Everything has a counter, all part of the evolution of the system and martial arts in general. I wouldn't panic yet.
Nice little break down, but let's see him just stack out of Orchard or Bollingers rubber guard

But again like herb said ^
It is similar to how I defend, I don't go ear to ear though. I have a massive head I use it by driving into the neck and chin. It works pretty well for me.
It's all a matter of having the flexibility down and having correct arm position though!? In both the MMA example and the instructional the arm frame against the collarbone/neck is not there, so of course it's "easy" to stack and slide through..
Adding to that. firas offers ample opportunity for a zombie. While it is not always correct to go fast through the RG path, you need to be able to react quickly and appropriately. While he is trying to stack you, you should be making angles and trapping his arm by either zombieing or grabbing a free new york. once the frame is strong it is a lot harder to stack and a lot less effective.Quote:

in saying that, the RG player can then switch sides and possibly set you up even better. This is why I agree with kevin that pressuring in the middle works better.
Keep arms safe from zombies, and put head in middle :)
Every guard can be dealt with. This is a quality reaction to the rubber guard. There are also quality reactions to this reaction. And so forth.
I'm a fan of Firas.
Yes.. just pointing out that the "stack slide through" thing becomes a bit harder if the mission arm is framing against the collarbone/neck. The guys in the video has the arm nearly extended, which again has to do with poor flexibility. Am i wrong? Other than that i totally agree, every guard can be dealt with like you say. :)
Btw. loved your Metamoris tune, Brandon! Peace from Norway!
I agree. There are things you can do to prevent him from stacking effectively. There are also hinga he can do to keep you from playing rubber guard effectively.Quote:

Excellent defense. A good stack can counter all guards including the rubber guard. People been stacking me for over 20 years. It's like the sprawl against double legs, it's all about how you match up with your opponents and if you know the counter to the counter to the counter to the counter and so on. If I said I've never had my rubber guard shut down by a good stack that would be like Jon Fitch saying his double leg shots have never been stuffed by sprawls. Stacking and posturing are the best guard counters, get some of that in your game :)
if u read the comment section youll see the guy doing rg doesn't do rg, he was just an example :) so yeah, he wasnt doing it to perfection thats for sure lol.
