rubber guard trouble, need advice....

[Brian Beaumont AKA Thor]

Not alot of guys using the force. I was introduced to it about a year ago in Phoenix by John and have been using it ever since. Game changer for me.

You're not faking an armbar. You're scooping under the leg as if you were doing a basic armbar. That'll stop him from going straight up the middle with his knee.
Invisible crackhead might be a better option for you. Hard to stop the zombie or pump that way

kay i know the stack pump to deep hook to c-cup but just the position i was in i couldnt do that. i know it seems weird. i couldnt scoop under any knew cuz the but were out of my reach.... this is hard to explain. eerrrr idk what invisible crackhead is....

Crackhead control with a zombie
Crackhead control with a pump
Invisible crackhead control with a zombie
Invisible crackhead control with a pump

If I can't hit these i give up on full guard and open it up looking for butterfly or x.

Sometimes you just have to abandon full guard and play open guard. If it means keeping guard its worth it

o i just seen you said off that ground. no my shoulders where on the ground but i cant really remember if my back was. i think pretty much just my shoulders were on the ground

When me and some friends first got into the 10th planet style it was the only jiu jitsu we knew so we ran into problems that you're having which is that your opponent knows what your doing so he gets better at defending it. A problem for me is that when i started to use crackhead control a lot of people try to power out by standing up and then i would get slammed or have to let go and then i didn't have any control at all. What i started doing when they stand up is abandon crackhead control, sit up and wrap my arms around and high up on my opponents back. When you do this you have to be careful to keep your head up and on the outside otherwise they might give you a wicked guillotine. You can stick your left leg in the back of his right knee and with your right leg you can use your foot to push his left knee out further. I find that this puts him off balance. After that just use that bear hug you have on him and pull him back into your guard. If you down wanna play game all day i suggest you start with mission control and keep the heel of your free foot in your opponents thigh and keep pushing his knee out from under him. If you do that he's gonna have a really hard time postering up. Another option instead of pulling him back into your guard with the bear hug is your right leg could easily come in after you push his knee out and put a lockdown on his other leg and sweep his ass. Now yer on top and he's in a different fight. Havent rolled in a long time so if you guys have any comment on this post the critiques are appreciated.

iv been trying a new setup that seems to be pretty promising.. imagine this, invisible crackhead to ninja choke. sounds crazy.. but it has potential. i wish i could video the setup but all my training partners are too stuck up

you have to admit though, all of roberts advice is gold. once he gives you an answer, they may as well close the thread
