I enjoy Adam's perspective about Octopus Guard both in the instructional and in the Podcast. His attention to detail and reactions of the opponent are making these techniques more accessible on the mats.
Good stuff!
Very good basics to Master.
Wardzinski is a world champion and a great teacher. I play a similar game based on half and butterfly guard and get into octopus situations a lot. This has really helped my game, recommended especially for half guard players, but octopus is also relevant as one of the last lines of defense.
I wanted to master this guard after remembering bj penn using it in ufc. love the different pov that Adam gives. game changer!
great material from a high level BJJ competitor
Octopus guard is one of unorthodox possitions in bjj, now iam having the luxury to have one a detailed instructional by one of the best practitioners, looking forward to displaying the techniques on the mats.
Awesome instructional on the octopus guard in the Gi.
Of course, I knew about Adam Wardzinski, but I hadn’t seen his DVDs because I hardly ever use the butterfly guard. This DVD is very useful even if you never use the butterfly guard.
Adam provides a great breakdown of the position!
Complete instructional on the octopus, another great one from Adam W, can't go wrong here.

Bought this to help broaden my half guard game. Excellent instruction and content like all other videos from Adam
Excellent instructional on a guard I like that is difficult to find material on.
I never really use to use octopus guard until diving into all this content. Since studying this i use this all the time from half guard. Great content easy to follow and digest. 10/10 recommend!
Techniques are pretty presented , very useful to improve game!
the most fun with tentacles I've ever had

Good stuff
Adam always has great instructionals. This is a nice addition to bottom half
It was a systematically well organized material to understand the mechanics of its unique and unconventional approach! This video suggests another avenue of possibility to my butterfly game!
Putting a hurt on that reverse sit out from half guard
very good stuff!
Simply great!
Very interesting materiale here
in many position. can use this technique.
Adam goes over the Octopus from most positions with responses to opponent's reactions.
An excellent approach to this interesting position. Would recommend
Adam does a great job relating information about this move. He explains the move and the common reactions to it son you’re prepared to use it. This is a must have video for practitioners of all levels.
Cool and informative
Lots of details covered for a Guard I never even knew existed. I have easily implemented octopus Guard when sparring, with some interesting results. Great instructional by Adam which has given me more options when playing guard.
Unorthodox way to get advantage positions
My Coach introduced me to Octopus guard and recommended Adam's video. It's an excellent tutorial on the guard and other related concepts. Highly recommend.
Top instructional Must have
Can't wai to work this into my game.
very well structured lessons. love his recent instructional videos
Whoever saw one of Adam's intrusctionals knows how good a teacher he is. In this course, he is even better than in the older ones. The positions are effective and very useful and the insights he provoques are game changing.
I've been waiting for this to come out. It's a great octopus instructional and a lot more in depth than some of the others out there.
Excellent quality and explanation.
Adam Wardziński as usuall top level knowledge
