The reviews

• Interesting attacks

  Overall interesting breakdown of this new fangled guard. I have seen some personal success in the gym with some of these moves. My only feedback is the sound is quality isn't the best. Fun, and nice break downs though of the position that help even an old head like me pick up some new tricks.

• Surprisingly Helpful!

  This video on the octopus half guard was surprisingly helpful. It featured a lot of sweeps and transitions from the lockdown position that I hadn’t seen before. Everything was clearly explained and demonstrated, with no wasted time. The instruction was straight to the point and very easy to follow. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to add new tools to their half guard game.
