Hip Bump from Octopus Guard by Neil Melanson
In his latest release from BJJ Fanatics, famed grappling and MMA Coach Neil Melanson opens up the playbook for his Ground Marshal Half Guard techniques. One of the positions he explores is the Octopus Guard. In simplest terms, the Octopus Guard shows itself in half guard when the opponent turns their back to you to try to pass half guard, or when you have been able to swim under their cross face arm and secure your own grip across their back, connected to the farside lat muscle.
Check out this cool Hip Bump Sweep excerpted from his new series. Pay close attention as he moves through the technique and sets up a guard pass to a head and arm choke. Very smooth technique that will have you wowing your opponents and training partners with the ease at which you are able to sweep them over.
