 The Pillars of Defense: Leg Locks to Guard Passing
An elite-level system that converts leg-check and counter escapes into seamless guard-passing chains—offering both defense and offense from leg entanglement positions.

 Course Overview

Gordon Ryan elevates defense into a launchpad for control by teaching a systematic flow from escaping leg-locks to gaining top-position guard passes. This program emphasizes structural alignment, grip tactics, and timing, with live-rolling footage highlighting real-world application under resistance.

 What You’ll Learn

• Escape Foundations & Structural Control
  Prevent leg-lock deep engagement via hip alignment, knee shields, and balance; counter tactics against heel hooks.
• Position-Specific Transitions
  Extract and step from Ashi Garami variants into knee-shield passes or back takes; 50/50 exits into passing.
• Guard-Passing Integration
  Knee-cut and smash passes to exit leg systems; shoulder pressure, underhooks, and leg pummeling flow sequences.
• Live Rolling & Problem Solving
  Footage examples and drills to troubleshoot blocked passes or counters in real time.

 Who Should Train With It

Grapplers facing frequent leg-lock attempts, wanting to turn defense into forward momentum; pass-oriented athletes seeking pressure-based transitions rooted in structure and timing.

✅ Key Benefits

• Transition-Oriented Defense – Survive entanglements and force guard-opens for passing.
• High-Level Flow – A system from bottom defense through top-side passing, not isolated drills.
• Real-World Tested – Live-resistance footage shows application under pressure.
