We don’t know about that, it’s good but it doesn’t teach you the fundamentals

Excellent tech professor. There's always that one guy in the gym who is a wizard at negative half, nice to have a plan

This really improved my half guard. Thank you for instructionals like these. They really make a difference.

Yesss!!! I love these positional basics.

I love the octopus grip, use it all the time. These are some really good details that I'll be sure to implement. Thanks as always!

The production of this with voice over is so helpful. Thank you!

This explanation was incredible! So many beautiful details given away! Thanks a lot for the free content!

Amazing. Ever since I found octopus I didn't know how to make best use of it, this opens up so much. I voted for your gym and you in the awards as a thankyou

Thank you coach! This is really gonna help my half guard game!

Right in the bum. Ahh the ol bum sweep. Gotta love it

Thanks professor Zahabi for the video! Very helpful.

Incredibly helpful video. I've been backrolling to counter this out of instinct, but it's good to contextualize it within a set of 'moves'.

Cross-body is a big problem for the guard player. This was eye opening for me. Excellent as always. Thank you Professor!

Such a good explanation, I love this position very intuitive.

Thanks for the great information Coach.

Fantastic technique and strategies for. Great work thank you very much TRISTAR.!!!!

Watched this video like thirty times to get these moves down and they ate starting to work while I spar. Thanks!

Wow ... Extremely useful.

Such a great idea! Thank you for the detailed breakdown :)

Very good and simple to understand tutorial, I saw another one for gi first but this one is easier to understand. Thank´s for sharing.

Thanks for the video coach 😀

Thank you Professor: This is definitely on my drill list ASAP.

Thanks for posting this. Was getting stuck here a lot.

Couple of guys my gym does this to me all the time. Thanks so much for video.

Artist in action 😍😎 Thank you for sharing the knowledge. OSS

Great content. This is a position that was not explained very well to many blue and white-belts back in the 90's or early 2000s. Great content.

Still to this day!

Concise and precise. Love this format. I’m sure it takes a lot of extra effort to edit and narrate like this, but it makes a huge difference in consumability. Thank you!

Thank You,Coach Zahabi! I will go to jiu-jitsu now and I will try it out.

Thanks for the awesome lesson!

This is such an amazing way of teaching. Thank you mate. God bless

Great video, thank you!

was a super awesome time learning from you Coach :)

Thank you so much coach!

Great video 🙌

Very clear. Thank you!

I have been trying this sequence in class and it's working well !

Damn that was awesome. Thank you!!

Trying to find a video on octopus guard and found it, in the recommended I see this one and it is much better than the one I was looking for :D Really amazing instructions.

Amazing video coach. I'm an amateur boxer but I want to try BJJ because of you.

This is great!! Thank you sir

Love It!!

Thanks for sharing this. My buddy at the gym has been using this and killing me with it, he showed me this video and now Im gonna drill this. Thanks coach Zahabi.

Thanks coach Zahabi

Really well explained thanks

Keep the streams coming coach. I watch them non stop. Definitely better than Netflix and Chill.

My first Jiu-Jitsu instructional is now available on www.jujiclub.com be sure to use coupon code JIUJITSU-JUNE and get 5$ off. I cover the reverse De Le Riva "Lock down" position, how to avoid getting smashed passed, create elevation and flow into leg locks. Hope you all enjoy!

Ooooh yes awesome.Thanks Firas :)

Excellent présentation, great techniques.

Thanks Coach Firas

Thanks Coach

best class ever

Seems like a gauntlet of traps, very nice counter series.

Awesome video, I've been in bjj for about 5 months and I ALWAYS end up in half guard. Whenever we go to octopus (I had no idea it had a name) I always just ended up waiting for them to either pass or give up and try something else. Definitely going to drill these.

Amazing

Thanks I can't wait to get my knee back after ACL surgery to work on my half guard and try this move

m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6NrqaRqnLenntY.html This variation stops them from basing with the leg as you hip bump. Cheers.

Beautiful jiujitsu!

