3 of my matches at NAGA in Dallas Dec 10, 2011

[Harry Evans]

Yeah I love that guy's strategy ..."I'm down by 2, so I'm going to lock this guy in my body triangle and not let go. That'll show em!

[Eric Schuettenberg]

Nice work Ruben

[Ruben Rivera]

He got one point for attempting the guillotine so it was 2-1. I had to show him what attacks from the guard are like. I'm sure it was a learning experience for him.

[Ruben Rivera]

Nice work Ruben

Thanks man. I spoke with a couple of guys who said they were with 10th Planet St. Louis. There were like 20 of you?!

[Eddie Bravo]

Great work Ruben, I am VERY proud of you and especially your guard work, you have the potential to be one of the top rubber guard players in our association, keep polishing the jitz, keep wrestling like a madman, and take your strength levels to the highest levels, holding down the 10th Planet Sante Fe fort won't be easy

[James Fazzolari]

Really great stuff, very enjoyable

[Ruben Rivera]

Thanks Eddie. Your recognition means a lot to me and the Santa Fe guys. We're working hard to step up our jits game.

[Nate Harris]

Awesome job, Rubes. Didn't I tell you your rubber guard was sick? I was just telling him the other day that I panic whenever I'm in his guard.

[Angel"EL DIABLO"Diaz]

Definitely some nasty Rubber Guard, If this keeps up alot of hate toward the Rubber Guard and its "effectiveness" can no longer hold this just motivates the hell outta me to train more lol

[Nate Harris]

At our last local tournament I was coaching one of our guys during his match and he got mount so I started yelling at him, "Ok, Eddie, now get to high mount! Good, now go to gangsta lean! Go to gangsta lean!" And I heard people start to chuckle a little bit when I said it. After the match, the ref comes up and to me and says, "What the hell is the gangsta lean?" I laughed and winked at him.
