Just got my copy of "Mastering the Rubber Guard" and I have to say: game changer. What little I knew of BJJ went out the window. 10th planet JJ for LIFE! But seriously, just reading the first 25 pages let me know that indeed I was stepping into a larger universe, I just cant wait to roll with my crew this Sunday and pass on some knowledge!

awesome that your learning the system. but bro its not about what you already know going out the window. dont throw it away, 10pjj is just another tool to add to your arsenal. keep an open mind dont close it off to other systems just cause you think 10th planet is the shit.

hope you dont take this comment the wrong way master eddie

You are right Don't throw everything else away, learn from as many guys as you can and get your own individual style, that's what the best guys do. Everybody has their own game!

Thanks for the comments guys. Though the whole "out the window" was just a figure of speech, I've taken about 6 months of classes in about 5 different martial arts over the years, just enough to really get the basics down then I would move on. Ive found that there is *always* something bad-ass tucked away in every martial art. I mean for the longest time I thought Tae Kwon Do was a waste of time, then I roomed with a kid who almost qualified for TKD in the Olympics. I would rib him that he got his blackbelt at a McDojo and he would admit most of TKD wasn't really effective in a street situation, it was around then that he showed me what a proper spinning back kick looks and feels like. I swear it was like I wasn't even holding the strike pad. I got folded in half and the wind knocked out of me.

So if Im really saying anything here, its that there is value in nearly everything if you look hard enough, its just up to you to pick it up and keep it in your arsenal. Hell, I still use some of my footwork from fencing.

yah man, when i watched the dvd M.T.RG it was a technique i only knew ONE thing about, from guard you throw a leg up and hold it here and you can punch and THAT WAS IT... so i went into watching the dvd in like "okay lets see what you can do with this potential position" and i start watching and realize ITS 3 HOURS? HOW IS THERE 3 HOURS ON THIS! (i think it was more like 2 hr 45 but eitherway it was FULL) and i was watching eddie go through EVERYTHING in his "bag of tricks" at that time and when i was done i was BLOWN AWAY like I CANT BELIEVE I JUST UPPED MY SKILLS

its highly interesting im surprised more people dont trust in it like we all do
