Options if failed hand to the mat from mission control

Heya! I'm a white belt and im fairly proficient in the rubber guard. So far its the best part of my game, however, I'm looking for ways or entries from other scenarios and positions other than closed guard. So far I can only get into the rubber guard through closed guard or getting a meathook from butterfly guard and z guard. I don't want to force getting into the rubber guard but since its the best part of my game, I gravitate towards getting into it during rolls. Maybe there is a concept I'm missing, but are there other entries besides starting from closed guard?

Hey Andre!

That's awesome you are a rubber guard fan. Where are you located?

Are you familiar with the warm ups? I would look at warm up series F, specifically the super stomp trasition to cocoon. This gives you an overhook to work with. You can also get a flying kung fu when you opponent has head and arm control from top while you wre in the lockdown if you clear your knee inside, similar to the super stopm. That my be an entry to explore (hope i didnt use too much 10p lingo!)

Also, dont forget rubber guard from the mount! Especially when your opponent has double underhooks on you.

Hope this helps. :)
