Extremely clear and concise. No fluff, nothing but gold here. Thanks so much! I sometimes have trouble with people hip dropping once I get into the octopus position. It looks like here you have a great bite with you right leg behind their Hamstring which seems like it would prevent that! Thanks again!

[@kennethfranco3330]

Either its really cold in there or they got hot breath😂😂😂 good instructional

[@KDGrappling]

​@gedbookings2328 it was winter lmao

[@JamesWTheGrappler]

Brilliant video! Love a good a/b system - defo going to be practicing this. My initial thoughts are 'this could go well with my Kimura trap from Knee shield' - what do you reckon, they should go well together, right?. Liked and Subscribed

[@KDGrappling]

Thanks James, Appreciate the feedback and support. This would chain really well with the Kimura Trap from Knee shield. Both compliment each other.

[@JamesWTheGrappler]

@@KDGrappling Octopus has been on my radar, but not a priority, for a while. I will 100% be deep diving on it now (on your channel) after seeing how well you teach it - you have an excellent teaching style - fair play. I was going to ask, but just read the description and got my answer, I will defo be calling into you if I get a chance.

[@KDGrappling]

Thanks very much @@JamesWTheGrappler That’s great to hear. Call in anytime for a session ☘️🤼

Bro how cold is your gym!

[@Crimson_Strider]

Kinda harder posting higher on one arm when you're smaller and your opponent/partner is taller.

[@KDGrappling]

If you can’t climb up to use the Octopus Guard then think about going under them using sweeps/leg attacks or go around them by using arm drags etc Certain techniques are going to work better on different body types & styles. Hope this helps

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

Dude how fucking cold is that room?

[@KDGrappling]

It was very cold 😂😂
