A super effective and modern system that turns a “weird” position into a legit weapon. Craig Jones keeps things simple and focuses on concepts that actually work in live rolls—especially for sweeps and back takes. Best suited for intermediate/advanced no-gi players. Beginners might find it awkward at first.
Great techniques
Interesting
2nd best to ever do it! CJ!
Great video. Craig always gives great details.
Great video. Craig always gives great details.
Craig is one of my favorite instructors! He never disappoints! Thank you!
Takes a second to really start applying the technique, trial and error if you will. But when you fault make a note of the moment then refer back to the videos to make those corrections. I've watched so many people applying the technique incorrectly it's baffling then claim it doesn't work. So be patient take your time and study it. I've not gotten to drill it whatsoever I just have to apply it during my rolls and make the corrections in between people or right after I flub the technique. But definitely has advanced my game big time. Not a waste of time or money it'll open your eyes to a new unorthodox way!
great details
This is a great instructional if you are always getting smashed on the bottom.
I felt an immediate jump in my game after implementing some of these concepts and my scrambles have been more deliberate
Through King Craig, I have successfully conquered the 7 seas of BJJ...
It’s been a few weeks since I watched about 3/4ths of it. There are a few good things I took away from it that stick with me and have helped my current game.
Loved this instructional, very helpful in dangerous positions and great counters
Thank you

I see some similarities with judo concepts here. Dr. Jones back at it again with his phd in *** wizardry lol
Can’t wait to hit a biggie on my boiz
Good instructional overall. Gives the concepts and some details to think about.
Octopus game will make you never again fear your guard getting passed. This is focused for no-GI, some things have to be done differently with the GI.
I am watching this video, lost in my world and just thinking if Ghi smells like peach, roses or strawberry …absolutely haram. Technic wise I haven‘t learned anything …honestly …I really cannot focus on Craig.
A great instructional to add a new unconventional part to your game. Very good defensive position against half guard passing and creating scrambles. Much recommended!
