So much detail! Much appreciated.
It's all about the Nogi pass. Other series are good, of course, but those who are burdened with costs or lack time will be able to familiarize themselves with all passes with this video alone. You can also see Gordon Ryan's special way of passing. It's not a waste of money.
The title says its a systematic instructional on the subject and it certainly is, it goes through all the most effective techniques and details for attacking your opponents guard.
This is why he's KING RYAN. Solid approach and explanation. He is not only the best no gi grappler out there but also one of the best instructor to ever cover this topic.
Great instructional
A very detailed approach to Gordon's passing game! He shows how to address each of the various modern guards so you have an answer to any possible guard. My only criticism of this instructional is that he goes through move, after move, after move and it's a lot of information to remember and to apply in the gym. It would be helpful if he incorporated more concepts and basic rules, similar to what Danaher does, to support the system. This way you can understand the premise behind the moves, which makes it easier to remember and apply in training.
This is one of the most in depth series ever. Gordon Ryan adds tidbits along they way that apply beyond passing. In order to pass well he talks about positional tweaks that you need to implement to beat frames or that a smart partner will attempt to stop your passing. These will have the added benefit of making you better at guard and submissions and pinning, not just passing. You need to take notes. You need to practice to implement. If you do this you will become a problem in the room.
Great content! Will Vance your game!
What a breakdown! Very systematic as the title suggests. The DDS have mapped the game down to a science!
Man, I'm addicted to Ryan and Danaher's stuff. Amazing minds in the BJJ world.
You can tell this is one of his earlier instructionals as the production quality and his delivery has improved. It would be better to see him demonstrating on somebody his size to get a better visual representation of the moves, but it’s good enough. Worth it just for the key details that make the moves work. Great reference if you’re having trouble in an area of passing.
Really good application of DDS technique
Great system with high level details that make all the difference.
Great detail on everything you need to know to pass every guard.
Excellent instructional, very solid presentation
Great teaching, details and battle proven systematic approach from the Best!
Lots of great info - can’t fault
Excellent instructional with a great focus on details.
This is a masterclass in guard passing. No matter your passing style you will find useful information. This helped me connect the pieces of my passing game.
Good stuff from King Gordo!
Dramatically improved my top game
Learn how to pass the guard from the best there is! Nuff' said!
Awesome, this is game changer
This instructional is detailed, intelligent and a must have. I have been watching it religiously and passing all the guards.
I learned and applied this to my game very quickly. It is useful and easy to understand.
Very methodical approach of guard passing.
This approach of attacking the guard is new to me and very intriguing. I enjoyed watching and learning from this program.
amazing stuff such great detail!
Gordon does a great job of showing you the way to pass VARIOUS guards. I have been able to put some of these techniques to use immediately. Highly recommended.
Changed my guard passing for the better forever. Honestly didn’t have a clue about passing before I bought this instructional
This was very helpful for me.
It helped me a lot. Great dvd
The level of instruction provided by Gordon Ryan is astonishing. He is almost as talented of a teacher as he is a grappler. The guard passing techniques shown in this series will take your game to the next level.
The concepts being taught are logical and systematic. It doesn't involve any strength use. But for some scenario, options are also provided to get the most effective counter or at least a guard retention.
Was hesitant at first to spend this much on an instructional, but glad I did. Obviously Gordon's stuff is next level, but was still surprised on how well this instructional was put together. Great details, extremely well organized and does a great job building on material throughout the video.
Gordon and the DDS provide an immense amount of detail that has opened my mind to proper ways passing AND attacking the guard with a systems approach - as an engineer I can truly appreciate systems level thinking and not just a “move “ that most instructional videos teach without a system to support the technique.
Great structured and well explained! Pretty easy to follow and works nicely in training 🙌�
Love the way he makes you understand body mechanics and the principles behind the techiniques.
Great customer service!
Comprehensive instructional on a very complicated area of BJJ. Well-structured system that will repay years of study.
Amazing
Gordon just explains things clearly. It’s easy to understand
Excellent guard passing instructional. My guard passing went up exponentially after viewing. Gordon goes over a variety of passing types and gives great insight into the whys, whens, and hows
Well thought and structured! Loved all the concepts and the way they were explained.
I have a large number of the BJJ fanatics videos and of the several I've made it through this one is by far my favorite. This video has an insane amount of content, it's easy to understand, very efficiently explained and is organized well. I've been able to pick a number of things from here based on positions I find myself in and then practice them in regular rolls and hit a fair number of them as a white belt (just got blue), something I've struggled with when trying to apply things from other videos (often I drill them well, but then struggle when rolling).
This course has 8 volumes and each is very in depth. He's a great teacher and methodically goes over every technique. Because there's so much there, you'll probably need to watch it many times to get it all down.
Fantastic stuff!
Really good system for passing from the GOAT
No gi guard passing is a different beast than the gi. Learn how to pass without relying on your grips and athletesism.
Fantastic!
