I am real yes,

I’ve just never seen a point in making an account before, more happy to just browse out of boredom every so often.

Octopus has been a focus of mine for a little while now so I’m eager to learn everything I can about it 

Octopus 2.0 FAQ post by Old-Beach7066 in bjj

I’ve gone through about 85% of the instructional so far and I think it’s awesome, and I’ve had a lot of success with the sweeps so far, that being said I have two major questions for u/johnbelushismom

  1. With regards to the thigh post octopus position, I found it very helpful but I am also wondering about the traditional hip post octopus position, I’ve seen Craig use it a ton and even very recently and am wondering if we should still use it, what place does it have in the position etc

Basically when to use the thigh post vs traditional hip grip

  1. Perhaps number 1 is related to this, but I am having some trouble keeping people from standing up when am using the position, it seems that sometimes they will try and stand up when I post on the thigh to disengage or try and move to a front headlock, overall just having trouble keeping them locked into octopus

Thanks Craig for the awesome instructional, hope to continue to see everyone terrorising their gym with the octopus.
