What Will You Learn?

???? Interplay Between High-Step and Body-Lock Passing
A smart, dynamic passing program that teaches you to blend high-step open-guard passes with body-lock control—maximizing pressure and efficiency on the pass.

???? Course Overview

In this targeted instructional, Nicky Ryan (brother of Gordon Ryan) breaks down two of the most effective guard-passing systems—high-step passes (a.k.a. “knee-slide”/“smash”) and body-lock passing—and shows how to transition seamlessly between them during live rolling scenarios. The goal: ensure you’re always in control, no matter how the guard responds.

???? What You’ll Learn

  • Grips & Positioning Dynamics
    Strategies that support both high-step entry and body-lock transition; frame management to counter retention and maintain balance.
  • High-Step Passing Mechanics
    Knee-slide timing, hip pressure, leg-frame control; dealing with lasso, shin-shields, De La Riva variations.
  • Body-Lock Passing Systems
    Breaking posture and peeling grips with tight upper-body control; classic “hip-over” smash, spiral drives, drop-step pressure.
  • Flow Interplay & Transitional Strategies
    Recognizing guard defenses, shifting paths mid-pass; flow drills alternating high-step and body-lock.
  • Live Sparring Integration
    Coached drills for situational awareness and flow; rolling footage highlights of high-step ↔ body-lock success.

???? Who This Course Is For

Grapplers wanting reliable, pressure-based guard passes; competitors and hobbyists in gi or no-gi who need adaptable, structured transitions—never get stuck in a failed path.

✅ Key Benefits

  • Layered Passing System – Decision-making flow between high-step and body-lock, not just isolated techniques.
  • Control Through Pressure – A pressure-based framework that keeps you dominant at all times.
  • Seamless Transitions – Fluid movement built to confuse and break guard resistance.
  • Mat-Ready Execution – Drilling sequences and rolling footage for real-world application.
