What Will You Learn?

????️ Systematically Attacking From Closed Guard
A comprehensive, position-driven system that turns closed guard into a powerful launching pad for sweeps, control, and submissions.

???? Course Overview

Gordon Ryan dismantles the misconception that closed guard is passive. This multi-volume program transforms it into an aggressive platform that controls posture, chains high-level submissions, and pressures opponents into vulnerability. You’ll learn methodical strategies and subtle controls that build into a complete closed-guard game designed for modern grappling.

???? What You’ll Learn

  • Foundational Structure & Control
    Effective use of grips: collar, sleeves, overhooks, and head control; breaking posture with hip movement, shoulder frames, and grip dominance; transitional control drills for stable setups.
  • Sweep Systems
    Hip-bump, pendulum, and angle-switch sweep variations refined for maximum effectiveness; dynamic timing drills to exploit reactions and momentum; flow sequences linking sweeps into deeper guards or submissions.
  • Submission Chains & Attacks
    Precision entries into armbar, triangle, and omoplata from closed guard; intelligent combinations—sweeps into submissions, submissions into control resets; reset principles for guard integrity during stalls.
  • Positional Transitions & Flow
    Paths from closed guard into open, butterfly, and X-guard; recovery strategies under pressure or passes; flow-based partner drills for instinctive movement and timing.
  • Live Application Integration
    Rolling footage and drills demonstrating real-world use; position-specific coaching cues to stay proactive under pressure; emphasis on retention, control, and finishing via layered systems.

???? Who This Course Is For

Perfect for grapplers seeking to:

  • Convert closed guard from defensive to offensive foundation.
  • Employ a structured, method-driven system built for live rolling.
  • Link sweeps, transitions, and submissions into a cohesive flow.
  • Match technical refinement with modern competitive pressure.

✅ Key Benefits

  • Deep, layered structure that prioritizes control and flow.
  • Versatile game plan, equally effective in gi and no-gi settings.
  • Drill-ready system designed for high-pressure training environments.
  • Strategic chaining, empowering you to stay one step ahead of your opponent.
