Haha good story Kevin : ). I kinda had some fun with learning it in a traditional school myself. I used to train with a Royler Gracie blackbelt back in Missouri and there was me and one other guy who was freakishly flexible and who was a bluebelt. After seeing him do some awesome stuff that nobody else could do,( he rolled against a brownbelt and recovered guard about five times with the jailbrake escape every time the brown thought he passed the guard lol) I started asking him about that specific style and i found out about Eddie's Rubber Guard. The following years i had trouble finding knowledge on it, even the bluebelt guy didnt like showing it much, so one day my old teacher was like " alright today ill teach the class ANYTHING you guys wanna learn." and i was immediately "ANYTHING" lol so I asked to teach a Royler Gracie blackbelt a basics of the rubberguard class! He was cool though and tough it, to bad everyone in class had to drill it to and only the smaller half of the class had the correct flexibility lol
