I've been experimenting with some of eddie bravo's ground techniques lately with moderate success. So I went ahead and ordered two of his books, "Mastering the Rubber Guard" and "Mastering the Twister". There is only so much sensei youtube can teach. Mastering the Rubber Guard has a section of nothing but stretches that I'm interested in. It's time to upgrade to crazy legs 2.0 😀

For those who don't know who Eddie Bravo is, he is a BJJ black belt under jean-jaque machado and his claim to fame is submiting Royler Gracie at the ADCC grappling tournament a few years back by triangle choke. He was a brown belt at the time, and has gone on to develop his own system called 10th planet jiu-jitsu. His entire system doesn't rely on the gi. A lot of his stuff requires great flexibility and unusual holds. His move "The Twister" was banned from competition, probably because of the tremendous pressure that can be applied to the neck.

Yeah, he's an interesting cat. Very, very flexible, for sure (I couldn't do the rubber guard to save my life). Very charismatic, too, an interesting teacher to watch.

He also uses a very interesting method of naming his techniques that might sound silly at first, but it makes it all highly memorable (easier than obscure Japanese names that don't really have any true meaning to English speakers).

I think I could get my legs close to doing rubber guard, but my belly keeps getting in the way 😂. Derrick, you should try looking at the submissions101 website/youtube. That guy posts a bunch of stuff from Eddie Bravo/10th Planet Juijitsu.

I am "familiar" with submissions101 😉

Guess who else is "familiar" with submissions 101? viewtopic.php?f=3&t=570

That's right.....this guy! Ugh!

I should revise my comentary from that post. Ari's a good guy, and and lot of his stuff is good. But the videos he's been putting up lately are garbage. He's basically letting other folks get pub by posting their stuff under the submissions 101 banner. I haven't seen anything wothwhile in the vids he's put up since making that change.
