Oh me oh my. Caio is learning RG? This is awesome. I'm glad guys are opening their minds. That's kind of a big deal.

Yeah they mutually pick each others brains I think, another guy that is supposed to be really awesome with Rubber Guard and is a Ralph Gracie Black Belt is Darren Uyenoyama, hopefully we see some from him down the line :)Quote:

Excellent. Good news that Ciao is open to the RG path.
Ciao's gym was a blast to train at. So many different techniques from his students.
I don't know if anyone else has ever noticed Jackson fighters trying RG techs when they get desperate and Jackson berating them for it when they get to the corner but I remember during Stevenson vs Sotiropoulos Joe tried using RG and lockdown a couple of times and as soon as he got back to the corner Jackson said something along the lines of, "Stop trying that fancy shit when you're on your back.". If I'm not mistaken I've seen similar instances occur a few times but I can't remember exactly who/when.
I was under the impression that he only brought caio in for the one camp. He also says on the prime time before he fought gsp that before he brought caio in, he was just using the Jiu Jitsu he had learned from when he first started training. He was using rubber guard long before he started working with caio for sure though. He has been on the meat hook game for a while.
Yeah, I remember him pulling that back in his early WEC days. I'd say he's better at it now, but I'm curious where he started picking it up. He wasn't always at Jackson's out in Albuquerque so maybe his previous gym? Either way still cool to see him be such a beast standing up and so aggressive on the ground, too.
