Pt.1

While working Jerome Basilio’s Rubix Cube from the Pyramid we came up with a new position and a bunch of new submissions off of it. Tell me what you think. 8th Street Gym, Grand Junction, Colorado. Jeff Barney, Felipe Soto, filmed by Jorge “El Original” Carrasco.

Pt.2

More options off of Jerome Basilio’s Rubix Cube. First we show a transition to the back that we call the Solution. Then another transition called the Drowning Puppet. 8th Street Gym, Grand Junction Colorado.

I’m going to parts 3 and 4 of the Puppet master up in another blog post in the very near future.

The rubber guard cops are on the beat again. I’m starting a new division, The RGPD. Keeping the streets safe from the gi since 2008 =)

Tell me what this bloke did incorrectly. Hint: one of his mistakes was something Aoki did in one of his fights too.

 

Mission Control to Omo Plata:

Ok this gent has posted some of his variations of rubber guard. If you can explain to me what he does wrong, you’re an official rubber guard cop!

Mission Control

Rubber guard can get a lot of bad press sometimes. They say, “it’s bad for my knees. It doesn’t work unless you’re super flexible. Eddie Bravo stole my girlfriend.” I believe many people are either doing it wrong or are just hating. It’s ok to not use it as part of your game. That’s a personal Choice. As far as it being bad for my knees, I’ve never had any real problems. But hey let’s face it, Jiu Jitsu probably isn’t that good for your body anyways. I’m also not the most flexible person on earth, but I can still pull off a lot of the stuff. One of the big reasons I think it gets bad press is, the amount of people showing it done incorrectly. This prompted me to come up with a new Government agency, The RGPD (Rubber Guard Police Department). This is for your safty, for the safty of your wives and most importantly the safty of your children. Remeber folks, I care.

If you’d like to join us here at the RGPD, please send us all videos of people performing RG incorrectly to alder at 10thplanetwatch dot com. I will post them and let all my Rubber Guardiacs review them and decide what has been done wrong. I encourage sending any and all tapes. The best ones I’ve seen so far were, the english guy from straight blast uk, Gene Simco and Robert Drysdale.

I’m all about creating conciousness, and having a little fun in the process. Happy hunting!
