There is SO much information concisely packaged into this video, I feel like I need to watch it ten times over to really take it all in. Thanks for sharing!
My nine year old loves Rubberguard! And she "legit" tapped her coach with a Gogoplata. Now we all know that he could have brute forced his way out, she is nine, but the smile on his face when she hit it! Thank you Professor for these vids!
It's nice to see a RGBB show this stuff. Many of the RGBBs I know are living in 1994 and they have not, nor cannot, or whatever (I can't figure it out) accept that though arm locks and triangles, etc. have been around for a thousand years, how those techniques are landed and the way things are taught have EVOLVED! You know the rest, that I'm certain of. Great stuff. Keep it up!
I appreciate the comment. I try to keep up with every facet of jiu-jitsu as I can. I’ve appreciated the 10p system for around 15 years now and have trained a lot of rubber guard and half guard techniques from it over the years. To me, if it works and is efficient and effective, then it is valuable.
I’m a white belt but I use rubber guard because I’m not a very strong person, so being able to throw my leg over to keep people from posturing up is great and doesn’t use any strength
I was rolling with my coach and im pretty flexible. He got to side control and I managed to get him into this which he then called rubber guard. Might try and utilise this in my regular game now thanks for the video
Shooting techniques at us like a machine gun, I love it! After a couple of months of focusing on flexibility Ive found Im able to get into this position so its time to learn where to go from there
You can use the double bag as a way to clear the neck if you want to enter “invisible collar” or to clear the neck to a gogoclich scenario… double bags is great to clear and move your mission control foot a little more secure without having them bust out of mission control.
Thank you for the video Eli! White belt here and I've been a fan of the rubber guard for the past few months. I tend to trick the others because there's not a single 10p gym in my country and they never expect a gogoplata hehe (at least not at my level lol) I've been searching the web and trying to put all the options in one video, but have failed in finding it until now! So thank you a lot, I'll be trying out 3 or 4 of them tomorrow at practice and casually implementing them into my game.
Thank you for such a great comment. I hope this helps and is a useful resource. Make sure to follow Brandon Mccaghren too, as he is one of the best rubber guard teachers out there.
I love the leglock game and I think that Danaher and his squad have revolutionized and systematized the leg lock game. But there have also been lots of innovative hands on the leg lock game out there. It’s just that Danaher is in the right place and time and is extremely intelligent and articulate with his analysis of it all.
Hwy coach, would you recommend this is a self defence system? Seems like there is a less danger from receiving punches in that position than in classic closed guard.
That’s the entire reason why it was invented. Eddie Bravo (the creator of rubber guard) felt that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu left you vulnerable to punches, so he invented rubber guard.
Basic rubber guard is more effective, notice in the first stage the opponents posture is broken and only has one arm free, while the teacher has two open limbs to strike with and his shoulders are off the mat able to generate power from that position.
My academy is only partly a Jiu-Jitsu school. We also have Filipino Martial Arts, JKD, Judo and Machida Karate among other arts that our instructors have lots of experience and credentials in.
Aside from just getting more flexible, which is easier said than done, finding the specific angles and how to achieve them efficiently is key in rubber guard.
@@KnightJiuJitsu Thank you for the reply. I tend to pull the rubber guard from really high full guard (my legs around my opponents armpit) and I tilt myself a little to the side. I was able to transition to gogoplata, arm bar even zombie sometimes, but the lack of reliance on my flexibility makes me feel like its just an elaborated sideguard. I have started working on my lotus everyday. I hope I can achieve the flexibility I am aiming at without taking years.
Coach , can i ask u 1 question , it will be awesome if u see and answer me . Does this rubber guard have bad effect on the knee ligaments and how can i avoid it ? I tried this rubber guard and it worked for many submissions ( im a under 1 month white belt) but at the end of the day i felt uncomfortable when i sat .
I would just caution against jumping into any advanced submissions. There are definitely many that require a greater degree of flexibility. Usually though, any injury comes from compromised positions with a lot of pressure on the joints that are already stretched. Make sure you stretch sufficiently and don’t do any extreme positions before warming up well.
Nice video as always. Do you think that with striking involved rubber guard can be a good idea? I do not see it very often in MMA. Usually closed guard is preferred.
Because you need some degree of flexibility and a lot of time to make it a top knotch move. Checkout fighters like Jason Knight, vinny magalhaes, shinya aoki etc all mma fighters and used it to a good degree.
What if you're not able to 'clear the head' from mission control because your opponent forces his head towards the side you need to have clear in order to perform most of these tricks? It's a serious question, i couldn't find the answer anywhere on the internet.
If you can’t clear the head, which is required to do a lot of these, they won’t be accessible. But if they are preventing the head clear, that means they are actively opposing the angle you’re trying to create, so the opportunity to switch to attempting to cut the angle to the other side is possible. If it is a posture issue instead preventing the head clear, you have to break them down first. Either way, if you can’t get it, just gotta do something else 🤷♂️
@@KnightJiuJitsu I was thinking about switching to other side, thats cool option, but as you answered me, i managed to find one good reply on the internet. If I won't be able to clear the head and guy will start to pass my leg, this one looks like really fun answer: th-cam.com/users/shortsZ0nXCyLkV2Y?si=c7-F2l69dRhrUxdR sharing here coz maybe somebody had similar issue with this position
When i try to play rubber guard, i completely fail. i am not the most flexable guy, so the only way to do it is by setting myself up for an good angle. but when it comes to hugging my own knee, there is no power and even weaker training partners can reliably escape this guard. any idea what might be up?
I would say start with research, like you’re doing now by watching videos. There are also plenty of good books to read, which include history and philosophy as well as techniques. You can get a training aid, like a grappling dummy, but ultimately you’ll need a partner and place to train. You can do a lot without a partner, but the resistance a partner provides is crucial to actual training.
I had a chance to try this on my friend, this weekend. We both had our Gi's on, maybe that's the factor I couldn't get good position. Can it be a factor or should there be another move for the Gi, rolling?
Rubber guard is definitely easier to play no gi. But there is such thing as gi modified guard, or “Gubber Guard.” Check it out here th-cam.com/video/6ve_IvIMZ3Q/w-d-xo.html
@@KnightJiuJitsu if any thing i really appreciate the fact that if you havent gotten it live then you dont do a vid about it cause thats an added security that you at least know it works i didnt even think of that

