Inverted guard

Except he still does it in his black belt matches

its a good move, but at high level your gonna get smashed in I.G. your better off tricking and baiting

IG is important for guard recovery.
Watch Kayron Gracie vs Sergio Moraes from 2010 Pan.
Kayron's IG is what made it impossible for Sergio to pass.

Ryan Hall does recommend that the basics are where its at but to completely disregard the inverted guard is silly. Cobrinha is another inverted guard player.
Great fight example Budo Jake

i see EVERY POSITION, TRANSITION, AND SUBMISSION are very important to every part of the game.... im game to learn anything and everything

Besides the MTS where he shows the inverted guard, does Eddie actually use inverted guard at all during live rolls? Dunno if that would be a project he would even want to take on if he doesnt really use it

Well if hes good at it, y not? Doesnt matter if he doesnt use it

But if you dont use it and put in the reps, can you actually be good at it?

idk me and cookie were talking about this and he was telling me that their isnt a book that focuses mainly on it
and when i thought of books that mainly focus on a guard i thought of eddies rubber guard book
so thats why i asked, i never knew he didnt use it cuz i cant find to many vids of him in compeition online

Maybe, but to me spending any real time looking at inverted guard as a white belt is what seems silly.
