I remember hearing something about the london position but I don't recall why Eddie didn't like it.
Was there a perceived weakness in it or did it just not fit into the RG flow?

Anyway Shawn's been using the position for a long time and he has a lot of go to moves from there -armbars, omoplatas, triangles. I haven't played around with the position much so I can't comment on it's effectiveness. I can say that some people that aren't as flexible seem to benefit from the Williams guard more than rubber guard. For me flexibility isn't much of a problem.

London is a ait if you go top speed against not so good bjj guys. but if ppl dont see that they can cartwheel out of London they wont see a omoplata coming from closedguard either :P

Still, love your videos Jake

And love the fact that the "Williams Guard" is a trashed 10thplanet move :O
