  Helps a lot in fleshing out the octopus guard as a system and improving on previous iterations

• This is very helpful but hard for me to get through; I explain below

  I have been using these moves in competition and training and they work very well. The issue is he has this very fine looking lady in the video so Dagestani men cannot watch but for me I am finding myself having to relieve myself 3 to 4 times everytime I watch the videos so it takes a while to get through.

• I get it now...awesome

  Love the octopus, when I first saw it done by Craig and then my coach showed me the basics...and from that point on it became "my get out of jail card" when defending. This new 3.0 makes it even better, by removing old "Wax On Wax Off" for more slick but strong base, which helps when fighting against bigger guys. I'm 175lbs and have been able to hit the octopus against guys 200+...Thank you El Segundo.

• The best of Craig Jones

  Octopus Guard 2.0 is classic Craig Jones—simple, practical, and highly effective. Instead of treating the octopus position as a traditional guard, Craig shows how to use it as a pathway to wrestle up, attack the back, and create scrambles that put you on offense. The instruction is easy to follow, full of concepts that work in live rolling, and especially valuable for no-gi grapplers looking to blend guard work with wrestling. A great addition for anyone wanting a modern, aggressive bottom game.

  I’m a purple belt who misses a lot of class time due to work. This video helped me get better but remember you still have to go to class to use the moves.

• Octopus 2.0

  A very unique way of escaping/counter multiple positions. Even if you're not built like Craig, you can still find plenty of techniques to take away from this instructional. Highly recommend.
