I do this all the time from half. A little modified. Really high success rate. The guard version is sick. Thanks. I’ll try this next class.

Absolutely my favorite format for learning a new teqnique. Well done!

Thank you for posting this video which is straight to the point, simple, well communicated and efficientpy ecplains the technique in only 4-5 minutes unlike the other videos which are in excess of 20-30 minutes long

Thank you! I try to keep it concise and to the point.

Nicely done. Eduardo Telles is known as the Octopus Guard inventor. He has DVD instructionals on the Octopus and Turtle Guards. I trained with Eduardo Telles in San Diego. Ironically his school is near Andre Galvao's school.

Love me some BJJ in cargo shorts. Looks like an effective technique, can't wait to take it for a spin.

I have been a subscriber of your channel for a year now. First time posting to you. I think you are one of the most underrated practioners of the art. May you get millions of subscribers...

I'm trying this tonight as I play a similar one from bottom side control where I wrap around, 🙏

OSS Sensei. Top congratulations

At 1:14 the OG man has his elbow on the mat. Ditto at 2:43. However, at 3:20 his elbow is "floating." Which do you prefer, elbow on mat or elbow off mat? (Love the channel, man. Keep it up!)

Phred Bookley - I think it depends on whatever is available and makes the position the strongest at the time. Body types and energies can change things. Thank you for the comment and watching!

Beautiful🤙🤙

@1:30 this moment is what works my mind about this technique. I supposed this particular phase requires strict timing and that's what the previous elbow smash was to set up. It's like a "rock, paper, scissors" technique.

Wow!

Dang. Guys are pros

this is my favorite guard, im trying to find a way to the barataplata when they put their arm back across your face.

The plural of octopus is Octopi

Not necessarily since "octopus" is of Greek origin (not Latin) so the rule of -us turning into -i for plurals is not absolute. Still, good point.

technically, it's "octopodes", but in contemporary English, "octopuses" and "octopi" are acceptable

I think it’s good because it can provide a route to the back. The best attribute a smaller person can have in bottom guard vs a larger person is to be squirmy, so for that reason, this can be a good position

This is very true in my case i am very small compared to men at my gym and have alot of success with this. Especially since i get smashed in bottom half for years. Really opena doors.

I just don’t see what’s stopping the top guy from getting on his toes and trying to knee slide or step over your open guard. Even if you get your “grip” to control the upper body, you’re not controlling their lower body. Nobody would just chill there when their opponent has their guard wide open. I could even see shifty guys hopping over the leg quickly because the the top guys arms are already in the cross body “side control” position.

He’s just pausing there to explain and instruct. The action happens faster and smoother than that. Check out some competition footage of Eduardo Telles using this gi and no gi. It’s awesome to see it hit live.

Knight Jiu-Jitsu do you have a link? I’m genuinely interested in this. It just doesn’t seem like top players will be interested in that “cross face” you suggested unless they are weak grapplers. It seems like they’d be more likely to fight for a pass since your guard is open.

It depends on the energy and circumstance. I would never suggest ignoring a Kimura opportunity and doing this instead. But sometimes this is available when the Kimura isn’t.
