I LOVE rubber gaurd...So easy to pull off my omoplatas from there (thats my fav. sub as well as the gogo)...Triangles were a weak point of mine (people would always find a way out) but with rubber gaurd I can set people up in them much easier...
In my BJJ class (nothing but BJJ) on monday and weds. when I roll..I use nothing but rubber gaurd from bottom and it keeps on improving week by week...Definetly something I am going to use in my next tournament in June...
George, do you compete in any tournaments? Or do you just train?

i have never competed in a BJJ tournament outside of inhouse ones. I am constantly being used on my fight team for all weight classes though as head BJJ training partner for upcoming MMA matches and if i do compete in a BJJ tournament i am going to be in a weird spot being as i am a catch wrestler and we dont have an easy system to rank like belts... so if i go against white belts its completely unfair and i will hurt someone... but if i got against purple belts it might be a little to advanced... not sure. I currently have wins over multipul blue belts... I know if i compete on that level i may win the tournament or lose but not get embarrassed but competing with purple belts is definitely more of a challenge and something i would really train for. I use to wrestle and competed in lots of wrestling tournaments so i am not worried about having multipul fights. My fear is getting frustrated. In wrestling someone takes a step backwards they lose a point in BJJ people run from me... I tend to pull guard a lot and i dont need to lose a boring match because i am on bottom and i couldnt get the takedown because they ran from me. I would just get pissed. Thats why i like MMA... its very hard to get away from my double leg when i kicked you in the leg a few times and put a jab in your face first.
