leg behind your head. butterfly stretch is a tad different. Im sure both will be benificial.

[knowles27]

Does anybody know if the rubber guard is only effective if your extremely flexible?

[kronichee]

the basis is to be flexible. you need a certain amount of prerequisite flexibility for this guard. but it's worth it.

[knowles27]

Thats what I thought. I found it really difficult to move my foot close to my chest for the gogoplata.

[xeogen]

Well, you don't have to be EXTREMELY flexible, but the more flexible you are, the more effective it is.

[sublime2248]

bravo smokes so much pot i love it lol

[9Deja9vu9]

The jew claw.... lmao

[RedxDragon]

lol wow. well i think its actually pronounced

"jiu claw".

[Flex4545]

I think it really is "Jew Claw", it's a reference to the movie Borat.

[MakeABanana]

Nah, it's "Jiu Claw" but you are right that it's a reference to the Jew Claw in Borat skits.

[allBthere]

what is the rubber guard? is 'mission control' and 'rubber guard' interchangeable terms?

[gouldjy]

keep watching and youll figure it out

[eastcoastprodigy3234]

mission control is the term used when you're in rubber guard, it's when your heel is on the back of his neck and you have your wrist around your ankle

[egotrader]

This is the most mind blowing explanations for the Guard that I have ever heard from anybody, his scientific break downs and his fluid explanations are just brilliant.

[acds413]

@egotrader well he developed it, he best know what hes talking about.

[zakidon]

If you have your opponent in the Jiu Claw and he rolls to free himself from it, can't you sling your legs on his body and catch him in an armbar?

[5190]

double bagger son

[bobert007]

Sup, What keeps him from standing up, and using leverage to break away from it? I know your suppose to be really good at it before it works, but I had my friend in Mission control, he stood up, he said "using leverage" and then slammed me down Lol.. I was squeezing my hardest too, so any suggestions on that.. maybe kick his legs next time so they are weak so he cant stand up?

[QuestionMark31337]

if you where grabbing your knee nice and tight he shouldn't have been able to get himself off the mat.

[ESBjiuJitsu]

Next time when you feel your friend start to stand hook his leg. This will prevent him from standing and slamming.

[novan08]

Either your leg isnt high enough , or it is and you aren't curling down and pulling your ankle down hard enough. Also make sure your other leg is curling in and down , or else he will just pass.

[Milanders]

so this is the legendary rubber guard...

[jtc1148]

who is better at rubber guard Bravo or Robert Drysdale?

[mikeclip]

well clearly Bravo would be better at it, considering he invented it and modified it and came up with the submissions that is possible from all the Rubber Guard positions

[keefy86]

this guy is a good teacher. i understood him very well.

[MaciejBergen]

squeezing endurance lol

[rickyhurtado]

he locks the triangle so fast... genius

[Norehca]

My instructor showed me some of this stuff, its alot of fun. i can finally make use of my flexibility.

[harlemhotboy85]

AMAZING!!! i would hate to fight him...not for fear but simply because its annoying to be helpless. just knock me out.

[k4n3]

jew claw? this guy is racist :(

[liamwandi]

Jiu Claw. as in jiu jitsu. Before you call someone a racist, at least read their book to see how it's spelt!

[k4n3]

sorry I'll read his book when I'm done reading Mein Kampf.

[xelad1]

the fact that people don't find what you are saying hilarious upsets me.

[kettlebellconvert]

i thought it was funny...

[kratos976]

LOL!

[supermario1123]

What's funny?

[jewishnigger]

i laughed. HAHAHAHAHAH!

[bicyclethief]

Did you believe in the superiority of the aRyan gRacie then?

[kettlebellconvert]

youre an idiot

[Lucidor56]

Hahaha!!! =)

[MindOverMatterBjj420]

lol

[piratebrido]

I'm sure lots of folks would talk shit regarding the x-guard before Marcelo Garcia ruined everyone with it. If you don't think rubber guard is a game you could play then don't do it. It isn't for everyone. Adapt what you like to suit your own body, that's the beauty of jits.

[scmdrewx08x]

What an idiot. Would u go into a kickboxing school and say kicking to the head takes super flexabilty and give up? No, you would stretch to get better. Same thing here, and once u drill the moves you hit them as often as u hit any other move. It's not tricky, and no special timing needed, just practice and hard work. Some of u guys are dinosaurs and your gonna get left behind.

[frey1wow]

hehe

[cburcinc]

what is the best way to escape a rubber guard ?

ie. once I stack, what is the best thing to do from there ?

thanks !

[kokwarlock]

The amount of flexibility you need to do that truly effective is ridiculous, also it takes more energy and it's harder to do that guard, not sure about how more effective that is from the 'standart' guard, might be more effective in MMA than in usual jj fights, then again, once it widespread more, much like what happened to bjj, ppl will learn to counter, and the moves like gogoplata are very ninja to execute, need perfect timing for that, you only do it when your enemy is a master of defense

[holic120]

That's why he explains you need to spend serious time on each position. Watch Jason Day vs Alan Belcher for some of the best use of rubberguard in American MMA

[MaddenMan]

post the other two on youtube!

