TFW- The Rubber Guard & Twister Side Control

The Rubber Guard and Twister Side Control from TFW was a different video set. While I didn’t really expect to see this set from them, I am glad that they did it. I don’t really use the Rubber Guard very much, but this video did help to turn me on to it a little bit. I don’t have very good flexibility, so to see someone else who admittedly doesn’t have great flexibility yet was able to use the rubber guard was motivational if nothing else. Another great asset is to see the Rubber Guard explained by someone OUTSIDE of the 10th Planet circle. All of those guys are GREAT at using the Rubber Guard, but they all also have great flexibility. It was nice to see a more applicable spin on the rubber guard for the average guy like me.

For the Twister Side Control part- again, it was great to see the Twister Roll setup explained by someone OTHER than the 10th Planet guys. TFW didn’t go into nearly as many setups as the 10th Planet guys use for the Twister Side Control, but they did expand nicely on the basics of Twister Side Control and Rubber Guard.

All in all- while I appreciate the time it took to make these videos, I doubt that the 10th Planet style of grappling will ever be my “go-to” skills. I rate this set with 4 stars.
