It is interesting to note that Shinya Aoki won at PRIDE Shockwave 2006 by a gogoplata choke from the Rubber Guard. At the same time, Bravo modified the traditional guard and half guard positions and attacks, calling his new no-gi guard position the Rubber Guard in reference to the high degree of flexibility required to apply it. In a September 2006 seminar (San Carlos, California), Eddie described this style of no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu style as "Greco-Roman jiu-jitsu" due to its introduction of clinches, hooks, and head controls - drawn from wrestling - that don't rely on the gi to get and hold a grip. In his book Bravo advocates "throwing out the gi" from the start for MMA and submission grappling fighters. In Jiu-Jitsu Unleashed, Bravo blames the stalemates on over-dependence on gi-based techniques which require a sleeve, collar, or pants leg to grab to initiate a submission or sweep. He is most famous for his win as a brown belt against Royler Gracie by triangle choke in the 2003 Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling championships and his unique style of no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, called 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu. Eddie "The Twister" Bravo (birth name Edgar Cano), is an American practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu who holds a black belt under Jean-Jacques Machado.
