josh thomson uses rubber guard !!!

he gets taken down and pulls rubber guard to not get gnpd... 10th planet gettin bigger and bigger

That was hardly rubber guard... a poor attempt, didn't follow the progression at all, just held onto an awkward new york type position

wasnt perfect but it shows that people try to use the 10th planet in mma

It needs to be repped properly or else it lends support to the douche bags who claim it doesnt work

very true when i first tried it it was useless and my buddies who train at gb laughed about it then i find out how to really pull rg, work my flexibility and put in reps. its pretty solid now :)

But it did show he was in no danger of getting hit from that position. Even for someone who may not have put in the reps, it showed how effective the position can be defensively.

Yeah, I hear ya Matt, but at least he didn't get hit and it showed that yet another elite mma fighter is at least being open minded to rubber guard concepts :)

I saw the fight he protected himself from getting hit. I think he trains at aka I wonder if dave camino is teaching his guys to use the rubber guard?

Josh has been using a shitty rubber guard for a long time now. We need to send Denny over there to straighten that mess out.

Does it annoy anybody else when whenever somebody grabs their foot in guard its automatically called rubber guard? I've heard this in a few fight somebody grabs their toes with an over hand grip and its "oh he's working some rubberguard"
