Help with Crackhead control?

[samstevenstaley]

Being a pretty flexible guy, I love to tie my opponents up with the rubber guard and work from there. My sensi directed me to Eddie Bravo, so I started watching some online tutuorials, and I was instantly hooked. Yet, try as I may, I still can't find a tutorial on how to do Crackhead control (a double rubber guard), and am too broke to buy his book on the rubber guard. has anybody out there found anything that may be able to help me or know how to do it themselves?

no one on line can possibly help you learn crackhead control if your instructor himself doesn't know it

You just kind of bring your other leg up. I also think Bravo covers it in one of his "Mastering the System" episodes, but I don't know which one. Also, see if you can find his book at the local library. You'd be surprised.

Crackhead control is indeed tricky - here is a solution.

Step 1: go to google

Step 2: Type "BJJ in _______" (insert your current city or town of residence)

Step 3: Find a legit black belt in your town or city of residence that offers gi classes.

Step 4: Visit the said class taught by the said black belt

Work four extra hours at your job and buy the book.

Why crackhead? Did you see a move you like for it or something? For control? Just get mission control and bring your other leg up and hook your feet. I like double bagging more though.

Have you thought about switching to corndog from moonpie control?

this.

If you are too broke to afford 5 bucks at least for 1 month, you are lying.

Or, just work a high guard.

There is this thing called nogi grappling. It exists.

Don't be a douche.

There's also modern, proven and effective grappling, and there's what ever Eddie Bravo teaches.

He is not the be all end all of no gi grappling, and neither is his system.

10th Planet has done better in submission grappling competition than any catch schools, so they're not at the bottom of nogi systems.

Haters gonna hate on the system, ignore it. the way i started using the rubber guard was just working on one piece of it at the time, when i started using crackhead control it wasnt really to transition into anything else because i didnt know anything else from there. as i learned more, already having worked crackhead control made going into more advanced positions of the rubber guard easier. - as far as how to do it, its not a double rubber guard, thats the double bagger. you have mission control (before or after you zombie, doesnt matter) and the free foot u bring up over the foot in mission control

No one in this thread ever said Bravo was the pinnacle of nogi grappling.

But telling someone who's asking for advice about a nogi position to go take gi classes is a douche move.
