10th Planet Watch

I need some help, what did this this dood do wrong in the video.

Rarely do I go off topic, but I had to share this with the rest of you. Big shouts out to respected forum member David “Lo Pan” Callaham for bringing this to my attention. Just to reel it in and get back on topic, I feel the best strategy for this sport is of course the rubber guard.

“I will be in the New York City area between November 22 and December 27. If you’re interested in setting up a rubber guard/twister seminar or private lesson, simply contact me via email.

Quick facts about me: I have been with Eddie at 10th Planet in Hollywood since the school first opened its doors. I initially started with Renzo in NY, then got my blue belt from Caique, and my purple and brown from Eddie. Been a brown in Eddie’s system for over two years.

I’ll break down Eddie’s system for you, even if you lack flexibility!

Eddie has been praising Dustin Hazelett’s Rubber Guard usage in MMA for a while now. He feels it’s the best in the UFC. When I heard they were moving Hazelett vs. Tamdan to the main card, I was exstatic. I knew there was a chance we could finally see a rubber guard submission on the main stage! Not to mention, Tamdan is also a huge rubber guard fan too. I wasn’t let down. This is an amazing match, both guys come out to fight! In the end Hazelett pulls off an awesome omoplata submission.

I’ve already been reading the forums. Some people are praising the RG, and some people are saying it’s not rubber guard, that it’s just a regular old omoplata. Technically he does skip some steps and goes straight to it. What do you think? Is this a victory for 10th Planet JJ, or is this just a regular ol’ BJJ finish?

As you know, my name is Alder. I like to fancy myself as an authority on the history of the Rubber Guard. From it’s inception, it’s been Eddies mission to revolutionize the Jiu Jitsu game. Up to this point I feel he’s done a excellent job. Although there are many detractors, I feel the evidence swings on the side of favorability. I feel we’re close to seeing a Rubber Guard victory in the main event of the UFC.

If we look at the facts, it could be the BJ Penn vs. George St. Pierre. Here’s GSP, a man that has been out wrestling wrestlers and dominating his division. Let’s face it, BJ’s takedown defense is sick, but he’ll probably go down eventually. In my opinion it will be GSP’s game plan to take BJ down and try to pound from the top. This lends itself to a RG victory. BJ has the skill set and the flexibility to the THE RG player. I feel it would be in BJ’s best interest to consider this as an serious option in his game plan. If BJ could pull this off, it would be the biggest moment in RG history to date. 

My question is, what are the important RG/10pjj moments so far? Shinya Aoki beating Hansen? Vinny Magalhaes switching to the dark side and using Eddie’s stuff on TUF 8. Or maybe it the publishing of Eddie’s book, “Mastering The Rubber Guard.” At any rate, there’s a ton of key moments, let’s hear some.

“Eddie talks about why London was taken out of the 10th Planet system. There have been many requests by viewers about London and they didn’t know what it was or why it was removed.”

Thanks to Ari @ Submissions 101 for this

Here’s my new card. I had my good friend Jo-S hook up the graphic design. He’s an art director at a firm that does all the DVD covers and Movie posters. I thought that it was pretty special. What do you guys think?

Here’s the deal… You pay me money, I teach you 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu. Seems like a fair trade to me right? I know what I’m doing, I have experience, I’m talented and I’m fun to hang out with.
