• Adding the hip overs

  I used to struggle to sit up from the head overwrap position . The thigh post likely be much easier for me . I like to see the rolling footage to give evidence to why he’s changed things . It really gives it credibility

• Perfect for what I needed

  Typical Craig Jones instructional, under a layer of humour is some game changing details and concepts. I can get into Octopus pretty easily but not able to do much in that position besides stall, this has been exactly what I need to explore further.

• Meaningful evolution of the Octopus framework

  Like the title of my review says, there is a meaningful evolution of the position from last time, which improves the effectiveness of the original Octopus, while making it easier to deploy at the same time. Great instruction as usual, not only in the explaination, but also the rationale behind the movements. This is how BJJ should be, a living, evolving game. A+

• Entertaining and well explained intructional

  Funny at times but very good instructional. I was able to grasp the concepts and hit some of the techniques during live roll shortly after.

• Octopussy

  Everything is cool, except the girl is too sexy and it's hard to concentrate on the technique

  Mikhail B.January 4, 2026TajikistanVerified buyerBlack belt10-12 yrs training

• $200 reward coupon well spent.

  Dope instructional, It's really nice to have training material taught in my native language; 'knuckle dragger'. Get that bag Craig, Legend mate.

  James R.January 3, 2026United KingdomVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Yes

  I like

• The best late stage guard retention is offense

  I've heard turtle described as the best late stage guard retention. Octopus 2.0 is a way to make late stage guard retention offensive and methodically turn a defensive move into a sweep, counter, or attack. Great detail. Great explanations.

  Nate H.January 2, 2026United StatesVerified buyerPurple belt7-9 yrs training

• Not much content. Good quality

  A lot of Craig instructionals the value comes from his conceptual breakdown of positions rather than specific moves and that is the same with octopus 2. This one is especially light on content because most the turtle content is reused from Power Bottom. If you have seen that already and you don't tend to deal often with Darces, about 30% of the content is repetitive or low likelihood of getting used much. I still would recommend it for the whole first 2 volumes. Craig's explanation and demos of the concepts, and the section on common reactions (vol2) are excellent. I'd just make sure you have a hefty discount code

  This is top tier material. Evolving the material

  This goes hand in hand with the first instructional.

• Octopus Guard - Reconceptualizing Submission Grappling

  Craig introduces concepts he has been using consistently since quintent and across all his YouTube content. I think these are concepts and techniques that will help continue to transform BJJ as a sport and the concepts of submission grappling in MMA as an art.

• Octopus Guard 2.0

  There are some cool sweeps and fun submissions, and he does an excellent job of teaching concepts rather than just isolated moves. He’s changed a few things about the general structure of the Octopus Guard compared to the first instructional, and it’s cool to see Craig actively exploring and creating. Some of the material can be implemented right away, while some of the fancier submissions may take a bit more time depending on your level of experience. All the stuff you’ve seen Craig working on recently with Volk and JDM is in here. Super sick one.
