One of the best instructions on octopus guard that I’ve seen so far!

Absolutely awesome Arron! Great teaching.. You answered so many questions for me. Just loved it! I will watch anytime you teach 👍👍up👊🏻

Last tip of was awesome. I play a lot with that position but sometimes struggle to post elbow or hand. Great video. Thank you.

Thank you. I have always struggled with octopus guard.

Great job Aaron. :)

Beautiful addition to the half guard game ❤

Well taught! I hope this is a start of a teaching career at these camps for you. Really well laid out, clearly explained, loud and clear voice, etc. and of course what a cool system! Can't wait to try it.

That's some jedi shit right there goddamn

It's not how I usually play half octopus but I'll will give these options a try. Definitely picked up a lot of great ideas and concepts. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you 🙏 can’t wait to practice this

Sick

This is phenomenal! Thanks for posting.

awesome!🤯

good stuff

I have had so many issues when I get flattened out when they go negative. Ant wait to try the baby’s bridge

Thanks a lot. Much better then Craig Jones videos for 200$

I always get distracted by people taking naps while somebody is teaching. Great video though!

Been playing this position a lot and it’s been causing me a lot pain in my should from posting on my elbow/ hand. Any advice?
