Advanced rubber guard techniques including mission control, new york, jiu claw, and submission chains for BJJ.
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.
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.
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.
