The Octopus Guard in MMA - Sweep, Stand Up Or Attack The Back

A breakdown of The Octopus Guard & Half Octopus Guard, focusing on its use in MMA Grappling & Jiu-Jitsu. Eduardo Telles laid the groundwork for this interesting guard, that has been used by Khabib, Michael Bisping & BJ Penn and has worked against the legendary GSP on multiple occasions.
Although submission options do exist from the octopus guard, the main options that it has been used for are taking the back, sweeping and standing back up.
With wrestling up becoming more common in jiu-jitsu, the octopus guard may also see its application useful there as it can provide an entry into what Craig Jones has been calling "false half guard".

Eduardo telles might be the most underrated grappler ever. Turtle, surf passing and octopus...what an innovator

Incredible editing brother! Still waiting for the one on the cow catcher.

[@RichardYu1983]

Sonny Brown I hope you have enough footage for it. I sent you the links for the guys getting submitted by it.

[@SonnyBrown]

@@RichardYu1983 Yep I have most of them saved, just remembered will have to combine it with the crucifix neck crank / reverse full nelson.

[@ffnovice7]

Fantastic feature. I can't tell if this is a wrestling or jujitsu move, or whether it's a sweep or escape. This is a bit of everything! Hasn't this been uploaded earlier, however?

[@SonnyBrown]

Thank you! This was a new upload for me.

[@rudai123]
