Full Description

????️ Systematically Attacking The Guard by Gordon Ryan

Master a complete guard-passing system based on loose-style passes, high-step entries, and live implementation insights.

???? Course Overview

Systematically Attacking The Guard (also released as 2.0) is Gordon Ryan’s flagship instructional series on guard passing. The syllabus spans eight volumes and over ten hours of detailed coaching, featuring a flowchart and extensive visual aids. It's built to serve both beginners and elite competitors, focusing on a clear, systematic methodology rather than disjointed techniques.

???? Course Structure & What You’ll Learn

Volume 1 – Foundations & Closed Guard Breaks: Introduction to his new philosophy of passing; establishing inside-foot positioning; breaking closed guard and dealing with rubber guard; entries: split squat, toreando pass setups.
Volume 2 – Knee Shield & Half Guard Tactics: handling low and high knee shields; cross-shoulder stabilization; back-step variations transitioning into guillotines.
Volume 3 – Grip Battles & Half Guard Pressure: pummeling for knee-line control; using shin-to-leg interplay; strategies to force half guard.
Volume 4 – High-Step & Advanced Passes: high-step pass initiation; toreando vs high-step decision-making; managing reaps and opponent counters.
Volumes 5–8 – Live Rolling & Commentary: real-time sparring footage; detailed commentary explaining each pass and reaction in live scenarios.

???? Instructor Profile: Gordon Ryan

Gordon “The King” Ryan (b. 1995) is a three-time ADCC champion, four-time Eddie Bravo Invitational champion, and multiple-time IBJJF No-Gi World champion.

A technical review highlighted:

“Systematically Attacking The Guard 2.0 … in-depth instruction and practical insights… precise and detailed… whether you are just starting or a seasoned athlete, you’ll find something you didn’t already know here.”

From Reddit, one grappler noted:

“One of the first things on there is the rolling kimura pass. I started doing that and haven’t needed the rest of the instructional since lol.”