Outstanding! I now have 2 new tools. 👍

Nice stuff. I always try to put in a butterfly hook and elevate them from there but have had limited success with that nogi due to the slipperiness. This seems like a better option

I love going negative. I do everything I can to get in someone's handguard so that I can go negative. This video showed me some moves to improve it but if anyone else that I roll with watches will learn some counters...

Cool stuff! I like to bait the cross face to attack that arm with a Kimura.

I use exactly the same technique with a half butterfly hook but I like how you link every technique

Hey Coach great video as always, learned alot here. Wish I could have caught the seminar! - Quick question: Can the guy on top, rather than crossface, attempt a forward roll while kicking his leg out. I have by acccident ended up in these sort of situations and often been able to use the momentum to secure head control with one arm and then often the back. If this makes zero sense i'm prepared to be very wrong and schooled! Cheers!

Thank you Professor: What a great video, this definitely is on my drill list ASAP.

Very instructive! It seems to me that the top player has better counter options than the cross-face, such as 100% or even Catch & Trap the post arm. Do you have any insight to share on these possibilities?

YES

Whens the video series coming out!!! THANKS!!!

Wow that gyms super getto man doing flying armbars and flying ippon seo nage throw on brick floors lol that's cool lookin mats man

Salaam akhi Great video! Thank you Maybe some more stand up videos please?? 😊

Also check out Brandon Quick octopus guard video

Hi what is the brand of footware worn by your student? Great video thanks

Amazing video coach Zahabi. I saw Demian Maia uses the negative half guard to pass a lot but I never saw his opponents try this on him. If they (the bottom player) managed to get to the bottom negative position supported by one arm, what can the guard passer do to avoid being swept? Is there a way to rest the position back to neutral or have they run out of good options at that point?

lol bro if anyone tried this on Damien Maia they would get their back taken 10 out of 10 times.

Great sweep thanks a lot Firas. I tried the first sweep with a partner, as a beginner you need to be careful during the sweep because if not applied properly your partner can choke you with his both hands, and at this moment, you are really in trouble!

I downloaded this video this goes in to "my best video" library

Wow your a wizard in bjj

I'm so mad I didn't subscribe to this channel sooner I wasted my whole life hahaha

I just voted, Team:Zahabi!

Awesome video! So ive encountered when im at the bottom and trying to shrimp, my shrimping leg the one that is driving me back gets blocked by their forearm or leg in order to not let me shrimp back, any counter to that?

We literally just learned this today in class how ironic OSS

Sometimes you get counter octopussed after the sweep and it's a never ending meme loop

You can block a "crossface" but you can't stop him from getting a seatbelt. Marcelo Garcia shuts this down with seatbelt grip 100%. I've seen it many times on MGInAction

hipBump - 1:50 backTake - 3:40 backRoll - 6:45

Hi Coach, if the opponent on top has a kimura grip on your far arm, how would you go about freeing it to apply this triple threat?

It's a Trilemma. Nice

How do you feel about going butterfly hook with your left foot to help with the sweep?

👍👍

Coach Zahabi --- would you ever force or initiate the octopus half guard, or do you only do it as a reaction to your opponent going negative?

Coach if the guy puts in a hundred percent kind of grip instead of trying to crossface are you still able to hip bump or do you have a different response? I've played this a bit and love it but need to keep putting more time into it. Also your lockdown reverse DLR instructional is fantastic, really hope you release more material, like this video it's a pretty simple but very effective gameplan and immediately helped my game.

Also for anyone that hasn't gotten it yet the lockdown reverse DLR instructional is available at www.jujiclub.com/

Two questions: 1) what would you do if he creates base while being hip bump sweeped in the way the he keeps knee close to your body but just rotate the calf in opposite durection of the sweep and supports his toes in the mat, this way creates base, genwrates energy by his toes to negate your energy and his knee close the space. 2) If you shrimp in order to provoke stronger push, what if he just long steps into side (in case of the video to the side control on left side) Thank you

👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

damn professor

👍

Firas could you use this guard effectively if you have a lockdown on their leg?

Masha Allah brother.Great video.
