This isn't a joke. This dude def understands the system. Only the highest level players would be able to catch this guy. It was a solid defense tutorial IMO. Thing is, I'm cool with transitioning to other guards.
Solid rubber guard defense :-)
I love how every single person that is the "RG Expert" in these videos has less than a one stripe white belts knowledge of RG.
hahaha I really needed this. Thanks
I wonder if this guy in the vid even knows that the meat hook n double bagger exist but hey that's classified information :)
What's funny is they actually believe it works. Having said that..... Seems legit:DQuote:

yeah if im going against high level guys Ill give the omo cause I know I can escape from there
in general I find the best way to stop RG is basic head driving into chin . most give give up cause it sucks for them
that being said Ive tapped to the carni more than I care to admit
and if your gonna demo RG at least do it correctly
Unless the guy is a monster at omoplata game, as are few in the world I presume, seems to be the classic position over submission card.Quote:

Realistically those are the two things most people have the hardest time dealing with in RG. Pressuring in and finishing OMO.
A lot of people I played RG on would just turn out and give OMO on purpose because they had very good OMO defenses. Once they would pull out to OMO it was a hard battle where at best I would score a pass. That's why I started playing with ways to lock their head in like hindu and gunshow. I probably just suck at OMO, but I don't like going to it and I actually try to keep them from giving it to me as the 10P guys that have felt it a million times are very hard to even secure a pass out of it.
I wouldnt really say it's a defense as such. there's no countering or anything, it's just jumping into a submission and hoping he can get out of it quicker than the guy can put it on. THere is soo much more the RG guy could do. I love my omoplatas and I love rolling around after them a la marcelo garcia. Putting your leg over like that leads straight to an attack on the legs.
When will they learn that if they want to beat rubberguard they should come train with 10th planet?

I force omo regularly rather than deal with invisible collar or some other stagnate position. It usually works as long as I initiate the movement to omo, that means they are playing catchup. Other than that, I "don't do shit." Play home alone and really keep my hips square with theirs without allowing my elbows to be manipulated until a well timed duckout or I get posture back.
Ya'll need to work on your jiu claw and omo finishes then. Omo is my go to off the basic path,gotta bunch of omo ninjas and omo flippers in the Roc as well.
I like to go to omoplata all the time, but everyone at my gym acts like it's useless. Why do so many people treat omoplata like it's a bad thing to do?
They haven't put the reps in.Quote:

Ty for posting this Mojo. It still looks like he's getting the shin under the chin for the Frodoplata, or can you still do this without the shinbone under the chin?Quote:

I'll crank it at 25% power then move up slowly from there, and only if they have a mouth piece during training. I've never used a face crush submission before or been put in so I have no idea how painful it is.Quote:
