• Love it

  Between this and Wardzinski’s Octo Guard series, I feel like I can be a good partner on the mats. No longer will I be selfish, taking back closed guard. From now on I will be a selfless lover, and have the compassion to give my partners a reach around.

• Right balance of detail for me.

  Craig is very good at teaching the principles behind the position. There is no unneccesary repetition. This fits well as an addition to my main botrom game (half gaurd).

• The Most Unconventional Guard You'll Actually Use

  Craig Jones transforms the often-overlooked octopus guard into a legitimate attacking system with his trademark blend of dark humor and ruthlessly practical techniques—if you're tired of getting your guard passed and want a high-percentage sweep/back-take option that works even against bigger opponents, this is worth every minute.

  Michael M.November 4, 2025United StatesVerified buyerPurple belt7-9 yrs training

  Great lil tutorial

• Easy and simple

  While JD and GR excel in depth and detail, CJ distills complex concepts into concise, impactful insights—conveying in minutes what others take hours to unpack. His streamlined approach makes learning faster, clearer, and equally valuable in its precision.

  Tyreke J.October 4, 2025United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Mind bending

  It's a joy and an adventure to watch craig teach. Way more animated than other jiu jitsu Champs

  Paul R.October 4, 2025United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Great Content and simple concept.

  If you have a strong half guard it's a nice and especially fun ad on. But like Craig said in the DVD, it’s not a position you can force easily. So if you like Craigs style and want a solid half guard game start with „make Z-Guard great again“ and then go for the octopus guard.
