A high-level comprehensive guide to guard retention from the main guard play positions
Amazing, great for retention
great content from Gordon as always!
Wealth of knowledge in this video, as a white belt this can be quite overwhelming at times but just take it step by step and its working well in my game plan when rolling and i've improved a lot as i've also received comments from people i normally roll with. For me personally, Only down side would be Gordons style of teaching . I struggle to stay focused at times as it's not that engaging for the view as other instructors are. But all in all 5 stars would recommend.
Gordon Ryan
Gordon explains his method for guard retention combined with an attacking mentality with the precision of a genius. He approaches jiu-jitsu with the analytical mindset of a mathematician. Once you try Danaher and Ryan’s instructional material, you’ll realize nothing else compares.

Excellent content! Gordon Ryan gives very detailed instruction on guard retention. The concepts discussed in this video have helped improve my underdstanding of guard retention and I believe it is well worth the purchase!
Great explanations

Really good instructional
Lots of details and concepts, with guidelines on what to think about in different situations, excellent!
Thanks for the video
I bought my first GR video as a white belt. Six years later and now a purple belt these videos still keep on giving just as much. There is so much content, so much detail that there is always something new gain. Every GR video is a must have and needs to be watched and rewatched over and over...
Gordon shows not only how to avoid your opponent to pass your guard but to counter attack as soon as possible from every position.
gweat
Best in the buisness
some of what he says might be general but tbh that helps when rolling. i just remind myself the one goal when I roll (DO NOT LET THEM GRAB THE HEAD) or (RECOVER THE KNEE LINE). I’m still working through it but its very legit.
Change my guard retention approach!!!!
Helpful content from Gordon as always
great information.
Unmatched in quality and detail, an amazing instructional for all levels learning to retain guard better. My one complain is that this really could of been split between Gordon's half guard and 2 open guard instructionals for how much they cost (and how much this costs). It's a goat instructional from the goat cant really complain too much, but particularly the one chapter on half guard should have been in the half guard instructional.
amazing content I use it all the time
Awesome!!!

.
Gordon teaches you the good stuff in this one, even at white belt my opponents have had much greater difficulty passing my guard after this instructional.
Gordon know what to do in every single situation, that is what makes him the goat
great instructional, highly recommend
Good basics
Amazing as always
Easy to understand and apply.
Such a good well organized instructional. I often refer to it after having issues with partners, and my problems are usually quickly resolved after review
out of all the many skills and videos that Gordon Ryan has, I'm pretty sure this is his longest video series. Danaher has said that he recommends his students start with a good foundation of guard retention, to have confidence to then attack from guard. Outstanding material here, that gets into concepts and not just technique.
Really great instructional. Gordon really breaks down each position from both the offensive and defensive side which is incredibly helpful.
good
Chnaged my game!
Has hugely improved my guard retention. Definitely useful especially with open guard attacks DVD.
