I love half guard but used to get stuck if my partner switched their hips onto me and started flattening me out. This instructional is so useful and he's so succinct. Watch it several times, it's pretty short. The clamping down the elbow detail is key, cuz everyone's gonna be crossfacing the f@$% out of you at first. When I got the elbow detail the whole thing kind of clicked for me. Now when my partner switches their hips I give them a reacharound and they don't know what's going on. Well done, I strongly recommend.
Octopus guard taught by the best Craig Jones
Very interesting position as always great content from Craig.
Craig is crazy. His unique bjj skill always impressed me
Informative, without too much bulls**t and really easy to understand. Great to add another layer to your half guard game and even use some concepts for side control escapes and similar. Good value for the money.
10/10 fun guard to play
Great moves! Props to Telles and to Craig for bringing it back. Seems like nothing revolutionary until you try it.
Craig Jones coming in with the goods once more :fire:
Awesome instructional. This has helped me tremendously with my scrambles and octopus guard.
Craig is an awesome instructor. I’ve been able to implement these drills/sweeps pretty much immediately after my first watch through🤘�
Another easy to understand instructional by craig jones. octopus guard does force mistakes leading to scrambles.
There’s a reason why he’s number #2 On a serious note battle tested yesterday and it’s an excellent scrambling position and furthermore it can be added to your defensive Arsenal. I was confused with the bolo other than that nothing but awesomeness..
I had the privilege of attending a seminar with Craig instructing at Queen City Grappling where he taught these concepts. This is an expanded version and is jolly good.
Craig gave me a reach around once and it was awkward but effective.
