First master the rg on paper. Second run rg clinics on dudes with 1 day experience. Then run clinics on dudes with 1 week experience. Then run rg clinics on dudes with 1 month experience. Then run rg clinics on dudes with 2 months experience. If you can't run rg clinics on dudes with 2 months experience, go back to 1 month dudes. Eventually you will be able to run rg clinics on all white belts, and that is huge. Keep running rg clinics on white belts until you can run rg clinics on a blue belt or 2. Eventually you will run clinics on all blue belts. Obviously you see where I'm going with this. It's simple, if you can't run an rg clinic on a white belt you surely won't be able to pull any rg on a black, brown, purple or blue. Time, reps, time, reps, time, reps, patience. :)

Even though i didnt post this, THANKS HEAPS EDDIE
I think he has a pretty simple overall strategy and mindset, but his experience carries him. So from what I've seen, Eddie knows what spots are advantageous and capitalizes on them when they present themselves, and he takes what people give him. He always seems to have some position or submission in mind and works towards that, but if you give him something that he knows is a good spot for him, he knows it right away and he capitalizes.
All in all, yea he's flexible and yea he has a good clinch, but knows SO MUCH STUFF that he could catch you giving him something you didn't even know you were giving him. He just understands positions because he's been there so much. Black belts in general always amaze me in what ideas they have and their general understanding of the sport. Just my observations.
this is quite an old thread I posted. My rubber guard does pretty good lately. My problem for a while was I was rolling against only blue and purple belts. Then I trained at a new center and started destroying white belts. Now I do pretty good against bluez that I have been rolling with.

Without seeing it, my guess would be that your training partner is way out of position with his home alone if you can just deep hook without pumping. He shouldn't have his elbow in the middle of your stomach or chest when he's defending; they should be just to the outside of your hips and he should be clinching/squeezing them slightly inward to prevent the zombie. That's why you pump -- to get the elbow across when you can't zombie. If the elbow is already across, no, there's no need to pump. There is a need to find a training partner who properly defends the rubber guard though...Quote:
