Movie Reviews of Mastering The Rubber Guard
Movie Review: Advanced techniques+ Attitude + Music & More = Great DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This can be one of the most important reviews you ever read if you apply the knowledge that this DVD and I am about to share with you into your life.
To take full advantage of Eddie's Mastering the Rubber Guard you should already know the basics of the guard and mount from a Gracie or equivalent type video.
Assuming you have the basics under your belt Bravo shows you many ways to apply submission holds starting from the bottom. Many of the tap out holds he developed have his own quirky names, but that is OK. The main thing is they are unknown to many jiu-jitsu practitioners so they should work for you if you practice them.
But what makes this DVD great is not that it has a lot of neat escapes and counters and so on, it's that it showcases a man that is doing what he loves in various pursuits of his life. He is not worried what society thinks, he is into enjoying life and mastering many different areas.
If you take that attitude and live your life that way you are on your way to becoming much more happy and successful than most of those around you.
Besides practicing the ground game on this video you also need to make sure your kicking and punching game is up to par. Is it? If not get a DVD on low kicks and also study some Wing Chun or Kali/escrima to get your hand speed up.
There are many fine instructional videos out there. I highly recommend Marco Lala, Mark Hatmaker, Matt Furey, and the guy that used to be Lt. X but has recently changed to Capt. Chris in the close combat series.
If you want to take advantage of this review on Eddie's dvd then you also need to study some of the material by the other guys that I mentioned. Decide that you are going to have a complete fight game. Being able to roll on the mat is great, but there are times you absolutely don't want to be on the ground such as in a bar fight with your attacker's buddies coming at you with a beer bottle or pool stick in their hand. You must learn to be able to get up quickly. Practice these type of escapes.
Become like a Special Forces guy that must get up and take cover before a sentry comes and spots and shoots him.. That is how good you want to get at getting up and getting gone.
But also I want you to take this DVD and incorporate it into being the total person you dream of being. You can accomplish great things in only 20 minutes a day. Practice the moves 2 or 3 times a week and then pursue some other goal on other days of the week. Need to build up your endurance? Then go to a track twice a week. If it is a 440 yard track and you can only jog half way around that is a start. Walk three laps and jog a half lap. Do that 3 times twice a week. Then once every two weeks figure out how far you can cover in a minute and a half or two minutes and do a normal lap but the last 1/4th speed up a little bit and then the last 10th of a lap finish with a kick. This is your speed day. One week two normal jogging days, then the next week one normal and one speed jogging day. Your endurance will grow faster than you thought possible.
Maybe you want to increase your strength. Then lift weights every 3 or 4 days. Don't worry about that every other day, 3 times a week stuff. Every 3 or four days is plenty often enough to get strong.
Want to become flexible to be able to do some of the moves Eddie shows? Then study Yoga two or three times a week. Studying Mastering the Rubber Guard can be part of your overall game plan. You are using it to become the total package you want to be.
You should know that there are some nasty, even lethal counters to the positions that Bravo demonstrates. While I really like this instructional disc I worry that people don't realize how deadly an encounter with a trained fighter or soldier can become. They aren't used in competition because most people don't want to cause permanent harm to someone in a sporting event. Just know they are people floating around out there that can deliver such moves. They don't show them to the public or teach them to the public as a general rule, but I figure they will start to leak out in the future.
Well, Use your time wisely and pursue your dreams. If you want to learn to play guitar like Eddie Bravo then do that on the days you aren't studying this DVD.
To finally make this one of the most important reviews you will ever read, get these two time management books..one by Alan Lakein,How To Get Control Of Your Time And Your Life, I'll list it again since it is listed twice How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life (Signet), and Dan Kennedy's no BS time management No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs (No B.S. Series) and make sure you are doing the most important thing to you in your life. And that, my friend, is how to make this the most important review you will read in a long time.
