 Systematically Attacking The Guard: Half Guard Passing

An advanced, position-focused system that transforms half guard from a barrier into a battlefield—teaching you how to systematically pass using control, pressure, and chaining techniques.

 Course Overview

Gordon Ryan breaks down half guard into a high-pressure, offensive platform. This multi-volume series shows how to dominate against knee-shield frameworks, underhooks, and attempts to rebuild guard—providing progressive, trainable sequences for pass entries, cascading positional transitions, and thwarting resistance.

 What You’ll Learn

• Half Guard Structure & Control Mechanics
  Establishing dominant angles through shin-on-body pressure and underhook leverage
  Chain-based grip strategies that break opponent frames and create passing opportunities
  Using chest-to-hip pressure, head positioning, and leg pummeling to prevent guard recovery
• Passing Chains & Flow
  Linked passing system: knee slice → smash → cross-face → underhook entries
  Sequencing techniques that combine pressure, movement, and grip resets
  Streamlined passing flow drills to build efficiency against resistance
• Positional Transitions & Pin Finishes
  Transitions into side control, scarf hold, knee-on-belly, knee-tap, and mount
  Maintaining forward pressure while advancing—no reset or wasted motion
  Entry into dominant pin positions from the half-guard pass
• Scramble Responses & Counter-Clearing
  Clearance systems for frames, hip resets, and half-guard recovery attempts
  Escape counters to common half-guard defenses: revert, shrimp, sit-through
  Live-response flow drills to refine decision-making under pressure
• Live Practice & Flow Integration
  Partner drills emphasizing chain-passing and progressive resistance
  Rolling segments focused on half-guard dominance, pass completion, and control
  Drill methods that develop stamina, timing, and fluid chain transitions