[wulfyson]

Sweet!

[crzybo86]

Eddie Bravo Is the Man...

[hollerfirst]

god bless you

[rocstr98]

looking for pointers on stretches that help loosen up joints and muscules for this certain ground control...n-e one?

[nataku4165]

Get 'Mastering the Rubberguard' by Eddie Bravo, he gives some pointers on stretches and excercises you can do to get flexy.

[brothernajir]

if you have the money, you can get Eddies DVD Mastering the Rubber Guard DVD. In it, he explains his entire guard game plus ways to develop the rubber guard.

[nwyman1978]

that's what i thought he was saying... but for some reason, i kept thinking 'geez, eddie's a bit racist' and didn't think he was saying Jiu :\

[vitorshaolin]

because of the jiu claw which sounds exactly like jew. its how you take it.

[nwyman1978]

sorry, WHAT claw is he saying? it looks like omo plata, but i'm hearing him say something else...

[stayhidden]

Jiu Claw,

It's not so much an omoplata as it is the setup that one typically associates with an omoplata (eddie isn't sitting up).

There's a bunch of options there: Straight armbars, omoplata, sweep, etc.

[sleepingtalon]

This is some great instruction. I really wish I lived in Cali so I could train with Eddie. Pure genius.

[noestabien]

eddie is so goddamn fast

[PapaCap088]

TRUE DAT

[Everlast5150]

he's a God damn pretzel

[kickbutt456]

put on the other 2 please im good at the rubber guard i just want to see more

[PapaCap088]

look at the about thing

[leshark]

damn i so want to practice this but i got kno one to practice with aargh gd vid thx for the links :D

[ATrain11267]

Just ordered Eddie's books, can't wait to do some studying!!!

[Mikey8740]

Dude thanks for the linkage to parts 2 and 3. Appreciate it

[DreamOfTurtles]

Megaupload doesn't work with all browsers. Can you post somewhere else? thx.

[4resg77]

if you want part 2 and 3 go to myspace videos and you'll find them there

[nicoyanicoya]

we NEED PART 2 and 3 , PLEASE !!!!

[cburcinc]

is there a quick and efficient way to heel hook an opponent after you have them in your rubber guard ?

[reecemess16]

My training partner and I have been working rubber guard for about 3 months now and there is no real way to get to a heel hook. Most of the attacks are either arm-locks or triangle chokes.....twister set-ups have a shit ton on ways to heel hook....purchase "Mastering the Twister."

[cburcinc]

Thanks for the info.

I have not trained/practiced the twister, as I thought it too complex. I am working on improving the speed and power of my basics, rather than trying to increase their complexity.

Do you find the rubber guard is effective against a much heavier much taller opponent ?

[cburcinc]

how well does the rubber guard work against a much heavier much taller opponent ?

[bob555555]

oh haha

[scmdrewx08x]

Jui Claw, get it.

[usquared]

Jiu Claw

[bob555555]

Jew claw?

[jlo8720]

5:26-5:40 is amazing

[jmoney1941]

Is there any footage of a no-gi match utilizing Eddie's game?

[lucasjackson03]

2&3 on 10th planet website

[2possi]

fucking awsom style mate i love it the rubber guard is rarly used in mma for some strange reason even thow its an amazing position

[smokindatbudda]

a true jujitsu P.I.M.P

[building7911]

i kinda just started using the rubber guard and i love it but mine's got some holes the big one is this: how do i keep them from sliding through my rubber guard upp over my head, instead of sliding back which he adressed here alot of guys slide foward so my guard is around their hips, how can i stop that?

[ChrisSD1]

It sounds like you're getting stacked. Make sure if you're in mission control or New York to keep your opposite foot posted on his hip, and push him back.

Also, you need to make sure you get chill dog; you can't get stacked in Chill Dog.

[building7911]

maybe i don't think so cuz hes not standing or trying to come to his feet to stack me im prolly missing something though i've gotta go back and re-read mastering the rubber guard

[rocknroll1984]

it has a whole section on how to deal with being stacked including sweeps.

[building7911]

yea i know but i wasnt getting stacked, i realized what happened though; i wasnt keeping my free leg tight enough to his body to hold him in place i fixed it now

[rocknroll1984]

yeah i used to have that problem too.

[Renegade17441]

marcello montierro has came to my bjj class once or twice for seminars, and training pracices and stuff. but sadly, ive never been in class to train with him

[obscurelines]

A lovely demo. Thanks.

[jcyprianus]

Ya....where's no 2 & 3? Nice of you to share this dude tq.

[monji112000]

were is 2 and 3???

[slayer506]

WOW!!! Thats all i can say.

[endfx]

wow, makes everything look soo smooth and easy.

[Albertojaikus]

MAESTRO!!! Mis respetos para Eddie Bravo

[boeyaka]

eddie bravo rules marcelo rules him :)

[MastaChance]

No one beats Eddie off his back.........

[boeyaka]

eddie himself says marcel is better

[sickwititstick]

the mind of eddie, wow

[phaze88]

GENIUS!

