Possible new finish from the rubber guard!

[Logan Cook]

The jiujitsu gods spoke to me as I slept last night. They said you probably should solidify a strong control position, such as perpendicular jiu or meatbag. They also mentioned something about needing to be a brown belt to put vids up? Hmm..

Thanks again for your input Helio!

the tension!

Why when the sub is right there?
And 5 pages in Im sure Zog has seen this thread. So if its an issue I would imagine he could deal with it so you dont have to worry so much about it that you're dreaming about it.

Dude, life is insane for me right now, can barely keep up with emails, I finally watched the frodoplata video, it looks mad legit but can't say for sure til I hit it a few times in sparring, but I'm thinking it's gonna pass the test and make it into the system officially, I'm hoping anyways! Way to rep Frode! :-)

White belts picking apart a blue belts video of a technique Eddie has approved already....lol

Listen, ScottRay, Brian Debes is one of the best up and coming RG practitioners I have seen, I don't imagine he is bailing on the front path(Gogo>straight jacket>specialK) to jiu claw if his omaplata isn't tight. Just chill on the instructions. I have no doubt Brian is dropping mad knowledge in Texas, but try it out if you don't like it don't use it brah.

Thanks for the back up and encouragement Mike! I appreciate it my brother!

Thanks for the props Mike To be honest with you, I take full responsibility for Scott’s bashing this move (but play nice please )… because I can’t hit it for anything on anyone good. I tried it with the leg triangle Friday and almost everyone (Scott included) took it completely away. I mean why would any of my training partners believe in it when I can hit most things in the rubberguard and can’t hit this for crud? I’m whatever rank is below white belt on this move though so I’m open to the possibility I’m doing something stupid on it. Have you hit this Mike?

And thank you Logan for your interest and contributions to the system and apologies if I had any part in making anyone upset. You have the right mindset which is to be open to new things. Without that, all of the rubber guard looks kinda crazy

P.S. Your right Mike, I play the front path all day. I have half a dozen invisible crocks in competition in the last year as well if those count

It's all good bro! I'm open to the possibility that maybe my training partners haven't figured out a defense to it yet! That's certainly a possibility. I'm going to keep playing with it until it gets shut down consistently though!

That’s a great idea!!! If you like, you could always try and help a few of your partners as it will only help you in return. I’d say (and this is just a suggestion) grab a training partner during an open mat, put him in it (without squeezing) and tell him to push the gogo-ing leg toward your head just enough to move it off the artery. Take it easy at first and then resist a bit. Then resist completely and then let him try and defend when you catch it rolling. If he defends it, then that just accelerates your progression, if he can’t, then either he doesn’t get what I’m saying over the net or you have a way of dealing with it I don’t understand over the net. Either way, hope that helps and have fun with your training.
P.S. Feel free not to do this if you don’t want, they’ll probably figure something out eventually if it’s there anyway just trying to help.

I love that idea. I'm definitely going to give that a shot. Thanks!
