We need a 10th Planet in London!

Marijuana improves my breathing for JiuJitsu I have found. A calm focused- ness.

No Gi is like "everyday people" JiuJitsu. Eddie Bravo is the man. Much respect.

Depeche Mode. Eff yeah!

Take a look at the guys who consistently win at No-Gi Worlds and ADCC at the highest levels and you will find that they train the Gi. Period. Bravo can continue to ignore this fact, but to claim Gi training is anachronistic, is plain foolish given the evidence to the contrary.

The 10th Planet cult of personality is reaching Helio Gracie levels of intensity. Truth is, both supposed demi-gods are kind of twats, when it comes down to it. Talented, inspiring (to some), but twats nonetheless.

@seclfs

No that wouldn't be your "fault"

However, it is your respnsibility to use the brain you have as best you can. Never feel that your opinion is less than a celebrities. What is a celebrity anyway? A person that can't make it in a normal profession, so they shill for the media moguls, who BTW, are attacking our freedom on YT, FB and many other Internet Social sites.

Joe Rogan works for those people. His best interest is not your best interest.

@MrJamesbragan I was born with a smaller brain than most people, is that my fault?

[SifuJeffHughes]

Right on!

[MrJamesbragan]

Get this through your fucking pitiful empty brains. Nobody is saying that the "high guard" which Eddie claims to have invented(and calls the rubber guard) isn't a useful guard position. It can be, but is by no means the end all be all in MMA.

The discussion here is whether Eddie Bravo "invented" the high guard that has been used since the time of Plato for fucks sake.

A physical position can't be "invented" you slackers. Just like turning your eyeballs inwards isn't "inventing" cross-eye.

@MrJamesbragan Sometimes getting stood up is exactly what you want isn't it? I have seen rubber guard make wrestlers so uncomfortable they just stand up on their own too. I think everything has its place, who would have thought spinning elbows would work? Jon Jones uses them often. I never thought the Karate Kid Crane Kick would work but Randy got KTFO with it. Rogan would kick your ass though LOL.

[MrJamesbragan]

Rubber guard is useless in UFC. If you place your opponent in rubber guard it's a very low chance of getting a sub, and a very high probability of being stood back up for stalling. UFC judges tend to penalize those fighters that hold guard too long. The UFC judges reward fast standing action, and viscous ground and pound.

Fuck the stupid asses that waste time claiming to have "invented" the rubber guard. Let's keep it real at 10th planet for a change. Shiiiiit.

@MrJamesbragan yes i am one of those fools who uses the rubber guard while doing mma and i can see that it is the most effective guard for mma, eddie is not saying anything bad about brasilians, its just that grappling in mma is no gi and thats why you need to pratcice no gi, but if you say that eddie is a big time pussy it just shows that you are just a regular hater who would get strangled like a bitch by anyone who knows his shit ;)
