[Andrew Maxwell]

I love getting smashed! I always feel like I've gained and learned the most after I've had my ass handed to me.

Hello, everyone

I haven't been to a class in around six months. Usually I just roll with some friends of mine in the wrestling room at school. My friends are a good 50 pounds heavier than me, but I always manage to tap them out just because have a little experience over them. We always work on rubber guard with videos from youtube and stuff and I like to think I have gotten pretty good with it. However, I am in Colorado visiting a sister of mine so I decided to try out a local Gracie Combatiives dojo they had here. I got annihilated! They blew through my rubber guard, won all the scrambles, and proceeded to tell me that 10p sucks dick. I wasn't offended because I'm not exactly good anyway, but how did they shut me down so easily? Do you think it's just because I haven't rolled against actual experienced partners lately? Can anyone give me some tips for rubber guard?

I think that has something to do with it. Train with guys better than you and they will make you better. They will show you the holes you need to fill. They will force you to do your techniques properly. They will improve your defense. And you might pick up a move or two while rolling. Tips for rubber guard? More practice. Learn from an actual instructor.

Good luck. Keep working at it.