i know about rubber guard from UFC game,and this is such good tutorial for white belt.
This is gold. That angle in the beginning is critical. If you miss that forget everything else.
One of my go to guys for cool techniques.
Eddie bravo is such a genius
Yes Eddie Bravo is a true genius. I wish our academy taught more of Eddies techniques
@@glennrudzik1007 have you asked them to?
This has been the best rubber guard explanation I’ve seen. Every video had me confused but his explanation and camera angle are perfect

This may be the most misunderstood guard used today. Great overview, Eli! 👌
I would totally have to agree. And thank you!
I fight for 13 years right now in MMA and you still showed me some nice tricks, nice video.
going to have to watch this one alot. just starting to really use rubber guard lately
This is great instructional. Very well explained and so many details so much to learn. I appreciate your work thank you professor
Thank you so much!

This is a great collection of the basics and how they're connected.
My teacher showed me this yesterday after the basic triangle from closed guard.Very impressive und underated
Beautiful and very concise explanations!

Thanks mestre, i learn so much with your tutorials, im from Perú Osss
Awesome break-down!! Thanks 🙏🏼
Awesome vid Eli very good instruction on the rubber guard
Thank you so much
Your welcome Eli I really appreciate the hard work that you do getting these vids out and teaching more of this awesome art.
Fun fact : those mats have the same curvature as earth ... look into it
so you know
I'm on a plane, and I can't complain.
Those mats are actually ever so slightly curved
Lol
I cant wait till we can go to outerspace🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, what makes you smarter than theoretical physicists, even Neil deGrasse Tyson says thats bs!!
This is exactly the video I've needed! I'm saving this to watch over and over.
Parabéns professor! Técnicas exelentes que não se vê mais hoje em dia.
I love the rubber guard!
Great video its helped me alot. Thankyou
Fantastic break down, my 9 year old picked this up very quick After showing him #10thplanet
That was some outstanding information Mr. Knight. Thumbs up to your partner also.👍
7:40 invisible collar. i had been looking for the name of that high rubber guard with both legs.
You can use the double bag as a way to clear the neck if you want to enter “invisible collar” or to clear the neck to a gogoclich scenario… double bags is great to clear and move your mission control foot a little more secure without having them bust out of mission control.

Great guard for punch protection but is it possible that it makes you more susceptible to slams?
There is concern about it but there are preventions and counters for slams
@@KnightJiuJitsu I'm sure there are (preventions and counters), thank you, love your channel!

REALLY NICE; OSS FROM MONTREAL
Thank you! 😊
Do you venture into the rat guard too? (I think BJJ calls it the williams guard?)
Yesssss. I love Shawn Williams Guard and lots of Neil Melanson’s Guard variations like it.
Rat guard is a different variation of guard, separate from Williams guard
Thank you very much professor!
Hwy coach, would you recommend this is a self defence system? Seems like there is a less danger from receiving punches in that position than in classic closed guard.
I think that rubber guard is a good guard for punch protection for sure.
That’s the entire reason why it was invented. Eddie Bravo (the creator of rubber guard) felt that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu left you vulnerable to punches, so he invented rubber guard.
You can also attack from the rubber guard with elbows and punches.
Basic rubber guard is more effective, notice in the first stage the opponents posture is broken and only has one arm free, while the teacher has two open limbs to strike with and his shoulders are off the mat able to generate power from that position.

The rubber guard just perfect for me
Hello! Thanks for video! )
Amazing thx!
Amazing
Good info
My legs are very stiff and not flexible enough to do rubber guard. Is there anything I can do to solve that problem?
Aside from just getting more flexible, which is easier said than done, finding the specific angles and how to achieve them efficiently is key in rubber guard.

Just curious why it's called Rubber Guard . Is it because flexibility helps?
Flexibility definitely helps. And Eddie Bravo coined that term for it. When flexible people play it it can make them look like their legs are rubber.
