Rubber Guard TIPS all BEGINNERS should know.. 

Thanks Brandon, I do not go to a 10p gym, but I like to play rubber guard so all these details you put out are gold

Thank you for posting all of these. I’ve only known about rubber guard for 2 months and was driven crazy about how its not more popular (internet/mma). I’m glad that it’s getting closer thanks to you. Maybe a stretches for rubber guard video next?

The grip on his free arm/wrist reminds me of a video dean lister made when setting up a triangle from closed guard where he grips the inside of his opponent’s wrist rather than the outside so he can throw it out of the way to get past the arm and over the shoulder. So instead of moving his leg around opponent’s arm, he moves his opponents’s arm around his leg.

first tip : have a good knee with meniscus and lca intact..

Great stuff thank you professor🎉

Noticed actively using your knees is very important.

Oh oh ohh, sucker... 😂 awesome details as always!

I feel like that hip angle right in the beginning is also crucial for knee health. I'm just started training 3 months ago and not at a 10p gym but was toying around with this yesterday but since I didn't have the right hip angle it made it hard to get good pressure on his head to break his posture. I went to an omaplata from there but I'd much prefer the triangle hehe so will definitely try this out. Sorta off topic but I feel like 10p gyms seem to have a great way of structuring their curriculums. We have a covid schedule right now where all the advanced people and beginners are clustered together and I'm learning only a limited amount of stuff. We're doing the typical thing of warming up, drill some techniques and transitions and then that's the 1hour done and after that it's just live rolling (which is fun but I feel like I'm having to assemble a lot on my own through instructionals)

This is great

Osss!

super useful thank you

Any tips on how to prevent getting lifted and slammed when doing rubber guard?

started 6 months ago 10pl orange keep getting wrecked sometimes i want to give in to my frustration but i don’t want to give up…today was one of those days but my coach mike john told me a while back to never quit…good coaches help thanks bmac

Is it considered “disrespectful” to play the rubber guard when attending a traditional “gracie” jiujitsu gym? I feel like I get alot of stares when i play it the few times I’ve gone

Always a student
