• Avellan shows great stuff

  I love David's teaching style b/c I can see the move before he fills in with all the details. That's a great feature.

• New positions from an octopus guard framework

  If you already play octopus guard, you will find new ideas and progressions on this instructional. If you don't, it can be a good place to start.

• Avellan is a great instructor

  I love Dave's approach because he isn't overly-wordy. He explains most moves in under 3-4 steps and it all still works.

• AKA Octopus Guard

  Professor D. A. provides a systematic approach on the reverse seat belt out of half guard or both legs outside avoiding side mount bottom. It is about reversals and sweeps and back takes. He also offers particular high percentage submissions: Kimura and Leg Locks. Also a face crank is offered. I personally use this system as an add on to round up my half guard game. Highly recommend!

• Different pathway in half guard

  Gives you way to deal with reverse half guard passing and path for the times when your opponent gives you too much pressure on the outside arm side but leaves or you manage to create an opening on the inside arm side.

• Awesome!

  Always looking for ways to combat reverse half guard passing and this works really well with my game!

  Robbie R.August 8, 2023USVerified buyer

• Learn something

  I feel like if you can get one thing out of a seminar it was worth the money but owning the instructional is like going to a high level seminar everyday and you can learn it all with time. This is a underrated position and this video does a great job of explaining the concepts very well.
