New guy here with some questions

Talked to the wife, and Orlando is a no go :( I'm glad as hell to have found the site though. Very welcoming community.

if you cant train at a 10th planet school buy eddies books. there is a section on the stretches you need for ruber guard and will help you learn the tech. then you will be ready for when a school opens up close to you. i trained with the book for a couple months before starting at hq and it gave me a good advantage.

I have Jiu Jitsu Unleashed. I have Jean Jaques' book too. Are the stretches in Mastering the Rubber Guard?

yes they are along with alot of really great techniques :) Mastering the twister is great too. Also I think the Advanced rubber guard book is out soon but if your just starting go for the first two

I think Robson Moura's school is in Tampa if you're looking for places close to you...
