I don't think Eddie's concepts are insane, but they are definitely creative! I have been training for about 13 months. I did 1 rubber guard hour private lesson and been to maybe 5 classes that included any part of rubber guard. I have watched lots of the videos on it and I am always trying to get into mission control in live rolling.
However, I have visited 4 other gyms where I have been able to get into rubber guard at least once each time. Mostly just got into mission control and zombied then gave it up as I struggle to get elsewhere. Recently I got to invisible collar on a blackbelt at a gym I was visiting. I didn't attempt to finish from there as I am not knowledgeable in the position or know the other paths from there so I just gave up the position after a few seconds. However, it felt awesome to my ego haha and it has me even more excited about the rubber guard.
One other note, that same black belt instructor(a non- 10th planet gym) taught the class an entry to the truck, the vaporizer and crotch ripper submissions which I thought was so cool of him and shows that there are other gyms out there watching the videos and appreciating the 10P system.
I also loved what Scott had to say in response. Happy training brother
