Fantastic video. This instructional is presented in a clear and concise manner.
Easy to understand and implement! Changed my side control game from a transitional area to a strong attacking position. My confidence has grown tremendously in this area since watching this video and making adjustments to my game.
All of Gordons instructionals should be required learning for everyone.
Very clear content and instruction. Moves are clearly explained and different angles are shown. The concept of dillemas and the structure around those dillemas are very useful. Learn a couple of useful details on many "traditional" side control attacks
Great review overall and takes the guessing game out of top pins. Gordon covers all areas of side mount and north south position. I work on getting better at the system and it has helped a ton in tournaments and training. Couldn’t recommend this instructional enough.
Finally I understand the goal of side pins and north south from a conceptual level and have added great details to my game that I had never thought of
Awesome side control and north side details, really goes in depth on nut jst the submissions but on how to maintain the pin when someone tries to recover their guard.
Absolute must for anyone wanting to build a better and more defined no gi grappling game. This REALLY pairs good with mount so I highly recommend you buy both if you can. Get this and get tip pinnified!
Very detailed instructions as all Gordon’s videos. Well worth the money. Think of the content as a very long seminar that you can rewatch endlessly and always get something new out of it.
Invaluable knowledge to help you for years to come
Gordon breaks down details like only he and others from Danaher’s team
Truly great info. Thank you Gordon!
So I have watched a few Gordon Ryan videos by now, and all are good. This one though I particularly liked and recommended because it is so focused and useful. Some other videos like his passing video are very good but it's so much material and its harder to absorb. This side control video is easy to digest and immediately implement into your game. I absolutely loved it.
Great instructional. He defiantly has a system he uses that has made him the best, and it is easy to learn I picked up on a lot of little details on things Ive been doing wrong and how to tighten things up. As Gordon puts up "This is how this will work against the best guys in the world, a lot of guys do it this other way but that will never work on anyone good"
Great info!
I swear every Gordon Ryan instructional is pure genius! Love the setup explanations and in particular his knowledge breakdowns on dilemmas / trilemmas.
First instructional from the GOAT. Great ! Everything is clear and full of important details.
Another top notch instructional from the G.O.A.T.
Gordon is the man
Solid stuff
Love it every thing Gordon puts out is pure gold
For what many athletes solve with athleticism and intuition, Gordon solves with technical understanding. As always, GR provides not only the 'how', but the 'why' to each method. No doubt one of the best instructors on BJJ fanatics.
Awesome!
Improved my game tenfold
You can’t go wrong with New Wave Jiu-Jitsu!
What makes the difference here is a) clarity of thought b) clear heuristics that you can use under pressure and c) good quality instruction. Too many instructionals give techniques without clear understanding of when you would use each part and how it should fit together.
You can never go wrong with any of King Ryan’s instructional. This is another great one . Great content and as always full of detail. Add this to your collection.
Clean and precise instructional and valuable for every belt.
Gordon did it again. This instructional is loaded with little details guaranteed to change your understanding of these positions.
Extremely extensive, simple concepts but they're very effective.
Gordon Ryan gives yet another great instructional. The emphasis on the goals of both players in different positions is what makes his instructionals exceptional. Buying this will not only give you with a bunch of effective techniques to learn but an understanding of the big picture regarding side control and north south attacks.
BEST
By far the best video about side control and north south. Almost 8 hours of concepts, pins, transitions, submissions and combinations.
Clear and precise explanation on the techniques to overcome your opponents from the side control and north south. I highly recommend this video to all BJJ practitiners.
As usual.
He continues putting out excellent and insightful content.
More gold from the man!
Second favorite Gordon series so far. Behind his guard passing instructions. This series pairs very well with his Mount & Back Attack series.
Number 1
Great way to dive into and understanding Gordons top pin game. Always pointing out a lot of different options and counters.
Anything Ryan puts out is top notch!
Awesome instructional!
