Eddie Bravo Demonstrating Rubber Guard To Rickson Gracie
BJPENN.COM News - July 23, 2014
Earlier today Joe Rogan brought Rickson Gracie onto the Joe Rogan Experience as his guest for the episode. After the show however Eddie Bravo, who is a regular face for those who watch the Joe Rogan Experience, approached Rickson to talk to him about his style of JiuJitsu, 10th Planet JiuJitsu. For those who don’t understand what a groundbreaking moment this is for JiuJitsu, let me explain. Rickson Gracie, the son of Helio Gracie, is the ‘head honcho’ of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in today’s time. Eddie Bravo on the other hand, has been on the receiving end of harsh criticism for his unorthodox style of Jiu-Jitsu, which doesn’t use the traditional Gi. Bravo calls his style “10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu”. Eddie Bravo basically invented a guard that he adapted for Jiu-Jitsu in MMA called the ‘Rubber Guard’.
