Octopus Guard 2.0: Control Without Chaos, Dominance Without Effort

The Octopus Guard is already infamous for shutting down pressure passers and creating effortless back takes—but Octopus Guard 2.0 takes the system even further.

In this updated course, Craig Jones refines the original framework with cleaner entries, stronger off-balancing, and smoother transitions to the back, legs, and top position. Built specifically for modern No-Gi grappling, this system thrives against aggressive passers who want to stay on their feet and smash forward. Instead of fighting strength with strength, you’ll learn how to attach, tilt, and redirect your opponent until they give you exactly what you want.

What You’ll Learn

• The Modern Framework: A complete, updated system optimized for today’s high-level No-Gi environment.

• Precision Entries: Improved setups from common positions like seated guard, knee shield, and failed wrestling shots.

• The “Stick” Factor: How to off-balance and stay attached to standing opponents without relying on extreme flexibility.

• Technical Back Takes: High-percentage transitions to the back that don’t require speed or jumping.

• Advanced Chains: How to transition seamlessly into leg entanglements or top pressure when the opponent reacts.

• Problem Solving: Specific solutions for opponents who try to disengage, sprawl, or shut down your grips.

Why Octopus Guard 2.0 Works

• Real-World Tested: Designed for genuine resistance, not compliant drilling.

• The “Anti-Wrestler” Tool: Ideal for athletes who struggle against strong wrestlers and heavy pressure passers.

• Efficiency First: Emphasizes leverage, positioning, and timing over raw athleticism or cardio.

• Elite Pedigree: Proven concepts used by Craig Jones at the highest levels of professional competition.

Who Is This Course For?

• No-Gi Grapplers who struggle to deal with athletic, standing passers.

• Guard Players looking to add a unique, control-based system to their game.

• Competitors who want high-percentage back exposure without the risk of scrambles.