[jamesecash]

Incredibly technical the way he has mapped out those variations

[willrodriguez2000]

Nasty -- this guy is just nasty--- much respect!

[Dudongo86]

I have the flexibility but in Judo we don"t practice so much ground. I"m going to try this anyway, thank"s for the video.

[11WGR]

I could't seem to find the rubber guard 2 & 3

[11WGR]

What if your not as flexable as most people when performing the the rubber guard tactic Part 1 to clear the neck then stop him from rolling out.

[JuggaloMMA420]

then you need to spend a little bit more time in the gym working on your flexablity and proabbly your conditing as well. everyone unless they have an injury should be able to reach this flexablity you just have to strech more to do it.

[chrismortimer6]

Do you know any stretching techniques, that would help, I'm bout 6 foot 240 lbs 17%bodyfat, I alread and getting close to doing the splits, but rubber guard requires flexibilty from other angles, any advise welcome?

[TextAndViolence]

if you can pick up e.bravo's 'mastering the rubber guard'. it has a stretching routine in it. pretty basic. he says to just stretch A LOT and after a few months there will be drastic improvements if you stick with it.

[TextAndViolence]

i found this video of him talking about stretching -

Eddie Bravo on: Flexibility and Work Ethic

search that on youtube.

[chrismortimer6]

Thanks big time, bro!

[Krezer]

Also rubber guard is very possible for big guys. One of Eddie's browns is 6 ft something in the 200's. Big guys can perfect this system.

[cmacaoidh]

At 6-4 and 260, I managed to Go Go Plata someone from the rubber guard. This sh*t works. I swear by Eddie's techniques when you're on your back.

[Courter44]

Have you ever seen someone put their foot behind their head? I know this sounds extreme, but start by pulling your foot up to your chest. If it begins to be easy after a couple days raise how high it is till eventually it's head level. That is basically how you are sitting when someone is in your guard. It's what i've done and rubber guard techniques are becoming increasingly easy

[onehandraisinbransam]

thanks for the tip im gonna start doing that

[endfx]

are u sitting up straight when doing this?

[Courter44]

I usually start out sitting straight up, but every so often I will do it on my back. The reason I do it on my back is because it is a more realistic feeling as I can bring up my other leg like I have someone in my guard. I feel that sitting up helps with the flexibility more.

[IamCastIronMan]

Encore!

[frontdesk123]

I'm still wondering how he smokes soo much weed and still kicks butt in BJJ. I always tired.

[crossface67]

exciting angle on the art,thanks Eddie.

[phrox]

eddie bravo is bad ass man

[EvanChaim]

did he say jew claw???

[rocknroll1984]

its spelled jiu-claw like jiu-jitsu

[EvanChaim]

Oh!! LOL, I guess it takes on new meaning with Borat!

[rocknroll1984]

ha that's true

[TapnYouOut]

jiu claw

[RightWingCon81]

LMMFAO I was about to ask the SAME EXACT QUESTION! LMAO. GLad it got answered.

[NCrun4fun]

Do you have parts 2 and 3?

[zodom1]

dailymotion has parts 2 and 3!

[Redparrot5]

At 4:56 does he call that move the "Jew clock"? ...

[JRubeus]

Jiu Claw

[Redparrot5]

Tomato, ta-mah-toe ...

[hiroseatsuyuki]

thanks.

[JuggaloMMA420]

mabbe im stupid but it seems like if i alrady am attempting a staing guard pass before he breaks my posture i avoid the whole rubber guard game.

[agentsab]

I am sorry but mission control makes me feel like my knee will blow up any second there

[markkerr101]

stretch old man

[GreatIntellect13]

its only for the flexible.

[JRubeus]

I've never had flexibility issues with mission control oddly enough. My left knee feels a bit odd but I fuxored that thing to death (ankle crank gone wrong) so I've learned to live with odd feelings there.

[stayhidden]

Are you lying flat on your back? Some pple can do it that way, but for the majority of us (myself included) it's better to shift the hips out towards the side of the leg your pulling up.

I may just be reiterating common knowledge though... If so, I apologize.

[jimmylovesbreakfast]

You probably might not be flexible enough to do it on your flat on your back.

[JRubeus]

I can rubber guard from just about any spot. Like I said, the flexibility was never an issue. I've been able to put my feet behind my head since I was young, I can put my legs all the way down in a butterfly stretch and then put my forehead nearly to the floor, etc.

[darthfoul]

Wow, coming from a guy on the internet.... i am impressed with your skills. Seriously impressed.

[gouldjy]

Dude, that's Eddie Bravo!!! He's like the best Bjj cat in the world. Find the video on here of him against Royler. Its amazing and a great example of what he's demonstrating. peace

[maapak]

Just a friendly tip, if you crank on your knee of course it will hurt, but if your hips are flexible it's no more uncomfortable than bending your knee the usual way.

[vietx01fcuk]

go download some videos.. my friend burned it for me in the cd

[finlayreed]

I want to see the other two parts please.

[hannahsman18]
