I've never technically "learned" it. I just know the position so I play around with it. It's very off-balancing to your opponent/partner

x-guard is jsut another dimension to the game...

by u denying the fact that the x-guard has significance means u are single minded and prolly suck at grappling...

Yeah. Absolutely. And if you can get someone swept face down, you can immediately scramble to their back.

wow how did i miss this thread

iv personally never been able to use the x-guard effectivly, maybe im not good ad it or maybe i dont know what im doing, but it deffinetly sets up leg locks, kneebars, knee cranks (which i dont like doing) and such.

but im never in my guard long enough to like a specific one :) jk.... butterfly or open all the way.

What kind of insecure loser has to keep coming on a board like this and telling people his belt status or his mma record? In your case I doubt its true and Im not impressed if it was. Its sad because I seem to know more than a so called three stripe purple belt. Why don't you impress us with your knowledge instead of saying strange things which makes it seem like you don't even do jujutsu.

Noone likes you, your an annoying internet toughguy and you need to learn that noones impressed with some douchebag over the internet. If you had a true martial artist attitude you would learn to spell and you wouldnt brag. In the future you will learn its only the most pathetic people that have to tell others about their accomplishments. You will also learn its even more pathetic to act like a toughguy over the internet. Go back to Sherdog kid, this place isnt for you.

I'm no 3 stripe purple belt but I've never been admonished by a website owning gimmick either. The video spoke for itself.

I've haven't seen the owner of this site rebuke the actions of anyone like that since Hans was still around.

On topic: I suck at BJJ but I am anxious to learn and experiment with the rubber guard after seeing it in action on a few occasions.
