10th Planet Watch – 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Van Nuys Blog

I think this video is where Eddie got the idea for “The Sorcerer.” If I were this guys wife, I’d sue.

“this is a move my wife landed on me by accident and i looked everywhere online to try and find it but i havent found it yet. not gunna lie she made me tap.”

Another installment of the Rubber Guard Police Department. It’s time to put the infamous (not really), Criss Cross Control, to the test! Is it the new double bagger? Or will it be thrown to the side like so many other techniques that didn’t make the cut. YOU BE THE JUDGE!

Is it legit or do we throw them in with the pit vipers?

“I do not pretend to be an expert on the rubber guard or anything Jiu-Jitsu. This was taken the same night that we “discovered” the counter. (no, we don’t train at Matt’s house – We didn’t have a camera with us at the college). Also, I don’t know if anybody else has ever done this / discovered this before us, I have just never seen it before and thought is was worth sharing. One last thing: I know that I have a crappy Kung Fu move! I’m sorry, I’m working on it. I said I wasn’t an expert.”

Legit or not? YOU be the judge.

“Pro MMA training and technique advice! Learn how to take the back and throw with a twister in this free online video covering mixed martial arts back attacks.”

Ok team, welcome to another installment for The Rubber Guard Police Department. Is this guy legit? Yes or no?

This guy asked me for some feed back. I’m really lazy, I figured I’d post it and let you guys decide.

For those who don’t know about the RGPD, it stands for the Rubber Guard Police Department. We here at 10th Planet Watch would like to give you a brief history of it’s inception. The RGPD was founded in 2008, by the legendary, Coach Alder Hampel. It was his dream to one day weed out all the terrible youtube videos showing his beloved 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu techniques, done incorrectly. He utilized his special formula called the “On Blast” method. This consisted of a combination of sarcasm, wit, and brutality to deter people from posting wack videos.

Alder rallied his friends from www.10thplanetwatch.com, to help aid in the fight. Thus, the alliance was formed, and the RGPD was born! The Rubber War was waged. This time the battle fields were on the message boards and the mats of pig headed BJJ dojos. Vicious battles ensued, egos were crushed and a new breed of educated, reasonable Jiu Jitsu players emerged.

Long live the RGPD

“Here is a clip demonstrating the Indian Death Lock counter to the Whip Up. We’ve covered the Indian Death Lock Counter to the Lockdown and now we’d like to show the same counter to the Whip Up. The major emphasis should be focused on the timing of the counter and when to execute the Indian Death Lock.”

Big Thanks to Greg for this one, I lol’d IRL.

Explain you answers, somebody might learn something.

Rubber guard can get a lot of bad press sometimes. They say, “it’s bad for my knees. It doesn’t work unless you’re super flexible. Eddie Bravo stole my girlfriend.” I believe many people are either doing it wrong or are just hating. It’s ok to not use it as part of your game. That’s a personal Choice. As far as it being bad for my knees, I’ve never had any real problems. But hey let’s face it, Jiu Jitsu probably isn’t that good for your body anyways. I’m also not the most flexible person on earth, but I can still pull off a lot of the stuff. One of the big reasons I think it gets bad press is, the amount of people showing it done incorrectly. This prompted me to come up with a new Government agency, The RGPD (Rubber Guard Police Department). This is for your safty, for the safty of your wives and most importantly the safty of your children. Remeber folks, I care.

If you’d like to join us here at the RGPD, please send us all videos of people performing RG incorrectly to alder at 10thplanetwatch dot com. I will post them and let all my Rubber Guardiacs review them and decide what has been done wrong. I encourage sending any and all tapes. The best ones I’ve seen so far were, the english guy from straight blast uk, Gene Simco and Robert Drysdale.

I’m all about creating conciousness, and having a little fun in the process. Happy hunting!
