Corrected, but I can neither confirm nor deny a secret identity to their secret identity under the threat of me being put into that "RG destroyer" myself.

Yeah, he did the same thing to me when I was learning a bunch of judo techniques to combat wrestling... Which he is a wrestler... He would tell me to not go for moves like ippon sungagi... Or drop sunagi or whatever it's called until i started tossing him through the air with my "gay judo moves"

You get my vote for best picture of the year if you wear this shirt while tossing him through the air during a live match.

Absolutely! It was an amazing experience

I don't get how people can teach their students that "any move can be countered," and then 20 minutes later, claim to have "proven" that RG doesn't work by showing one counter to one form of RG. If you try to armbar me from guard, I can pass if I do it properly, so I guess armbars don't work either.. What's funny is when someone (in this case you) counters their counter, because they can't say "that doesn't prove anything". Their own logic traps them into stupid conclusions.

Also, as a side note, my instructor (a direct disciple of Royler) has been less adamant about his anti-RG attitude. He always lets me practice what I want, but you can tell that he thinks it is a waste of time. Recently, though, while he won't comment on pure RG techniques, he will comment on transitions to other positions and subs. He had a lot to say about going mission control to armbar (various crocs) and chill dog to oma.

I've never been a rubber guard disbeliever, but I've also never had anyone show me proper rubber guard, so it has historically never worked. HOWEVER, I have started using it over the last couple of months after studying the books super close, and I destroy with it now.

I'm a believer.
