Smashing the Rubber Guard?

This is my opinion on a video that some of us saw on the net recently. I should note, before you get your panties in an uproar, that this isn't an attack on the instructor or his overall skill. It was just some points which we saw that were incorrect in the application of the rubber guard.

I am sure with some tweaks, the application could get better.

what if i just jammed my elbows into your thighs forcing you to release your rubber guard? explain that one

[Submissions101]

@KYNCarena give it a try with your partner. Typically, this elbow escape doesn't work when your posture is broken down.

I love the way our discipline is advancing...I love the BJJ old system and ill never leave it but i love the way how people like Eddie Bravo are creating new techniques. Its giving us a challenge to work on and making the competition better.

Im involved in martial arts competition and mixed martial arts compititon in texas, ive been doing BJJ for only 5years so i cant say im a true expert at it cause ive doing Muay Thai most of my life but like i said. Im loving the revolution of BJJ system :)

exactly, some people just don't want to give eddie credit & they say it dumb or it won't work or they don't like that fancy move, I love the rubber guard & how eddie bravo has revolutionize it, it is effective & it works once you have him, thank you eddie for the guard you created.

I may be missing something simple. I can only go off the 10th planet stuff online. Like the submission101 videos have gotten me far. One problem with one guy I roll with is when I go for mission control. Right wrist to left ankle/leg. And before I can try and get his right arm to the mat, he pretty much pummels in with his left arm and sometimes goes to the can opener from there. And him doing that just breaks by right arm free from my ankle/leg breaking my mission control. Counter to this?

@KYNCarena and after a while of doing jiu jitsu the elbows in the thighs doesn't hurt as much
