In depth
Completely game changing for me! Detailed, easy to comprehend, Effective techniques.
I found the technique and instruction to be very good but it was a little too advanced for me as a white belt. Now that Ive been doing it a bit longer I've gone back to it and have learned a lot more.
Gordon's instructionals are the best in the game. The rolling footage is such a great touch and the content has made an instant impact on my game.
I love Gordon's teaching style. He explains in detail extremely useful BJJ concepts, and it is for every belt level. My escape game has improved a lot because of the instructional. Note: Gordon talks slow so I recommend playing the instructional at 1.5 speed.
I throughly enjoy learning from the GOAT about pin escape. This instructional really improves my game. Note: put the video speed to 1.5 or 2 because gordon talks slow.
Awesome series and incredibly detailed. Highly recommended
Gordon is a master of jiu jitsu and his dedication to passing on the knowledge he has acquired is unparalleled. All the Pillars of Defense are well done and super helpful.
I've been hitting the kipping mount escape on everyone
This instructional pair with exit the system by garry tonon and pin escapes by danaher are the holy trinity for pin escapes and getting back into offensive cycles right after !
Really useful stuff regardless of age.
great
Great instructional
I've been training for less than a year and after watching this I've become a lot more difficult for higher belts to pin me. Gordon does a phenomenal job explaining the techniques and what the movements are intended to accomplish. Incredibly worthwhile!
Great system for learning how to approach pin escapes does not require athleticism or explosiveness
Great no-gi followup to Danaher's pin escapes series from the Go Further Faster series. The essential stuff distilled from his best student without Danaher's longwinded delivery
Excellent content, Gordon disappoints. I've become very hard to pin and submit as a result of implementing the techniques from this course.
Skilled and comprehensive class
It's extremely helpful to have these videos available to refer to
Defensive to Offensive for sure! Love it
Thank you for sharing!
I feel like after this I can take more risks attacking with my comfort in escapes.
I really enjoyed watching this series. The kipping escape portion from mount is worth the price of the dvd alone. It’s been an excellent addition into my game.
Really helped me improve my pin escapes. No more getting stuck in side control!
as youd expect very thorough and full of the fine details that you need to make the escapes work.
Clear instruction, complete system, effective maneuvers. Bjj fanatics delivers again!!
Amazing Content!
Just the first 5 minutes of this instructional will make a difference for the better in your grappling game, the way the details are explained along with the demonstrations is very easy to follow & you can tell it's applicable to a real live situation when you practice with a resisting opponent
Nice job Gordon
So many details. I’ve been able to execute many of the techniques in live training.
An instructional necessary for the improvement of fundamental concepts that are mandatory to add to our toolbox.
The quality of this instruction is amazing. He covers all the bases of training escapes. His explanations leave no stone un covered. Best escapes instructional out
A complete game plan for every likely scenario for pin escapes
Easy to understand and put into use right away.
Gordon Ryan is the best in the world right now. This is over 9 hours of instruction on a fundamental aspect of the sport. Get better at your sport.
Knowing how to avoid being pinned not only gives you a strong defense but gives the confidence to attack.Gordon does a good job of going from basic/broad topics to more advanced/specific topics sequentially
What can you say, its Gordan Ryan. Like all of the other instructional videos by him this is a must have. Don't be held down again.
The subtle details are great
Helped my game immensely and if you are new gives you an idea of what you should be looking to do and all the small details that make a huge difference
Excellent pin escapes, suitable for every belt level
A+++
Really looking forward to apply these techniques over the course of the my journey. It's always great to be able to study online, apply in training, and then come back to refine the game. Thanks for putting this together!
Absolutely fantastic
Awesome to learn so many defenses in one place
Really great instructions. Get it
Techniques and concepts translate to training really quickly, but also take a long time to get all the details.
So many details of things I never learned over the past 10 years of training. Couldn’t believe how much content was in one instructional either.
Great
I have a new found confidence in escapes
Another game changing video by the king!
