    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.

  • @shrimuyopa8117
    @shrimuyopa8117 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love going negative. I do everything I can to get in someone's handguard so that I can go negative.
    This video showed me some moves to improve it but if anyone else that I roll with watches will learn some counters...

  • @mikesloan3924
    @mikesloan3924 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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?

    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!

    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?

  • @marscheung7139
    @marscheung7139 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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?

  • @matyastaborsky2741
    @matyastaborsky2741 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @pcprinciple3774
    @pcprinciple3774 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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
      @armenbakanyan 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      lol bro if anyone tried this on Damien Maia they would get their back taken 10 out of 10 times.

  • @BradGE909
    @BradGE909 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Coach if the guy puts in a hundred percent kind of grip instead of trying to crossface are you still able to hip bump or do you have a different response? I've played this a bit and love it but need to keep putting more time into it. Also your lockdown reverse DLR instructional is fantastic, really hope you release more material, like this video it's a pretty simple but very effective gameplan and immediately helped my game.
