Gogoplata from Rubber Guard

The rubber guard gogoplata uses the flexibility of the bottom player to control posture while executing the choke. The bottom player traps the opponent’s posture and limits mobility, creating a highly efficient choke.

While uncommon in competition due to flexibility demands, it demonstrates modern BJJ’s creativity, blending body mechanics, grip control, and positional strategy. It is particularly effective against opponents who overcommit to posturing or passing attempts.
