great details covered

[@MyHelloworld1]

Your channel is absolute class mate, you can break down things so easily.

[@StillRolling]

Thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated 🤙

[@Itsbryansfault]

I just started learning bjj a couple weeks ago with someone from my unit deployed overseas and our teacher is a brown belt with 15 years of experience. He's an incredible teacher along with a purple belt who helps and they're both very patient. Tonight I'm going to try some of this and see if I can pull it off see if I can throw some a curveball their way. Thank you for the awesome videos, they really are helpful in turning a defense into an offense.

[@tranedTurtle]

what this is dope gonna try it out today!!

[@blackanviljiujitsucompany1993]

great explanation and "intro" to Octopus ..

[@thechaddad1609]

Watching this while eating sushi. Garunteed to pull it off tonight.

[@horizonblack]

Note to self - I know shit about grappling, lol

[@StillRolling]

Haha. We all knew nothing at one point in time🤙

[@dannyy8619]

When you see the crossface response and go for the kimura, is that same kimura available from bottom half guard with octopus? Or would that be lower percentage.

[@StillRolling]

Yes but sometimes you won't have the leverage in that cross body position to get the lap depending on your size vs your opponents. However it sets you up for a nice sweep if nothing else👍

[@FlowithdaGo]

When switching hands, why grab the lats instead of lower down by the hip?

[@StillRolling]

It will make a big difference. The lat is gonna give you the angle you need. The hip can allow them to posture up leaving you hanging off the side. Our main goal when taking the back is chest to back connection 👍

[@Presence_o_Mind]

@@StillRolling great answer! It's so true going for the back. This guard is deceptively very effective. I've caught so many people reaching back like that. I first saw this guard as a white belt and was taking the backs of blue and even purple belts with this technique.

[@FlowithdaGo]

@@StillRolling I see 💪🏼

[@isaacgarcia2979]

This will not work against a decent person.

[@StillRolling]

If a decent person makes the mistake of reaching back it works quite nicely. Back takes from octopus are actually used quite often in professional grappling. Check out Eduardo Telles🤙 There are some other really good options in the series if these don't work for you.
