In this video former UFC champion and Pride veteran Josh Barnett shows ways of ‘Snapping The Rubberguard’. The Rubberguard is a technique popularised and developed by JJ Machado blackbelt Eddie Bravo who made a name for himself submitting Royler Gracie by triangle. Rubberguard is a high half-closed guard used to keep an opponents posture broken and limits damage from ground strikes if used in MMA.

Rubberguard has not been without controversy especially for potential damage to your own knee if you’re not flexible enough or if not done correctly.

Barnett shows ways of attacking the Rubberguard when it is performed correctly, as well as attacking an attempted gogoplata (shin on throat choke) from this position.

This segment “Snapping The Rubberguard” can be found on Josh Barnett’s “Attacking The Guard” seminar DVD available from http://scientificwrestling.com
