What Will You Learn? 

The octopus guard is a position that plays off of half guard and an unorthodox approach to highly effective sweeps and back takes. Adam has won countless matches against world class competitors using it. While it may not be as popular as other guards, it is much more simple and effective and often overlooked. 

You will learn a high level system of attacks that play off of common reactions, this position tends to make BJJ more predictable, primarily because people don't encounter it often so their defense is basic.

You can take the back, sweep, submit, and switch into other guards that you may prefer. Increasing in popularity rapidly, NOW IS THE TIME TO OCTOPUS GUARD THE WORLD.

Who Is This Instructional For?

This universal guard is good for anyone with a basic understanding of guard. Adam has a very high level fundamental approach to all of his BJJ. Known for his butterfly, he combines this octopus guard with other positions. Anyone who has been training for over a few months will see extreme benefits. 

Regardless of if you're a black belt or two stripe white belt, this is a unique position that is not taught daily and Adam is the best in the world at it.
