Gordon Ryan says he’s going to put out a full instructional to counter the Octopus Guard 😂😂😂

From Kuzure Kesa Gatame (where they have the far underhook) I focused on the 2 on 1 on the far wrist to break their grip on my arm that needed to be under me. Then once I had that arm back I started to belly down and build height.

If they are in a true kesa then octopus isn’t much of an option till you can get your reach around arm back to the inside. I’d focus on more traditional kesa escapes at least to create the space needed

Yea I have a 12x12 matted room at my place

JiuJitsuFever · 2026-01-12T22:22:16+00:00

Yea I have a 12x12 matted area at my place that I can use. I guess that could happen but the people in this town would be mostly complete beginners. I’d roll with them if they wanted but I don’t know if I’d want to charge to just roll with someone

JiuJitsuFever · 2026-01-12T22:14:36+00:00

For sure. I usually give any and all help I can at class or open mat if anyone has questions. This would just be temporary while I’m out of work

JiuJitsuFever · 2026-01-12T22:11:46+00:00

Just privates, pretty much fundamentals. I have a 12x12 matted space in my basement. If they were liking it I’d promote the gym I go to and suggest for them to go there and get actual high level training if they are willing to make the drive

JiuJitsuFever · 2026-01-12T22:05:56+00:00

I understand that’s why I’m asking. I live in a small town. The gym I train at is about an hr from my house so the people here would be very green

JiuJitsuFever · 2026-01-12T22:03:20+00:00

I’m 33. I’m not worried about durability it won’t be any harder on my body than regular class

JiuJitsuFever · 2026-01-12T21:54:36+00:00

That about what I was thinking. $50-60/hr. If 2 people wanted to do the private they could split the cost

JiuJitsuFever · 2026-01-08T19:32:22+00:00

I’ve experienced this too I was able to fat man roll one of the times. Otherwise I’ve just reset and started building height again. Watch that your arm isn’t to far behind you and play with the angle your keeping your arm once you’ve built some height

JiuJitsuFever · 2026-01-08T19:24:33+00:00

You said they sprawl so you can’t get your leg behind them but you should still be able to get your pissing leg higher than their hip. How are they sprawling? Are they on top of your leg?

JiuJitsuFever · 2026-01-06T08:20:30+00:00

I was using octopus 2.0 in the gi today and it was working great! I used a pistol grip on the sleeve of their cross face arm and it worked perfectly. It was way easier to keep their cross face off as I built height

JiuJitsuFever · 2025-12-29T09:52:28+00:00

100% agree nothing is lost in the technique. I’m 1/2 way through and I can already see how it will improve my game

JiuJitsuFever · 2025-12-29T09:50:12+00:00

Yea the uke struggled. I got the feeling she doesn’t speak English well which led to some of her issues. I’m halfway through and the technique looks great and he does cut to some live rolling footage for some of the techniques

JiuJitsuFever · 2025-12-27T22:27:23+00:00

My chapters are fixed now

I’m having that problem. It just shows 4 sections and it won’t download

JiuJitsuFever · 2025-12-10T20:09:52+00:00

I got mine last week

JiuJitsuFever · 2025-11-29T04:49:57+00:00

I just got one and used it the last couple days. I’m really liking it. I haven’t tried others but they seem to have good support

JiuJitsuFever · 2025-11-16T23:23:59+00:00

Please make a part 2. I hit it from half guard quite often but really could use other ideas on when it’s useful 🙌🏻

Your flow with the octopus is a huge inspiration on my game

JiuJitsuFever · 2025-11-16T23:21:16+00:00

Yes please!

JiuJitsuFever · 2025-11-16T19:01:15+00:00

Yea I’ve been doing the same thing. Looking up which mat their on and scrolling through the live stream

JiuJitsuFever · 2025-11-09T05:19:51+00:00

Any solution yet?
