    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.

    This video showed me some moves to improve it but if anyone else that I roll with watches will learn some counters...

  • @wlbernie
    @wlbernie Před 6 lety +1

    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

  • @mikesloan3924
    @mikesloan3924 Před 6 lety

    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!

  • @truantj

    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?

    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

    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?

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

  • @JCBPARISPARIS
    @JCBPARISPARIS Před 6 lety

    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!

  • @matyastaborsky2741
    @matyastaborsky2741 Před 6 lety

    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

  • @marscheung7139
    @marscheung7139 Před 6 lety

    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?

  • @pcprinciple3774
    @pcprinciple3774 Před 3 lety

    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?

    • @armenbakanyan
