Rubber Guard Help

[Cody Wood]

Totally new to the system. I've been familiar I with the basic path though, and have seen the new path on MTS. In the gym I find when I break the posture and get to mission control and zombie the arm, the other arm is also on the mat instead of on my stomach. This keeps it out of the mix for muddy water options. Should I just go down the basic path if both of their hands are on the mat?

If both hands are on the mat..it's all you player. They gave it to you on a platter. Gogoplata, omoplata, carni if you like or happen to have a butterfly hook, and so much more. Lots of options. Find what you like from there. :-)

That's great news lol. Thanks!

Butterfly guard and prison guard work well in conjunction with that rubber guard.

If they keep their hand on the mat but you want to try to work for the arm bar, get to invisible collar. Once there, if they are still keeping both arms on mat, start working gogos , or just really smash them. Either of those may open them up enough for you to swing your far leg over h his shoulder to lock it to go back to muddy waters. And if not, being in invisible collar is not a bad place to be. You can also look up the sorcerer for arm bars from there, or just go to Jiu claw.
