Josh Barnett trained grappler wins Intermediate Grappling X Absolute w/ Rubber Guard

Thought this might get you guys talking!

145lber Victor Henry won the Intermediate Absolute at Grappling X the other week, and uses a couple of Rubber Guard basics to setup an armbar then triangle for the win.

This is form Josh's youtube channel, so Josh took the footage and you can hear him coach.

sloppy rubber guard against a typical wrestler putting his hands on the mat. anyone with a tight rubber guard game would've ended that one quickly. Nice to see someone working on it and using it in competition though!

Victor used to train with us

I thought his rg looked alright. Some guys can rip out of things, especially wrestlers

True that. Sometimes you can pinch the knees, leg curl and hug that knee all you want and they will get out. Just keep attacking like Victor did and he'll give you something. nice work

Cool! Why'd he leave, location reasons? Fullerton's quite away from 10thPHQ right?

Yea, like Brent said. Victor trained with us back when Legends was at Hawthorne and LaBrea. Ahh, the good ol' days.

Sooo frustrating when that happens too!
