It always seems weird to me how much some people resist it or write it off as worthless. Maybe it's not that weird because I had a similar opinion some years ago before I ever started training and learning about it.

What do you think about their opinions?

These guys really know their shit. I hope one day they put out a DVD or webinar or book or anything so the world can benefit from their grappling expertise :-)

Damn I didn't know it took some many letters to spell HATERS.

WOW, I would like to right a freakin' book in that comments section.

The rubber guard is a conspiracy theory. All that rubber guard footage from actual Mma fights is like the footage of Tower 7 getting demo'd. Although people see it they still won't believe it

[Jeremy Gates]

This is my opinion on 10th planet/ lockdown / rubberguard / truck. If people don't believe it works or is useless that's a good thing. They won't rep it and won't understand how to defend properly makin attacking that much easier. I've got to rubber guard once in a tournament and the kid gave me New York because he didn't know u needed that arm on the mat. Made my life easy.

I read that article and have come up with my own conclusion/opinion: Those guys are NOT practitioner of the RG. Its like someone telling me how to raise my children when they themselves don't even have a child. How can they fully understand what they don't practice? Also even though I just found the RG about 4-5 months ago, I know that this 10thplanet and Master Eddie is NOT just about RG. Its a system!!!! those people just don't get it. WE HAVE A SYSTEM, NOT JUST THE RG. In these 4-5 months, we only scratched the surface of the SYSTEM. Sure RG don't always work, that is why there are more techniques within the SYSTEM, like the Prison guard to take the back or Prison guard to swim move to the spider web. But like Jeremy said, if haters continue to hate and don't show respect to the SYSTEM, then it will make our JOB even easier. One day when their people get caught in the RG or any other techniques within the SYSTEM, they will wish they pay more attention to the 10thplanet SYSTEM.

Where's Alex Jones to wrap this conspiracy up?

[Brent Smith]

Haters gonna hate.
