Iron Octopus School of Physical Culture

Accompanying instructional videos are in the editing stage. They will be available in the highlights of the school's Instagram page hopefully within a month.

Game changer for your snap down.

This game is great for kids. So naturally we do it with the men aswell 😂

Just the world according to the Principal.

I think you'll find most coaches prescribing med ball squeeze/crush for their athletes have never done multiple 2 hour long wrestling sessions in a week.

Got a few questions about this movement so here's me ranting a little bit. Stuff I forgot to say:

- did/does wonders for my hamstring graft site

- the feet and legs barely ever get to train in the open chain. For good reason, they're supposed to connect to the ground. But never doing it leaves gains on the table. You do dips and push ups aswell as various weighted press movements for your upper body don't you? Why wouldn't the lower body benefit from the same variety?

- Leg strength and dexterity in the open chain is pretty much exactly what open guard is. I'll tomoe nagi you into next week 😂

You're welcome to come to the school and try it for free if you're too scared to set it up at Revo.

Iron Squids grading yesterday!

4 new grey white belts and plenty with a few extra stripes.

Discipline, commitment and skill all on display for their parents.

Stiff arm/ Y-escape in less than 2 minutes. Stay tuned for follow ups. Join the school for more instruction that doesn't take 15 minutes of philosophical rambling.

Sneaky reverse pendulum sweep. You might find yourself here after they've escaped your back control also. Very handy.

Teaching the Von Flue on the fly to the young fella.

It's one of those ones that has to be known, has to be respected and getting caught in it is embarrassing.

I love simple jiu jitsu as much as I love the sophisticated jiu jitsu.

2 thumbs in the suprasternal notch is guaranteed to get a big reaction out of even the most seasoned of grapplers.

If you don't practice the ruthless tactics, they probably won't be there when you need them.
