 Systematically Attacking From Open Guard: Supine Position

A systematic offensive blueprint focused on attacking from open guard—while on your back—using structure, timing, and high-percentage submissions and sweeps.

 Course Overview

Gordon Ryan teaches a supine open-guard system that turns what’s often seen as a reactive position into a powerful offensive platform. From the ground, you’ll learn how to maintain control, off-balance opponents, and chain attacks—all while keeping structure and flow in live resistance.

 What You’ll Learn

• Foundational Structure & Control
  Establishing optimal frames: shin-to-shin, knee-shield, elbow, and C-frames
  Grip strategies (sleeve/pant/no-gi wrist) for maintaining posture control
  Hip and shoulder alignment to prevent opponent flattening and dictate distance
• Sweep Mechanics & Off-Balancing
  Sit-through, pendulum, shin-slice, and hip-switch sweeps designed for supine flow
  Using torque, lean, and hip shift to destabilize posture efficiently
  Timing and partner cues to unbalance while maintaining back posture
• Submission Systems & Chains
  Submissions from supine: triangle, armbar, omoplata, guillotine
  Submission/sweep hybrid entries—e.g. sweep-to-triangle, trap-and-roll armbars
  Flow sequencing that transitions between sweep setups and submission traps
• Flow Drills & Live Adaptation
  Movement routines combining frames, grips, sweep momentum, and transitions
  Partner drills replicating live scenarios—posture regain, control re-entry, attack flow
  Sparring integration for instinctive, on-the-spot sequencing
