What Is the Advanced Rubber Guard?
The rubber guard advanced system builds on the foundational mission control position to create a complete submission hunting game from closed guard. Developed by Eddie Bravo and refined over decades, it chains positions together to maintain control and threaten submissions simultaneously.
Key Positions in the Advanced System
- Mission Control β breaking posture and establishing the rubber guard platform
- New York β transitioning the leg to the back of the opponent's head
- Jiu Claw β trapping the arm for submission entries
- Crackhead Control β advanced positional variant for flexible practitioners
- Zombie Position β transition to triangle or omoplata from mission control
Submission Chains from Rubber Guard
The system creates interconnected threats: triangle from new york, omoplata from jiu claw, gogoplata when the opponent postures strongly, and arm bars when they try to posture out. The beauty of the system is that defending one attack walks into another.
Flexibility Requirements & Drills
Hip flexor flexibility is critical. Daily hip opening drills, yoga, and consistent solo rubber guard practice build the required range of motion over months of training.
Rubber Guard Against Passing Pressure
Dealing with strong pressure passers requires combining rubber guard with leg lock entries β threatening downstairs forces the opponent to posture up into upper body submissions.
