eddie's system is the shit when done right, weed, go go's , and loco's, but why is it that
mma fighters that try rubber guard never seem to HUG THE KNEE, it's not that hard, just hug it like a beutifull woman or a bag of kush !!!

So true, soooo very true! I'm with you AJ, every fuckin time! My wife yells "They can't hear you" and I reply "well they should!"Quote:

that's true, with the untrained eye I'm sure that's how it seems. I bought eddies books, disected them, did a million reps, and fell into this crazy demention of Super Weed, Hybrid Jiu Jitsu of old & new, Loco Crackheads & GoGo Hoes, Twisted Weed to play a game of Twister, Fucking old school heads up with new Weed Inspired shit, and all from Hugging The Knee
You should see the looks on the faces of local fighters when I explain to them that gripping the shin is sort of irrelevant. I mean it keeps them squared up and keeps your attacking leg within reach at all times BUT the entire control of the position is in the trapping of that arm and hugging the knee. Everybody just presumes that holding your own ankle "is rubber guard", really frustrating.
Maybe Eddie should save up his money and in a handful of some major MMA magazines he should put out a full page ad that says: Rubber Guard... You're Doing it Wrong. HUG THE DAMN KNEE.
hug the knee dammit...
