how to deal with people who dont like rubber guard.

[Harry Evans]

Just because someone is wrong doesn't mean that you have to argue with them, or that you can't learn from them. I train in the gi, but I use RG all the time. The point is that overall, he is a black belt, and you are a white belt. Ignore what you disagree with, or bring it up on here to figure out how to use other methods. But mainly, learn his traditional style of bjj because it will help your entire game ... even your RG. Then, you can cross train with 10th planet, or experiment with things like RG during open mats. And when you get a purple belt or so, you can move to another gym to get exactly what you want (now that you know specifically what you want).

Also, check out Marcelo's place, it's amazing.

I personally would taze him in the parking lot, but that's just me.

I befriend them and earn their trust. Then after I have infiltratd his life and am best man at his wedding and godfather to his children. I twister everything he has ever loved.

i dont like the gi but all this people they just want you to wear the gi i really dont get it. i never grabed the gi to do arm bar triangle, near naked choke, leg locks. with rubber guard i notice that people who know the rubber guard see the fight more clearly they understand the transtion and what summisson is coming sometimes we even anticipate the counter. tradtional gi jiu jitsu they tend to do the bread and butter type of summission. in rubber guard each move follows steps to prevent counters and high failing rates. there is big difference when you put under hook than grabing sleeves. once in awhile i go into different gym i just roll with people for fun you will be amazed how many people dont know how to do under hooks and over hook i learn the hooks form the rubber guard. rubber guard helps me understand how to avoid the ground and pound. when the punches are coming its hard to avoid them without rubber guard.

Did you want us to tell you you're right and agree with you or do you honestly want advice?

I personally am a fan of my approach.
