• More Options

  I really enjoyed learning this approach as I like to play buttefly, lazy butterfly, knee shield, and coyote guard. I personally like the scrambles you can create beating the crossface and opening up the sweep or backtake oss.

• High risk. High reward

  Great option for attacks to the same side half guard. Just don’t get your back taken. Interesting take from Craig as always. This will help keep you from becoming as predictable by your opponent.

  Ian B.April 12, 2025United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Criag Jones is a master of the octopus guard

  The instructional is short, but it gives you everything you need to become an excellent user of this guard. You will sweep many training partners and opponents in competitions, believe me.

• A Way to Drive People Nuts

  This is a great mini-product. The Octopus Guard is something that's good to know for MMA, too. Craig is such a great teacher. Like many moves, this is not as easy as it looks. Be careful to not get "lat-trapped". I wish there were a few more details on the entry, but a lot of it comes down to getting a feel for it. Once you hit it, it's so much fun. This and the Reverse Z-Guard are amazing for scrambles, and it really surprises people who are not familiar with the move. Highly recommend!
