Another key principle under all these volumes is that if you force exchanges that limit your partner’s counters, you can predict what’s next and have an answer ready! It seems like a simple idea, but it has been taken to its gold medal best under Gordon and John Danaher, who have left no stone unturned in the system shown here.

There is an incredible amount of information here, but there might not be a better example here than the butterfly guard (an important guard for any leg locker) that is broken down with a mix of tight and loose passing.

With an entry into a bodylock pass, see how Gordon controls their hips and limits their movements while keeping his mobility alive for the hip heists, knee slides, and even jumping passes that he has drilled to perfection. Go one step further and see the single leg x, x, and reverse x passes that the world’s best leg locker relies on when the heat is on (including the cross ashi escape that might save your knee one day!).

So What’s On This Series?

Gordon Ryan Created This Passing System Training For ADCC Where He Dominated His Way To Gold

Enter into the guard passing system that gives you an A to B to C roadmap that gets you past the guard and in full control of the fight. You aren’t relying on strength, speed, or athleticism, just technique and strategy that gives you an “if they do this, then do that” mentality that guides you through the guard. By understanding your best positions like the split squat, half butterfly, and knee shield, you can always be driving the fight to your favor, and then connecting those positions when you need to increase your advantage even more. That connective tissue is the real secret behind why Gordon hits his passes on even the elite of the elite (including world champions like Yuri Simoes, Jackson Sousa, Kaynan Duarte, and Craig Jones) BUT it is a secret no longer! Every answer is here, from the champ himself, broken down to a science.

It’s easy to look good if nothing ever goes wrong, but sadly in BJJ, that just isn’t realistic. With that in mind, see what the best no-gi grappler in the world does even in his worst positions from top. Even though he is always working to get to his best positions (where the pass is imminent) sometimes you lose underhooks, or your balance gets messed up, or you just get caught up in something that makes progressing a nightmare! Gordon’s goes over every solution for even the most problematic guards he runs into, including deep half, lockdown, and even the rubber guard!

This system is so connected and dynamic that to really appreciate it, you have to see it in action. We have you covered! Watch first as we have Gordon spar a bunch of tough jiu-jitsu fighters in a row, then see Gordon watch his own training back, narrating exactly what was going through his head as he was attacking each guard! See it early to get a general idea of the system, or once you have seen the full instructional series, you can go back and watch to see how much more you notice the little battles that Gordon is always fighting, like the ways he balances his body when people drop into his legs, or the grips he uses to control an opponent when they sit versus when they lay down. With the man himself giving you his mindset, you can better understand and appreciate the timing, connections, and hidden details behind the movements he breaks down during the instructional series.
