    Gracie Breakdown of Ben Saunder's Omoplata

    What do you think? Did they give 10th planet the credit it deserves?

    Wow, really surprised they didn't even give a reference to Eddie.

    I mean it was a 4 minute segment for FOX. I'm sure in a full length Gracie Breakdown they would give 10P a little more recognition

    He mentioned the rubber guard but otherwise kinda stayed technical. Obviously we saw the zombie but he's not naming the names. Rener does alright in the jiu jitsu department. I never fail to learn from his videos, to be quite honest. The detail of finding your base on the omoplata and driving the right pressure was worth the price of admission.

    The fact that he called it Rubber Guard was pretty close to a 10p callout. Closer than I expected. Usually the entire RG system is referred to as "high guard"... which is misleading at best.

    Eddie Bravo and 10p developing new techniques in Jiu Jitsu does not threaten the Gracie family legacy. The only thing that threatens their legacy is them acting like dicks or intentionally ignoring innovations.

    Let's not forget, Rener did show Eddie respect when the first Twister occurred in the UFC.

    I don't think you need to scream Eddie's name every time someone uses Rubber Guard. I mean, it's nice to get your propers and it strokes the ego, but it's not a slight.

    In fact, I think it's actually pretty nice that it's becoming popular/common enough that they can just say "Rubber Guard" on FOX without a big long explanation.

    Don't be so easily offended, fellas.
