• Love this

  Really good break down of each position and explained really well. I watched a few videos before training without practicing it before hand and it worked. After completing the whole section over the weeks and practicing it, it’s working every time an I love it. As a female in a light category it’s very affective for me. Thanks

• supplement to craig jones octopus info?

  To be honest I'm still having trouble pulling off this octopus guard stuff, whether from wardzinski or craig jones. I am trying it but getting the moves fully functional is more in my future than my past. :) But it seems really cool though.

• Effective Combo

  I’ve been focusing on half-guard the last 3 months and now combining that with Octopus has added another dimension to my game. The succinctness of Adam’s instruction is great, considering his Butterfly Guard 3.0 instructional.

  Good for gi

  jp m.March 5, 2026United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• A great addition to any half guard game

  Octopus guard is a great alternative to the classic underhook + dogfight bottom half guard that everyone learns. It keeps your opponent guessing so you can stay on the offensive. Wardzinski is thorough and doesn't get caught up in the minutiae.

  Andrew G.February 25, 2026United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training
