correct me if im wrong.

ok so eddie has the rubber guard he is real good at it trust me i seen him in action. BUT (like i said correct me if im wrong) it seems to me that a lot of the guys that are doing the rubber guard on each other have real small frames (small shoulder long skinny legs) if you are flexible and your partner has a small frame it would be easy to wrap his shoulders. i notice to that when i play (high guard) my opponent has a small frame. im not skinny or fat (medium built) put im pretty flexible. and i cant get my legs high on big guys. im not eddie but i dont recall seen him or any of his student apply it to a big guy.

my buddy just started going to eddies and he is kinda heavy same as me but with a beer belly. i thing he will have some trouble.

point being im not a fan of rubber guard. and i thing i just figure out why. let me know if im wrong.
 
If you are flexible and able to break his posture and obtain the overhook, that should be enough for rubber guard control.
