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

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!
