Rubber Guard

Also known as: 10th Planet Guard · New York (position)

A high closed guard where the bottom player overhooks their own shin across the opponent’s back, clamping posture down with one leg and freeing a hand to attack. Created and systematized by Eddie Bravo at 10th Planet — the gateway to the gogoplata, omoplata, and back takes without any gi grips.
