So where are U training? I was interested in doing some form of grappling at some point
Right now, I train at RGA High Wycombe with Kev Capel, a BJJ school (I go into detail about exactly what the classes are like here).
especially after watching some great vids about Eddie Bravo and his Rubber Guard.
Eddie Bravo is a good teacher with interesting ideas, but unless you're actually training with him, I tend to be of the opinion that its better to get some fundamentals down before attempting rubber guard (as per FAQ).
If you're looking for some general advice about getting into BJJ, I babble about it at length here. Naturally BJJ isn't the only option: wrestling, judo and SAMBO are also all great grappling styles, with plenty of aliveness and competitive opportunities.
