Hey y'all, I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any links or can point me in the right direction of who to study and/or get in contact with to learn rubber guard in the gi on a deeper level. I figure throughout the system there has to be some people who have put some time into this and I'd be greatly interested to see what they've come up with. Thanks so much.
I think Magnus Hansson, 10th Planet Sweden is big into 10th planet in the Gi.
I'm aware of his existence. Does he have any resources online and/or can anyone on this forum who trains with him convince him to come onto the forum?Quote:

I also use 10th planet moves in Gi. there are benefits to both Gi and no Gi, and one of the benefits to no Gi is, it usually seems to translate pretty well into Gi. This coming from a white belt of course....
I use RG in the gi. Some stuff is harder, like the zombie. There's more fabric, but some guys will also grab my collar to make it even harder to zombie. That grip also blocks the Duda.
I don't use x-chokes, but if I did I would probably be working on a way to set that up from crackhead or whatever.
Let us know if you figure out any tricks!
A path I end up using quite a bit is: New york > clear the neck > Chill dog (left hand hugging knee) > Crow bar (left hand) with Kung fu move > Switch the crow bar out, by reaching with my right hand over the top of my own left shin and under his throat while with pulling my left hand crowbar out, grab his far collar (with my right hand). Basically a Carni like position with a far side collar grip (using my right hand), you can go for the choke or try and finish the shoulder lock.
Bump your hips up, hard, when they're holding your collar while you're trying to zombie..
The bump up helps strip the grip, and immediately drop your hips back down, so you can hug your knee. It doesn't always work, but then again, nothing ever does..
I checked out Ben Eddy's video about zombieing the hand and avoiding the pitfall many rubber guard players make which is trying to zombie the elbow. I think your principle would coincide great with that as it relates to gi. I'm gonna hit the lab on this oneQuote:

Try Sean Williams guard, and the arm you have going under your leg, put that hand in the back of their collar. It works really well for me. Sometimes I prefer that over "rubber guard"..

(London aka Williams guard)
I'll give it a look. Thx
