Rubber Guard – Stopping the Pass and Getting Offensive – 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu – Brandon Mccaghren

Rubber Guard can be intimidating, especially for those of us with less flexibility. But if you can do a good butterfly stretch, you can play pretty much any position in the Rubber Guard pretty safely. It’s really all about angles, winning the inside space, and dexterity over flexibility. Just like everything else in Jiu Jitsu!

As with all things, it’s not gonna work for you in the beginning. But as you build hours and mat time, you’ll be able to find these plays from the Rubber Guard.

If you’d like to see my full tutorial on the Rubber Guard, specifically The Meathook, it’s available here through BJJ Fanatics:

“Rubber Guard is a staple of the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu System.

It’s used to control posture and create angles to find submissions like armlocks and triangle chokes.

One horrible route you can go with the rubber guard is the gogoplata or gogo clinch paths which requires clearing the head. This is something bmac specializes in.

It can be a horrible move to make if you make it about flexibility but if you make it about finding angles even the less flexible guys can do it.”
