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.
This is a guard for grapplers who want control without chaos—and dominance without burning energy.
