What Will You Learn?

Systematically Attacking From Half Guard
A complete, position-based system that turns half guard into an offensive powerhouse—combining structured pressure, sweep mechanisms, and submission chains.

 Course Overview

Gordon Ryan teaches an eight-volume curriculum that dismantles the misconception of half guard as a passive position. This instructional repositions it as a dominant platform for attack and control, teaching pressure-based entries, strategic grips, and chaining sweeps into submissions—all while maintaining positional hierarchy and momentum.

 What You’ll Learn

• Positional Structure & Control Principles: Underhook, shin frame, knee shield leverage; maintaining offensive angle under passing attempts; inside pressure alignment.
• Sweep & Movement Systems: Hip-scoop and back-step entries; knee-slice vs step-over decisions; multi-directional sweep chaining for continuous momentum.
• Submission Setups & Flow: Transitions into kimura, darce, kneebar from sweep entries; underhook plus arm-attack “checker” systems; deep half and leg entanglement entries.
• Troubleshooting & Counter Pressure: Recover/reset when flattened or stacked; structural adaptations vs cross-passes; partner drills for reestablishing leverage.
• Live Rolling Integration: Sparring footage with real-time sweep and attack applications; grip-fight scenario analysis; drills for half-guard resilience under resistance.

 Who This Course Is For

• Grapplers wanting to turn half guard into a dynamic, attack-oriented position.
• Those seeking a systematized flow linking sweeps into submissions.
• Practitioners training under rolling pressure needing escapes, resets, and offensive chaining.
• Gi and no-gi competitors needing universally applicable structure.

✅ Key Benefits

• High-Powered Structure: Half guard transformed from reactionary to offensive fortress.
• Flow-Ready Approach: Continuous attack sequencing, not stalling under pressure.
• Deep Positional Mechanics: Alignment, leverage, and control for underhook dominance.
• Mat-Tested Principles: Mindset, drills, and live-resistance mastery for real-world effectiveness.
