Mastering the Rubber Guard by Eddie Bravo, Erich Krauss, Glen Cordoza (2006)

Mastering the Rubber Guard is a book for all Martial Artists, who want to take there game to another level. This is a book that has touched on techniques that other manuals have never touched on before. If you watch MMA or UfC style fighting, you will notice that most fights are finished from a pounding from the half guard. Evan Tanner is a good example of great GnP from the Half Guard. But, while the man on the bottom is just demolished, there haven't been any one talking about attacks from the half guard just escapes in Jiu Jitsu competition with no punches. With this book you will be given an arsenal of attacks, escapes, transitions. Eddie Bravo lays out his whole game here in a step by step process that will make you more deadly off your back than ever before. The only thing I dislike to fully take advantage of the tecniques in this book are that you have to have considerable amount of flexibilty to pull them off. But to be a good Martial Artist you have to be flexible to a degree, but you have to be considerably flexible to pull of the move in this book. So I must say if your a serious competitor great book to own. And if your a novice to a beginner also a great place to start. Start with a new style, do the unexpected, it's the new style off your back in MMA, see Nick Diaz, Shinya Aoki. Adapt or Tap.
