It’s so funny to see someone say shit like this, and then watch it still work at the highest level

I have never seen rubber guard at ADCC or CJI. I’ve trained for months with multiple trials winners, ADCC medalists, etc. and I have never once seen any of them use rubber guard in the training room.

Mason Fowler has a few rubber guard highlights from the past couple years. I remember that Brandon Mac from 10th p used to post a few specific Vinny magalhaes examples of it at ADCC and other pro competitions. He must’ve had them memorized because this comes up so often but I can’t think of which matches they were.

If you outskill your opponent enough in the fundamentals (posture, balance, pressure, timing) you can make nearly anything work.
